Thanks for your DIY it worked very well. It was the second night I slept in my new hand, the first night with an X-lite last night was much better. My next step is to sew in faux baffles and change suspension. ( Paul Tomlin 3 years ago on RUclips ). Take care
Hello. This looks like a great idea. Can you please post the name of the Walmart kit you used? You called it a button-stopper in the video. Thanks, John
Better than paying 230 dollars. Good god. Hammock camping is expensive. I just hate tents. Wet ground, uneven ground, condensation if you can’t find a good area. I’ve read that both sleep systems weigh about the same but hammock camping is a bit more expensive.
Hammock camping can be ungodly expensive! But you can go "entry level" for pretty cheap if you're on a budget. What this guy shows here is very cheap and it works great. You can easily use a regular sleeping bag in several configurations instead of expensive top quilt. From the hammock to the tarp to the sleeping gear, you can go low budget if you get creative.
@@garymorris216 Same goes with tent camping. You can get a $20 tent from walmart or a $400 Big Agnes. You can get the $20 sleeping bad and $10 mattress pad, or the $500 bag and $200 pad. There's a little more to hammock camping, so the cheap end might end up a little more expensive than the cheap end of tent camping, but it's still relatively cheap.
@@amorton94 Absolutely true, yeah. I tent/ground camped for 41 years prior to getting into hammocking. Even back then I was getting most of my gear as cheap as possible. And I've always enjoyed the outdoors just as much as the guys with $300 sleeping bags and $500 tents.

I do this using a Jungle Blanket XL, makes a big difference, quick to deploy, I used tarp clips to seal the bottom
this is exactly what i was looking for. I'm going to use a cheap Walmart sleeping bag. ty
That’s a good idea. I need to make more but those down throw blankets aren’t always available.

Just ordered the 2-pack. One for a underquilt. The other for a top quilt. Figure that I'll put a footbox on the top.
Heph333 awesome! Yeah, I think that’ll work well
When you bunch that stuff up like that at the end you can actually use a zip tie
Looks good, I plan to try my CC underquilt on my hammock. Take care.
Quinn The Eskimo Awesome, hope it works well. Thanks for watching

Awesome Steve! How can you tell what the underquilt looks like when you are in the hammock? Good to see you again!
what temperature can it go?
What is that Walmart kit you used called?
Howdy Doughty - hey, did you ever find out the name of the Walmart kit he used? Thanks, John
Great job! Very very useful...
Good Afternoon Steve what is the name of the kit you found in Walmart and what department? Thanks
Is this what you used?

They're both as cheap and as expensive as you want to make it.
