Who else is hanging out tonight?

Merry Christmas to me! I spent Christmas night in the hammock Low of 27 with wind chill at 14, Kennesaw, Georgia. I had the uq (KAK Lost River) with a space blanket and poncho tarp to keep the wind off the bottom. Also, had a windshield reflector up above me over the ridge line , reflecting my heat back to me...I was very warm and toasty!....Yes, that's breakfast of the Champions!

Space blanket over the ridge line....Im interested....did you have any condensation issues?

I had a space blanket between the UQ and hammock with my poncho tarp sealing out the wind from the bottom. Then on top I folded my windshield car reflector long ways and bungee it down. No condensation on either side. You can really feel that heat getting reflected back to you from the car reflector, plus it makes a wind barrier.

I haven't used this setup in the field yet, but several times in the backyard. Toasty so far!

As soon as the snow stops, I'm headed up into the Whites of NH. We're supposed to get 18-20 (4 already on the ground). I got some gear (snow shoes and a tarp) for Christmas and have a new stove I made that I want to try in the field.
