Welcome from the U.P.!
Thanks for posting pix LT!
Wow, good catch Kaycee!
Hey, its a SECRET!
What's the use of having all this expensive gear if you're not going to use it?
He's pitbull.

Seven of us crazy fellers from 4 different states got together for some backwoods winter camping in Upper Michigan on valentine's weekend ( don't ask what we had to do to get away from the wives /...
Welcome from the U.P.!
Welcome from the U.P.!
3 nights, 10 guys, too much food. What an awesome hang! Great group of guys, we had a blast. I just wish I got a pic of all the knives and sheaths, there was an impressive collection there! ...
Ok, thank you. I'll have a black Subaru Impreza sport wagon.
I think I'm going on Thursday, what time do people plan on being there so I don't drive past the parking area?
Ok ok ok, I'm in. I was hoping to go to the Ludington hang, but a lack of snowplowing ($) says that's too far. Weather looks good, plan on being there Friday.
I've had their 0*F quilts down to -10*F with regular socks, insulated nylon pants, and a t-shirt. And I was toasty warm. I sleep under the covers, so at 5'10" I went with a 7 foot top quilt to...
I have to bow out. We haven't had much snow up here either, and plowing it is my winter income. I'm going to start grooming snowmobile trails for more income, instead of doing the Heikki Lunta...
This guy wants to sell his tarp, clear sky and bright moon he could have read a book at night. He wants to get the camo, which I have.
...
Isn't that down awesome?! Just when you think you don't need anything else, I want to try a bridge hammock. Which will then mean an Ambush..
It's a retirement community. Shug is the Mayor, BBQ Master, MC. Dutch is the maintenance man. Fronkey is the activities director. Law Dog (retired) is the head of security (not that any is...

Thanks for sharing. Guys peeing in the background, classic camp life!
Thanks for sharing guys!
Thanks guys. At least with doors, you have options.
Record for me by 1 degree, not even close for Lone Tracker or Snipen. Shug has a video where he and another guy hit L.L. on the thermometer, which is -40*f. I sleep with my head under the covers,...
The four of us Yoopers ( Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.P., = Yooper), current and former, got together this past weekend for maybe the first ever Yooper hang. I don't think I heard "You betcha"...
Special Edition Winter (SEW) is sweet!
Thanks guys. Shug had a small hole in one of his gloves, which caused frost nip.
Those biners are slippery with gloves on! I used some small ones for the doors on my tarp. I use the big Camp USA ones for my straps. TINY Dutch Fleas for the guy lines. Wasp on CRL. Thanks for...
I think I'll bring the truck and plow. Screw 46 mpg! Thanks for the reconn, Shroud.
I'm planning on being there around noon Friday. Trying to decide if I take the black Subaru or plow truck. I COULD leave the plow on...
...
The easy part is the sleeping. That's the reward. The hard part is acquiring the gear, and set up / tear down in those temps. I worked almost 30 hours to get just the top quilt. I'd like Shug to...
Last night I stayed out behind my house, testing gear. I didn't mean to, but I beat my low record of -6*F. Forecast was -2*F. I had on insulated nylon pants, a t-shirt, regular socks. My...
Forecast of -6* Friday night. Wind 10-15. Sounds like we have a good leader!
Might be too warm, 3 season. I slept out last night, 0* top and under quilts, temp only got down to 18*, I had on a t-shirt and insulated nylon pants, and was toasty. Keep in mind that UGQ are...
So far, I'm in.
-6F last winter in my backyard. Claytor jungle hammock, 0* UGQ uq, -10* military mummy bag, winter tarp, UnderArmor HEAT shirt, medium long underwear and jogging pants, heavy wool socks, ...
I know the problem. There is suppose to be a warning label about this, the Smurfs must have forgot to sew one on yours. Send it back, they'll be glad to fix the "problem". Or you could go to...
100% wool Boreal shirt, Mountain Smith saddle bags for my dog, a bunch of Packit Gourmet, and soon receiving a multicam uq protector from 2QZQ. And some nice socks, gloves, hats.
Do locals know this takes place, or are they going to be scratching their heads trying to figure out what FBH 15 means? "I got it, Frozen Beaver Hunt!" A few weeks ago when a few of us were...
After the General Store, pic below, turn left on Hefflefinger Rd, there is a bar on the corner. Follow road to the turn around, a couple miles.

Well look who came out of the woods! I'm interested, where at?

Nice! I like the hammock and the UQ.
VineyGirl, this happened LAST weekend.
Good to hear you got in touch. Plans are useless, planning is essential.
