Looks like you had a great time. I like the cool cookpot setup over the fire--very creative.

Thanks for the heads-up. The snowshoes are coming along for sure.
You are right Frenchy about heading north. I think I'll go up to the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. I hear there's still some pretty good snow up there.
Looks like you're going to have fun hammocking this year. Thanks for the report and pix.
Well done write up and pix. I really appreciated the lessons learned list!
Nice write-up and pix to complement Bammacker's video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for giving us a look at some mighty pretty country. Looked like a fun trip.
Thanks for an enjoyable trip report bruciehi5. I really enjoyed your commentary and trail walking shots.
Thanks for a nice snow video Frenchy. It's nice to see some snow--this winter in ABQ has been in the 50s and 60s, too warm for winter!
Just caught your trip video--really well done! I look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another great video Shug. Glad to see the old SVEA 123 in action. I've had mine since 1969 and it's my go-to winter stove. Noisy little bugger but it throws out a lot of heat--great for...
Nice compilation--very well done. Thanks for posting, it was really enjoyable.
Thanks Shug for the timely winter tarp update. Lots of good info I'm going to use for my first winter camp out this month. Much appreciated.
Snow in Georgia would be something--really adds more challenge to hammocking.
Hi neighbor! The Parks are great this time of year for hiking. I'll be heading out there next month for the full winter experience. I just put together a snow pulk I'm itching to try out.
Got a chance to head out to the San Pedro Parks Wilderness section of the Santa Fe National Forest in NM for a few days. Temps were a warmer than expected, but that just made the trip more...
Nice write-up and photos. I can definitely related to the "jelly legs" :).
Looks like a great group hang. I really appreciated a look at the various rigs and how they were set up--always something new to learn.
Thanks for posting--looks like you guys had some fun out there. I enjoyed your bush shelter demo--it's always nice to learn something new.
Another nice video. I liked the Burning Man tent decorations--the portrait looked like it was right out of Roswell!
Thanks for posting this frenchycamp--your videos are always fun. I really enjoyed having a look at a part of the Pecos I haven't seen. On to part two.
Another terrific video Shug. I enjoyed it greatly. I like your longer format too. It gave me a chance to really get into the flow of the trip
Welcome to the forums DzDiver. My next door neighbor is 6' 7" tall and we had fun playing Goldilocks trying to find a suitable hammock for him. Although he could lay in my ENO doublenest, it was way...
My RR is the 1.1 DL version. Now that I think about it, I probably should have gone with the Whoopie option, but that's easily fixed. I just got the RR so I haven't had a chance to work with it and...
I've just received my Ridgerunner yesterday and the component weights are: Ridgerunner - 27 oz/760 g; Poles - 11.5 oz/325 g; Cover - 12 oz/340 g. The RR's weight includes the stuff sack and webbing...
I'll add another data point to the list. Ordered a Ridgerunner hammock on 8/29 and just got the shipping notice for Monday, 9/22 delivery. Not bad considering the Labor Day holiday took out a few...
Looks like a great trip with all that rock scrambling--thanks for putting this out. Look forward to seeing the rest of the trip!
Another great trip video Shug. Your camera work and editing just keeps getting better. Really digging the fog and rain--and the chin whiskers are stylin'!
Welcome Whitebear! Just got got back from a great long weekend in the Gila around Lake Roberts--beautiful country.
Just got back from a business trip last week and getting caught up with stuff now. Great video Grizz--I felt I was along the trip with you. Thanks for the gear rundown--12 lbs. base weight is...
Thanks for the peek of the Gorge--your video showed an aspect I haven't seen in other videos--mighty steep going there. Perfect music to go with it too. Appreciate going along with the "Rats"!
Another fun trip report--love that winter hang and great video. Thanks and Happy New Year!
Welcome from a fellow hanger in NM. OutandBack on this forum has a lot of experience hanging and bike packing near and above tree line. He can chime in with plenty of tips.
That really looked like a great time! Something the younger folks will remember for a long time.
Enjoyed your video. Nice mix of stills, video and music. Loved the water views!
Great write up and video! Really enjoyed them.
I like to crank my UQ up tight against my hammock to eliminate any air gaps that rob heat. Shug has a terrific series on all things hammocky and he covers UQs extensively:
...
Nicely done video. It looks like you all had a great time just "hanging out".
Nice trip report and pix. It looks like a trip you'll remember for quite a while. Thanks for taking us along.
Mmm--Spam around a cozy fire! Looks like a great trip. Thanks for a nice write up and pix.
Cold and comfy is what it's about this time of year. Looks like you've got it dialed in!
Thanks for the corrections guys!
Forgot to answer your question about the 0° Incubator loft. It seems the new HG site doesn't have the comparison charts up yet, but if I remember correctly from seeing them on the old site, the 20°...
I've got a 0°F Crowsnest UQ and a Shamu UQ that's good to about 35°F and I mix and match them as appropriate. I would think, in your case, you could take the 20° UQ to about 40ish and then use the 0°...
I'm also a cold sleeper and my 0°F Crowsnest (Phoenix) works great for 3 seasons--Spring, Fall and Winter. I often couple it with a Shamu IX UQ in winter--the extra 14 oz of the Shamu is worth it to...
Looks like a nice time in the woods--enjoyed the creek sounds. Thanks for sharing.
San Pedro Wilderness area is outside Cuba. Rt. 550 north from ABQ, then take Rt. 126 east when you get to Cuba. Follow 126 E maybe 10 miles ? to FR 70 towards San Gregorio Lake until you hit the...
It sure is. I have to thank you Shug for helping to get me back into the piney woods. In my younger days (many years ago) I used to backpack quite a bit throughout New England, but a back injury put...
Same here: Mountain Goat mesh skins for tarp, AHE Bishop bag for hammock with outside pocket for tree straps. The hammock sack is big enough for both the hammock and the Shamu UQ, which always goes...
Now that's an exciting trip! Looks like you made pretty good time getting to Stewart Lake considering it's practically straight up for most of the trail! Or feels like it anyway :). Glad the killer...
