ViDEO: -19.8º Night on Minnesta Cold-Butt Hang

[garethw]

Blimey -28°C (in our flavour...) that's mega hard core Shug!! I did a fishing trip last week to -6°C and that was cold enough for me.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been out in -28°C.... not even at 2000m in the Alps.
Respect!!

Ah those temps make me miss Alaska! Really like your set up around the fire. Never seen anything like that.
Looking forward to my first group hang it looked fun.

Got to spend some time in Alaska but never got to don a pack and hit the woods.

I was just thinking about you today as i was pulling my pulk along. I thought haven't heard much from Shug in a while . Glad you and all the other feller's got out. That is some cold. I haven't seen that kind of cold in a very long time. That's ok with me. And so little snow there. Mac came up all that way,,,that's a trooper.

New Years goal....a bit less internet/computer time. Won't last. Cyber friends are always there!

Looks like a blast and a good group got out there. I wish I was there. I think I have me sleep system dialed in for sub zero, but 10F is my personal best.

I'm working in Canada now, and I too have discovered a new found love for those Cofee Crisps. Great for cold eats before bed, no teeth chiping is a good thing!

I'm looking foreword to every one else's reperts. The best thing about getting out there is being out there. Lots of stories to tell and ideas to be shared. Good stuff. Thanks!

Yes...the Coffee Crisp is glory!

Now that’s cold. Reminds me of my days at the University of Minnesota.

So what your view on the Cuben tarp and its abilities in cold temperature’s? I do not own a tarp yet and am thinking of the Cuben tarp as a good all around tarp.

Are your seams taped? And if so how did they hold up?

The tarp did not get brittle at all. Stayed supple. Time will tell and I need a load of snow on it big time.

I’m still not ready for cold temps! Definitely not −17*!! It’s 24* in my backyard atm and I’m toasty warm in my ‘mock (in my family room, where it’s 68* hehe) Soon as I get the dough for a quality UQ/TQ/bag set up I may be interested in coming to visit y’all! Maybe in a winter or two…

Does the Shug ever put out a bad video? I think not! Thank you!

Right good on the gearing up. Minnesota winters are a good challenge.
Thanks on the videos.....I try.

I will say that to be in the hammock all wrapped in down and WARM is such a good feeling. Getting out and up in the morning is not))))))) Fun though and the company was stellar.

Another good one! Thanks! Interesting you picked up 2 deg just by pitching a box over you (closed ends on the tarp. I wonder how much the temp increased with the parachute roof. Micro climates are an art of their own.

[bloomgorge]

[Boothill]

Yessir...and slept in porch mode all night.

Karl says the cold is cruel and ain't no count))))) I reckon. good to meet you Jesse.

They did good.....I has three pair of socks on. The fire helped a lot. but if toes start to chill a short walk seems to cure that.

great video shug, thanks for sharing, looks like you guys had a great time

Right to the soul it seems to go. Makes me able to get out of the down covered hammock.

I was shivering just watching. Y'all are real troopers though and I'm sure a good time was had by all.

I thought about that night out all weekend.....t'were a fun one for sure.

That video even looked cold. Looked like those guys were having too much fun to notice it was cold.
