Wooooo Hoooooo!!! My Old Man Winter arrived this morning and it's all set up in the back yard with my hammock and 20-degree UQ and TQ. Supposed to be 19 tonight in Nashville. I plan to see if my system works or needs to be tweeked (not twerked!).

All I got was a call from my bank asking if my charge to wilderness was fraudulent. I as nice as I could told her to pay the nice people so I can get my Christmas goodies. I hope their being watchful over my account didn't bump me to the bottom of the list.
Okay, okay. Pics from this afternoon, before I put my hammock in.

Thank you, thank you.Takes some experimenting to get the bamboo lashings to work, but I got it.
Spent last night in my HH hammock with my DIY UQ (2" baffles, so supposedly 20-degrees) and my UGQ 20-degree Flight Jack TQ. Slept in thick long-john bottoms and top, with Buff around my neck and UGQ cap. Also used a liter Nalgene full of hot water, inside a sock. Used a sock to stuff the hole at the end of the footbox of the TQ. Also wore regular smartwool Costco socks. Used a small down pillow under my neck and head.
At 5:20 I got up because a backyard tree needed watering. It was 15 degrees on the thermometer I hug on the bamboo outside my new Old Man Winter rainfly from Wilderness Logics. Also still 15 degrees when I got up at 6:20 to come inside (the sun was coming up).
I slept comfortably with only a little shifting and adjusting the UQ during the middle of the night. There was no breeze.
Now I know I can survive at 14 degrees with my 20-degree gear and my OMW pulled to the ground and with the doors closed.

P.S. I discovered the actual low that night was 14 degrees.

I finally had a chance to play with the 12' Tadpole over the weekend. I set it up with the camo door kit and it goes really good with the brown Tadpole. It has double pullouts on each side but I did not need to use them on this trip.

OK I finely decided to get out of the hammock and take a few picts.
Ever wonder what a WL Full 15F UQ looks like with 1oz of extra down
in each of its 7 chambers?
Well wait no longer.
