    IL Winter Vortex Hang 1/29/19-1/30/19

    I’m looking to camp out for the Winter Vortex. Anyone stupid enough to join?DC075772-1C2C-4F04-AD01-5C01927DBDBB.jpeg
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    I'm guessing school has been cancelled for y'all down there so you get a cold day.

    Nick "of the Woods" and German Andy just got back from the U.P. where they hit (-20) I think.

    That wind though, man, it's hard to overcome at that temp.

    "Wind chills could be as cold as 45 to 55 degrees below zero which will be close to all-time record coldest. The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes."

    Canvas sock for the hammock and tarps to block the wind around the fire.
    Car camping so there's an easy bail out

    Might be pretty brutal if the wind chill comes in as predicted. Stay safe! Good luck and I hope the vehicles will start if needed!
