    TN > 2015 Higher Colder Hang - Roan Mountain - February 7-8

    Hello from MedicineMan & Poof

    It's time to start planning for the Roan Higher Colder Hang!!

    February 7-8. Plan on Friday night at Roan. Saturday target TBD...

    Last year we missed the snow storm by one week. Fingers crossed that we get snow this year!

    Who wants to join us??

    I am in ! Looking forward to more good times and fellowship! Also keeping my fingers crossed for a little more extreme weather, maybe our visit will coincide with the polar vortex this year! Open for any itinerary!

    I have tent camped on top of Roan Mt bald during a blizzard when tents where being blow away with the people in them. Fun night and on the cold side. Be careful of what you wish for and have fun.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Perhaps we can look forward to another quiet peaceful evening at Overmountain again?

    When considering your gear, be aware that most of the problems I've seen were outside of a hammock. A slight chill when you first get up and flip to hypothermia in a few minutes. It's actually pretty surprising how fast that one bout hit me. One minute I'm standing around chatting with what seemed to be a chill and ten minutes later I'm shivering uncontrollably.

    If I can acquire the extra items, which shouldn't be much, that i think i will need I would love to come on this hang. I have watched most the you tube videos from prior Roan Higher and Colder hangs and it looked like a whole lot of fun. I feel kind of like wisenber , not too worried about staying warm in the hammock as more so outside the hammock hence the a good outer layer and overshoes i will need to round up. I took what i currently have down to probably in the twenties( water froze solid) on Mt Rogers last November with no problems. I would like thoughts on hammock socks and possibly if need be double underquilts or just using a 0 degree and thermarest pad.

    Great description and warning. Last year was warm, but I still learned a lot. I am looking forward to another night or two out in the Highlands.
