At the age of 64, I found I could no longer sleep well or comfortably on the ground. Even while canoe camping and using a lightweight cot, I would get up stiff and sore every morning. I decided I had to get off the ground so I bought a $40 gathered end hammock on Amazon and used it on several trips with my tarp. I slept better and didn't wake up sore. I did my research and decided that a bridge hammock was the way I wanted to go, even though it would be a bit more weight. I settled on the WBRR double-layer and a Thunderfly tarp. I kept an eye on the WB site and was fortunate enough to catch a good sale. Last year I used it from early spring through late fall and it was fantastic. I sleep better in it than I do in my bed at home (of course, all that fresh air helps). At the time, getting a top quilt and underquilt was not possible, so I used my 40d sleeping bag on top along with a Klymit V insulated pad and a military casualty blanket as bottom insulation in the sleeve . With the proper clothing , I slept fine into the mid-40s. I wanted to shed some bulk (the sleeping bag) so later in the season, I bought a Pine Down Blanket on Massdrop and used that with a Costco down blanket that I had with the same bottom insulation. Along with the clothing, I slept fine into the same temps. For this past Christmas and my 65th birthday, I asked for and received a Hammock Gear Econ Burrow 20d top quilt, an Arrowhead Equipment Ridge Creek XL 3 season underquilt and a 2QZQ underquilt protector. I am looking forward to using them this year, probably still with the casualty blanket in the sleeve. Here are some photos of my setup on some of my Adirondack trips.
