That's me, I'm never cold. Cold wind can be cold, but when there is no wind, there cannot be cold.
I've discovered my body's secret to cold immunity is going backpacking with a hammock and no under quilt when the lows are in the 20s, with a sleeping bag that lied about its rated temperature.
Unfortunately I have to repeat it every 5-8 years.
It is important to note that the trip where I discovered this was supposed to have lows in the 60s, but a blue northern rolled in on the first night.
ahh yes fellow hammock camper, i gave up at 3am, started a fire and stumbled around in the dark with a headlamp trying to gather more wood.
I was insufficiently prepared for the first night in a camping hammock.
It was at a music festival in West Virginia on a mountain top.
90s (32-34) during the day, 50 ( 10c ) maybe at night.
Dewpoint somewhere inbetween with nearly 100% humidity.
The party favors don’t help my lack of sleep but I almost drowned AND got hypothermia in that thing over night lmao
Yeah, unless the lows are in the 70s or above, and under quilt is necessary.
I made the right choice buying REIs structured hammock, because I ended up using it on the ground as a tent.
