    First of many outings to the "test Site"

    Had a good hang just yesterday in Northwestern Wisconsin on the old family farm. This will be my "test site" this year to try new gear and new campsites. it went well, but I did get a bit of sagging during the night. Thought it was my ENO Slapstraps stretching at first, but realized I didn't have the straps tight enough on one tree and they shimmied down about a foot or so. Got a tip from Peelo to wrap twice around to avoid this in the future. Didn't like waking up on my gear!

    My set up is an ENO Doublenest with a Warbonnet Superfly, 20degree Zepplin UQ, 15 degree Marmot sleeping bag and home-made gear hammock.

    Pretty sweet. I wish I had a good test site. Living in apartments is taking it's toll on me. I'm going to have to come up to work this Saturday to hand my hammock and test fit my new (to me) JRB Hudson River as an UQ.

    Tying to get set up in the back yard as well. Not enough trees! Any thoughts?
