Nice to see you back on YT Mari, even in hot summer you'll get cold in a hammock without an underblanket. Even if you use the best sleeping bag without an underblanket you'll get cold. This is my experience of many hammock camps.
Uh-oh…I thought I’d be able to skip the underblanket situ…doesn’t seem like so! 🙈 Thanks, Elvis!!! Back for good, hopefully..slowly finding more time in my hands as of late. Hope you’ve been keeping well!!
Welcome to the fold
Haha! I remember watching one video of you making your own underquilt or something like that. I hope I’m remembering correctly!
Hi Mari. Its Billy, Joss Thomas mate. Just thought that I would come along to your channel to say Hello x. Its been such a long time since Ive been on you tube. 2023 has been a terrible year for me and my family. I`m trying to get back into watching and making videos again. Great video as always. Just a couple of tips for you. 1. Put one of those heat reflective mats below you within the hammock. Hammocks are so cold even in summer. 2. I use a carp mat below the hammock, on the floor. So when you get in and out of the hammock your feet land on something soft and not on things like twigs etc. Love the hammock setup, especially with that tarp addition. Keep up the good work . Billy 😊
Great dinner recipe! Nice stick stove fire protection, rock AND aluminum. And the stove is big enough to give you a fire.
Spent one warm summer night in a hammock with a bug net and a blanket, in the back yard, on a challenge. Best night's sleep all summer. Got up once in the middle of the night and was greeted by the Pliedies and Jupiter. Magic.
Thank you! Yes, when I learned about the LNT principle, I try to be so much more careful now when having fire. Love this stove coz it’s compact enough but still gives me that camp fire vibe and surprisingly a lot of heat from such a tiny thing.
That sounds like a lovely night you had, must be one to remember waking up to that sight!
You needed an under-quilt to keep your bahookie toastie. And maybe also a top-quilt to keep your topside warmer.
Regardless that, it looked fun. Even the faff of putting it up looked fun for you.
(Edited: for grammar.)
I think the faff was the most fun part at some point! 😅 I felt like a toddler in a toy shop.
Thanks for the sound advise!!! I’ll bear that in mind. Haha.
Have you done much hammock camping?
@FunsizedEarthling Sorry, never done any hammock camping. The advice comes from all the videos I've watched here on UA-cam
But hammock camping does sound appealing if only because you're not going to get slugs and snails sliming you during the night that you could get from bivvy camping.
@@scotbotvideosah well, secondhand advise is welcome too! 😁
Yes!! Another great benefit of hammock camping I didn’t think of. 😅 This is your sign to get yourself a hammock and try! 😉
Yo.. 🙋🏻♀️ Have you tried hammock camping? I’d love to hear how your first experience went & would also really appreciate any advise or suggestions from more seasoned hammock campers! Any questions from anyone interested in trying it out, please don’t hesitate to ask. 🤍 This hammock is currently on sale on Night Cat’s website as of writing so hurry. Link in description box. ☺️ Thanks for stopping by! Mari xx
onetigris hmk net cut off... onewind down underqwilt n a zerofoxtrot woobie or snugpack poncho-liner for top cover...
Cheers Mari, i was wondering why u had the nightcat system rather than a std tarp, ridgeline etc,, but u explained it perfectly at the end of the vid, a great system for ppl new to hammocking, and that instruction sheet they gave u seemed very clear and concise with good illustrations also, hope ur doing well... ATB
Hey, how are you? That’s right, I couldn’t deal with complications and the standard way of hammocking just seemed a bit too much for the likes of me… 🤭 Appreciate you stopping by! Mari
Lovely video, great to see you having a wonderful time, the Lake district is an amazing place but may be not as nice as the food you cooked lol. Keep the videos coming. Steve😁
I've tried hammock camping when I was in the Lake District it's great my first night in a dd hammocks Front line, thank you for sharing amazing video 👏
That is awesome! DD hammocks seem to come up a lot, are they really that good? And are they expensive?
And it’s my pleasure..thanks for watching! ☺️
Looks an interesting system. I've got a DD frontline setup. Tarp, hammock, under-quilt and hammock quilt. It works really well, but takes up a lot of room and weight in the bag!
Hey, Andy! How have you been?
I can imagine! That’s what was putting me off trying hammock camping…the bulk & weight..as you may have noticed, I already have a tendency to pack a massive load of gear and food so…. 🙈
@@FunsizedEarthling I'm fine thank you, Mari. How are you?
Yes, I have noticed you generally like to pack quite a bit, which I totally get.
