Super Cold Hang in Saranac Lake NY

[feuer]

It was cold, no doubt. It didn't matter what kind of rig you were in, on or above the ground.

But I surely have new respect for what a hammock is capable of after seeing Mike and Festus out in those temps.

They both pitched at moderate heights from what I could tell, so given the terrain, and even higher breezes I think they would have been good to go at even colder ambient or windchill temps.

The frozen ground was not compliant at all for me as a ground dweller, and I found myself envious of even a repeatable sleeping position, let alone a comfortable one.

Good stuff, and fun times.

Every time I look at this thread I kick myself for not going. It just wasn't in the cards....

Next time!

Glad you all had fun and nobody got frostbite!

Being originally from Watertown, NY it took me back to those fun times in deep snow when I was growing up.
Post some more pics if you got some.
My sister still lives up there, so who knows, I might one day get to meet some of you.
Looks like ya'll had a good time.
