Inney verses outey

I got a new Black Bird this year and I am trying to find the best way to stay warm.  Which is best putting the insulation under the hammock or in between the bottom layers or inside?

It will depend on what you plan on using for insulation. If it gets squashed wherever you put it then it will not be as effective. Down (or similar synthetic) is a great lightweight insulator but if you put it under your body and it gets squashed it's almost worthless. If you were to wrap it around the outside of the hammock down could work pretty well and pack up really small. Otherwise closed cell foam works well under body weight.

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

KF,

That's an advantage of the Clark Jungle Hammock over the other type hammocks.  Several large pockets are stitched on the underside of the Clark.  I stuff'em w/socks, whatever, & the insulating power is pretty good.

Snow_Dog,

I, too, thought the thread title was PJ bait... at first.    I, myself, had comtemplated numerous other titles for topics I figured might just put PJ "over the edge".  Like PJ, however, I exercised restraint (but I'll keep them in my back pocket for amusement potential).  It's the old "encyclopedia vs. social forum" debate.  

Somewhere in-between lies glory-land for a site like QJ....

Jimbo   Cool

PS  So are your thumbs straight or do they curl backward, slightly?

The question was real but the title was bait.  Hope every one can laugh about it.

This happens every winter.  If you live in the northern clime's, by February we have been couped up for too long and looking for anyone and anything to talk too and anything to talk about with anyone who will listen.

So . . . . . . . . . when I'm done moving snow today, should I hang or hide the shovel?  Should I place it outside by the front door or should I put it back in the garage?  Should I shoot the squirrels that ravaged my bird-feeders or let them live, get fat and die of complications with obesity?

Well spoken.  I hope everyone can laugh at everything I post too.  Just because I think it's a stupid post or question doesn't mean that it is.  I mean, chances are that your post probably was stupid but  . . . lets call a spade a spade.  A brief skimming of QJ Forum history will clearly reveal that I am right almost every time and fully justified with any insult I might cast towards you and if you can't handle this fact, well, . . . . that's a "YOU" problem.  I also haven't had a grammar or spelling error in years and I NEVER post while intoxicated.

PJ,

It depends.   Do you have a decent recipe for squirrel?  

Of course, fileting squirrel looks like it could be a bit of a chore (I'd have to ask Mad_Mat about that).  Might be smarter to let them fatten-up a bit in order to make it more worthwhile.

Jimbo   Cool

P.S.  Just to be able to say I've said something "on topic", I should respond to Magic's original question:  I guess I'm an "outey", Magic.
