Another deep cold hero another HH Super Shelter thread
OK, now that the weather is warm, I'll post this. Because I had all of this written up back in March but for some reason never got it posted. I stumbled onto the saved file and thought I had better do so. This is based on some PMs I had with CryOfTheWild. He gave me permission back then to quote him, and so I will.
This was his original reply to me:

All I had was the HHSS and over cover. no extra pads, ccf, or extra sleeping bags. I did use a space blanket and the over cover came in handy but I only had the stock Asym tarp as well. The following week I purchased the HH hex Fly from another HF member which I swear by in cold or heavy weather now. I have some videos on my youtube page from this years winter camping trips which had a lowest low of -12 with wind chill of -20 for 2 nights out of 15. Here is a link with photos from the Frozen Cheese Hang I hosted this year.

OK, that should get us started, more to follow.
