    Backyard test tonight

    Central Alabama is finally getting a cool night, suppose to hit 42 for a low. I am going to test me setup tonight. Not cold by any stretch, but gotta at least give it a try.

    All went well, did not get cold at all. Temp got down to 45 degrees at 4am, but I did go inside....to take a leak. Decided I proved I could keep warm to the mid 40's, which I know is not a big deal to some of you cold weather guys, but I feel I could easily get down to 40 without issue with the setup last night, and if I had worn a good base layer, a few degrees lower. As for pics, I only took the one in the original post and this one.
