Lovely stuff Kevin. That hammock set up looks really ‘dialled in’ and super cosy. That said, o wouldn’t fancy your chances if the wolves were after your rashers!
Beautiful for sure. I would certainly enjoy hearing the wolves in the distance, but not so sure if I'd be feeling the same if I were to see one. Fantastic camp for sure! Sure hope to be able to actually visit Finland one day. Awesome!!
@@snowcelt it was colder earlier , could hike fully loaded with a jacket on , sun came out a bit , overcast . Hopeful of a good sunrise , lost thermometer on way up . Really enjoyed watching your film from the tent .
@@snowcelt all is well If I was going to do a live , it was after 1000 subs , and it was to be at that spot . If only the sun god had played ball .. It means I've got to do it again.. my little bird friend dictated the start point .. he is a character.
Those tracks were most likely dog, possibly a hybrid type. Coydogs as they're known here. You can tell by the claw marks and the splaying of the toes. Wolves and coyotes will have toes all pointed forward, no splaying outwards due to better musculature. Generally the claw marks will be not as pronounced either, as dogs claws will not be as worn down as wild canids.
Thanks for your info and knowledge. Wolves are fascinating. 👍 I had heard about the wolf-dog hybrids here and also I wondered that the prints weren't bigger. Without accompanying human tracks I doubt these were dog tracks. Stray dogs are not a thing in Finland, the winters are generally too harsh.
Fair enough. In heavy wind and blowing snow, I would hang the hammock low to the ground and set up the tarp to touch the ground and have doors in it. Then again, I would check the weather forecast and probably avoid camping in such conditions altogether 😳 Hyoh!
Great to have your temperature challenges all sorted now! Looked a lovely spot to spend the night 😎
It is! It was a good spot apart from the scare when the howling started.

I thought of that too. I put my rashers in a bag and hung them high in a tree just in case. I even thought about keeping my knife in the hammock 😳

I know what you mean. However, not seeing them but knowing they were out there and could maybe see me scared me more.
@@snowcelt can't imagine how creepy that must have been
Wonderful, watching from a tent here in Ireland .
You picked a beautiful day. Perfect little set up Kevin, a pleasure to watch
Thanks, glad you liked the vid. Where are you camping tonight and how are the conditions?

Great idea to do a live show! Your tent opening looks like a large flat-screen TV 😅 Did you get home ok?

Unless the size was vastly larger, wolves have large paws after all.

So you CAN use a hammock in winter. But I'm never gonna be a hammock user. In severe wind and blowing snow I want a tent on the ground.
