Hi All!
Name's Richard, and as the subject says I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'm new to hammocking but have a nice little kit already and am eager to get out and hang, perhaps even do some winter hammocking. I'd like to thank Shug for leading me here, as well as for producing excellent and entertaining content. Even though hammocking is a small part of his videos, the Corporal's Corner channel on YT also helped me learn how to prepare ridgelines, prepare my kit, etc (I'm not sure that Cpl Kelly has an acct here, but felt it was was worthwhile mentioning it). Also used the hammock videos of Tim Watson on YT for ideas.
Just a quick n' dirty list of my gear, so far:
- Hammock Camp hammock set (probably one of those mass produced cheaper sets, but it's been working great so far in my backyard testing ; has a rainfly, Hammie Hangers, bug net, etc)
- Outdoor Vitals 15 Degree underquilt
- Kelty Tuck 20 sleeping bag
- A quick deploy paracord ridgeline, 50' just in case and a spare 25' cord because can you ever really have too much paracord!?
- Quick deploy paracord guylines for the rainfly with added shockcord suspension (thanks Shug and Tim Watson for the ideas)
- Various other camping related stuff like MOLLE-compatible pack, cooking gear, Grayl water filter, compass, knives, hatchet, fire-starter kit, wool blanket, etc.
- Cold weather clothing layers, thermal undies top and bottom, merino wool baselayer, synthetic midlayer, nice Gerry outerlayer stuff, gloves, hats (not as many as Shug, yet), etc.
I believe I am setup for some good cold weather hammocking and if anyone is in Colorado, especially within a reasonable drive from Colorado Springs, and wouldn't mind a tag along, I'd love to hang with ya.
