over night this Saturday
I am heading to Myakka state park Saturday for an over night at the Bee Island primitive site. 5.5 miles each way. I will be using my Hennessy explorer asym, for warmth my new mss and closed cell pad. I decided to go light on food with a minimal cook kit to save space and weight.
There is no potable water out there so I will be packing 2.5 gallons. The latest report is that the wells are dry out there, rendering the hand pumps along the trail useless. Not sure I would drink that nasty water even after boiling, so no loss there lol.
Forecast calling for crisp, clear and cold. Low of 41 with a feels like temp of 29. Im excited to see if it gets colder so I can test the mss and new pad.
Has anyone in Florida been to Bee Island? Wondering if there are decent trees for the hammocks. A few blogs had pics but the trees look pretty scattered.
Anyway, wish us luck. I hope to get some nice pics and video out there.

Just have to ask....what's the MSS?
-
Sorry, military sleep system. The new ones don't weight 12 pounds and I love the options it provides for Florida weather.

Ohhhhh Thanks - It's so hard to remember all of the acronyms that everyone uses. I need a little pocket dictionary. Enjoy!
