Eeeeek! Almost time! Almost packed! Definitely psyched!

So, I am mostly packed. I am gonna go with my AHE UQ, thats rated for 25, plus I have a reflectix mat, so, I should be good to go.
I have the same wiggys sleep system I used last year, but I am also getting a 3/4 bag (elephants foot) that I want to try out, with a bivy jacket. This is going to be my winter dayhike combo, and my car kit. The jacket is rated to like zero, the bag, 20. I will also have my Owyhee TQ rated to 25 over these, with the wiggys on standby. I am kind of test running gear, this time out
Additionally, this is the first outing with the RR, so, its gonna be like me being a newb all over again!
Make sure you pack a set of ice spikes. I will have most of it sanded but it will be slick in some areas.

Oh, good call. I actually dont have a set of creepers. Looks like I will be going to the store tonight!
I recommend the Kootuhla Microspikes. The work really well.

Soooooo sad I can't make this one
Just got a Pair of USGI mittens to try out . That would have been perfect trial
Sorry you can't make it Seahag.
Just a reminder for everyone bring ice traction devices. It will be slippery.

===> Well, I seem jinxed for this hang like every other year! Personal, medical, and mechanical issues have all combined to preclude my (our) attendance this year once again. Last year was a ball, at least! I hope to be cleared to get down to the Jersey Winter Hang in two weeks. Everyone have fun, post LOTS of pictures, and eat a ton for me!
~ Sky - at least I now have a new sewing machine and can make gear over the weekend!
Man that stinks. Sky. I was looking forward to hanging out at the campfire with you. Good luck with he issues.
