Winter Backpacking with Homemade Hammock Sock

[@tleb8111]

That's a great idea! I love hammock camping in winter or cooler months. Thanks for sharing your idea with everyone.

The shoe rack is genius; I really like your innovations. Obviously why you're so sprightly as an active senior. Just like a large pupating bug in a very warm rug. I use a large tarp over my hammock and tents, I live in the UK, North West England, we get a lot of rain and snow in the Pennine Hills. Stealthy? 6 people walked within a yard of me and didn't even notice. Sgt. McKay would've be proud of me. You truly are a happy camper and that says a lot and draws in new people to learn the wonder of the great outdoors.

I love cold weather camping (below freezing) no bugs

[@badhat3051]

darn I didn't get a notification on this... Good video Ken GREAT TIP TOO!!!

[@bighoss7603]

Such a great idea!

What's the point of the frost blanket? Wouldn't a regular tarp be a better choice?

[@KennethKramm]

Frost blanket is light weight, breathable and raises the temp

[@alzathoth]

@@KennethKramm so what about a reflectix/ SOL type bivy? Like an emergency space blanket bivy?

[@gdomeier]

The frost blanket in an interesting idea. Which one did you use?

[@howdydoody30204b]

Great idea! Thanks. How much of the 12' did you zip? Also, how much did the completed sock weigh?

[@KennethKramm]

7'

[@MarcMkKoy00]

@@KennethKramm I got a 10.5x12 frost blanket and 7' zipper. If you zip only 7' out of 12, how do you seal the rest? Do you trim down the blanket at all? I seem to have a lot of blanket with the 10.5' around the hammock, although if I put up my rainfly I could probably attach the top part of the sock to the line between trees. I was thinking of using another zipper, or just use a run of Velcro at either end with the zipper centered for ingress/egress. Do you have a diagram showing the dimensions and where the zipper is placed for best effect? Thanks!

[@JeremyWeiss]

@@MarcMkKoy00 I'm also wondering the same thing. How did you seal the rest?

[@ObamaoZedong]

@@JeremyWeiss duct tape?

[@JeremyWeiss]

I_Dont_Eat_My_Friends I made one , and just sewed it

[@cinmay2000]

Ken, how do I use a large sleeping bag as an under/over quilt? Do I cut a hole in the end?

[@KennethKramm]

cinmay2000 great question. I use a hammock that can be unzipped from both ends. Several brands are made this way... easily purchased at stores such as Academy.
