Hobo Off The Ground All Year Round: 8 7
consecutive months since the start, 9/2015 through 11/2022
Geez, 54? Diz and I got out this weekend for a simple overnighter to Mohican, site 4. Erratic winds and a minimum of 21.2F. No tarp and my 0F kit and I was toasty all night. Some of the best stars I've seen in Ohio in ages!

Nice! Looks like it was a nice night out.
#54 is in the books after wrapping up 5 days at our annual Green Timbers Big Tree Hang. Once again, the hot tent was worth it's weight in gold....and comfort. It sure was nice to end the evening with a warm brandy in front of the fire and have a some good perked coffee to start the day.
#2 for me, just sneaking in at the end of the month of February. Backyard hang again, with the Superfly / Ridgerunner / WM 10* sleeping bag / 20* Lynx / Spindrift combo. Ditched the 1/8" CCF pad per advice from James of LSOH. Temps moderate at 7C / 45F down to 2C / 36F.
Cloudy with a slight breeze to start, then at 0100 the wind picked up and was gusting to 40 kph / 25 mph. I was afraid my stakes that were just tamped down hard into the dense wet snowpack would give way, but they held. I was awake for an hour or so listening to the wind blow and the tarp and Spindrift flap. Then I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 0800. Very comfortable; I got on one side in the RR and just stayed there.
Tried out my new Goosefeet down socks and they were great. Looking forward to March!

Low of 18 F, with a real feel of 11 F. I cannot say enough good things about my UGQ 0 F quilt set...I was toasty warm all night, and slept like a baby.

February was a good one. Hot tent was going strong.
I'll start March out with a sleep out back with my bipod stand. Then something next weekend out in the woods.
