Yes, the traffic alarm seems to get me up and moving early every time.
A layer of clothing damp and clamy against the body can quickly become either dry or frozen stiff on the ridgeline. I found that out for myself as well.
I think my wife is convinced that I'm generally nuts all the time. Her response to snow is to build a fire and stay inside, meanwhile I head out to the hammock. Guess who got a better night's sleep.
Thanks for reading, yeah we don't get temps these low nor the white stuff too often around here. Was great to get outside in it.
Yeah the cold weather has it's own conditions and gear requirement that I don't get to do much of. Has been amazing to get out in it recently.
That explains it. I usually head to the beer isle since all the other stuff is taken first.
Not to mention being prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
It is quite possible that I over boosted my metabolism before I climbed in for slumber. I'll have to monitor that closely next time. But I had identical setups for two nights with a 10 degree temperature difference and the warmer (relatively of course) of the two nights I sweated. Could mean that I just needed a little less insulation at 30F than I do at 20F.
Thanks for reading.
And as an addendum to my report I left my gear up to air/thaw/dry out and my daughter having fun in the little bit of snow left this morning found her way into the hammock.
At least there is one woman who enjoys the hammock as much as I do.
