    First hang and a winter one too

    Just had my very first hang . After a 2 hour snowshoe trip in I had everything set up by 2pm. 28 degrees with a little wind. I set up on the edge of a cliff for the view. After 20 minutes of my hammock looking like a sail, I decided to go into the woods like everyone online said to do in the first place. I bought everything from ENO including the bottom quilt and house fly tarp and wished they came with some basic instructions. I got a lot of info from here but not quite enough. Went to bed @ 8:30 and by 10 pm my head was in the middle of the hammock and my feet were sticking out of the end of my hammock lol. Sure wish I paid more attention on here. Got up and adjusted the height and leveled everything out and was much better. It was 0 by midnight and I was toasty warm in my military 2 part sleeping system. After my initial mistakes, I learned a lot and had a fantastic first hammock expirence. For me the worst part was putting on the frozen boots in the morning. So glad I decided to start doing this. Looking forward to many for nights. Thanks for listening. Now on to youtube to learn some knots.

    Yip, sounds like a normal winter camp out. Everybody dreads getting out of the warm bed in the morning and into the cold boots. But after the 11th or 12th coffee and eggs and sausage it all comes together.
    Personally, I'm building a winter hut with a woodstove to hang in next winter.
