I'm an ex Army man...slept under tarps in The Belize jungle, Northern Ireland and many other places...if it works for you then it's the perfect setup...massive respect to you two.
You have been so kind in the comments to people with all their advice. You have the patience of a saint! Hopefully this video will put it to bed and give you a break. Yule blessings on you both ☺️
There is nothing that beats personal experience to teach you about living in the outdoors. Being able to adapt things to circumstance is an art. Keep smiling. Happy hopping.
Another great video guys 👍 I'm not going to comment about the tarp, as the couple of times we've tried using one, the efforts have been pitiful 🤣 I'll just bow to your superior knowledge. (after 10 years, you must be doing it right) As always, take care ❤
I am right with you, if it works for you thats all you need. I do many setups on my channel and they are all done for a reason. Best wishes to you both.
You guys live how i want to live. Ive lived in my van for 7 years but i still dont feel free. One day i will giv it all up to live my dream. And you guys help push me to that. And also you know what your doing. No need to explain to the odiots out their
Bless you. We've never really thought vans were freeing. We've both done it separately too and both don't get on with it. But tents are far warmer than a van too, no heaters required etc. You'll do it, and thank you. Always gots us for advice if you need it. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Thankyou so much hoppers , im just a weekend wild camper no no means any kind of expert i got so much from this video , thankyou for your time , 10 years hey !!! Id rather get advice from you 2 you seem to be doing better than ok , regards leave no trace 365 xx
Exactly lol, imagine the hours too... only takes 10,000 to be a pro at anything these days. Read 3 books on a subject and we'd be more in the know than 99% of the population. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Haters going to hate, it's what they do, I know it must be hard to have unwarranted criticism from people but 10 years experience says it all, Stay safe guys
Ignore the keyboard outdoor types! The difference is you are actually out there, living and experiencing it! Huge Credit to you both, living off grid and camping in the worst of this years weather! And your well pitched tarp!
Honestly.. I'd trust your tried and tested experience a whole lot more than weekend warriors who only camp when it's hot. Some people are full of opinions.. not always right!
I'm with you it's worked for you for over ten plus years so I'd be more inclined to say you know best. So many experts these days I bet half of them have never even used them lol. Have a nice evening 👍
Just bought my first tarp but I can pick and choose the weather that I go out in. I will be using it for all the same reasons as yourselves. I won't get it right for myself until I get my own experiences under my belt. Which is the reason I won't comment on yours. Stay safe. 😁
@markwhalebone751 Cheers, you'll get it eventually... it's always on the situation and not to mention... we Keep an eye on the weather at least 3 days in advanced, just as a pre cursor. Thank you, good luck on yours and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
Love it "tarpology" 👌. Everyone has to put their tuppence in, eh! Im just glad & grateful to learn from you guys and absorb as much tried & tested knowledge as you both impart. Glad to see the ground is drying up after that storm AND THAT YOUR TARP SURVIVED 😉 (Get it up ya's keyboard warriors!) Sending you three my best blessings and energy. Looking forward to watching the next upload. Be safe, be well.🙏💚
@@juliecoppin4165 Thank you, it's the life we chose. One day blurs to the next lol... it's absolutely awesome life we have. Cheers again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Great explanation guys you don’t have to do it by the book they are just a guide you can always tweak it to your own liking which is exactly what you do well done 👍 thanks for sharing this
Cheers Cully, really appreciated and yes... you're very right, always just a guide... it seems keyboard warriors like to comment and then disappear from once they came. No worries, thank you for your continued support and comments. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Love your videos going start camping in new year would love to camp with you guys so you can learn me the tricks of the trade lol please keep making content stay safe god bless
Watch this space 😜, we've something coming in the pipeline, so keep a kean eye. We're figuring out logistics of a few things. But can't say too much at present lol 😆 will definitely be making more content, with many more years to come..HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Really helpful am about to purchase my 1st and you’ve learned through years of experience saving me ! Any advice on waterproof trousers I’ve good breathable pairs but the lining rips after a bit
I've not.found a pair, Tara uses ski trousers... and loves them. But waterproofs... I stopped wearing, I dry off quicker with lightweights. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Not long subscribed I'm thinking of doing that way of living full time when my healths better,these part times need to realise you live this respect to you both your blessed you have each other if I can help in any way let me know I've got a temporally flat in Honiton I'm away for 2 weeks if you want it over Christmas let you genuine I'm good judge of character, and leaning lots from you and other you tubers thanks
Thank you for the offer, but we don't do bricks lol... ever lmao 🤣 only.to wash in if we've the opportunity. But have family commitments this year too, so we're covered lol. Thanks again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
What works works, many people dont understand. Fully understood your respectful comment about The English Woodman . You know your personal situations as the weather changes. Well explained. Stay safe and ignore negative comments. PS. You have more than your share of common sense. ❤
Bless you cheers. We always stay respectful until someone awakens the Cracken lol... even then, we try to always be humble and respectful. Thanks again and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
I prefer tarps 👍 your the only ones who brought in wind direction ect that I've seen, but with the time you have both lived it then the wealth of knowledge you both have is golden . Thank you both 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've been using a tarp since summer, I got a Unigear 3x3 (£17), I've used it with tents and bivvies (I bivvie in my tent!), I would literally die if I couldn't get out nights. Is there anything I can do to make my tarp last longer? Are some set ups more stressful to tarps than others sort of thing. My god, a decade beneath the stars, that's amazing.
