I'd like to make this event my first winter hang, if you all don't mind me joining you all. Lived in Alaska for 5 years, so I'm familiar with cold. Any winter gear that I might need I can rent from the local MWR for a nominal price. Would love to test out my HammockGear Winter 0 degree Incubator. I think I can get a skipulk from the MWR Center as well. I'd be able to help haul gear.

Of course your welcome to join

Gary and the rest, I will block off that weekend for another great hammocking adventure! Subject to having gear that will handle the cold. I am working on the hammock right now, not sure if I am going to buy it or make it. As for the rest well, there is always Christmas, Right!!

I have a new truck now, the Titan got killed on I5, so if someone would need a ride south, let me know.

Sorry I have not been on much, swamped with a large Kitchen remodel.
When ya get home around 11 and have not taken a day off in over two weeks you tend to be a zombie.

I am not sure where in Alaska you lived, BUT, Oregon snow tends to be wet. We live/lived in Northern B.C. the snow was dry and very different than Oregon's "white-rain". I think snow in the Northwest is beautiful, I love it, however it is wet.

You might need different gear here vs whatever part of Alaska you lived in.
Our gear needs are very different here. As is the clothing we wear.

I think if you up high enough its still nice powder.. At least it was for me on several trips last year..
