New Low for Just Jeff

Thanks for taking one for the team! The more I read of situations like this, the more convinced I am that hammocks are just fine for extreme winter camping (as long as it is equipped properly).

Chill

I'd much rather have a sock with a smaller tarp to offset the weight, than just a big winter tarp. Tarps with doors are a pretty good balance, though...I'll probably get a tarp with doors pretty soon, and still carry the sock.

i just wish i had two trees in my backyard that would allow me to sleep out side without having to go somewhere.

I used a Vario hammock stand...no suitable trees in my yard either.

Just got my kitchen pass to sleep in the backyard tonight.
I chicken out last nite in fear my kit was not quite ready but USPS came thru today with a new UQ and burito cover. Not quite a sock but it might keep the wind down a little.

Hope you found your face mask.

Again, NOT FAIR!
I wanna play.

**Just Jeff** · 12-31-2010, 21:10

I invited you, sick boy! Still no facemask...

Great test, Jeff! How close in function do you feel a full HHSS ( with HH Overcover) would be to your sock? I have always loved the wind(and blowing rain/mist/snow) block I get with with the UC. But I've never got around to resting the OC.