Not really with Unigear, pay for what you get... although some uni gear is good... the dry bags we've used before also. But at that price, you could buy 3 or 4 unigear to match a DD, so if it works at the moment, it works. Otherwise.... don't fold it, always stuff it. Fold creases will create weak points across the fold. Don't leave it up for too long, the elements will make it brittle, the seams will break down too. Don't let water sit and bowle either, as that will deform the shape, much like over stretched balloon, and also.. just keep the tension off slightly too. But that's the best bit of straight forward advice on the tarp you gots. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Never mind yer tarp for gawds sake man wheres yer trewsers? Runnin around the woods in yer under wear youll get yerself locked up!!! Top vid, nice one!
Those hoodies you have look really practical, what are they? Btw I agree on the tarp set up, low is always better, with freedom to move, depends if your using it with a tent or a hammock. Keep the kids coming guys really enjoying them
Our own hoodies, but we're working on a merch shop for next year... just making sure we put together decent stuff and not consumerist crap. Cheers again. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@johnalley3404 Will do, and thank you... so many sensible people out there too, it's actually pulling out the smart ones such as yourself lol. No disrespect to you, really appreciate your support and comments too. Thanks again and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Fair play to U both.....whatever works for U, whatever environment your in, whatever season your at...EVERYONE's an expert until they try it for a weekend 😀
Lol, thank you. So true, and others take to this lifestyle like a duck in water... yet to find anyone real at the moment. Specifically for our Nomadic lifestyle. Tent, backpacks, on foot, move around for work etc... we've had people proclaim until we wish to meet them deep winter, then... they disappear sadly. But hey, it's all good here. Cheers again and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Spot on ... often you gotta go with nature and not try to fight it ... excessive tightness has destroyed many a good tent too ... people often forget that trees sway in high wind too which can cause ridgelines to snap ... it's why I'm a fan of bungees in some situations ... flippin love the DD multicam ... so much I just added the 4x4 to my kit ...'s a flippin palace 🙂
Nice tarp....I like the colour ..very autumnal. Keep warm guys .at least your away from the the lergie..hospitals are stacked to the rafters with sick people..
Please do do watch our videos, we've gone over this many time. But much like everyone else... with a plug lol 😆. Be that a friend, family, client, pub, cafe etc etc. Cheers again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@lornamcmahon5653 bigger is not always better, so the setup is best for us... 4x4 or bigger, could just cause more issues in the long run, but being full time with backpacks and on foot... by adding the extra 1m each edge, would add another 400grams. Something we'd not want to carry also... but in other situations, we've used different setups, stick around and you'll definitely see our different situations. Cheers again and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Does it work for you?? Then it’s fine! Adapt the tarp and the tent to the weather and land conditions. I honestly don’t understand why people are saying your tarps wrong when it’s clearly down to the situation of why you use a tarp!
