    I’m hoping for good fall weather for us at Yates.
    If temperatures drop below 30* and get close to 20*, you might consider adding extra insulation to your hammock
    Possibly using a zero* underquilt or even stacking a zero* and a 20* underquilt. You can use a pad and underquilt. I believe thinner and wider closed cell foam pads are better than thicker and more narrow pads. A narrow pad is not wide enough to insulate your side, shoulders, and arms. Also thick pads might make uncomfortable wrinkles while bending in three dimensions, to match curvature of your hammock.
    Hot water bottles and hot hands hand warmers can make a big difference. Toboggans, beanies, neck gaiters, and down hoods will keep your head from getting too cold.
    If all else fails, feel free to sit by our campfire and drink warm drinks#

    Tom-tom, Yooper Wisdom?, maker of Yooper stoves, makes a Fancee Feest clone using carbon felt wicking. Not sure of name of different models or even if he is still in business.
    Hickery and me both have the Yooper stove, Hickery used in his latest win.
    Diameter of base 3 and a half inches
    Diameter of burner top about 3 inches
    Height of base 1 and 1/4 inches
    Height of burner 2 and 1/4 inches
    He uses two separate food cans nested one in the other with carbon felt wedged in between for wick.
    I’ll see if I can find info on Yooper Stoves

    Phantom, lost contact information for Yooper Stoves

    I like that size stove, for my oversized mug. It’s easier to balance or center 1400SnowPeak on it rather than smaller standard size Fancee Feest stove by Zelph
    Zelph makes great stoves. He uses fiberglass wicking, I think it’s better than carbon felt. And, for a more regular sized mug, the Zelph Fancee Feest is great.

    Phantom, I found a bank of stuff cord that will do well to demonstrate to you the button knot. It is not hollow braid so I won't be able to show the finished bury but that is the easy part.
    A day camping in the rain is better than a good day at work,

    tsshaw78 is too hard to say on the trail - Just call me Shaw.

    Shaw, thank you so much. It will be great learning button knot from you. Same knot Jeff Myers of Myers Tech ties on his creations. Also Anne Marie of Autumn Ultralight ties for her creations.
    If I fail to learn, I fail to grow...
    Growing gut don’t count for extra credit, it should, on account of my prodigious efforts!

    Shug, do you have an online store? Your photo prints are WOW! I’m wanting to get a couple different Hickery Brothers t-shirts. Are they available online? Possibly you can show a link for us hammock campers to buy t-shirts and or photo prints.
    Otherwise, I’ll have to make a side bet with Hickery on “Purdy Boil” and win the shirt off his back. Shug, I’m gonna smoke him this year—garnaUteed!

    Shug all of us are blessed by you, we are impressed and thankful!

    Just saw your link on your post above.
    Phantom, ever observant, just a bit slow, probably vaporlock?
