Greetings from Louisville, KY

Greetings all!

I spent a freezing night in a tent a few months back, and went looking for winter camping tips. Found a YouTube video from a guy camping in -40 (Hi Shug), which I thought was insane. And then discovered he was doing it in a hammock, too. Wow, mind blown.

I already had an ENO DN, just for hanging up at camp. So I've added one of my blue utility tarps and some paracord for a ridge line, and I've hung a couple overnight in my backyard a couple of times since then.

Experimentation is still under way, but I am encouraged thus far.

I set up my hammock last weekend, and a tent for my wife. I've put the hammock up twice and the tent up many times, but the hammock was up in half the time as the tent, and I slept warmer than my wife did.

Welcome,

There is a wealth of information on this site. As you have already found Shug, you know he is a fountain of continual information. Hope to see you on the trail.

Welcome ... from right down the road ... Nashville. I was out in 8 degree weather about 3 weekends ago in my hammock in the Big South Fork NRRA. Snug as a bug in a rug!

Welcome, I'm from Louisville as well. Glad to see you here. Someone was discussing a Louisville group hang here if you are interested. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ouisville-Hang

Hopefully this cold weather is on the way out. I think not for awhile though.
