I thought that I would test my Onesie last night in a hammock without witnesses as I am very sensitive and wanted to be able to sleep without gales of laughter keeping me awake. I also wanted to test the Klean canteen vacuum flask and my new deadfall prevention device.
Set up the hammock and bent a couple of sand stakes setting up the tarp. I still had to use rocks as I was pitched at 90 degrees to the wind and knew I was in for a cold one.
The clean canteen worked very well and the insulated cup it comes with is handy. Coffee still piping after 16 hours.
The hammock had Tier gear full length under quilt and the deadfall prevention was 30metres of 8mm cord held taught with a stick used a s a windlass. Must have worked as I am still alive.
The Onesie was brilliant; those hammockers know the wriggle getting into the hammock and then having to get out at 0230 for a p getting all cold in the process. I had a Thermartex blanket as a foot box, but did not need it. Getting up and out and back in was much easier and I was able to get back to sleep much quicker, plus I didn't loose any heat.
Difficult knowing what the real temp was last night, car showed 8 when I got into it and then dropping to minus 1.5 by 10K from where I was. There was a fairly constant wind most of the night; I will be using my Onesie for all car camping hammocks from now on. Despite the laughter.
