Winter hammocking

[Moff8]

I was speaking to a guy at the weekend and the conversation got onto winter camping. To cut a long story short he was saying he used a horses winter rug as I would think of an underblanket.

It already had the openings at each end was waterproof, windproof and reasonably warm.

Any one else used one of these with a hammock?

Thats a very intresting idea, Would be intrested to see how it was set up as an underblanket.
Do you know if he altered it at all? i.e. cut/ sewed it.

Not being a horsey person I know what they are but haven't got a scobbys how much they go far.

No he didn't say if he had modded it just mentioned that I should try one. Lidl were doing one for under a tenner so I am told but online they look like they can be had for about £30.

Isnt it heavy ? The rest sounds really good. Also the shape would kinda match.

The weight seems to depend on what you want. The ones that just block the wind and rain are not that heavy and roll up into a big shopping bag. I haven't seen a full winter one.

I might ask if I can borrow a mid weight one and try it in the garden.
