Southerners

OK you win but I've seen the movie and all five seasons of Fargo. You guys are more than a little nutty.

Yeah, those are documentaries about the cold and snowy side of the state. I live on the west side where it's usually warmer and drier. It's not bad without the wind.

It's all relative. Over 80 in the summer and some of us start getting cranky.

I have that same rule and I live in South Carolina. July and August aren't good times.

Hell I wear a hoodie to about 72 degrees. 80 is still chilly if your not in the sun.

Grew up on sweet tea. Do people actually drink unsweet tea?

Just people who aren't interested in diabeetus.

To be fair, I only drink it a couple times a year now but growing up there was always a pitcher on the counter.

I try to camp on the coldest day of each week this time of year. Sadly, what passes for winter in the Lowcountry of South Carolina isn't exactly cold.

Yes do this every year if new gear is acquired. Finds your weak spot in gear or yourself...

I know where my weak spot is. Right between my ears like my dad always told me

I wear a hoody until it hits single digits, then I put on a coat.

If your gear needs to function in our current weather, you have seriously f'ed up!

I just simply would leave the -40 to go somewhere else.
One time I went to canada when it was -10F real temp. That was dumb.
Hell I LIKE it when the temp is low 90's.

This might could be the best thread I’ve seen since the season ended

We should see some pretty good temp drops by end of this week in the Carolinas, even down in your neck of the woods.

I think the low for my area is 12 degrees this Saturday night, I know my gear is good to below that but I may set up camp in the back yard just to give the wife and kids something to talk about

Reminds me of when Pat McManus and his buddy would set up a tent in the backyard and try to survive after the porch light went out ... LOL

Good times, good times ....

I’ve been testing my recliner piloting skills for a few hours now
It 20* and the wind is howling
There is no gear needed except exactly where I am right now and I won’t budge until breakfast is ready

These conditions in north GA are perfect for gear testing! When season is over I'm all about doing some hiking, camping, and scouting. I survived Snowmageddon in Atlanta and spent 11 hours in a work van years ago.

Yes, good enough. I camp during the week, because on weekends I'm all about family. During the week I can leave work a little early and be at the campsite by sundown. Then it's make a fire; setup camp by headlamp; have a drink; cook my steak; and then sleep under the stars. Pack clothes for work and head back to my warehouse in the morning.

27 degrees coming tomorrow night, and I'll be here:
