    First test hang tonight

    At the moment I am doing my first test hang with my new gear. I'm in my WBBB with a 20 degree incubator and burrow. The forecast is a low of 29. All of that gear is inside my WBMJ tarp with doors. It's currently 37 and I'm toasty warm. My wife thinks crazy. ...

    But she's inside, so it doesn't matter.

    Enjoy the hang outdoors!

    5 am, 22 degrees and still cozy and warm. I woke up with a cold left shoulder, but adjusted the underquilt and the problem was solved! I will post more after breakfast.

    Excellent news!

    You're not crazy, you're wife is just extra-sane. You're just sane.

    Any photos handy?

    Ain't it sweet?! Tell your wife she can blame me. Remember when I met you at DeSoto SP to show you some hammock stuff?

    Good to see some more local hangers on here. I think my wife thinks I am a little crazy too, so don't sweat that. Maybe we are but they have their quirks too, not to mention their apparent hobbies such as.... shopping and shoe collecting. lol
