We use the blue tarps as well untill I can outfit my entire family. Nothing wrong with using what you've got. Since it's car camping, you can bring whatever you need and even what you don't.

Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you
I will have some extra booster quilts in the form of down throws and even a TQ/UQ or two. I also have 2 extra hammocks (ENO's) and a Clark Vertex available for use if anyone is in need.
If anyone has any concerns about their ability to set up, please don't. There will be plenty of seasoned veterans who can help you get dialed in to your hammock and are excited and happy for the chance to do so.

And extra tarps. I have a couple of extra tarps. The ENO's are one link systems so they have the bug nets and tarps as well....

If it helps in deciding temp rating. My wife is a very cold sleeper and she has been more than warm enough in my 20° Hammock gear. That should also serve you well in your neck of the woods. We have an extra 30° sleeping bag if you need to supplement your TQ. Haven't gotten the whole family down top quilts yet so that really cold year I layered two 30° bags on my daughter and it worked great.

As always ya'll continue to prove how cool and welcoming of a community hammocking provides. I'm in a bit of a waiting game right now trying to find out about being able to get the time off to go, but I'm hoping to find out soon so I can get my name on that sign up sheet- I'm trying to talk a buddy or two in to making the trip so we can split up travel expense, because after doing the math I can get a whole new setup together for about what it costs me to rent a car or drive my own gas guzzler down there, so if it's possible I might as well invest that cash into more gear instead right?
Scott- After spending so much time as an adult out of the world of camping, our whole setup for even our tent car camping trips is not where it needs to be for anything to close to winter, thankfully as FloridaHanger has pointed out, it is car camping so I could really pile in the stuff like extra blankets and what not if I needed to.
MacDuff- I somehow miraculously came across a bin of fabric at Goodwill last year that had wool in it for seven bucks and couldn't pass up on the opportunity since I'd been wanting to try out a cloak for at least a couple of years prior- I finished making it up last January just in time for what was more or less an ice storm with a ton of wind and it performed AMAZINGLY. I'm considering making a couple more out of various materials for different weather situations as an experiment. I've laid out on the floor and such with my feet in the hood and it's just the perfect length for me to be able to pull it up as a TQ and it's about 3/4 circle in size so more than enough width on it, I've yet to test it outside in the cold as of yet, but I think it's going to be great. I need to get it out and test it soon, we have some decently cool weather going on this weekend here- I think the subject of wool items as hammock insulation could make an interesting thread to start.
You guys are all so great for all of the encouragement that you give, it helps make my day little brighter anytime I jump on here to check the updates. Have an amazing day everyone!

So here is an idea...for those that dehydrate their own food...would anyone be interested in a dehydrated meal cook off? Bring you best DIY meals and have a blind taste test to see who’s the best. I’d be happy to throw some money into a Dutch, RSBTR, or other vendor gift certificate for the winner.
