Cheap DIY Hammock underquilt - less than 10 dollars and works like a charm
Even nights in Thailand can get cold, and an underquilt be needed. But to carry a full size underquilt is not really needed, so I made my own. I give you a quick information on my take on a DIY underquilt that work really fine.
How To Make A Poncho Liner Under Quilt or PLUQ for Hammock Camping
Step by step instructions on how to make a DIY No Sew Poncho Liner Under Quilt for under $45.00 in about an hour or less. I show how it works and how easy it is to make a nice comfy under quilt that is good down to 45 degrees. More insulation such as reflectix or a space blanket can be added in the fold for colder weather. I added some additional mods such as more cord locks and a secondary suspension for more adjustability.
To make the PLUQ into a 3 season underquilt try adding in some insulation like Climashield. Just click on this video link for my step by step insturction on added that extra insulation and sewing the PLUQ closed.
Affordable/Common Man's Under Quilt for Newbees...
Are you new to Hammock Camping and considering switching out your camp pad/air mattress for an under quilt? Have a limited budget for camping gear and want to try out a camping hammock underquilt to see why everyone says they are so comfy and warm? Then check out this quick DIY NO SEW Poncho Liner Under Quilt made from a US Military Poncho Liner.
Check out this link for the instructions:
Materials I Used (I already had some of the shock cord and cord locks so my cost was around $45):
1 - Poncho Liner $20-$36 (Purchased mine on EBay for $36) New US Military for durability
2 - Cord Locks $2-$4 (I used 3 more than what the instructions required to add more adjustability)
230 inches of 1/8 Shock Cord - $3-$4 (Got mine on Amazon.com) I used less than recommended
84 inches of 3/32 Shock Cord - $4 (Purchased at Cabela's in a package of 45 feet)
Optional 120 inches of 3/32 Shock Cord for Secondary Suspension
2 - Plastic Nite Ize S-Biners $3-$4 (any small carabineers will work...these have a 10 lbs. limit)
Tools Used:
Scissors, lighter, small Allen Wrench
Optional - wire or coat hanger and pliers to feed cord through the channels on the poncho liner
Since I'm relatively new to the whole hammock camping scene I'm still collecting the gear I need to be comfortable, safe and warm. I did purchase a Winter 20 degree under quilt from HammockGear.com but still needed an affordable warm weather under quilt. After weighing my options and my budget (spent too much on the winter underquilt) I settled on a DIY no sew solution that was easy, quick and cheap for a warm weather option. Most of the materials for the PLUQ can be purchased locally and assembled in under 1 hour.
A resource I found very helpful was Almost everything you need to know about hammock camping can be found at this site and they do also have a book. This is where I found the instructions to build my PLUQ...with a few mods of my own.
Also check out to answer ANY questions you might have on hammock camping. These guys are awesome, friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a TON of information on the PLUQ from people who have built their own and used them for years.
And...Check out Mr. Shug Shugedy shug shug for some awesome, entertaining and educational hammock camping videos. He's also a big hammockforums.net member. No really. Check out his YouTube channel. You'll love it. He's an entertainer, juggler, unicycler and all around fun guy to watch.

360 ThermaQuilt Hammock Underquilt, Overquilt, Tech Blanket & Sleeping Bag For Hammock Camping
The Grand Trunk 360 ThermQuilt Underquilt, Overquilt for your hammock is an easy way to add some warmth while hanging in your favorite camping hammock. Made for those chilly nights where you want to enjoy your hammock but it's too cold underneath.
Hammocks get cold from the bottom up. Simply putting a sleeping bag or blanket inside the hammock won't help keep you warm. When you lay down in a hammock and 'compress' the insulation, the thermal properties of the insulation are lost. Our Hammock ThermaQuilt wraps around your hammock and keeps warm air in and cold air out.
It's a simple and easy way to add some warmth when you're hanging out or want to sleep under the skies. If you're thinking about making your own underquilt or hammock blanket, then consider this Grand Trunk hammock underquilt alternative which is easy and affordable.
The Grand Trunk Thermaquilt is good for nightly temperatures down to 40 degrees.

DIY Gear: Underquilt
Check out some of my favorite backpacking gear here:
This is my DIY underquilt made for my hammock. It is made from Momentum 90 material and 900 fill power down from thru-hiker.com. The dimensions are 53 * 44. It uses a radial design with the outer layer of fabric being wider than the inside layer to avoid compressing the down when hanging. The nanoseeum baffles are 2.5 tall but fluff up to about 4.5 of loft. I used 8.8 total ounces of down (1.1 in each chamber).

DIY Hammock Under Quilt -Costco Blankets
This is a quick look at the making of an Under Quilt (UQ) out of two Costco down blankets (one was branded Eddie Bauer).
I chose to do a 3/4 length as I plan on using it in warmer weather. Not sure if two blankets will be too warm, but they are quite thin, so I figured I'd go with two. This is only the second time I've used a sewing machine, so the stitching is fairly rough.
I've hung it under my Warbonnet Outdoors Blackbird XLC, but it also works great on my Hennessy Explorer Deluxe (and most other hammocks I assume).
Total cost would likely be around $65 Canadian.. so cheaper than a proper underquilt. I think I'm only going to rely on this one if the temps are not going below 8 deg celsius.
Overall, it actually works pretty good and the draft collars I incorporated seem to keep all the drafts out.
I'll be doing a 3 night fishing trip in July, I'll try to do a bit of a review after a couple of nights in it.
Cheap hammock underquilt made from sleeping bag
Bought a hammock and wanted to make it suitable for sleeping in while out bush. Sick of setting up and packing up a wet tent. Used some things lying around the house to make a warm underquilt to provide warmth for the underside of the hammock.
