What hammock(s) are you bringing to Mt. Rogers?

ENO single nest
MacCat Deluxe
Eno Dryfly just to hangout under
WM Summerlite
Slumberjack Extemelite 20degree bag trying to fashion it into an underquilt if possible.

Don't forget a pad, just in case.

Would a prolite 3 work?

I can't comment on the prolite 3 in a hammock. My first hammock pad for winter was the wider ccf egg crate pad from Walmart which was about $12 - $14 bucks.

Speer Hammock & PeaPod, of course

Why the pad? Don't think there will be enough trees?

Or extra insulation for small weight penalty, JIC?

OK...I've been lurking around this thread long enough. I'm aching to see and hike the Mt Rogers area and meet so many of you that have contributed to my hanging obsession. So, I think I'm going to try and make the run down from PA. I'm going to be driving my little Hyundai Accent. Great on gas and very reliable but what about pushing through possible snow at Mt Rogers? Don't want to get stuck or worse!! I'm taking off work Friday and figuring an 8 hour drive should put me be in the area by mid afternoon. How about a carpool rendevous at the entrance of MR anyone? Is this a good idea? Or not needed? Let me know. Thanks. And No, you won't see ZQ outside anytime it's below 75 deg! LOL

You know, this brings up a good point. If someone needs a hitch up the Mountain due to weather, or runs into problems with vehicles/directions, is there someone/someplace that they could contact for info? I have Grizz's # in case of emergency, but what about others? Should we get a PM list going for contact info/alternate coordinates/emergency-help? Hopefully the weather cooperates and the path up the Mt. is clear, but stuff could happen where a rental car doesn't make it to the parking area. Anyone want to volunteer contact info by PM for such an event? I will post this in the Mt. Rogers Hangout thread as well.

OK, based on this, I now have / am bringing: a (full) spare set up. So we can corrupt yet another if someone brings a tent
