    Thumbs up My true First hang Over night (Pics)

    I had Two days off and headed to Lamoine state Park here in Maine! Saw the sunset and raise where woods meet the sea! Outstanding.
    A few issues first I had no UQ and It was cold at 3am 32 Brrrr my air pad kept slipping around and it was driving me nuts! Help From JunebugDawn kept me saying I can Thank You but over all I am hooked on it! about 5hours of good sleep after I got warm in there! I used a MSS much better after I took the pad out and added a wobbie in between the the two parts, here is a few pics!







    Breakfast beans coffee bannock and Bacon!









    Thanks for looking any idea's are welcome too ! I am hooked now! Thanks JunebugDawn!

    Looks good. I've still to do an away from home overnighter. Far too cold here to go with just a foam pad. I don't like the pad much either but can't afford a uq right now.
    Cheers,

    Looks like you had a great little camp area Mike ! Can't beat that view. Once you get your UQ you will never go back to sleeping in the dirt. No more aching back either. Next time you go out, give me a shout and I will try to meet you.

    Good to see you getting some woods time and breaking in that hammock Mike. Looks beautiful up there. Hopefully I'll being hanging around a little deeper into fall next year. We just made it into the 60s for lows the last couple of days. Getting antsy about getting out in the woods myself.

    If you can't afford an UQ think of using an SPE, segmented pad extender. Plus use double layer pad and you could go thru the winter,,,if you wanted.
