I live because of -and for- the wellbeing of life in all it's diversity.
Please try not to be too judgemental as I'm growing slowly and my videos represent me "back then", not necessarily "me now".
Good times to you!

While the geese fly over, heading south in the thousands, the crows will stay. Connecting with "fellow locals" is always a pleasure.

Thanks a million! Now I know why my snugpack ( zipper, cough, cough ) was warmer then the Carinthie 4. Me thinks the hood is only to be used in combination with a Tropen bag for really, really low ( life threatening / emergency if you will ) temperatures. Which also could explain the large size of the hood of the 4. This bag could be a life saver, hence the design. I'll take your advice at heart and shall give it a try!
Awesome tip! Makes perfect sense , thanks!
Hi, Love the idea. Do you share the dimensions or a tutorial in order to do the same?
Nice that you like the idea. I decided not to show too much instructional detail since I got some of my own inspiration from Jemtlander and their Pullpac product. The dimensions depend on the size you require for the bag/backpack you want to transport. Basically the width of the sheet needs to be the width of your bag plus twice the height, and the length needs to be about 1.5times the length of the bag or more if you wish to transport more stuff. Drill holes at the end of the shaping-cuts to stop the cuts from ripping further. Here a link to the Jemtlander page. In case you are unsure about building your own, I suggest to buy their Pullpac. www.jemtlander.se/pullpac-sled
very cool
didn't know that but now I do
Thanks for the tip. 😀👍 I kind of wish I’d not bought the corinithia sleep system because it’s so confusing and time consuming trying to work out how to tie the liner, summer and winter into one unit
You could buy a quilt, they are fairly simple to use.
Sweet
Why not possible. What's your answer?
awesome that you take care about your environment. This is Impatiens grandulifera. We have the same problem with this species in Austria.. But Fallopia japonica is even worse.😬 Keep it up. :)
Hey mein Lieber, schöne Grüße aus der Eifel!! Mach mal was mit Pilze sammeln 😍😍😍
Gutes Beerenjahr, aber nicht so top mit Pilzen. Schon einiges an Pfifferlingen und Trompetenpfifferlingen getrocknet. Freue mich auf die Tintlinge.
Hi Huck. In Canada, I think its the opposite. Lol. Cheers 🍻
ur awesome
I dont even split wood but i enjoyed this short 😂
ima try that in the morning.
you are suchh an inventor :D
Aren't inventors those who come up with own ideas? This I read in a bushcraft book over 30 years ago. Just noticed the other day that someone didn't seem to know this trick and thought that maybe there are others who don't
@@huckmiddeke665 Fair enough. I wanted to ask to whom are you showing this, to the city boys that never saw axe or to the rest of the world that chops and splits wood with axes since they are 9...but you got a point there. Enjoy and happy filming.
Sorry bro but that’s splitting not chopping 🤷🏻♂️
Interesting. Didn't know. What's the difference?
@@huckmiddeke665 Chopping is against the grain, splitting is with the grain. Most languages just use the same word for both activities, though.
Will correct it in the title. I do see "chopping" used a little in English for the same activity though.
@@huckmiddeke665 You can chop a tree down but you wouldnt split it down? unless youre a giant. If you say "im going to split wood" no-one thinks youre felling trees but if someone said "im going to chop wood" youd think they were splitting as well. English gets confusing.
Cheers lad
very smart!
I don’t use my car (van) unless I really have to , I prefer cycling.
Thank you for sharing. I'm curious about these "really have to" situations. Do situations like this arise because we have cars? What if you wouldn't have a car in these situations? Would you need to borrow or rent one?
Thanks Huck. Good trick. I'm on the Tube now. camo camping and fun. Cheers 🍻
Happy camo camping. What's "the tube"?
@huckmiddeke665 camo camping and fun. Is the name of my UA-cam bro. Cheers 🍻
You gain good speed, until you see a crossroads at bottom of downhill, and you have to stop because you cannot see if there are people coming from right or left. "OOOF!" One point. Where my "second" home is (and where l've lived lately), lve playing idea for making long trips with bike (with trailer). But l fear big trucks with 100 km/h who bypass me of me, and there are no proper areas for bikers and walkers in countryside, only main road ("cycle- and footpath", yhdistetty pyöräilytie ja jalkakäytävä). When l visited this summer in Imatra countryside, there were areas where weren't either areas for slower traffic, BUT their roads have special thing compared to other places l've visited (or main road between Savo and Joensuu, which l can remember well). There are white lines in each side of asphalt. Usually distance between white line and end of asphalt is something like 0-10 cm. But in Imatra area it was rather like half meter or so! Why all roads don't have such things, if there aren't separate ways for cyclists and walkers? It would be safer and lure people more to bike (with trailers). And if l want to go in evenings or nights, thinking about fewer traffic, then trucks move probably even faster (over 100km/h) bypassing beside you!
If I could afford it Huck. I would go to see you. Lol Cheers 🍻 bro
Interesting topic, real sustainable tourism should be high on the list but unfortunatly it isnt. Cheers from Saukko (IWG kuru, we met before)
Deep thinking, good questions. Do we need these experiences what is luring us to be tourists? Isn't it enough to know and be experienced only locally where we are living our life? Well, it is also complicated questions. I travel sometimes and justify it by larger understanding, even truth is that my "larger understanding" does not help anything. Another "problem" is my couple life, where another half is from other side of this planet. Least what we try to do is limiting our traveling between our two home countries, but we know that it is still too much for our planet.
Yesterday swam around small lake or better "lampi" near my childhood home village. It was interesting to see environment from different angle of view.
Nel sistema di aggancio posso chiederti marca e modello di quelle pouch ? Grazie
It's 2nd hand Dutch army. But pretty much standard molle waterbottle/general purpose pouch
Awesome 👍👍
Nice setup Huck 👌 Cheers 🍻
Stay safe up there!!

