- The best way to insulate underneath you while in your hammock is with a underquilt. Most people when purchasing an underquilt will more than likely buy a full-length underquilt. In this video. I am going to show you why a 3/4 length underquilt maybe a better choice for you.
We will also be looking at how to set it up. How to adjust it so it will fit around you perfectly to keep you comfortable and warm through out the night.

1. Dutchware Gear Wide 11ft. Netless Hammock ( www.dutchwaregear.com )

i love all the knowledge you share, on this video, you convinced me to get a full length because i get cold easy when i sleep. so that saves me money on experimenting with needs and wants of hammock camping
Runner rally struggles with his 3/4 length underquilt on staying warm at night time. I have been encouraging him to get a full length underquilt. Thank you for watching Scott Walker. I really appreciate it.
Ditto, I'm a freezy cat too
Thanks for that Marine, that answered several questions I had been pondering.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes from southern Catalunya
Thank you Paul. I appreciate that.
Superb video, very well explained with great visual detail
Another great informative video. Very insightful on the process. Hope your spring has been great, always look forward to your trip videos too! Happy trails.
It is always good to hear from you Scott. Runner and I are going on a short trip this Thursday. Do you have any trips planned?
Backpacking With a Hammock
I had rotator cuff surgery in Feb, still not allowed to hike yet. Hope to soon! I live for everyone’s videos and dream for the next time. Hi to Runner!
Will do. I you have a speedy recovery.
Good video, I love my hammock. Thanks and take care.
Thank you for watching and comment Quinn The Eskimo. I always appreciate it.
I couldn't afferd ta buy frum the makers of 3/4 length underquilts,so I took a cheap fullsize frum the amazon,cut it ta the length I wanted,used all the extra insulation ta extra stuff the quilt.werks likea champ.just food fer thought fer the other watchers..
Thank you Ahilbilyrednekopinion for sharing that. Soon, synthetic material is going to make a big splash in the under quilt word. Cut cost more than half.
Great video man. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you sir. It is always good to hear from you Andreas. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing them.
Excellent video as always, helpful information with examples and explanations.
I enjoy watching it and getting educated.
as a beginner I'm considering buying the full length underquilt once I decide what is good for me.
Thank you sir for all your knowledge that you share with us:)
Some one starting out. I would recommend a full length under quilt. Please let me know how your setup is working for you when you take out in the great outdoors. And thank you for watching and your kind comments.
Thanks fornthe video. When i was a kid i learned that if your head and feet are warm, the rest of you will be. Looking for an inexpensive full lenght for a double hammock right now to try camping this winter
My son bought a Hammock Gear economy under quilt a few months ago. He used it in the video " Winters last grip ." He said it work really well for him. Kept him toasty warm.
Please keep me updated on what you have decided night23fox.
This sure helps out i just started hammock camping and only been out twice and used my sleeping pad worked awesome, i had got in this under quilt program to test out so i got a 3/4 underquilt as it doesn't get that cold here in California. Well some spots but i think it will be perfect thanks for the great video
The 3/4 length under quilt will be prefect where you live. What degree under quilt did you get?
@@AdventureswiththeMarine its rated at °50 it should be good enough as i dont really winter camp and i used a down mummy bag as a top quilt i got from my neighbor that was a freebie 👍
Thank you for the video. Been spending so much time debating on 3/4 or full quilt for my first one. Plan on 3 season to start her in PA.
I would much rather have a 3/4 length under quilt than a full length. But remember that you have to always adjust it every time you get out and back in. And keep the shock cord over the feet. For 3 seasons, they are the best. If you want to add a little more down in. It is put in the core area. Not wasted in the areas, where it's not being used. They are lighter. Smaller in size to pack. Plus. In the future you want to buy a full length for winter. You put that 3/4 length over the full length. Now you will be warm in extreme cold temperatures. You will be able to attend the Minnesota frozen Butt Hang. Not worrying what the temps are going to be.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Grey Camden instablaster :)
@Judah Keith I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Judah Keith it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
Great insight.
Thank you sir. I hope all is well with you Remy.
I’m using the 3/4 Phoenix, it runs from my shoulder to my ankles. 40 degree with 2oz overfill.
How do you like it and how low of a temperature have you got down to?
Backpacking With a Hammock Only down to around 41. Slept great, 40 degree Burrow with 2oz overfill for the top. I did a HF camp in NC the other month. Going to hit up the mountains in N.C. soon. Looking for a short weekend trip.
@@DaMadMardigan I also have a 40 degree Phoenix and Burrow with 2 extra ounces of down. I will be on the Superior Hiking Trail on Thursday for a long weekend. I am debating to either bring the 40 or 20 degree Phoenix.Have a great time in the Mountains.
What do u do about the calf ridges from the hammock creating a gap between the UQ and hammock? This issue has stopped me from hammock camping.
You bring your leg up and drive the fabric all the way with your heel. That will remove the calf ridge. But once you start moving around in the hammock. It will come back. Otherwise put a small pad or some piece of clothing under your calf. Thank you Hajmeddig for watching. I really appreciate it.
