    Had a big family ski trip this year and knew I needed warmth while being active and learned about the Bryne Norwegian fishnet tech long johns.

Found some knock off stuff on Amazon and it worked GREAT during our cold ski trip.

    Too many people wear too much to sleep. Or wear their sweaty , clammy clothes to sleep. Get chills and are cold. Or how about the quilt is too warm and you sweat. Sweat causes chills and you are cold. What's the worst is you can tell people this and they still do it since they don't understand and are scared to wear less. All good points.

      The tarp in the DIY snakeskin video is a winter tarp that we made and the pattern is Hexcam. Unfortunately we moved and we are shut down right now until we get a shop up and running again which probably won't be until this fall. If you follow us on any of our social media's or here on RUclips we will be announcing when we will be opening back up. We won't be making hammocks any more but we will be making tarps for hammock camping as well as regular tarp camping and bushcrafting. Another thing you can do is go to our site and sign up for the email list and I will email everyone with the date we will open as soon as I know for sure.

I went to the far side of the lake which had a steep slope to the water ( no flat spots for tents ) and set up my hammock there with a lake view and no one else around !!!
