- Howdy Folks! This is my Onewind Tempest Hammock Review video! I bought all of the Onewind items due to all of the recommendations I received in the comments to my other hammock camping videos. This is the first in a series of videos I will post on the products I purchased.

For older folks who don’t like sleeping on the ground or are literally immobilized from ground camping, this is absolutely the way to go…hammock camping has given me the absolute best nights of sleep in the woods. Even in the winter with the proper adjustments, this is for sure my most preferred way to camp out. Thank you for continuing to grow my knowledge on this topic and for intro me to it many years ago!! Great info! Thanks Brother!❤❤
Thanks for your videoss. I watch them all! The hammock ridgeline should be taking the tension from the straps and be tight. You adjust the length to adjust the hang of the hammock. Once it's set, you should never need to adjust unless you want to change the hang of your hammock.
Great to see you again last weekend. If you need more coins reach out. Stay Strong and Keep the Faith.
It was great to see you as well and again thank you very much for the coins! I'm keeping the faith, sharing the word and drawing strength from The Lord! God Bless You Brother!
If you stuff the hammock in the stuff sack right you never really have to fully remove the hammock from the bag just to play it out of both ends but moving down to one end when you're using it I've noticed it's beneficial like when it's raining
Another advantage for leaving the bishop bag on is, you can actually stuff you bug net in it when you aren't using it. I'm rally liking my 12 foot One Wind. They also have a great customer service. I've been sleeping in mine every night for over a month. I sleep better in a hammock then on a flat bed. I've been hammock camping for over 8 years. I usually just roll up my hammock and stuff it in my bag. I do my tarp the same way. It's faster and easier to deploy. Why put things in a bag to put in a bag? If you get the tree straps too tight, it is harder to disengage the cinch buckles. I still prefer using the Becket hitches.
Thank you for the honest review, Brother !!!
Was wondering if I should pull the trigger on this, or one of their other hammock/bug net kits.
I have been using the Easthills Outdoors Jungle Explorer kit (hammock w/ straps, bug net, and tarp w/ guy lines and ridge lines) for a couple of years, and was looking into getting one with the bug net included, with a "bishop's bag", all-in-one system.
I don't use my hammock as much as to pay for a $200+ budget...especially, in the Chicago area...so am looking at One Wind.
I have their 5'x7' lightweight tarp/ground sheet (set up with 8'-10' of 95# cord from Atwood Rope Mfg. for ridge and guy lines, all fitting in it's carry sack, for a lightweight quick-to-set-up shelter or tarp, carried in my buttpack, with the LBE set up - much like yours).
Keep up the great work, Brother !!!
Thank You Brother. For the price, I'm happy with the hammock. I plan on adding my own under-quilt attachments to it. I've got more videos forthcoming on the other stuff and I'm looking at their winter-weight quilts for cold weather. I really like your ground sheet and tarp kit! Solid! I'm trying to do the best I can Brother. Life has been very challenging.
The camera was too far away to catch the details on the loops and prussic and bungee attachment segments.
Sorry Brother.
any advise for some one who is first timer?
Wow, this is probably a topic for a video series.... Some of the things I've learned through making many mistakes.
Practice with your kit and all your gear a lot before you go out for a weekend backpacking trip.
NEVER purchase anything without researching it thoroughly especially if it's expensive.
Stick to your budget. You can find inexpensive options for everything you need that is made well enough to last for a good while. As you proceed, you can always upgrade if you want to.
Whenever possible talk to others that have and have used, or have done and learn from their experience. If you have the opportunity to see items of kit in use or even use it yourself to truly see if it's something you might want to purchase yourself.
If you can, attend bushcrafting and wild camping events. These are treasure troves of knowledge and experience. You can take classes and talk to people glean knowledge from experienced individuals that are often very happy to talk about their experiences and their kit. Often times, they will give you a tour of their camp and let you see their kit items.
UA-cam videos that are produced by creators that do not have sponsors or do reviews on items they have not used for a long period of time can be a blessing. However, they are hard to find because UA-cam does not promote them. My channel has suffered from this. It's worth the effort to find them. I'm not saying you can't learn from the mega channels, you can. Often times, their channels are their livelihood and that fact "can" influence their content in a biased way.
I hope these suggestions will help, at least a little bit. Thank you for asking this question. I hope you have a great evening!
