Thanks joe!
You know, if there were a thanks on here I'd have used it hundreds of times by now.
The cupcakes were supurb!
I do much more reading here than I do posting, but that's about to change a little.
Although I went to ground this weekend(for the first time in 4 years) none of you were too harsh. Lol

Single digit is really stretching it, I'd say no for myself. Ymmv
This is at sunrise 28deg with a SS, SB, ccf foam mat, MSS intermediate bag on top of me, spandex/fleece top and bottoms and good...
I've used my SS from 65deg down to 35deg comfortably and down to 25deg with a doubled over fleece blanket added. I use the MSS bags(patrol and intermediate) as my oq according to temp. I'm going to...
Hennessy only has one size for sale anymore, and they are the xl version.
This is my HH Explorer Deluxe with the SS undercover attached, in the HH snakeskins. Fit is snug, no loose spots at all....
Welcome. I'm upstream from ya in Paulding county.
I'd be up for a group outing, but not much here other than fields and private woods. Pm me if you ever have a place and date.

I carry an extra tree-strap and biner and hang my pack from that. I use a 55gal drum liner as a pack poncho when the weather is questionable. The rest of my stuff sets on a 3x5 ground cloth(cheap...
I think the loop is the asym tie out for that side, there should be one on each. These tie outs make a diagonal lay much easier. Not sure why it's inside though.
I immediately went to whoopie...
Here ya go.

This is mine at 28 deg last weekend. I have the same setup as you, but supplemented with a doubled over fleece blanket and 1/2 length ccf pad between the uc and ocf. With my MSS intermediate bag as a...
Condor bushlore will be my next knife.

I researched and tried each, and chose the Hennessy explorer with hex tarp. It has bottom entry which is fool proof and way quicker(less bugs get in with you) to enter than the ENO setup. However I...
I had a supershelter and fleece blanket underneath with a mss patrol bag on top to 28deg last night. I was nice and toasty.
I just added whoopies to my explorer and set up is much quicker.
I'm hoping that rain will just run down the extra slack that hangs from the whoopie.
I've watched the sticky vid, and I'm considering the whoopie conv. But webbing and descender rings look like something to think about as well.
Before its all over, I'll most likely try both. I...
Thanks for the replies!
I think that I'll use them for my tarp and not the hammock. I weigh in at about 225lb and don't want to end up on the ground.
I'll just use the stock slings, line and...
Does anyone use the 1/8" to 3/8" figure 9 biner with the stock suspension line. Does the biner shred the woven outer layer of the stock line? I have a couple laying around and was thinking they would...
Seems a bivy would make an excellent vapor barrier in sub freezing temps.
The MSS was my favorite piece of gear until I bought a hammock and tarp.
I opened my new supershelter to look it over and see if I can get it back in the bag. All looks well except for the loft of the ocf pad. After 6 hrs it has remained compressed in some critical areas....
Anyone try adding a usgi poncho liner? I have several and I'm going to give it a try.
Haha.
I seem to have done the same thing.
Hello from northwest Ohio.
I've been lurking for a while, taking it all in. I finally pulled the trigger on a HH Explorer and SS that should be here Friday. Can't wait to give it the backyard trial...
