This slot is not required in a Pack Shakedown kit. The ten loadouts still start from the same independent lists.
In a hammock, down under you crushes. An underquilt hangs below the fabric. Do not expect a sleeping pad to replace it.
Hammock Gear Incubator 20 is first: the underquilt. Hammock Gear Burrow 20 is Best Value from the same shop. UGQ Bandit is the Premium Pick: more wrap, more money, a wait.
