I've just ordered one from Russia to UK...thanks for video after looking at various hammocks..hammock tents..suspended tents for months ...this is the one for me!!!
Awesome! So happy you got to try the hammock! Mine is still in transit. There's so little info out there on it, I think you can claim the first video bragging rights. I saw a very similar video where the guy used a version of one of the catalytic hand warmers like what zippo offers and hung it from an interior ridge line in an enclosed hammock. It made me think of this one. It made quite a difference in temp and condensation. I hope the house is getting sorted out for you.
Thanks Sean! I couldn’t find much info on it myself. Hand warmer is a good idea. I need to pick some up. I put them on my phone to save the battery in the cold. Filming in winter is pretty interesting. I can shoot for a minute and then have to warm the battery in my pocket before setting back up. Just have to modify my work flow a bit. Cabin is coming along. Still just using basic solar system, but am clearing some trees around house to open it up and limit the squirrels access. We like the conduit idea. Much appreciated! Hope your hammock arrives soon. Definitely worth experiencing in the winter. Insulated sleeping pad inside and it was good to go.
@@EnduranceRoom I have had little luck with the rechargeable electric type hand warmers. Basically, they need to be warm to...um...well...warm. Once they are going, they seem to be fine, but there is some irony there. I've had great luck with Zippo, Optimus, Peacock, and Brunton fuel type warmers. I really don't see much difference performance wise between the liquid fuel types, and the butane types. I prefer the liquid, but that's just because I have other devices that can use it, plus it can help get tinder going in very wet or very cold conditions. Multi use so to speak. One fill will last 12-18 hours. The down side, is once they are started, there's no "off". They go until empty. If you want 6h, only half fill. Again, easier to do with liquid than guessing how much went in from a pressurized can. It's just learning the tool. I found sticking them in an old 100% wool sock really helps slow their fuel consumption without giving up too much heat, plus it could aid in hanging in your shelter. Just make sure the heater is completely dry of fuel on the outside before putting it in a pocket or anything. They don't produce carbon monoxide at any dangerous rate, so I have no concerns using them this way. I was thinking for your use, either put the phone in the bottom of the sock, then the heater on the outside, Roll the top of the sock over the heater. I doubt they get hot enough to do damage to electronics, but they are metal, and you probably don't want that rubbing on your phone. Alternatively, you guys seem creative and crafty, so if you have any leftover wool bits from blankets, shirts, orphaned socks etc., a simple pouch with a divider would be cool. Well... warm, but you get the idea. I really think that in a cabin that may be left unused while you are off on adventures and such, conduit is really the way to go. Plus, you have TSC, and Harbor freight handy, so an inexpensive hand bender should be easy to get. It keeps the tubing from flattening, or worse, collapsing and kinking when making your bends, and if nothing else, it just looks better than inconsistent radius curves. In each section, run 2 length of fish string (actual stuff, not related to any kind of fishing line). One to pull your cable through that length, and the second to be left there should you need to run more wires in the future. Run it before making bends or installing that length of tube, it's just way easier. It's strong stuff, and inexpensive so great for other uses too. Figure out how many lines you will run inside the conduit, and that basically tells you how big a tube it needs to be, or that you need to run more than one if you don't want to mess with different sizes. Allow for adding at least one extra line in the future too. It's like gathering firewood. What you think is enough is usually good enough to get started, but unless you double it, you will probably run short down the road before you are done with your bush TV and cooking. I hope you do some in depth critiques, tips and tricks on that tent hammock once you get some more time with it. It just seems different enough to throw much of the current rule book of hammock use out the window. It does seem to be a really awesome addition to the world of Well Hung Camping, and with a little limelight, I can see plenty of makers inspired to come up with their own take and variations on it. Just like every other piece of equipment, there is a place for the overbuilt and bomb proof ones, weight be damned, as there is for the ultralight, super compact stuff. If there's snow, and I have gear, it's a safe bet much will be pulled behind me on a pulk or sled for example. So the weight/bulk issues really aren't issues in that case.
For Conifer forest I choose the Silky 2000. The limbs are small on these trees so the bulk of available fire wood is in the trunks and the 2000 is the way to go. Plus the added reach with extra length. Great set up you got going there.
Thank you! I lost my gomboy awhile back, so will be in the market for another silky. Was thinking about packing my bow saw for the time being. Would like to start doing some more bushcraft type builds.
Enjoyed watching. Think yalls weather got drunk and headed towards us. Snow gets any deeper your going to need snow shoes or a sled for your pups to pull you on. Have a great evening
Thanks Paul! Definitely got some room to run with all this stuff now, not to mention will actually be able to do some bushcraft. Pretty excited. Cheers
Another good one my brother! North east been getting socked with lots of snow and cold temperatures lately. Loving your style of videos. You should have a channel on UA-cam- oh wait you do lol. Stay warm and safe!
I’ve been waiting for you to do a review on this hammock tent. I’m a bit cheap so I looked around and found 2 on Etsy. I’ve yet to have them shipped from Russia and I know it will be some time before I get them but I hope it’s worth it. Thanks for the great video uploads and I hope things come together for your new home ASAP. Take care man
thanks Dave! I really dig the hammock tent. It is taking a little time getting used to setting up and what not, but it sure is a winner in my book. I have been in so many spots where the ground was too rocky to setup a regular tarp shelter or tent.
They are both quite nice. They should have more ratnik tarps soon. He said he had ordered more back in November and was expecting them to arrive January or February.
@@alexandergutfeldt1144 there is a documentary of an old Canadian survival film called "Survival in the Bush". Worth a watch. It is free to view online here www.nfb.ca/film/survival_in_the_bush/ Very primitive friction fire build. Pretty cool actually. Haven't seen it anywhere else.
@@EnduranceRoom I've taken a quick peek.. it seems to be dated (as in different culture, not out of date info) ... will watch the entire thing tomorrow evening (after 9pm here, I'll be getting up ~5am) Just to be clear, I have tried to light a fire with a bow drill and did succeed eventually. Based on that experience I doubt very much I could pull it off in freezing conditions armed only with a wool blanket and grit 😊.
Now that's cool man. The camo pattern is legit. No shame in luggin a tent or hammock if it helps you get good sleep and protection. Watch for the widow maker snow balls ..
Nice video once again. Since you guys are basically in a homestead kind of deal. You should check out a book I have. It's called "living on an acre ". Great tips in there. Be well
Thank you, James. That sounds right up our alley. Making plans for a greenhouse. The soil is pretty sandy here and growing season short, so it is going to take a some research to sort out. Appreciate the tip on the book.
Been a hammocker for the last 15 years been looking into wool alot as I find I get holes in my outer shell and can get could bought sum pack boots with a wool linner and love them saw your vedio from 3 years back in a great coat and started looking a wool ary clothes what are you though on them for sat around the camp fire and keeping you cozy over synthetics ? Many thanks Ben might also be a good video
Thanks Ben! Yes, love wool and canvas. I really like the gorka suit. It is canvas, water resistant and wind proof. Awesome woods gear. Great outer shell.
I've been looking forward to this hammock tent as much as you. Any issues with condensation? Also, any high strangeness since your move out to the deep woods? Sounds or sightings? Thanks Jess, later.
@@EnduranceRoom thank you, so much for the info, I'll be looking into that, I hope y'all are all settled into that awesome cabin, looking forward to your next adventure. JJ
Nice one, been waiting for you to use your Russian army hammock, definitely going to get one, I was considering it for a while, then you showed it in your last video, not seen any on UA-cam up till then. I also have the Ratnik tarp, I’m very impressed with it, a really well thought out successor to the plash palatka,. I really like a lot of the old Soviet kit, especially the Polish lavvu and the Hungarian lavvu, now if they had done a Polish size 3 lavvu in the Hungarian lavvu camouflage, I’d think I had died and gone to heaven! 😂🤣🤪. How was the hammock for condensation?
Thanks! I really like the hammock. Definitely recommend it. Condensation wasn’t a problem. Little frost on top, but that was it. With the vents opened up, it would be fine in warmer weather too.
I can put something together on it sometime. I do like it. Out of the Tops models, I would probably go with the #3. It is stainless and a little smaller. There is a guy on ebay selling trackers. His father was the original inventor of the tracker knife.
Its called Kinemaster. It is pretty decent. It lets automate the zoom feature of a clip, so you can focus on say, the left side of the screen at the beginning of the clip, and then set the zoom to the right side for the end of the clip. It mimics panning/moving the camera.
That Russian tent hammock looks nice! Awesome overnighter. What kind of backpack where you using? don't remember seeing you with that one before, is that also Russian? Take care 👍🔥🏕
Nice video! How are you liking the Belgian pack? Seems like a good value for the money. I've been tempted to buy one a few times, but I have too many packs as it is.
Thanks! I dig it. Its a little on the heavy side just for the pack itself, but the volume is incredible. The shoulder pads are really grippy, so they don’t slide off shoulders while carrying it. Great for winter, although where I am, the snow is getting so deep I may be going to a sled for a bit.
www.RussianColdCamo.com has them. I would grab 3 if possible. You can make a ton of different shelter combos with them, but especially a 3 sided tepee that encloses.
Jess good video. Seems like by the look on your face it was a lot of fun.
Thank you, Kris! It was a good time. Good thing I like snow!
Wow i love this nature and building a place Basic
Thank you Bob! Me too, my friend. Pine is my favorite forest. Love the mountains here.
Corporal sent me ...I'm digging it
I've just ordered one from Russia to UK...thanks for video after looking at various hammocks..hammock tents..suspended tents for months ...this is the one for me!!!
Love the hammock. A good way to pass a winter's night. Still jealous of all that snow. Safe journeys.
Thanks Opal! Its been awhile since I have had snow like this myself.

