I had a chance to finish my turtledog stand yesterday morning. It was super easy to assemble and works well for my needs. The only thing I think i will do is cut the galvanized pipe in half to make storage a little easier. Here is the completed setup with my hammock strung up.

If anyone see's anything I've done wrong or has suggestions to offer, I'm all ears. I'm gonna try several methods of keeping warm over the next week or two. I found a windshield sunshade in the trunk of my girlfriends car that I may try as a pad tonight. It's supposed to get down to 32.
That being said, after looking at the weather forecast for where I plan to go (Standing Indian loop), I think I've decided I'm just gonna lug the ole tent along. I plan to start my hike march 10th which is approaching fast. The average low temp for Standing Indian Mountain over the next week is 26 with it dropping to 17 one night. That's a little too extreme for me for my first expedition with my hammock. It's only 14 oz. so I may bring it along with my tent for lounging purposes. Thoughts?
