Using a Camping Pad as Hammock Insulation

Don't let a cold back or buttocks keep you from sleeping overnight in you hammock. Throw that pad in and get on out there to the Backwood Hood.
More than likely you already got pad laying around or iff'n you don't then there are some really affordable Closed Cell Foam pads out there.

Shug mate not only are you very informative but you are also a character. And there are not enough of them! You crack me up! 😅😅

You have a nice sense of humor to mix in with your excellent teaching skills.

You put in a great deal of time and work showing others things that may work for them. I understand the concept of if you love it, it isn't work. Still,   these vids do not just fall together. Your better half must be a wonderful person. Thanks for your time.

"Hey, airplane, how bout another trajectory, I'm trying to talk to these people" hahaha, made my day!

I went hammock camping for the first time (from Tent) and had one of the best experiences camping. From God to your lips I thank you. . Wisdom beyond your years.

[DontLookBehindYou]

I really like the humor in your videos. You mix that well while still giving legitimately good tips. Thanks.

I've been following for about 5 months now and I must say he is my favorite YouTube entertainer by far.
got my first hammock and I've been out in the woods almost every weekend. thanx BUDDY!

Good job as usual. I started with hammocks in '99. Used a Ridgerest for years before I even heard of an under quilt. I trimmed the corners at an angle so it would fit better in the hammock(Hennessey). Thanks so much for all you time and effort putting these videos together.

Every single video has at least 1-2 (some have more) great suggestions and ideas - from a fellow old guy who finally pushed the button on hammock camping (after I tore up my knee) - thanks and keep hanging out for us

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL]

I love this guy. He's so much fun to watch. I bet he is great to hike around with.

[SuperUncleRyan]

Watching you fuss with those pads makes me want a underquilt even more. Just looks so much better and more comfortable. I'll just have to bite the bullet. "buy once, cry once" as we say in the shooting world.

[barrybrum]

Thanks, Shug. After watching you wrestle with that homemade winged pad, you've convinced me to buy the Klymit insulated Hammock V sleeping pad that I've been looking at. Keep hanging. Brum

Amazing humour, great knowledge and pure teaching skills <3 This man is a treasure!

[stephenosullivan]

Hey Shug! Found these via Hammock Forums, just wanted to say thanks man for taking the time to make the videos - very entertaining as well as useful - you're a 'sound man' as we say here in Ireland. Looking forward to my first hammock camp!! Keep on keepin' on.

[samkalma]

getting info across while being very entertaining makes a great youtube channel.

Nice socks!
I guess I fall into the superhuman category with under insulation. I have been able to sleep very well down to 55F with clothing and a synthetic bag. Gooood sleep...zzzz. Works for me, not for all.
The take away here for new folks is to use what you already have first and adjust to the conditions. After a while you'll know how to dial your hammock to what works.
Good stuff Shug!

Thanks Shug! Your videos have helped me a lot this year. Made the switch from the ground this spring and haven't looked back. Took my first cold weather trip a few weeks ago and used a borrowed 50 degree ENO Underquilt with a 3/4 closed cell foam pad and an inflatable Klymit Static V with no insulation. It got down to 28 degrees and I didn't have any problems with my 32 degree down sleeping bag as a topquilt. Warm and toasty! Never would have made it if it wasn't for you sharing your experience here. Really can't thank you enough!

[cnick]

Your the all great hammock teacher. I doubt if I ever will but would love to go camping with you sometime Shug. If you ever come down south I would surely like to meet you. Thanks Shug. Keep it up.

[jimmyrogers]

Shug you are the chit. I've watched your stuff from day one and I tune in regularly to see if you have new stuff. Thanks for what you do!
