New to hammocking this summer. I haven't slept out below ~ 40*F so far. However, I recently received a 20*F incubator that has changed everything. A few backyard nights and I expect I'll be ready to venture north this January.
Hope to be there.
New to Hammocking but I am very familiar with outdoors MN in the winter.
Looking at the past 10 years of historical data in the Finland area, temps have reached below -40f.
Everyone going needs to make sure they have the proper gear and the knowledge on how to use it properly. As stated by stairguy, there is no bailout (hot tent/cabin) option besides going home and a lot can go wrong in deep cold.

Forecast for Friday is 20*F, but...
If this same advisory were to occur in Jan, you better hunker down!Quote:
