    First outing with HH

    Well, the outing was only to my backyard but fun none the less. Most of you have seen my posting of the equipment I just obtained and man, there sure is a large learning curve. Tents are one thing but the hammock a totally different animal. Although I did manage to get the hammock up, I don't think I did it correctly. I am going to have to watch the website videos a couple hundred times before I will be able to put up and take down with any proficiency. I have the 4 season insulation kit and let me tell you, I was as snug as a bug in a rug even at 42 degrees outside and talk about comfortable, wow! I did not wake up all night and my back was not even sore. The only thing is, there are sooo many pieces to this hammock and it will take up some room in my pack and quite a lot larger and heavier than my Nemo 1P BUT, I LOVE IT. Tonight I am setting up my Nemo 1P as a Bon Voyage party because I will be selling it and hated to sell it without even using it so, anyone here reading this, if your interested let me know. it will also be listed in the FS section if I can post there now.
    I also have two life times worth of fly tying materials that I would like to get rid of some.

    Congrats on the first hang.
    To pack up easier, remove the foam from the super shelter, and then wrap the rest up in the snakeskins. The super shelter, hammock, and tarp should all fit inside, as long as you have the asym tarp.