Hello, Clearly the centre pole is under high compression, but I wonder if you have tried to see if skis would do the job of supporting the tent? thanks for the video, cormac
Moi, I have not tried with skis, and I wouldn't because they're not adjustable I length. Also using skis is maybe something you do with an hilleberg altai when you want to save weight, but with the hawu weight saving is out of the priority list anyways. What does work: • using a standing, living tree and building the tent around the trunk • hanging the tent from a rope/strap tied between two trees • suspending the tent from a bi- or tripod.
I'm lucky. I don't move from my back when I sleep. The sleep doctor thought I was until they gave me a sleep test. They came in after 3 hours to see if I was OK because I had not moved at all, and my reservations were abnormally slow. For me, it was just the way I had trained myself to sleep. I just cover everything but my nose and mouth. But what you say is how I taught my kids to sleep.
Bark beetles?
Nop
Could it be lightning 🌩 bro? Thanks for the short. Cheers 🍻
The question is: why are all those pinecones on the ground? Lighting is not the reason, though some "external force" was at play/work.
Outstanding
A new look. For the runways in France Huck. Lol. Cheers bro
Runways in France?
Awesome! Looks great!
👍
Hey Huck. Your bike isn't electric. Lol. Cheers 🍻
Floating bogs are so cool.
Nice setup bro. Looks like a good place. To camp. Cheers 🍻
Sick!
Ya we have tons of invasive plants. Here in Canada Huck. But most people, don't care 😢. Cheers bro.
Nice clear description of the blakes hitch. I liked that you talked about what you used it for. I initially saw this in climbing videos but your use for it is excellent.
Originally I know it from climbing. Then I used it for tarp lines and mostly I use it for closing muesli-, buckwheat- or coffeebags
Excellent video and product. Thanks for sharing!
Can you post an update with it on your helmet?
I only have climbing, bicycle and kayaking helmet and usually use it without a helmet for nature observations or group games. Will take a video next time I remember.
@@huckmiddeke665 thanks, I’m trying to gauge the puffiness to fabric ratio
@swalker157 here a video where you can see it on my head/helmet ua-cam.com/users/shortsqQ0wlDXOPTE?feature=share
Mmmmmmm ants 🐜 servivial food. Cheers 🍻 bro
Very cool
Excellent idea bro. Thanks very much. Cheers 🍻
this is amazing
The garden hose extensions are genius! Simple, light, functional. Will try to remember for my next bikepacking trip
