MYOG hammock with integrated insulation

http://www.tothewoods.net/HammockCampingWarm.html

Towards the bottom of the page gives a couple of examples.

Sewing the weight supporting hammock body weakens it. You could use tape. An integrated top quilt wouldn't fit your body very well, and wouldn't allow adjustment of your sleeping position, and really not much in weight savings, if any, you would still have a top and bottom shell.

W/o the ability to sew baffles for an underquilt, you are limited to using synthetic insulation in the underquilt adding weight, and you would have to run the insulation the full width of the hammock bottom to get it to fit well.

If you use some of the lighter weight fabrics for an underquilt and smaller gauge shockcord and light weight hooks, having a separate underquilt with it's extra side of shell material, vs. being part of the hammock itelf, only adds perhaps 4 oz, and is a lot more flexible

Thanks for the feedback.
