How do you like the Eno tarp? What hammock did you use?

I like it. I wish the walls were a bit longer so I could set it up higher off the ground. I'm 5'10" and to get the walls within a foot of the ground means I'm stooped over a lot while moving around underneath. It's more of an issue late at night when you have to get up to water the forest. I've only used it in rain, sprinkling rain really, once. It was also windy that night. It kept the rain and wind off me. Closing both ends helped with that.

The hammock is an Eno Doublenest with an Ember 2 underquilt. The underquilt is a bit light for late fall through early spring, so I also use a sleeping bag. I haven't gone full retard with the top quilt and all.

Got a little snow in Central Texas today.

New Sweden Lutheran Church where my great Grandfather and my Father both preached (not at the same time).

So Newt Gingrich finally got a job where he can really run the country off the rails.
