    It's a good trip to learn. A good mix of hammock's and tent's usually come so lots of experience sitting around the camp. As far as anything special: without knowing your setup it's hard to give any specific recommendations. Overnights look like they will be in the mid-upper 20's so be prepared for that I guess. It's usually a pretty laid back bunch so don't be bashful.

    Thank you guys and gal. I had a great time. I bailed early because that wind was taking my heat away and with that OV underquilt I couldn't get a good lay. Hope to do it again. Hit me up on Instagram @henningoutdoors for next time. Thank you

    That wind was brutal! I had to get up twice and restake my tarp because it came lose. What time did you leave? A couple of us left at 7:45-8 and I wasn't sure if you were still around. How was the hammock otherwise?

    I left at 4 am. Jarred was a head of me I talked to him in the parking lot. I need to work on something's with that hammock and underquilt. I was getting cold that wind was stealing all my heat. I didn't have a great lay in the hammock. But keep me in mind for the future. Thanks again

    Yeah, they take some dialing in, no doubt. That's why I ended up going to the Ridge runner. I could never get a great lay in a gathered end. We'll, hopefully you had fun before all that. Keep your eyes peeled for next year.
