19 Degrees in Texas and my stuff worked

[Randy]

Randy,

That Driducks system is Awesome!

What a great idea.

Did the little ones sleep out with you too?

The kids were at "Baby Momma's" sisiters,,,,,
19 Degrees outside,was still better than the

Artic air the GF radiates........

We very rarely get this kind of weather this far south in Texas. Yesterday we got a few inches of snow in the Houston area. By the time I got home last night, 60 miles north of Houston, , the skies cleared and the temp was forecast to be @ 22 degrees.

This was my chance to try out my Hennessy Expedition, the DIY DD weather skin and that new foam pad.
Temp 19 degrees, No wind, heavy frost

Set up:
HH Expedition
Dri Duck DIY skin on bottom DIY Weather Skin
Dri Duck poncho on top
HH Hex tarp

Inside:
my new foam pad and HF Thread pad info
Standard 15* sleeping bag
2 pairs of socks and a fleece jacket
The thermometer had 19 degrees when I got out of the hammock thismorning.

I didn't use the factory HH SS, the HH foam pad, no SB, no other gear .

This set up worked very very well for me,, not one time did I get any cold spots, and I stayed extremely comfortable all night.

For Ya'll Yanks 19 degrees is no big deal, but it is rare in these parts.

I had frost on both sides of the Hex tarp, and all over the DD poncho on top.
Inside (the sleeping bag) dry and warm!!!!!

I am tickled.........

Randy

This is EXACTLY the kind of reports that I am looking for! THANK YOU, keep them coming.
