  • This was improvised and I had only polypropylene rope for the tree with me. If you set out to do this bring straps for the tree.

    Very good interpretation of bushcraft as a art of living

    I have few of those "poncho/tent" for years now, but have never thought on using as hammock. TNX for great idea :)

    I was thinking about a canvas hammock, but I was afraid of using lavvu. Thanks for the movie!

    Excellent idea! Might I also recommend trying a US Marine Corp ripstop poncho. You can make various shaped shelters with (my favorite is a plow shape), but, you can also make an elevated camp cot with one too!

    That is great idea sir, I suppose you could mod it permanently by stitching some extra canvas hoops at the ends and use the straps to attach to the trees. Love the camera work in your vids cheers mate.

      Thanks. Yeah I'm saving up for one big lavvu mod later this year. Maybe I put the loops in there. Thanks for the idea.

      Tackar. Har de fått in nya alltså?? har varit slutsålt i ett par månader. Se till att du inte kör ner armbåge eller nåt i ventlilationshålet. Sömmen eller knappen kan skadas. lägg dig åt rätt håll.

    How much do you weigh? Could make for quite a drop should the canvas give way ;-)

    • @Swedwoods
      @Swedwoods  5 років тому +1

      too much LOL. BUT... this sturdy piece of canvas is ten times stronger and not likely to rip if compared to a modern hammock. So if you know what you are doing when you tie it you are safe. But you have to watch out for that ventilation hole in the poncho for the arms...dont put your elbow down that one, or some body part that presses down with all your weight when you get in or out. It will not rip entirely but you can damage it in the seem where the button is.

    Your Laplander saw looks great! I will need a new one soon, what is the make/ model?

    • @Swedwoods
      @Swedwoods  7 років тому +1

      This was just a 4 dollar saw from Biltema here in Sweden. My Laplander is what I usually bring but after 4 years in the woods its pretty dull so this Biltema saw was just a temporary replacement. Its very thin but bite good and is very small in your pocket. If youre not careful the tip will bend when dealing with firewood. It saws on the pull stroke. My plan is to use this little saw for detailed work in woodcraft later on when I get the replacement blade for my Bahco Laplander.

    • @danohara5954
      @danohara5954 7 років тому

      Awesome thanks! My current saw is a Bahco, I may just replace it whenever it gives in, but your Biltema seemed to cut like a hot knife through butter!

    A frienly advice: in a spruce/pine forest, you don't need to use tent nails.
