Yeah, placing the space blanket underneath the hammock is the best choice. Only problem is, I recently experienced a tremendous amount of condensation for some strange reason. The hammock got and the blanket got wet and I eventually wound up freezing me ares of because of it. Don’t know why, but everything was drenched with condensation and then froze like ice and it was only 28 out. Bad news for my down bag. First time this has happened.

This is my preferred way for the cold. i’ve been doing it this way for years. As i use an air mattress, i limit condensation by placing the blanket under the air mattress. and obviously you can fold the other half over your bag, if needed.

Wool blankets are supposed to be super warm I am thinking a couple of them and you don’t have to buy the expensive and bulky sleeping bag… plus a wool blanket can be worn as a poncho during hiking.

space blanket doesn’t breathe so all your moisture gets trapped inside.

Try this poke a small hole in the base of the sleeping bag and pull the bottom of the hammock through. This way the hammock and the mummy are working in tandum. Hop into the hammock then slide the mummy over you like a snake skin. Did this with my daughters hammock and a regular sleeping bag it worked well for her. Would this also allow moisture a place to exit?
