So the new WBBB came in yesterday, set it up and dialed it in. Tried my first night last night with my PLUQ, too cold. It got down to 39* here last night and I bailed, CBS. Going back at it tonite, tweaked a few other things, not going to be as cool tonite, should be successful.
Good luck with your second attempt at your first hang. (don't forget you can subsitute with pads)
One of my earliest hangs - was cool much of the night but really cold by morning. Wondered what it could be since this was with my new UQ - which had slipped its moorings and slid away from underneath me and over to the right side of the hammock leaving me completely exposed! Sure enough you learn to do battle another day. Good luck tonight!
good luck eat some cheese,its good to feed the furnace when your sleeping .one of the jacks from jacks r better told me 6 ounces of cheese before bed was worth 6 hours of fuel for the body.;)
I agree in the cheese for internal kindling!Quote:

Temporarily dialed in, great night. I ended up using a synthetic sleeping bag as a "pad" and laid on top of that with a 40* synthetic bag improvising as a TQ. It only got down to 44* and I slept warm all night. I will be pulling the trigger on an 20*UQ/40*TQ combo today. I believe it will fit most of my needs, for now. Warbonnet Balck Bird show do sleep nice.

Will be another great nite tonite, temps back up will deploy PLUQ and 40* bag should be high 40's low 50's. Perfect... for now!!!!...for now because I pulled the trigger on a sweet HG Burrow and an UQ...sweet downy goodness on the way...
