I am wanting to upgrade my v1 XLC to a v2 XLC with winter top-cover and a underquilt protector, all in Dark Foliage Green. Does anyone have photos of any of these items so I can see in the real...

I have three sets of these. I like to have 10-12 with me so that I have a few extras.

It just flopped until morning. When I had a moment I untangled the mess.

True, it's northeastern New Mexico.

I am excited and can't wait to get out into the white stuff. I have a big trip scheduled for December, but hope to do some quick trips between now and then.

;) nice one!!

Last night I was in the most intense thunderstorm that I've ever been in - in my hammock.

This is the same storm system that brought destructive tornadoes to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and...

I would also avoid storing it in a hot place like a garage or attic, which would probably destroy the fabric over long time periods.

Does overlapping the door flaps by 1-2 inches on the tarp help any? Guessing that the snow drift is also coming from below, so that snow wall would help. Was the wind coming from primarily one...

welcome to the fun!

Good point on the tarp doors. I do that as well, and also use my bugnet in the winter which helps to keep the precip from getting in, even though it seems like over doing it.

Layering: good advice. Start out cool and add layers as you need them to avoid over-heating.

I like that - that looks cool. Have you tried it? Does it work well?

I use an 11' hammock also (XLC) and for me it is about 6-7 "strides" between the trees. Also depends on the tree diameter since over-large trees take up more suspension length.

Nice job! Looks like that should keep the rain off.

Welcome to the Forum, from northeastern Oklahoma! I love that area of Ozarks in NWA also. Souther Missouri is also beautiful - similar geography.

Discussion of several hat and headcovering options that are useful while backpacking in the winter.

Yes, thank you

I've sold the Mountain Hardware backpack and picked up a 2017 Osprey Stratos 26L. Alcohol stove works great for me.

thank you!

I might be interested.

Are you looking for a Winter (4-season) tarp, or only for warmer weather ?

I have backpacked in this area many many times and love it. It is a great place. Have yet to kayak it yet, but my son wants to, so we'll try to schedule it soon! Thanks for posting.

I agree. I sleep better in my hammock than I do in my bed.

My son and I did a winter backpacking trip to the Mark Twain National Forest. We did the Big Piney Trail loop in the Paddy Creek Wilderness area.
