    another newbie intro

    Hi all, this is mike. some might recognize the name, but I figure here is the best place to chat about hangin' since the other places only briefly mention it on occasion. (as if its not THE thing to do!)
    anyway, im in Phoenix area and Im trying to gather all the right gear so I can hang all year. I just got an underquilt for my top-loader, and Im going outside to test it tonight! Looks like rain with a low of 40ish.

    Hi Mike, welcome. I'm also in the Phoenix area. Good to see another local in the forum. So far I'm the only hanger in my group of hikers, but I'm working to convert them. Their resolve is weakening every time they see how comfy I am sleeping.