Your tarp, your way! Can’t believe others are advising you 😅…I guess they know exactly where you are, the minute by minute forecast for your location etc . If you’re happy and warm and dry….#£& em! Happy Hopping all three 👍🤝
TARP TARP TARP the boys are marching ...😂 😂 Arguing against 10 years stealth camping wisdom is futile. I was glad to learn your reasons why...and I am even happier I did not post the first question that popped into my mind: " Why not an A frame setup for the snow." 😂🤣💚💚
Hey guys, well explained can’t argue with experience, you remind me of Chris Caine he used to get annoyed with comments about his kit and always said look this is my way I do wat works for me and he lived on Dartmoor, lakes, Scotland under a basha 15+ years so he knew best just like you guys and totally agree everything is based around the weight and compactness of your packs, ever thought of getting a wood burner😫only joking👍
@Nofixedabode859 LOL. yeah exactly. It's like the jaguar owners saying 'you should buy a jaguar, best thing since sliced bread'. 'They, just don't get it'. Thank you for the laugh, and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
Anything ray mears personally. Wild food UK... pretty sure they have some books out and their website is pretty good too. Failing that... have a look at downloading books, once you've decided. But again with books, much like tarps... it's what works best for you and your circumstances. We prefer a season by season guide to up our knowledge on what's about every month etc. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
@loghoppers. Hi guys, I just wanted to know what you both do for a living are you both Gardners or do you make stuff?and what about washing facilities.
Please watch our videos, your questions will all be answered there. Our work videos, art, photography and youtube. So have a look, cheers and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Hi , Hoppers . I hope all is good really enjoying your vids . If you both are ever in need of any kit please send me a PM and we can sort something out .🦁💜🙏
@andrewpaulreynolds6329 Thank you for your kind offer, but we're good cheers. Spent a long time getting the kit we have just right for all of our situations and needs. But, will certainly shout if ever needed anything, but be assured... we work for our barter. Cheers again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@ thanks and the offer is open I have a lot of kit and it’s important in life to give back and I understand if you want to barter but remember it’s good to receive sometimes in life . 🦁💜🙏
Hey tarp that is too tight and that bit rope doesn't have enough strength, also needs to be higher. lol J/k 😂 Rather good to know why you have it like you do, i just used to put them up any how and i did it for years too, best time of my life. Good on the both of ya 🙏🌼
@joshmeredith5702 nooooo, not wise at all. People see alot of homeless people with blue tarps over their tents and it is most definitely not the nomad way, got to have some air circulation too or you'll get wet, freeze and then... opens the door for more issues too. Stuff won't be able to dry off either, by condensation etc... it'll keep the place wet being covered over. Hope that helps, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
Most definitely Huck, Tara and I have fine tuned with alot of self scrutiny to get the perfect packs, and gear for us. It would take alot, to get remotely close to what we have and how things are used for us and our situation! You are very correct and thank you for having hawk eyes and watching all of our vids, we see ya huck... you've been watching all for quite some time now. Thank you and wish you all the best. HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
more than one way to skin a cat as they say, same as more than one way to place a tarp you guys clearly have it set up for your needs that's all that matters some people just feel the need to be the expert all the time and tell others their not doing things the traditional way their for it cant work which is rubbish carry on the way you are
Lol 😆 🤣 cheers. Especially when we've lived it over 10yrs all over the UK 🇬🇧 in many many different events, scenarios or terrains. Thanks again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
...little bit older than you guys, so could I say; it sounds like the keyboard warriors are getting to you? But you really don't have to *rationalise or justify* anything to these *antagonistic* *adult toxic toddlers!* Be well, do you! Good setup strategy!
…all these wannabe bushcrafts men, ray mears, bears grylls 🤣wind your neck in ffs and let people do what suits them. Trolling ya little bits off coz ya probably colder in ya council flat than these guys are outside, isn’t going to do any good ha
I never have had a tarp, let's get that out the way. But, I can not understand why people have them so high, it just doesn'tmake sense to me?? That's just madness to my way if thinking!
EXACTLY!!!! People like to emulate a house, and not be in touch with nature the way it's meant to be. But... gots to be able to walk under a tarp proper aye lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
I'm an ex Army man...slept under tarps in The Belize jungle, Northern Ireland and many other places...if it works for you then it's the perfect setup...massive respect to you two.

