HAMMOCK / ALCOHOL STOVE OPTION

INTRODUCTION

The below hammock shelter is more expensive but slightly lighter than the equivalent tent setup, that said, this option does not utilize and underquilt.

It is highly advisable that a hammocker use an underquilt in colder weather as it will be more comfortable to sleep on and a better insulator. In the past, underquilts were prohibitively expensive for beginner hammockers, but fortunately, HammockGear has designed a complete kit known as the WanderLust.

That being said, these items sometimes make for nice substitutes to the primary list if you're looking to save on weight and/or price, at the cost of quality and/or durability.