Thanks brother. I am digging it. Seems like its a sort of woodland variant. Looking forward to checking it out in the spring.
Good going bro.i see you are using your tracker blade.
Thanks brother, I really dig the tracker knife out here. It definitely serves a purpose. I think a good kukri would be nice here too.
@@EnduranceRoom oo yeah that will do very nicely as well
Do you produce these tracks... I love them, if I'm ever free in the 🇺🇸 would love to come see your homestead love from the uk
thanks James! Yes, I used to produce quite a bit of music before starting on this journey. Cheers
👍🏻👍🏻
Would you consider using tree straps with the hammock?
I wouldn’t be opposed , but the cordage does seem like a lighter solution.

Think you could pitch that thing on the ground as a tent if needed
yes indeed! pretty cool kit.
wouldn't pulling a sled with your gear be more beneficial? crazy stuff though and sick gorka suit ;)
Sled would definitely be cool. Making plans to build one. I can’t say enough good stuff about these suits.

How was the hammock without an underquilt? Did you feel like you lost any heat/insulation out of the bottom?
It was good. I used an insulated sleeping pad, which makes quite a difference I must say. It was $70, but well worth the investment.
I've been looking forward to this hammock tent as much as you. Any issues with condensation? Also, any high strangeness since your move out to the deep woods? Sounds or sightings? Thanks Jess, later.
Thanks man! Yeah, it was good. Little frost on inside, but not much. So far, so good out in the woods. No vibes. Feels good there.
Would you consider using a sleeping pad? How was the condensation inside the hammock tent?
Oh yes, absolutely. I used one in the hammock, an insulated Klymit. Great in the hammock or on the ground. Condensation was not a problem.
