    Greetings from Alaska!

    Hello all. I am an active duty Airborne Infantryman stationed up here in beautiful Alaska. I have been bitten by the hammock bug and am going full steam ahead. I have been sleeping in mine up here in the cold and using my sleeping pad at the moment. Looking forward to a very warm underquilt somewhere in the near future! The pad and a -20 down bag have gotten me down to -14 so far this year and winter has just begun.

    Welcome to HF. My brother was stationed in Anchorage when he was in the Navy--always said it was the greatest place he ever lived. Enjoy the site. And thank you for your service!
