    2020 6th annual chili butt hang at Marsden Tract (Potomac MD)

    Just wanted to give a shout out to HF member Uphill for organizing this event. We had clear butt cold weather for Friday night. I only stayed Friday night of the weekend hang due to my Cpap battery dying after one night, but I did have a great time hanging with my fellow HF members. The site was beautiful and the food was great with everyone bringing all manner of great eats. The low was 21F. This trip showed me that I have some more practice to do in terms of dialing in my insulation to ensure that I stay toasty warm. I guess this means more backyard practice. Thanks to all especially Uphill for making this a fun and memorable outdoors outing. I wish I could have stayed the whole weekend. I am posting a few photos of the hang site and environs. This was my first time at this hang and I am looking forward to hanging here again with my fellow HF members.

    Man, all these pics look great! This was a great 5th Chili Butt Hang. The group swelled to over 3x the previous years’ counts with a. Count of 20 who came out.

    The weather was perfect for a true chili butt hang. Dry all weekend with highs touching the 50s, yet lows in the low 20s. That’s mid Atlantic weather for ya.

    I slept much better the second night once I had my down jacket around the footbox of my 30° topquilt, and my 50° Tq better secured on top of it all than it was the first night.

    My wife was a little disappointed that I didn’t have any of the chili left over to bring home for her to try, but I guess that means everyone enjoyed it! And the Mac n Cheese was a perfect accompaniment, thanks samiller24! Thanks to everyone who brought toppings to make the chili even better. Breakfast options were well received by the group with some biscuits n gravy, again from samiller24, some deer sausage from Lonny, and a tasty egg/veg scramble by Christian.

    Hunter’s Bar and Grill was a great Saturday lunch spot that filled everyone’s bellies with their half price burger specials and reduced price draft beer selection. I don’t think many of us were hungry for the rest of the afternoon and evening.

    Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the weekend with me. I’m quite humbled that we had such a good crowd of new friends.

    I was the last to leave the campground and these two cups were found on the picnic table. If they belong to you, let me know and we'll figure out how to get them back to you. And yes, I did wash them...
