There is a growing list of hikers/backpackers/paddlers/cyclists who are sleeping in hammocks, and doing so year around. Hammocks sleep colder than tents (bridges freeze before roads) and there are several ways to keep warm in a hammock even when its really cold out.
One way is to use UnderQuilts like those sold by Jacks R Better and they are great. Another way is to use a PeaPod sold by Speer Hammocks and they work great too. I prefer a PeaPod when I think it is going to be less than 20F, though UQs work at them temps too-it's just my preference.
This past weekend I was shown that the Wallcreeper is big enough to completely wrap around my hammmock with me in it...just like a PeaPod. So now your campwear can also be insulation for your entire hammock.
I'm a very cold sleeper so I wrapped the Wallcreeper around the hammock and then wrapped a Speer PeaPod around it! It's not often that I get hot camping out in January but this time I did.
I was so impressed with the Wallcreeper that I ordered another one. My original is the 35-38F rated model. Soon it will be joined by the 20F rated model.
Also, if you know of a product by Hilleberg, their BivAnorak then you will instantly see that combining a WallCreeper and the BivAnorak is instant shelter anywhere and shelter that you can move in if you have to or do camp chores in like cooking.
The only down side to the WallCreeper is the weight but that is even less important now that I know it has this new function of insulating my hammock completely around.

You will have to decide whether you want a tall pot or a more squat pot. If you want a 'taller' pot then there is no better one than the Snow Peak Solo. For several years I tended to keep my kitchen in an outer side pocket of the Mithril-this meant a taller pot was the way. The Snow Peak Solo has covered almost a 1000 miles of the AT with me, several hundred miles in many national parks, and been taken on too many paddle trips to remember. It still is dent free, it still heats up and cleans quickly. The fact that the cup nestles onto the bottom is a nice feature (I avoid putting anything flavored into a bladder and the cup is nice for drink mixes). I've got a Snow Peak stove but discovered alcohol stoves (I use a Brasslite) and prefer them over lugging an empty canister out. An alcohol stove, a pot gripper, mini-bic, micro scrub set, and leatherman micra all fit inside. To keep things from rattling I stuff in a water bag.
My only complaint on the Solo pot is the little triangle lifter on the lid-it is hard to pull off the lid with just it, that is using the pot gripper.
All in all a great product that, like the Brasslite stoves, should become an heirloom.

Sea kayaker for almost 20 years and with a variety of spray skits under my belt (OK over my belt!). My aging Seals spray skirt is still functional but after two years I wanted a skirt that would dry quickly and not over several days like the neoprene unit I was using. Granted neoprene skirts are warmer, my paddling conditions rarely justify its use.
The Wildwasser Pocket System Convertible Uniadjust Spray Skirt is probably what spray skits should be unless you are in rolling class or in big water that could dump rollers down your neck.
The concept of a watertight zipper allowing re-entry is a good one if your boat will support this, meaning some ocean cockpits my be so snug that you take the skirt with you as you exit-rarely a problem in the more common keyhole cockpits.
The pocket on the front of the skirt is just common sense for a sea kayaker and should be mandatory I think-its ease of use/accessibility to small essentials is quickly proven in even a short paddle.
The breathable material is certainly a plus, but the quick dry has proven more important to me...silly as it seems, I have grown to hate pulling on a wet and more often cold spray skirt in the morning while paddle camping, this issue is moot with the Wildwasser skirt reviewed here.
The UniAdjust feature reminds me of an Aquaterra spray skirt I used fifteen years ago, simple velcro tabs allow the skirt to fit the person or the circumstance, nothing radical here, just simple application of materials.
The only downside of the skirt is the cost but if your going to shell out for a kevlar boat or a three hundred dollar paddle a good spray skirt is just part of the total investment, an investment that pays dividends in comfort while on the water.
