    ViDEO: Bitter Cold -27º Overnight with LL -10º Habanero UQ & JRB High Sierra Sniveller TQ

    Was intended to get to around -11º to -17ºF up in North Minnesota.
    Got WAY colder!!!!
    My gear all passed the test and kept me good. Of course we ate well and drank a lot of hot drinks and I walked before slumber to make sure I crawled in my netless Dutchware hammock as warm as I could be.
    Alex and Jonah were with me and it was their personal best cold out sleeping in hammocks.
    Just beautiful up there.

    Any overfill in that HSS?

    Happy to hear the Mucho Habanero passed the test. No overfill. We rate all quilts conservatively. The calculator says that one should be good to -31F.

    Nice report from the snowy woods of northern Minnesota! It's always good to get out in challenging conditions to play with gear. We're enjoying a cold snap here in Michigan too and I'm looking forward to getting out soon.

    Good looking trip there

    Glad you had a chance to get out

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!

    That's an awesomely frigid report! I'll never get to that low of a level for sure, but glad you all had a good time and stayed warm!
