How (and why!) to use a sleeping pad in a hammock
Yes, it's time to throw away your expensive underquilt for hammock camping. Just kidding! That being said I pretty much use a sleeping or camping pad almost exclusively in a hammock. Two big reasons why you might want to consider it are for cost savings and for flexibility in case you have to go to the ground. In this video I show you how to maneuver with the camping pad in the single layer hammock and how to adjust so that you get an optimal lay.
THING I FORGOT: Of course, all this is slightly easier with a double layer hammock. You can just put a sleeping pad in between the layers. Some people even put velcro or rubberized sticky tabs on their hammock/sleeping pad to stop it from moving around as much.

Will a Sleeping Pad Work Inside a Hammock?

It sounds simple enough. Why can't I just use my sleeping bag inside of my hammock? I've already invested in nice down insulation. Why do I have to buy additional hammock insulation?
This is one of those questions we get a lot. In this video we'll take a look at using a sleeping bag inside of a hammock, and why in reality, it's really not a good option! In addition we'll be testing a lesser known technique; using an insulated sleeping pad within a hammock, and comparing it with more traditional methods.

Q&A / Episode #1 / Why not a sleeping bag / Hammock Camping
Since starting this channel. I have been getting a lot of questions. Mainly about the hammock and the tarp. For a while now. I have been thinking about doing a Q&A series. I believe it is easier to learn something when someone shows you while talking about it. Then to just text it.
So the plan is to take some questions in the comment section. And try to answer them the best that I can.

vlog: Sleeping in the Hammock
I had some problems with insects over the weekend while sleeping in my hammock. The hammock is freaking awesome, if you've never spent a few nights swinging in the breeze I highly recommend it. It's great for travel because it pack so small, and keeps you off the wet, rocky ground. This trip was my first time using it, and I can't wait to use it again.

Hammock Sleeping Bag
The Hammock-Compatible Sleeping Bag is a brilliant solution for hammock sleeping on cool and cold nights. Most sleeping bags compress under your back when you lay in a hammock, which crushes the insulating loft and lets your back freeze. But Grand Trunk's Hammock-Compatible Bag wraps around you and the hammock, creating a warm, swinging nest. Hanging in the cool mountain air never felt so good.
