My Winter Hammock Setup!

Welcome back everyone! Do you want to enjoy the comfort of hammock camping but aren't sure how to stay warm in the cold months? If so, this video is for you! In this video I review every piece of gear included in my winter hammock setup.

All of the gear in this video is from the company Warbonnet Outdoors, with the exception of my Hennessee Hammock snakeskins and my MSR groundhog stakes. I have been using the Warbonnet Blackbird hammock as my primary sleep system for a year and half now and I absolutely love it.

Even more impressive than their hammocks are their quilts. I own three different quilts from Warbonnet. I have two Diamondback top quilts in 40 degree and 20-degree versions. I also own their Wooki under quilt in the 20-degree version, which I use year-round. In my experience, these quilts are the truest to their temperature ratings compared to any other type of insulation I've ever used in my life.

For my shelter, I use the Warbonnet Mountainfly tarp. I have used this tarp in rain, snow and winds up to 60mph and it has served me very well. It is a near full coverage tarp, extending very low to the ground and will doors on each end. I store my tarp in the Hennesse Hammock snakeskins which allow me flexibility with my tarp setup in any weather conditions. I recently upgraded my suspension system to the Warbonnet Beckett straps to get closer to a true ultralight backpacking setup.

All of my cordage and hardware also comes from Warbonnet as well. I saved over a half a pound by switching from paracord to dyneema cordage and by switching to a lighter suspension system. For a knot free tarp ridgeline, I use the Warbonnet tarp ticks to hang my tarp. I also use the Warbonnet micro carabiners to allow for a flexible door system.

As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope this video helps those of you looking to get into hammock camping or helps you to improve you existing hammock setup. Winter is one of my favorite times of the year to hike, backpack and camp, get out there and have some fun!
