My hammock camping set-up

My DIY/custom hammock camping set-up is lighter than a conventional tent, and so much comfier! There are many ways to hammock, this is mine.

    Wow! This was well made video Washington's alpine lakes! I like how you focus on mountain scenery and not on yourself!

    Very well made and "natural narrative". Very much liked that you named major points on your trail, showing tent site, & MAPS !! It is a pleasure to hear a narrator that has the habit of actually describing the things they do on a climb and the reason for interesting choices.

      Thanks very much! I prefer to show the environment and not my face. 😊

    Did that loop with donkeys, and my grand dad in about 1957. Went the other way.

    Marmot Lake was so pretty, and Jade Lake. Nice camp you had by them. I'm planning to do Colchuck this summer, now I'm interested in this area too. Thank you

      Yes, the whole area is gorgeous! I would highly recommend spending more time at those lakes than I did.

    A well made video! Mt Daniel was awesome. My only issue is I had to do subtitles to understand anything you said as the music was too loud. I subscribed. Good job. I like that you didn't overdo facetime like most people do.

      Thanks. I'm still pretty new to making videos, so I'll keep the music volume in mind.

    I've got a purple sleeping bag as well. It's a Sierra Designs original. Over 50 years old. Nice work on the hammock! And that little lake looks like a great camping spot. Where is it?

      Here's where the idea came from. www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/29560-Stretch-Side-Hammock My version is even simpler, with just a small gap in the hem, and an overhand knot in the elastic to keep it from slipping back inside the channel.

    Nice set up. Very Shug. Looks very well made. I’m still stuck in my Hennessy Hammock. I love it, but yours is beautiful. Well, done.

    • @viewfinderhikes
      @viewfinderhikes Рік тому

      Thanks! I've definitely taken some inspiration from Shug!
