Ok so I use a grand trunk double all the time outside of hunting but I've been thinking of hunting with a hammock next year.
I run an Easton kilo 2p, decent sleeping bag and a zlite pad currently but it takes up a chunk of room... Weight isn't a huge issue, but mobility bugs me. I don't like the time required to break down and move camp and usually end up getting lazy and doing more of a spike camp set up.
With the wife and 2 young boys and horses I plan go with a spring bar tent (kodiak) for times when they are coming with. However my wife is pretty awesome and gives me opening weekend to do me and go alone...
Biggest question I'm having is under quilt vs just going to a heavier duty colder sleeping bag . Wondering if anyone has any luck with a lower temp bag and hammock only? When I use my hammock normally I run my zlite pad under me, my normal sleeping bag and seem ok but I also use it when it's warmer out.
Was thinking possibly 0 degree kifaru slick bag and my hammock and a small tarp only for my mid August hunts.
