    I also posted this hang on a Milwaukee camping Meetup.com group. We have one gentleman who is coming to tent camp with us. It's his first time winter camping. At this time, he has no interested in trying out hammocking.

    All right this should be a very interesting trip! My brother in law Justin along with his wife Elsy will be joining us for a winter camp experience. They too will be tenting.

    All depending on who is coming, but we should have enough extra gear to get them into hammocks

    I wont know till probably the week of the hang, my health has been horrible this year so far, but if you need some extra gear please feel free to message me and i can find a way to help you out, all i ask is that the person using my gear uses a liner in the hammock and that if they damage it they fix it or replace it!

    I put it on the calendar, I'm hopeful that my work schedule will cooperate. Also, the ice better freeze solid and stay frozen, otherwise we will have to rename it "Walking on Slush-bergs".
