Just a heads-up. Mt Rogers winter hang is scheduled for the same weekend. Choices, choices, choices!!!

the wind stay pretty calm till about 3 or so in the morning. yeah, if able to go this year I will try a sock this year, but still stayed warm slept pretty good even though the tarp looked like a checkered flag going around the track in a nascar.

One good thing about RHK temps is that all precipitation will be solid.
Cold really is not the enemy, wind is, and for many dehydration...we always have a good buddy system going on too.
Excellent advice about not sweating on the climb up and the huge wind speed potential is there year around.

'ive learned this over the years if you sweat while hiking in the cold you will almost never get warmed up!So i try to take it easy while hiking not wear alot of layers a good wind shield as a base layer.

Going to try something different this year. Last couple of cold cold hangs I've enjoyed Rivendell's Insulhammock. Liking to tinker with different brands this year I'll be sporting
on the Roan the Bonefire Winter Whisper! Just got word from Bro' Bones that is almost ready to ship. Within the confines of this insulated hammock is 1.6 pounds of the white fluffy

I'd like to try it before the baptism under ice but I've got a trip to Florida and Iowa between now and then=no time for testing. So this will be complete faith in what Brother Bones has
come up with.
