Hope you enjoy!

The last obstacle in my trip. The heavy layers of ice that I had to chip off my wheels and suspension in a gas station parking lot laying on my back using the window scrubber and squeegee...

Roasting PBR over the fire on Sunday. Nothing like freshly campfire melted PBR. :lol:

Cody is here enjoying his dog tent from REI, lifted off the ground with a dog-cot and filled with warm wull blankets and Mike's jacket.

Here is the camp site Saturday. Rear has been covered with tarps, floor and roof as well. I used the crappy ENO tarp as framework to lay the heavier blue tarp over the top. (Mike and Ryan enjoying...

Hello all,

It has been awhile since my last posting. What can I say, I hope that I didn't leave anybody hanging about my trip to Manistee NF in MI.

Hi all,

We survived our recent quest this past weekend. We went through good times, and difficult times. I'll be sure to update with photos and stories as soon as I can.

Official Low Temp:...

Haha, well everyone, my thread has officially turned into a lecture on the conditions of this trip. That wasn't my goal. Thank you all for your concern.

I would suggest placing a hook or two on the ceiling above your hammock so that you can lift it up and hang it closer to the ceiling while not in use and free up the little space that it was taking...

Good luck on your trip, where are you going...

Yes, its the doublenest. ..and no, my girlfriend isn't coming, she thinks I'm nuts camping when its this cold. :lol:

I'm planning on just using my 15 Deg kelty bag with a closed cell foam pad (or 2) underneath me with a heavy wool blanket on top. Feeling pretty confident that it will do the trick, especially being...

Nice! Did you use an under-quilt for your trip?

Geez, less than a week on the forums and I've already trashed my slapstrap pro's and ordered a whoopie sling and tree hugger set-up. You guys are going to be bad for my wallet...

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

:D That's a good one! I suppose it all depends on how I do out there in 2 weeks... I'll be sure to put up a couple pictures for proof ;)

Hello guys and gals,

I don't think my girlfriend had any idea the new venture she would be putting me into by picking me up a doublenest ENO for Christmas...

I think she figured it out...
