    Any one breaking the -40 degree hammock hanging record ?

    With the cold weather coming through I was interested to know if anyone has been able to break the -40 degree hammock hanging record set a few years back ?
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Yes, I can see the -40F temperatures on the internet while lying in my hammock indoors. Quite toasty thank you.

    Yes, this is a great idea! Someone please do it, lol! Maybe it’ll land you a spot on the TV and newspaper too, like it did for Shug!

    I stepped outside last night just to see what -46 felt like. I did not like it.

    I broke the -40 degree record in my Tensa stand when the foot end tie down stake came loose. I was hanging there at -50 degrees feet in the air before tacoing on the ground.

    The record is at forty below only because that is the point that modern thermometers cap out. You would have to find a special thermometer to record a lower temperature.
