How (and why!) to use a sleeping pad in a hammock

Yes, it's time to throw away your expensive underquilt for hammock camping. Just kidding! That being said I pretty much use a sleeping or camping pad almost exclusively in a hammock. Two big reasons why you might want to consider it are for cost savings and for flexibility in case you have to go to the ground. In this video I show you how to maneuver with the camping pad in the single layer hammock and how to adjust so that you get an optimal lay. THING I FORGOT: Of course, all this is slightly easier with a double layer hammock. You can just put a sleeping pad in between the layers. Some people even put velcro or rubberized sticky tabs on their hammock/sleeping pad to stop it from moving around as much.
