[brambor]

BAM! I am amazed, envious and humbled. Thanks for the video, Shug.

Many thanks. They do make you feel alive. And just so beautiful up there.



I think sleeping out in 100º and humidity is crazy)))))))

That's why we like double layer hammocks and stuff them with ice

-40F is crazy talk! Having said that, extra, super, very well done on your personal best low score! I hope the fingy is OK. It was good to see you doing coffee from the hammy. You don't do that, or Breaky, much these days, I miss it. I find nuts are the go for stocking the fire, when I wake up a little cool at 4 or 5 in the morning. A hand full of nuts and I'm back off to sleep, as happy (and warm) as a pig in poop. Anyway, Mr Shug, my hat is off to you for your icy great achievement, you're a tuff nut! Thanks for the frosty video, it was great!

A 1000 yrs from now some archeologist will be saying that some folks stayed here cause they found gingerlites,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I knew I was missing something))))))

While your hitting a teeth chattering -40f, we're heading for a sweltering top of 40c in my neck of the woods.....
....enjoyed your super cooool video, thanks shuggidy man & strung out.

Some sweat just rolled down my back.

That's crazy cold, no doubt! Congrats to both of you for living to tell the tale. Thanks for taking us along.

Amazing you can take it dressed and mentally prepared for it. Was out for a while last night under-dressed in -8º and realized how cold could kill you quickly.

I had to add extra layers of clothing just to watch! Not my idea of fun,but I admire your sense of adventure!

We have looooong winters. Gotta get out.

Well put!! Nothing like sleeping while you are slimy.

Haaaaaa!

BAM! I am amazed, envious and humbled. Thanks for the video, Shug.

Whoooooo B-B-B-Buddy))))

Thankee Brucie. I do breakfast from the Hammock a bit more and with more leisure on solo trips. Good to hear from you way down there.

Hey Shug,

As always, another great video. You guys sure do get some amazing weather!

Question though; do you have any idea what other extreme cold outdoor enthusiasts like mountain climbers or arctic trekkers do to keep frost off of their down bags?

Awesome (yes, I said awesome!) video!

My 14 year old and I enjoy your videos. He hasn't seen this one yet...he may get a chance today while school is off. In my part of Maryland, getting 5 - 6 inches of snow is a big deal that causes panic and school closures.

Anyway, he and I were shoveling snow from the driveway last night. Temps were in the upper 20's. We had chatted about your experience earlier in the day. While we were shoveling, we talked about your CAMPING in temps that were nearly 70 colder than what we were experiencing at that moment.

Quite impressive! Glad you were warm, safe, and able to share the experience.

Thanks!

Bruce

Even before I watched the video I was thinking "Watch those digits my friend... you kinda need those"
