Great post...Dan and I have been out in the mid 20*s but this will be or first trip where the temps are expected to be this cold (low 10*s)...we are "pumped up" (nod of the head to GLP) to test the limits of our gear in an environment where we have a safe fall back position and the considerable expertise of this group to rely on - that is just in case we turn out to be "girly men" :D
Looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones...
Saturday seems soooo far away
i'll be there Sat morning... i got to cover for my boss on friday morning
Her cancer came back so she is getting Chemo so i'm covering for her since we are short handed
if the weather holds up i might come down Friday night but it's looking more like Sat morning
But i will be there ... to lead the Puffy Gang LOL
maybe if your all good little boys and girls i'll bring the acoustic and do an acoustic set by the fire :D
The thermometer read a whooping 7 degrees this morning. It's going to be a chilly one this weekend I am pumped up. Cant wait to freeze my Gluteus Maximus off with you all.
That's good to know. Ohoulihan and I are planning to leave one car at the camp in the morning with the bulk of our gear. I'm tossing my 20 deg bag and military winter bag in the car for just in case. I'll toss a few foam pads in the back as well. We plan to setup then head over to the Atsion parking lot and hike back to the camp. The are calling for a small accumulation of the white stuff Friday in South Jersey. I haven't heard any estimated accumulation amounts yet, guess I better throw the heavy winter boots in the care as well.
Work is ruining my social life. :cursing:
I'm sorry to have to bail out on this, but duty calls. Hopefully next time...
Noob Question here: Do you think a DIY-PLUQ, a 2QZQ UQ protector, a Blue CCF pad another Poncho Liner on top of the ccf then me on top of all that wearing thermal underwear, a knit hat, a HF buff, a pair of smart wool socks, a WW $3 Fleece Blanket and having a polyester filled sleeping bag for my TQ keep me warm in this extremely cold temps this weekend? :eek:
I gathered up all my gear and did a little DIY in the past 2 weeks after finding out about this hang. My Tarp shelter also has 2 GrizzBeaks one on either end, I also have a HH Hex Fly.
I will have some hand warmers and an extra 30* bag, and a thermal blanket I will leave in my truck if I need them later on.
Lowest temp I slept through so far was 37*
