    Noob from Bham.

    New to the forum.
    Been hangin for a few years and still have not figured out how to stay warm.
    Hope to get it figured out this winter without spending a mortgage payment.
    Got a multiday planned in the Smokies for Christmas, and i don't want to have to go to ground.

    Learned tons about UQ, suspensions, necrabiners from this site already.

    Pretty sure Shug in in need of some hardcore meds, but e is informative and entertaining.



    HH w 2qzq mod #2, stock tarp, woopies, and homemade UQ from GI poncho liner and Dry Ducks poncho.

    Welcome aboard. Really shouldn't cost you a mortgage payment. Get a nice underquilt, use you sleeping bag as a top quilt and a small piece of closed cell foam under your feet and you should stay warm.

    I tried to call all y'all that I had numbers for about dinner tonight. Sorry if you went there and no one was there. It kinda hit the fan at work this morning...

    Welcome from another in Birmingham! Be sure to stop by Alabama Outdoors and say hi!

    (PS for those in the know and that come visit often, I am no longer at the Homewood store. Come visit me at Pelham!)
    Get busy living, or get busy dying.