More fantastic information, thank you for sharing your expertise. I plan to purchase a Thermarest sit pad (like the idea of equipment that has multiple functions) and quilt hooks.
Your last video covered tree straps and I purchased Danny's straps (based on your review) and never plan to use those old daisy-chain straps of mine again (heavier, not as adjustable and harder to use than Danny's), thanks so much for that info.
Someone else inquired about Superior Gear hammocks and I also wondered what your thoughts were about integrated insulated hammocks? A little off subject but maybe a little less adjusting when you get up 2 or 3 times during the night). Pros/cons or maybe you haven't had a chance to really test them. This is my first year of hammocking and so far, camped in temps ranging from 94° to 12°F.
Superior hammock with the integrated underquilt works great. Last year on a winter trip. I had Runner test it out on that trip because I like a 11ft. wide hammock and he only had a 10.5 and not wide. Now has a 11ft. but not a wide hammock yet. Runner is a cold sleeper and has problems with his 3/4 length underquilt and said Danny's hammock was the warmest and did not worry about all the adjustments. When you set up the hammock. the underquilt is also is set up. There is no gaps to worry abut on windy days. Which is one of the reason I will use a underquilt protector. They would be great for the wives and also children. I am not sure if Runner bought one yet. But he said he was. We have a short trip planned for this Thursday. So i will see if he got one yet.
Thank you for always watching and your comment P Arnold-Mora. I always appreciate it.
Backpacking with a hammock. Based on your comment, I will probably purchase an integrated hammock from Danny. I have been happy with all your suggestions so far. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Can't wait to hear about your next trip on Thursday
How tall are you? Trying to guesstimate where the 3/4 would hit on my own body
I am 6ft. The 3/4 length under quilt that I use comes down to my ankles. I never use my full length ( except when the temperatures get below 0° ) because there is so much down that is being wasted in areas that are not next to my body. If you are backpacking. You are carrying that extra weight and bulk for nothing. But the downside with the 3/4 length is that you have to adjust it perfectly on you every time you get out. Then get back in. But another plus, if you want a little more down added. Then it is put in the right place where it is needed the most. The core area. Thank you for watching Caitlyn Goes Hiking. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the video! I'm looking at the Hammock Gear Phoenix and Incubator. What are your thoughts on getting the HG Incubator in a short size instead of getting the 3/4 length Phoenix? Seems like a middle ground between the 2.
I think that would be very wise. Then you can migrate the down where you need it. ( Mostly in the core area ). Please keep me informed on what you decide.
Don't the quilt hooks lock it in place when you get up?
For the partial or 3/4 length under quilt. The quilt hook works great for the shoulder side. But for the the feet end. You will want the shock cord over the feet. The quilt hooks will prevent this from happening. And that is because of the length. It works great for the full length under quilt. Thank you Sam for watching.
Do you have some other videos on top quilts and underquilts?
No, but I plan on making them soon. That for reminding me aikirunner. It is always good to hear from you.
Do you have experience with Superior Gear hammocks? They have a different approach to insulation than the attachable typical under-quilt. If you've used their design, do you like it better than the standard uq styles?
I was at his shop last month when he showed me his underquilt. I have yet to use it. It is a little different to all the other underquilt. I like how versatile it is. You can use it as a top quilt also. Jacks are Better are the only other company that I know of that has the same concept. I will be doing a video in a month or so on underquilts and the Superior Hammock Underquilt. will be in it. I would like to take it on on a trip to test it out before I do a video on it. It is always good to hear from you Lifted_Above. I hope all is well.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine That sounds fantastic, will be waiting for a video. Thanks for the kind words!
Will hammocks with UQ Hooks fix the problem of it moving around when you get up?
They will help if they are in the right places. They are more for full length under quilts. To be honest with you. I really like shifting the under quilt underneath me for the prefect fit. I have done it for so long that it is natural. When I am in a full length. I will catch myself reaching over to adjust. Thank you for watching Brian Backpacking and Bushcraft.
So I guess if you have a bug net on makes it almost impossible to adjust. I liked the idea until you mentioned having to re adjust.
It's no problem if you have zippers on both sides. Even with a single side zipper you can pinch and reach. It's not nearly as bad a problem as it seems. I had the same concern before I got one.
You can also get hammocks with underquilt clip from dream hammock and dutchware. Those keep it in place better.
@@bumpstaggers4177 Cool! Thanks. I only have one zipper but plan on buying a new hammock. Not sure what to go with yet other than I want it with a net.
I want something lighter, any suggestions?
I'm pretty stuck on the dream hammock raven. I got 1 of the ready made ones. Mines 21oz in the stuff sack with net and continuous loops. My whoopie slings and tree straps are 3.5 oz. It's lighter than my outdoor vitals double with no net.
Razor edge level....id have to go full length...I drink a bit!!
Peace n Love People
That full length should keep you nice and secured.
