    I'll be getting down to -16*f this weekend. I may need to resort to sleeping on the ground though as my hammock setup isn't quite ready.

    Perhaps one of the neatest TQ's to date .. I up the size of my gear for deep cold, carabiner's are your friend. I use biners and descending rings, adds a few ozs. But takes away the fiddle factor. Did I say that was one sweet quilt ..

    Those biners are slippery with gloves on! I used some small ones for the doors on my tarp. I use the big Camp USA ones for my straps. TINY Dutch Fleas for the guy lines. Wasp on CRL. Thanks for the compliments on the Viking Shield quilt, UGQ did a great job.

    Neat trees in your backyard! Like that quilt a lot. UGQ will be getting my order soon.

    Shug- if I remember right, didn't you get frostbite that trip? Was it because of the setup or was there another time your hands were exposed for a longer period of time? I have no experience with temps that cold, but if you got it just from the setup/takedown that is fast!

    Thanks guys. Shug had a small hole in one of his gloves, which caused frost nip.
