26 people at -13*F. I must say that is quite a feat.
Great as always, being brought along.

Cool video and a great way to set up your hammock.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Add a sock.
Best,
Blaze
You do not need one, but it comes in handy since you get the same sag on the hammock each time you set it up. And you can hang stuff from it, and if on an uneasy footing you can grab the ridge and...
Shug.
Yes.
Shug, the man.
No, no.
Shug, the demigod.
Yes, yes, yes.
That was incredible.
And cold and scary.
And hard to watch from a place thus far abandoned by King Winter and with no...
Yes, less than perfect gear gear will also do.
Your the man Shug.
A great inspiration.
Best,
Blaze
I am now a bit more experienced in the use of the sock and I am still a huge proponent of its use. It is amazing how much it adds to ones comfort on a windy and cold night.
Depending on...
What a great companion you girlfriend is. And the shot with the setup of the hammocks was much appreciated.
As always, a fine report.

Tak i lige måde Jcavenagh.
Med ønske om et godt nytår,
Blaze
Yeah, the camo blends in nicely with the surroundings, though at a 50% weight increase compared to the one in olive brown....
You are welcome. Super.

Blaze
Cocoon it is and a hot one indeed. Like the layering of clothes. It took some time to get it right, for now. That is until some new stuff comes along. The never ending journey.
Best of wishes,
Blaze
Good trick there.
And by the way, I love my Traveler and only see the said ridge as part of the charm and a thing to be tweaked out of ones lay.
Best,
Blaze
Here is how Adam from HamockGear has solved the problem, not on the Speer Pod, but on the new Incubators. On the older models the gab could be closed by adding shock cords from the UQ to the...
The colder the weather the more important it becomes to avoid drafts.
Below is my line of defense through the year, though I have never gone all the way.
1) 40*UQ Inqubator + 40*TQ Burrow and...
Don’t get me wrong Billy, the PolarPod can be set like the PeaPod, I presume, and when set as I always sets it, it has what looks like a perfect set. But unlike a full length UQ it has no attachment...
Agree, even though it seems as if all the small cottage vendors are making top notch gear.
Best,
Blaze
Here is one that will not annoy you Matt, the Exped DreamWalker 650. It comes in a medium or large version. Having your feet sticking out of the bag makes for an easy entry of the hammock while in...
I know.
Was just trying to be funny.
Best of wishes,
Blaze
A happy man.
A hiking hammock videographer par excellence.
Thanks for sharing.
Once again,
Blaze
No Clark for me.
Though should come as no surprise, one more vid in league with the best.
Blaze
Great as always, though using the down sleeves as a pillow leaves you on the short end if needed on your arms or legs.
Again, as always, I enjoy your stile immensely.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Shug, I seems to have missed some of your videos, but I can assure you it is not with my good will that that has happened.
As always, one more masterpiece.
Best,
Blaze
The ridge is not a problem for me, though I can feel it. It appears when I put a full length UQ on the hammock (no more, and no less with the Speer PolarPod). I think that the Yeti is different since...
Getting ready for the winter, and in doing so thought it appropriate to do a little sharing. Hope you enjoy it.

The best money can buy. A Warbonnet tarp.
Best of wishes,
Blaze
Awesome. Great, great hike.
And I think I have figured out how the sock preformed. Because of the wind you most properly had no buildup of moisture inside the sock, and thus it worked perfect....
Thanks HuffNPuff. Enjoyed making it for you guys.
Best of wishes,
Blaze
Yes Bill, that diamond fly is what I always use when hanging at home, and it is a lovely tarp, though to heavy to bring with on a hike. As for the pee bottle, temperatures are still to high for...
Yeah, and now I would love to have the beard back seeing that winter is fast approaching. As for a sock there is some drawback to them (trapping moisture), but used in the right setting they are a...
Man, that was good coming along. Really enjoyed that. But what was the rest of your setup apart from the Traveler sock and how did the sock preform.
Well, it all might be in part two.
Thanks for...
Just thought I would share what happened when we had the first frost here where I live.

Thanks for watching,

I have two comments.
1) KISS (Keep it simple, stupid).
2) The Easy Sling says it all.
And then one more. It is not beautiful, you know, what looks right, is right, so to speak.
Best I can...
There is no doubt in my mind that one gets the best coverage with a hex cut tarp. Though in fair weather the diamond has the advantage of ease in setup with only two tie outs (can also be an...
Having slept the better part of last winter outside in my Traveler hammock without a sock, the Warbonnett Traveler Sock was an incredible improvement to my setup.
That and my Speer PolarPod are two...
Awesome place to hike. So beautiful.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Ha, ha, ha, what have I done. First OutandBack and now you. But you will love it. Real good food on the trail, that got to bee a winner.
Glad you liked the trilogy and I can promise, more will...
All top notch, and what a great hike.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Yeah, that for sure was better than morning coffee. And then having it with my morning coffee.
Perfect.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Now that Insulhammock is a work of art. Looks great. Yeah, it is either that or the Speer PolarPod.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Thanks Ron. Yeah, a buff is an essential part of the gear. I have several of them in different materials, though I prefer one made of wool.
Best,
Blaze
Now that is what I would call a wise move. Congratulation.
And such beauty and serenity.
Thanks for sharing,
Blaze
Super Heisenberg. And I got one up my sleeve, God willing.
Best,
Blaze
I have to agree with you on that. Sweden is a wonderful country with it large forests and the "Right to Roam." Hope you like part 3 too.
Best,
Blaze
Glad you like it, even though it is not a hike in the traditional sense. Anyway, hope the rest is as pleasing for you.
Best,
Blaze
I am so pleased with my full length UQ that I have given the 3/4 length UQ that I had to a friend, since it was never in use. But mind you, I do not do extended hikes where weight could be a serious...
I was a little bit afraid that I went out on a limb, so it pleases me a lot to hear that you liked it.
Best,
Blaze
Well Sky, it was a long brake from posting videos (partly because of no internet), I know, but I was fully engaged in enjoying and refining my new setup (my shed and small house). If all goes as...
Better late than never.
Guys, I have not been able to post anything on HF for the last month because of a faulty setting some where in my user CP.
It has now been fixed.
Thanks a lot for...
