I'm testing out some new gear tonight as it is supposed to be at least 8 degrees in Central Alabama by early morning. Sporting some new baselayers and using an emergency space blanket as an underquilt. Using the relective side towards my body to see if I can go without the bulk of an underquilt. I have a 10x10 tarp that I have folded the corners on to make a full closure to keep the wind out. Testing this now because I have plans to start section hiking the AT on the Jan 24th and trying to decide if I will need more.
I have never slept out this cold before in a hammock and not planning on killing myself either. I'm staying in the backyard tonight for this. I will wuss out if need be, hehe. Hoping to make Shug proud, not like Im hanging in -40 though. Shug is a boss!!!
