I know after starting a thread with a title like this one I don’t deserve it but do you suppose any one could tell me how thick of closed cell foam it would take to stay warm on a cool (maybe 45°) night? Any one sleep on closed cell foam in a hammock?

Magic,

I used to throw a closed cell foam into my Clark's Jungle Hammock.  I actually did it to achieve the degree of the flatness you get with your Hennessey Hammock.  I don't see why you couldn't do something similar with your Hennessey.

Of course, if there was a fire overnight, you could have all-hell-to-pay in trying to get out of your contraption in a timely fashion since you access/egress from the bottom (versus from the top, as in a more civilized/functional style of hammock such as what I use).

The Clark may be more expensive than the Hennessey but - other than the flat sleeping - I'll take the Clark any day!  Frankly, the pea pod concept suits me better, anyway. 

Later,

Jimbo   Cool

Believe me; yesterday I erased several posts that I had typed but somehow found the self control to NOT hit the "post" button.


I hate it when they just nose the bait but never really take it.  It's why I like fishing with artificials better.  It was a worthy effort though, MP.

I voted for 2, 4, 6, and 8.  Might as well cover all bases.

I didn't see my shadow the other day so spring must be near.

Magic, you made your bed... There is a hammock forum I've seen in my travels. In any case, this thread is now tainted so you're welcome to try your luck again with a more accurate title. I'd suggest the gear forum.

Since I'm not a swinger ... can you get closed cell pads thinner than 3/8ths? One thought is ground would suck more heat than the air. The other thought is hammock designers would have a better handle on that and would design/market in that general direction. What? No footprint?

I am not a swinger! But I am an inney not by choice. I run the same thermarest in the Hennesey as I do on the ground; that was my solve to this dilemma of the cold back/stiff as a board no footprint paradox.

I think you can get closed cell foam in almost any thickness, have you tried e-bay?  I use a big pool float which is bed sized and at least an inch thick.  It works for me because I can tuck it onto the bottom of my kayak and sit on it when travelling and it stays in when I portage.  Otherwise the bulk would be a pain  Tongue
My pad is very warm and waterproof too.  I have seen a lot of BLUE closed cell foam sheets, I guess they are for yoga?  I would think one of them tucked into the pocket outside would go a long way toward keeping you warmer.  They are less bulky and could be strapped on top of a pack or the deck of a kayak to carry.

As far as OS's salty survey...my knowledge of PJ is not keen; and my perception is- this is just simply part of the journey, thank God it is entertaining! Now I am an Outey! Wink

Insulmat...it is a warm, inflateable sleeping pad, a bit pricey but seems to be a sturdy item.  I used one of these a friend had and was sold, and purchased one for myself.  Another idea from Solotripper: Use the waffle anti-slip sheets sold to pad dish closets and keep dishes from slipping on the shelf to keep your nylon things from slipping out from under you.  I thought that was a GREAT idea!