Hi , Hoppers . I hope all is good really enjoying your vids . If you both are ever in need of any kit please send me a PM and we can sort something out .🦁💜🙏
@andrewpaulreynolds6329 Thank you for your kind offer, but we're good cheers. Spent a long time getting the kit we have just right for all of our situations and needs. But, will certainly shout if ever needed anything, but be assured... we work for our barter. Cheers again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@ thanks and the offer is open I have a lot of kit and it’s important in life to give back and I understand if you want to barter but remember it’s good to receive sometimes in life . 🦁💜🙏
I wasn't aware there was a right and wrong way to hang a tarp!
If it works the way you do it, then who cares!?
Exactly lol. You'll be surprised how many people do care tho lmao 😆 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Can I ask where you got your hoodies from ? In very much need for something like that .
@100Aliens they're ours lol. We'll have a merch shop in the new year. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@loghoppers Awesome rather give you my money
@100Aliens stay tuned as we're working on a proper lineup and decent gear. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
❤👌
Hey tarp that is too tight and that bit rope doesn't have enough strength, also needs to be higher. lol J/k 😂 Rather good to know why you have it like you do, i just used to put them up any how and i did it for years too, best time of my life.
Good on the both of ya 🙏🌼
@@Dr-Sy Cheers Cully, really appreciated. Hope you're staying warm and well. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Just think, all those comments harping on about the right and wrong way to set up your tarp, boosts your channel in the algorithm 😃
@@tomsco7 It does indeed. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Hey I have a question. Bear in mind I’ve never even gone camping. Can’t you just get like a 5 meter by 5 meter and cover the whole lot 😂
@joshmeredith5702 nooooo, not wise at all. People see alot of homeless people with blue tarps over their tents and it is most definitely not the nomad way, got to have some air circulation too or you'll get wet, freeze and then... opens the door for more issues too.
Stuff won't be able to dry off either, by condensation etc... it'll keep the place wet being covered over. Hope that helps, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
Its no doubt They're nomadic and on foot. I'm sure their gear has been finely tuned for weight and needs after 10yrs 👍🏼
Most definitely Huck, Tara and I have fine tuned with alot of self scrutiny to get the perfect packs, and gear for us. It would take alot, to get remotely close to what we have and how things are used for us and our situation! You are very correct and thank you for having hawk eyes and watching all of our vids, we see ya huck... you've been watching all for quite some time now. Thank you and wish you all the best. HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
more than one way to skin a cat as they say, same as more than one way to place a tarp you guys clearly have it set up for your needs that's all that matters some people just feel the need to be the expert all the time and tell others their not doing things the traditional way their for it cant work which is rubbish carry on the way you are
Will definitely do that lol. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
👍
Sorry i tried to edit my stupid keyboard spelling but wouldnt let me ..i hope my previous comment made some sense.
All cool. Not to worry, we're not the grammar police lol. We try to let the phone do most the work lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
So, about your tarp set up........... 🙄🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Vegan?
No. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Horses for courses,,,
Oh Don't worry about it! It's bad manners to critisize someones camp setup anyway.
Lol 😆 🤣 cheers. Especially when we've lived it over 10yrs all over the UK 🇬🇧 in many many different events, scenarios or terrains. Thanks again, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
...little bit older than you guys, so could I say; it sounds like
the keyboard warriors are getting to you? But you really don't
have to *rationalise or justify* anything to these *antagonistic*
*adult toxic toddlers!* Be well, do you! Good setup strategy!
Thank you. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
…all these wannabe bushcrafts men, ray mears, bears grylls 🤣wind your neck in ffs and let people do what suits them. Trolling ya little bits off coz ya probably colder in ya council flat than these guys are outside, isn’t going to do any good ha
Priceless 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Some of my setups look odd.. but, I know why i do it🫡
Yep, exactly. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
I never have had a tarp, let's get that out the way. But, I can not understand why people have them so high, it just doesn'tmake sense to me?? That's just madness to my way if thinking!
EXACTLY!!!! People like to emulate a house, and not be in touch with nature the way it's meant to be. But... gots to be able to walk under a tarp proper aye lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
TARPGATE!. FSAKES. You carry on Guys. All the best.
Cheers lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
