Put them here if you don't mind!!! I am very active in the Boy Scouts, so I do a lot of camping and a fair amount of backpacking. I have transitioned into hammock from tent years ago and will never look back, however cold was always something one had to know how to address and prepare for. I imagine similar issues with hunting in the saddle. In the saddle, would it go on over your jacket or under your jacket (my cold weather jacket comes about 3-5 inches below my waist)? How bad does the compression of insulation by the saddle impact the cold? How does one mitigate the effect of breezes on a cold day when you are so exposed?
In the stand, I bring a blanket with me just in case and my railing has some fabric draped around the perimeter to break up any breeze blowing. I can overcome a lot of it with layering, but how hard is it to manage layers in the saddle? I used to make fun of folks who used those chemical heaters, but after a sub freezing night in a hammock with 3 or 4 of those, I have revised my opinion, and always have several in my pack
I have a feeling there are a ton of questions that I should be asking but have not thought of so any other ideas, throw them in here!