@@AndyMacaskill i’m well, thank you. Been in a traffic accident recently but on the mend now so all is good. ☺️ Have you been out much lately?
@@FunsizedEarthling gosh. I'm glad you are on the mend! I've only been out fishing for trout and foraging for chanterelles. No overnighters of late. Planning it though. Midge season is almost done. 🙂
@@AndyMacaskillseafood and mushrooms!! Yum. Get to it, Andy! Never mind the wee beasties. 😅
Looks like you had a great time. I bought a hammock years ago and it is still in the pack! You looked very happy. 😊
Oh no…how come? Poor hammock. 😅 Do you have the same reservations as I had..?
@@FunsizedEarthling no I just love been in my tents. The only thing I have reservations about is finding a woodland that I won't be disturbed in. 🌳🛏️🌳
@@ridz9532 undisturbed woods in the UK is a rareity, I must say! 🙈 Assuming you’re based in the UK.
That was different, never tried a hammock maself but it looked comfy enough, that seabass looked tasty never trisd that either 👍🏻,cheers fae Pat
Well, Pat…what are you waiting for?! Ha ha. Thank you, appreciate you stopping by. Trust you’ve been keeping well? Mari
Hi, it's good to see you posting again. I've enjoyed your previous vids.
At first I thought you set the hammock too high and too tight but in the footage in the morning it looked exactly right. There are some good tips and tutorials on the DD Hammocks website. I can recommend their hammock quilt. It's like a sleeping bag with a hood but you get in through the back. It's also good indoors when the evenings get chilly.
Your hammock set up is certainly impressive. I've not seen that one before.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next adventure.
Yay! At least I got something right. Haha! I thought it was a bit too high at first too so I made some tiny adjustments until I was happy & comfortable enough with hopping on it. Hammock quilt sounds intriguing….how DD hammocks have come up a few times on my comments tell me they might have a high reputation in this game! Thanks so much for the feedback and advise. Please keep then coming as I do intend to do more hammocking.. ☺️
So clad I found your channel 👍🥂
Welcome aboard! Have you tried hammock camping? Thank you for stopping by!
@@FunsizedEarthling ….no I’m to restless to sleep in a hammock, I want to start wild camping though 😁
@@henry9406please do! But be warned, once you’ve caught the wildcamping bug, you’re more likely to have it for life!
@@FunsizedEarthling ….. I’ve just bought a little van to turn into a mini camper van , so if I don’t like it I can run back to my van and sleep in it 😂
Hammock most of the year but soon will go back to the bivybag in winter...keeps things interesting.
So envious! A wee bit gutted I’ve only just tried hammock camping now. It’s great! Do you camp a lot?!
snugpak poncho liner w a belt (luggage strap out poundland) wearable duvet unbeatable
If you wrapped the straps round the tree a second time in this situation you got connection points closer to the tree.. meaning you couldve clipped the two end karribeaners of rainfly further up the strap keeping everything nice and taught.
Also, if you sleep in a hammock diagonally it makes for a much flatter lay, making side sleeping even easier...
You can sleep in that hammock without an underquilt and instead using an inflatable matt just like your using thats fine, however you might find you slide and slip off your roll matt. If you feel your bum cold, or you keep slipping off consider an underquilt but I think this nightcat hammock accommodates sleeping matts better than other hammocks
OMG! That sounds like a great idea, I shall try that next time! Was wondering why it seemed a bit saggy. 😅
Really appreciate the tips! And yes, the mat didn’t slide around, contrary to what I thought it was gonna be…I even had a foil mat underneath.
Have a lovely day! Mari
Love love love it, haha amazing
Glad you enjoyed it! Get on the mend quick so we can go dipping and camping!!
So now...we need to arrange an overnight paddleboard.. hammock and then paddleboard again haha..we need to get a date in the diary!😂
Hehehe! Okay, this needs to really happen real soon. 😅 Enjoy your weekend adventuring! xx
didnt get alerts again .. nice your bak
Looking into it at the moment. Im looking at the night cat. Just cane across you now. Its a shame you don't post regularly. Nice vid. new subscriber 🎉
Please do! I think it’s a great hammock for starters. It comes with everything and so easy to set up once you’ve done it at least once. Appreciate you stopping by and thanks for subscribing! 🫶 There’ll be more videos coming regularly. ☺️ Enjoy your day! Mari
The elaborate cooking always confuses me. That Pine forest is a plethora of Resources, if you know how to use it.
Great video, Mary! 🌟 The Night Cat hammock tent looks fantastic. 🏕 I'm tempted to try hammock camping now! 😊
