    Greetings from up North

    Got a Hennessey last year in the quest of the ever lighter camping set-up, you see I already own seven tents. Everything from four seasons expedition to ultra light single wall tent and a few bivy bags, so hammock are just the next step in the quest (see addiction). Mostly get out by bike, aka bikepacking summer and winter, living up here in Yukon we get an even split of winter and what is supposed to be summer. I just graduated to a Dangerbird and two quilts to see how far I can push this ultralite camping during winter bikepacking trips. Will try to keep you posted with the results and I think it’s going to be lots of fun. Also try to get out during the work week at lease one night for SO24 (sub 24 hour outing), got a nice spot 20 minutes from my house on bike right next to a little creek, prefect hanging spot. Back home for breakfast, off to work, happy, happy.
    Its been great reading reviews and all the tips on the forum, now time to go do some haggin!

    Will post some pics of the set up as soon as the snow flies and by the look of it it might be soon.
