    Headed out tonight. Supposed to be six below with a real feel of negative 27. Doubled up my Hammock Gear 0 +1 and my 20 degree set. We'll see how that works. Great thing about this is I'm only about 3 minutes from the house. Love that. Good luck to all you winter testers out there.

    Would be a better test to not double em up! Trust your downy goodness, you can always go in, or double up later.

    Yes! I always have to remember that other people are taken aback somewhat by my plans to sleep outside when it's cold.

    So jealous. Waiting for my winter gear to come in.

    -25c so far and likely another at least -26.5c/-15f again. Be the last of the deep cold for 2016 looks like so have to soak it up. The 0* and 20* quilts together are so so so so so warm.

    Be careful out there my cold weather friends. We'll likely never see temps like that in AZ. It gets cold, but anything under zero is rare.

    Went out last weekend, with I believe temps in the 20's. What I have decided it to use larger cord for the ridgeline for my winter tarp. I use Zing-it all around at the present time. I found it difficult to handle in the cold. Cuts in a bit more with dry hands.

    That's a good idea... I wonder if my 0° Incubator will work inside my Snugpak Coccon? Add in the 0+3 Burrow and I could realy go negative.
