    I was pretty comfortable until I got up at 3 AM to make some yellow snow. After that my feet never fully recovered. I added a pair socks that I had under my top quilt and put my therm-a-rest seat pad in the footbox of the quilt (something I saw in a Shug video). They warmed somewhat after that, but never got to the original comfy temp. I was using an HG 0° Burrow and 0° Incubator w/1oz. overstuff. My under quilt seemed to be cinched up snug to the hammock, but it's hard to check the foot end by yourself. I see more insulating material in my future attempts at negative temps - I'm just not sure what that'll consist of (any suggestions are appreciated). Sorry for the thread hijack. I'm looking forward to meeting more hangers this weekend

    I think I'm going to plan to join the group at least to chat. I never signed up even to get on the list.

    So I may just day hike with my dog, then stop over to chat by the fire maybe.

    I got a notice that a couple spots opened up.

    I went online and confirmed my spot and it looks like there is another one open.

    I went ahead and signed up today. I got the same message also. It seems as though if you aren't on the list with gmo your not even allowed to stop by the event and say hi. That is a real bummer. So I guess it's wait and see if I am accepted off the waiting list.

    Quite the BUMMER....I can't even stop by and say hi!!

    Billio,


    I signed up and registered. I gave me some tickets and mentioned nothing about a waiting list. So I guess I'm good to go, now to scramble and grab everything for tomorrow, I should be good.

    Hello @Billio ! I'm Mike Henry, the guy who was in the hammock just down the hill from you. My brother in law and I spoke to you this morning. I really like your setup and will use some of the things you were doing. I'm a last minute person with all the things I have going but in two years I'll be able to actually spend some time on things before running out the door.

    I hope to see you out in the woods!

    This was a great event. Enjoyed to food, conversation and the camaraderie. I'm glad a spot opened and I was able to attend.

    It was great meeting everyone yesterday.

    The forecast said it was supposed to get down to 12 around 4am this morning. It was certainly in the teens and my coldest hang to date.

    The food was amazing and I was very impressed with the cooks. I will need to upgrade my game for next year.

    My New-to-me hammock did quite well although I can't wait to get a nice TQ to go with my HG Incubator.

    Yep! This was this 6th they've had.

    I'm interested in getting some people together mid to late April for another hang.

    If anyone has recommendations around the Dayton area, I'm all for it!
