[MedicineMan]

Shug that was primo. Very good look at the frost bib. I'm going to copy your design for our Roan adventure. You didn't mention the Thermawrap pants ?? Looks like you didn't need them but wouldn't they have been an option?
Anyway major kudos to arcticShug

Thanks MM. Looking forward to your adventure report.
I never sleep in the Thermawraps but if I get up to pee at 4 or 5am I may slip them on…then I am dressed for morning more or less. Just don't need them in the Pod System.

I watched this video in amazement, mainly because I can only IMAGINE temperatures that cold. Right on the Gulf of Mexico, it is so rare that we get temperatures below freezing, and it NEVER snows here.

Shug's videos are always good for a laugh!

Thankee…heading out soon to some much colder))))))

Mmmm that's good clean fun for the whole family! Can't watch youtube at work and I still got a few chills!

Well….fairly clean. Thanks.

Well, again HF has provided expertise. I was at my local Army/Navy store today and found this gem. My hammock is still set up in the backyard, lows in the high teens expected tonight, I will run a test - operation Rudolph. Thanks again all!

That will certainly do ya' goodly))))

Great vid as always shug.

I bow here.

Thanks for sharing SHug. Always enjoy your work. I dont think I want -14 though. Ya ll have fun at the frozen butt hang

Thankee and looking forward to the FBH. Hickery is coming….

Yes, less than perfect gear gear will also do.

A great inspiration.

You hath inspired me, Shug-O!!

I'm going to try a semi-pod'ish setup at our upcoming OR winter hang. It won't be much colder than low 20s to upper teens, but I'm still gonna give it a whirl.

Here's a link to a shot of my prep work, today.

Took very little modification. I just added two small tabs, one at the foot and one at the hood, and added shock cord tensioners (at the tabs) to keep it from sliding. The Exped Dreamwalker 450 is well suited to this mod, though I can't zip it all the way up because of how the shoulders are designed, darn it, but I think it'll do the job. And if I get real cold, I'll just switch to wearing the Exped.



Thanks for the inspiration!!

That's awesome Shug, hope to one day be as knowledgeable as you on all of this stuff. Looks like it was a warm snug night.

Super cool

Any suggestions on where I can get 2 decent (but nothing to fancy) trekking poles?

Thanks. Trekking poles can be found at any store with a camping dept. Walmart even. I bought mine at REI.

Nice! Thanks for the video, Shug!

Y'elcome and thanks for watching.
