I used this for my mid day naps and sleeping at night.  in order to keep warm, you must have a blanket below and above you.  The best blanket in my opinion is a sleeping bag.  It stays around your feet, covers the top and the bottom of you.  

I love my hammocks.

My take from friends using these;
Hammocks work well in mild climate since they sleep colder than a tent setup......when you start to get into high elevation in colder weather or lots of rain- hammocks lose their utility.

Robtatto, using a wobbie is a very good idea as you can also easily use it as a jacket if it gets cold out. Don't know how many people here will know what a woobie is.

I have a couple of Grand Trunk ultralights. I made a couple of different suspensions. I use a -20 bag and a Z-lite pad when needed. I need to invest in better tarps in the future.

I haven't used a hammock in awhile but make sure you put something heavy to sleep on if bugs are out. They will destroy you through the main fabric.

There is a guy on YouTube called Shugemery, he is goofy (funny I think) and will teach you everything you need to know about hammock camping, in any temperature! I guess he is a Shugexpert!
