Thanks Klauss!

Nice job, looking forward to more.

iMovie seems to be all the rage tonight...

but seriously good looking spot, glad you were warm...

any insights you would share for other first nighters???

It sure did look like a nice place for a first ever hand! The pine trees and all the little leaves on the ground made for a really nice campsite! May it be the first of many, Wood!

Well, i've got to be honest. It was all good until about 5am. The temps dipped to about 35 F. I finished off in the warm truck. I've got to get a good top quilt and under quilt if i'm gonna hang below 45 F!

Brute, I would advise other first nighters to do their research before heading out. Watch the tonsof videos available by Shug & others and read "The Ultimate Hang".

Nice editing Wood. iMovie does a great job.
Hopefully your next trip will be warm and comfortable.

Excellent advice. I'm looking forward to some trip report videos. The trailer looks great.

That was exciting. I cant wait for the sequel. What did you use for bottom insulation?
I wrapped up in a sleeping bag when I first started hanging -harder than you think- then I made an underquilt and topquilt using Kmart down pillows. BIG difference I tell ya!
Shug's videos are all you need to get started. Then you begin the journey of learning while you actually get out there and do it. That is where the real education begins LOL.

I used a Walmart sleeipng bag, zipped all the way up, and a 1" inflatable full length sleeping pad from Academy.
