Thanks Dutch. I looked at Pa. map and that is the way I was thinking after seeing it. If it works for me with timing I would be there by 7. If not I'll catch you all next time.

I think you will find that you will gain what you need by adding the ss. set the hammock up first,then the ss and nest last. way better than a pad and no condensation issue.
The nest under the hhss will get you to the upper single digets. The NEST has to go under the ss for the best results.
Nice reports, I had a very minor condensation issue at the Pa. Ruck. The temps. were around 14 degrees. I was in my hennessy, with hhss,nest on bottom. 20 degree wm bag as a quilt. i was using a 8x10...
