Supposed to be highs of 21 degrees and lows in the 12-15 degree range around Timberline.

I was going to see if you wanted some company this weekend, until I realized you plan on hanging overnight at 12 degrees! Yikes! I haven't been out that cold in a tent before, let alone a hammock.

Finally get a chance to wear my down filled leather mittens

Forecast is changing on the hour is seams.
Only thing they all agreeing on is there is snow. So i'm think its going to be a bit warmer than that especially since i'm planning to be about 2000 feet below Timberline. Either way im planning to be prepared just in case.
Might get some new snowshoes

I need to test out my New freeze/water proof camera, and Winter Quilt!
Oh and my HH UL Explorer with 2QZQ mod and over cover!
And maybe my unused winter boots

I will attempt to make it. I will show off the new UL gear I just got. 1/2 Cuben fiber UQ. Bet you don't have one and haven't seen that yet. Other tricky surprises coming with me.

Man, I have been out this game awhile. I'm back and ready to hang. I have poked in on this forum once or twice in the last 6mo. I was at the the WA winter hang last year and had a blast! I was hoping to see something about it going on this year but nothing yet. I can make it to this one for a sweet weekend in the snow and some relaxation.

My 0 degree UQ showed up today!!
Tomorrow I get my new snowshoes and an annual Sno park Pass.
And today I realized how much winter gear I have that has never been used....
Guess I was just being prepared never to be cold!

Pictures and maybe videos will be posted after the weekend.

You'll love that UQ! I get to go hike with its maker's dad this weekend.

Might I suggest, to aid in YOUR planning, a glance at the Mt Rogers Hangout planning forum. Might be helpful in figuring what to bring gear wise and fun stuff wise.

I would like to also second (3rd & forth) the caution about bringing "outside firewood" to an area. As an example, I can NOT move firewood from my area (SW Ohio) to Anywhere!* Even other areas in Ohio! Due to the emerald ash borer. Plus there are a few other "Infestations" (critter & otherwise) in my area that don't carry quite the penalty, but could soon.
*fines, possible arrest, etc.
