Test #1. 11/18/05. Hung the HH with underquilt under the deck at home. Equipment used: HH hammock,
Kelli's underquilt, REI zero degree synthetic sleeping bag, Pickup truck windshield reflector placed between the quilt and
the hammock, silver side up. Wore midweight fleece pants, and expedition weight thermal top. Light fleece balaclava.
Low temp of 30 degrees. Wind of 0-5 mph. Slept warm. Slightly less warm at my one calf - legs were pointed
in the direction of the wind. If I leaned against the upper sides of the hammock, they were cold above the underquilt
level. Future underquilts should rise higher along the sides of the hammock.

Frankenquilt lives!
Ok, so now I know why they call them frankenquilts. This thing has stuffing coming out the seams, zig zag sewing,
and little lines and fasteners everywhere. But it does seem to keep me warmer in my hennessey hammock. It will
get a try out this weekend. Photos up now under the backpacking page:
