First freezing hang

[Theosus]

you can learn a lot on your first cold weather hang.

I learned about drafts getting in between the UQ and hammock..... still struggle with it now and then, but, by the next time I'm in the cold I should have it dialed in.

I didn't know about UQs when I started. I hung my hammock, threw in my 20* bag. The guy leading the group I was with said, "where's your pad or UQ?" I was thinking, what? I got down to 40... I stuffed everything I had between me and the bottom of the hammock, and froze my butt off. I was never so glad to see 6am. Got my UQ setup and tried again. Much nicer with a real UQ (even better than a pad!)

I had my ccf pad pop out from under me a lot during my first below freezing hang, hopefully a DL hammock will fix that.
