link please
hope this helps :D great for the at it shows temp by shelter!!!!!!!!!!!! ya I know please no standing please keep your seats thanks !!!!! really let me know what you think.
very nice ..thanks..will come in helpful when I do my section hike in April
This site is great. I was able to open using the moblie web on my cell phone. Definitly a good resource.
BTW it is a low of 16 and a high of 34 today on Springer.
that's great breeze!
good meeting you... & the pandaman too.
How many "degrees" is this from a hammock discussion?:D :D Looks like a Whiteblaze post to me:D :D
about 1/2 a degee if you are on the at in a hammonk at 5 below :p :DQuote:

thanks Breeze. Good info. Im looking into getting an ADC now since seeing Slowhikes at Wise Shelter. Anyone have any ideas? BD
i believe brunton has three models in the ADC line. mine, the "Wind", is the simplest & least expensive in the series.Quote:

i haven't taken the time to search out any reviews, but i believe it should be pretty reliable.
i like to have it hanging near the hammock (but not to close) so i can see the temp, or go back in the morn & know what it did through the night. good information to have when you want to know how your gear is preforming.
Would a thermometer factor in the wind chill if I was hung directly in the path of the wind?
I am thinking that if I hang a thermometer on the wind side of my hammock (I usually just hang from my ridgeline so that it is is below my tarp) it should be fairly accurate. Wouldn't it experience the same cooling from the wind that you would in the same place?
I know the most accurate way would be to have a thermometer out of the wind, and a wind gauge in the wind. Then use some equation to factor in the windspeed to ambient temp.
I'm no expert but I don't think the wind has anything to do with the air temperature and/or the reading on a thermometer. No matter how hard the wind is blowing the air temp is going to be the same. But if you hang a thermometer under your tarp it could be affected by your body temperature as heat leaves your body and collects under and escapes out of your tarp. I think you would have to know what the wind speed is and what the air temperature is and use a chart or formula to accurately determine the effective temperature from wind chill.Quote:

that's my understanding too. the wind doesn't change the reading of the air temp.
i made mention of not hanging it to close to my hammock just because i suspect that there could be a degree or two difference just outside the hammock that's warmed by the body inside... unless there is quite a bit of wind whisking away the warm air.
i wonder if it may not be a degree or two warmer inside the peak of the tarp on a still night too???
but if i want to get a true, uncompressed reading of the air temp in the camp, i will hang it just far enough from me to be sure it's not getting any of my body heat.
but the ACD has a fan for reading wind speed & is supposed to calculate the wind chill too. i haven't checked up on that feature very well yet.
I hang mine from the hammock support. The tether is long enough that I can pull it into the hammock to read it, then let it hang down low enough that it's not near the hammock's warmth and barely protected from the wind by the tarp.
Hey Tim - maybe that's why yours read a few degrees warmer than mine even though we were only 15' apart.
What is an ADC?

Thanks, thats pretty cool.
The first post says these are good weather links. I don't see anything to do with weather on either of them.
I like
http://www.wunderground.com
for weather info.
I've been curious, why nitrous oxcide diver as your screen name?Quote:

Not implying anything Ionic or molecular or liquid. I'm not a Chemical guru but my understanding is that NO2 is Nitrogen Dioxide and I think N2O2 would actually be Dinitrogen Dioxide. Honestly I don't even know what the correct molecular formula for Nitrox is, NxOx? but whats in a name?
I don't have a trail name yet and I have been using n2o2diver for almost 10yrs.
I thought it was something along that route. It has been a while since my chem days. I forgot some of the prefix/suffex label thingys.
thanks for the info slowhike. i will look into it. it was a nice looking piece of gear. and one can never have enough gear. BD
I'm pretty sure N2O2 is nitrous oxide. Otherwise known as laughing gas and NOS...funny that one gas can be used as an anesthetic AND as a performance booster...Quote:
