It has arrived.... I can't wait to get home and check this baby out..

Thanks... my buddy bought me a t-shirt a few years ago, on the the front it has the river name and the back has "paddle faster I hear banjos"... I thought it worked well as a username...lol.

Well.. the deciding factor for me was the weight of the Sniveller, the temp rating and if manufactured like the MW4 I purchased through JRB last year it will perform well in the coldest conditions I...

Decision has been made...now to wait for delivery of the High Sierra Sniveller.... Thanks Jack for your quick response in helping me make my decision..

Well it's that time again, looking for a TQ. I have been using a down filled Canadian military cold weather system and the weight is getting to be too much considering there are so many options for a...

For myself and again this is only my preference..I use a JRB MW along with a down filled bag as an TQ and was very comfotable at -3* C... will be heading out in Feb to test the gear down to the - 10...

If you are considering Silnylon... I found that the Wilderness Logics Old man winter (OMW) is a great tarp...

Welcome from Windsor Ontario

Should not need it unless you get down into the below 0* C temps and then I would just consider another UQ capable of the lower temps.

Welcome from Windsor Ontario

I agree with testing the gear in the conditions you will encounter to ensure you can push the 30* bag and UQ down into the 20* range.. Once you have that chill, it is hard to shake so I would push...

It has arrived....looks great, well made...can't wait to set up..

So I am new to hanging and decided I would go all in and purchase solid gear from the start.. Was done with tenting...I can assure you it was well worth every dollar, good hammock, underquilt and...

Great for my spring fly in trip, last year the water levels were down a good 1 - 2 feet. not enough snow...

Will post my thoughts on the tarp once it arrives and I have an opportunity to hang in some snow... by the looks of things it won't be snowing anytime soon.. Might need to hold off until Jan. to test...

I also have the trangia and wanted to lighten the the gear so i went with the evernew titanium set... I have used the trangia for at least 10 years as well without issue other than replace the "O"...

JRB MW4, cleared Canada Customs yesterday, should arrive early next week...can't wait..

Does the superfly have doors attached or are they add on extra cost? looks like it might be a decent option to go with the superfly.

looking for some advice on a good winter tarp? I have a HH sil hex..But the more I investigate on the forum it is becoming apparent I might need a different tarp for winter camping with some sort of...

35* F won't get you into the cold weather of winter unless you plan on converting the bag to an UQ for cool but not cold weather.

excellent plans, great detail..

Where is the Michigan Hang? I am located in Windsor Ontario...
