Hangin' High and Dry
The night temps recently in Colorado in the past weeks are making me appreciate being able to stay warm and cozy in bed and beyond a comfort zone to even think about testing my winter set up.
Winter truly is a challenge, and my first hangs were in late fall, early winter. Learning it the hard way.
OK so the low temp showing on my multi meter was -2f and I was amazingly comfortable with the equipment listed above. I also had my hot water bottle which helped I was wearing regular socks, my under armor 3.0 base layer top and bottom (although really expensive, they work really well) and a hoodie.
The only issue was all the condensation on the inside of the weather shield. I would have opened it, but I forgot to bring a good hat. That forced me to go inside around 5:30 am, but at least I know that I would have made it if I'd had something to keep my head warm.
On a side note, I believe the snugpak tactical 4 is conservatively rated at 11f. I wasn't even slighty cold, not even a chill
I'm sure I'd don't need to go into detail about how happy I am with my hammock gear. Specificity it's a 0 degree incubator with 1 oz over stuff.
Thanks for the report.
Congrats on the sub-0 hang. Yes, that looks like a great set-up.
