Wallcreeper not just a jacket and not just a sleeping bag...

By MedicineMan Ranked #586 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags January 20, 2010

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.
