Hey y'all, here's a few photos from a section of the Bartram trail in Georgia. I had originally planned to do the Jack's River Trail, but that just wasn't going to happen at these temperatures (forecast lows were in the upper teens in the Cohutta). At 4 am of the day of the hike, I called the audible to go on a trail with fewer creek crossings. Still, this represents the coldest night I've spent in a hammock and boy was it a windy one (glad I brought the UQP and big tarp even with no rain in the forecast). I was admirably warm considering the 20* ratings on my Hammock Gear Burrow and Wooki XL. I probably could've extended down another 5-10 degrees and been comfortable before having to add on top of my base layers. Enough with the yapping, here's the pictures:
I should've left the fishing gear at home to save some pack weight. It was too cold, the trail didn't have many fishable stretches in this section, and I didn't even spook a fish in the hour I did fish.
