VIDEO: Hammock Pod in -17º...some stoves & netti pot

[Bunk]

Ha ha ha! Loved your new video Shug! I believe I watched the last 2 min about half a dozen times...I was fascinated and grossed out...just couldn't look away!

Also, loved the frost shield idea, that stove looked pretty neat, and I want me a Foster's mug...time for a new DIY project!

Thanks for the info and laughs!

Only on Hammock Forum would people watch a grown man blow mucus out of his nostrils for entertainment.
But then we're also watching a grown man sleep outside in minus 17 degree cold just for the fun of it.
We are indeed a strange lot.
Rock On Shug Daddy...... The Snot Master

Shug, you're a crazy man!!!
The wife must also be crazy to let you do all that stuff!

I get a lot of head shakes and eye-rolling! She is very used to me.....

Finally got to watch this vid....MY GOD MAN you are out of conrol....all was good, typical excellent Shug educational vid of hammocking and staying warm, then to watch that fluid run out of your nose! You need help, quickly! Haldol? Geodon?
OK on the serious side I cracked several ribs

Yes ....haldol please!!!!!
I love ribs.....

Your a better man that I am Shug. I would hve just looked out the window of my nice warm house and whimpered like a little girl at the thought of going out in that kind of cold.

Of course I am a southern boy. I was 35 before I realized that ice was frozen water. "You mean water can FREEZE!!??"

Texas heat is murder on me!

You warned us but I wasn't ready. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt watching the netty pot scene! Thanks for doing what you do!

I love when folks hurt at my exploits. Fun for me to do these and continue to earn.

I would have loved to go.
If You or one of the other Northern ones would have went, you could have stayed here after the first 12 hr drive, and I would have been glad to drive the second 12 to NC.
I just don't like talking to myself for 12 straight hours, But I have before.
I will be watching for their reports.

You'll have to join Hickery and I on the SHT here sometime......
I took your advise on those MRE meals ....easy. Enchiladas are good.

I have never in my life seen anyone use a netti pot. That was hilarious, but I cannot see how you did not drown. I thought you were just going to let steam go up your nose.

It is getting down into the 20's here in Louisiana. That is serious cold down here! I put booties on the chickens.

Not really.

I want to see some booted chickens!

I thought everyone had netti pots......
The foster mug is my favorite coffee cup.

Another Great Video. I'm amazed at how low you guys can get with the hammocks. Last year I got down to 3*F and that was some serious cold to me. I bet that you could spit ice at that temp.

Looks like you're wearing a neoprene mask now... new item to the cold arsenal? I switched to a mask this year as well due to the balaclava retaining too much moisture over my face and to get more comfort without breathing obstruction.

Anyway great vid again.... Now I'm going to show the netti pot scene to my Fiance' and watch her gag LOL

Seems to be a common theme developing here...see what you started SuperT? Hope you are proud of yourself.

It is actually just a fleece mask that I have had for years. Always with me on the winter jaunts. Way more comfortable on my face than my neo mask.
I am so glad your going to gross the Gal with the netti action!!!!!!

Man .... I love when others gross others.... my work is done!

HAhahahahahahaaa Holy c»l¤ Batman that is just to funny.

The Shug-o-naut- to go where no man has gone before.

Have never tried a netti pot. My AIR passages are screaming "don't even think about it. It ain't natural!"

Thanks for sharing the video.

Congratulations Shug on your -17 degrees hang with no cold spots! I've been waiting for this vid for a while now and man did you produce.

Like mbiraman said:

Great vid Shug. Great to have video reference of the winter systems for those of us who are slowly being brought into winter hanging.

Thanks for going over your systems so thoroughly. I learn allot from this. Haven't personally done that extreme cold winter camping ever and from a hammock to boot. Very smooth vid filming Shug, not to fast/slow or to repeatedly, while doing your gear reviews.

Looks like the frost bib is a keeper piece of equipment for now really does it’s job. Also the new alki stove of yours seemed to work real well with that low of temp and with no muss or fuss, nice.

Good way to start your vid with the MSR Stove with how to boil snow tips. "That MSR stove seems to kick some serious butt." Great cold weather clothing over view too, always take notes on your gear type and material you are using. .

Think you are dialing in your cold weather sleep system close to perfection.

Your a talented guy Shug, would like to see a vid of you using your netti pot while laying inside your hammock!!! LoL... Kidding folks, just kidding....

As always Shug thanks for sharing…

Question: Did your MSR stove fuel bottle have a pump handle on it or was that part of the fuel line hook up? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that type of stove.
