    MN Frozen Butt - Safety Shakedown Trip?

    Just thought I'd throw this out there to see if there was any interest.

    I live in rural Cambridge, MN along the Rum River and thought about hosting a quick overnighter on my property for people that wanted a safe and easy way to test their gear before the FBH. Easy to bail out to the house or to your car if you wanted. If nobody is interested, then no big deal and I'll be hanging by myself

    What: FBH Shakedown trip

    Where: My place in Cambridge, MN

    When: January 2-3rd


    I am still considering this tentative until I can gauge actual interest levels. Below are some pictures of the backyard (we've got 5.5 acres so there is some room, but not all is forested).

    Thanks guys, but I'm guessing by where you live that there is no interest from you two?

    Big interest. Actual chance I can make it? Slim to none. I'm still working on my setup for my climate, but have a fairly lightweight set of gear that will take me to the upper teens. Hoping to make some solid down gear over the next year and shoot for the MN-FBH '16. The challenge of it intrigues me! That and getting the chance to hang with a few of the hammock hanging celebs up north.
