Fishing And Hammock Camping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- Hammock camping in the woods with a bit of wild fishing for trout thrown in. A look at the hobo pocket fishing kit and other lightweight options to take with you back packing. Camp cooking on an open fire and a look at the British army 24 hour ration pack. All this and more with me talking shite as usual.
Damien you're a character. You make me laugh. You're witty, have good logic and commonsense. You're an old fashioned Geordie of the good kind. God bless you. From fellow northumbrian.
I love listening to tawny owl calls. Theres nothing more beautiful yet haunting than an owls call in the woods. Great vid.
Twit twoo twit twit twit twoo twit twoo , doesn't write as good as it sounds, we have a few around our way, less so now there's a housing estate been built locally. I'm hope'in the owls arnt effected to bad through the loss of there hunting grounds. It only takes a few small changes to effect the eco system of certain wildlife. Some don't care, twits they are , twits they are . Peace ur way bud.
I believe that you do an excellent, informative, and pleasurable videos of the surrounding area please don't stop. I enjoy this very much. Thank you for being there for us. Have a blessed day.
Damian....I love you!!!! I can tell you just LOVE to be out in nature. It's so awesome to see you laugh at your own jokes, make the best with what you have, the way you modify pieces of your kit to make it work best for you....you are DA MAN!!
I can't wait for your next videos!
Much love, Shorty
+Shorty Lesser Thank you Shorty, Plesed you enjoy watching and your comments mean a lot. I hope to upload a new video soon, atb, Damian.
+Fell Wanderer Yay!
and as a side note, I am female, so nothing to be worried about :)
I just get some weird comments back at times due to my profile pic looking butch. hahahaha.
take care
Thank you, brilliant as always, and all your other videos. You have a sly infectious sense of humour but its educational along with it, and of course its all done in the best possible taste!
A generous dose of humor ! Some good knowledge! And Scenery! Well done!!
always look forward to your video mate thank you for sharing
Awesome video as always Damien mate : ) I look forward to your vids coming up in my feed. That survival fishing kit looked spot on. And fair play to you on catching that fish and then cooking it on a fire you've started the traditional way! : ) Can't get a much better feeling than that!
And the British army ration packs are spot on, i bought a 10 pack off ebay for £90 over a year ago, its keeping me in camping food for a very long time haha : )
Cracking stuff mate, love the dual angle filming aswell, i can appreciate how much effort you have to put into it buddy.
All the best mate, Jay
+GoonieBushcraft Thanks, Jay., the ration packs are great value for the price, there are a few sweet things that I'm not too keen on but they are designed to deliver quick energy which include simple carbs like sugars from the boiled sweets to more complex carbs like pasta. I was spoiled for choice and there was enough food in one to last me two days easily.
Great video Damian. Could almost taste the trout! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hello Damian!
I love how you do the Time Lapse when you are setting-up & dismantling your hammock or tent with Great music!
Great video! Really nice trout. I wish we had them here in the South Alabama , U.S. No trout here. But a good variety of other fish. Mostly all edible and delicious. Keep up the wonderful videos of the sights and your excellent adventures. Make many more and I will keep watching and learning.
another great vid, thank you for brightening up my day. :)
With the hobo fishing rig. I found if you strip 3 to 4 feet of line off the spool. Then point the spool towards the direction you want and swing the line in the other hand you can cast pretty far. I also added circle hooks for easier hook sets. I've caught up to 15lb striped bass. Pan fish all day long. This system works! I really dig the tarp. Totally enjoy the vids.
+muddnyreye A longer line off the reel before casting would increase distance as the momentum of swing of the cast (centrifugal force) would go further
Great video ! One of the bests, maybe the best. Have to get out there again soon. Thanx!
another top vid feller! those ration packs are beltin, you can boil em unopened in the packaging or even lie em on the coals if you turn em often, saves on the washing up! ur vids were always brilliant an the're getting better!
Nice survival fishing kit Damien, and as for your bags well done! I think i will spring for another basha as the DPM ones are around 20 quid and can make plenty of bags, and a glue gun can help seal the stitching. Nice ideas, and you always keep them coming, thanks! Though am missing the TBS, lol.
what do we want to be when we grow up? big kids please! really enjoyed this, thank you, Tim
Nice one again Damien. Looks like a cracking spot you've found there and will hopefully dry up a little in the summer. I've been using the army rat packs for ages. One 24 hour pack can be stretched out over three days if you're careful and eat wisely. I take em when I go kayaking on an over nighter to save space in the boat.
Keep the vids coming mate, they are more than entertaining!!
All the best.....
Andy.
Great video +FellWanderer, the fish definately was the icing on the Camp.
damian; great video, always nice camping by a river and to catch some tea as well,bliss, lovely way of cooking the brown trout and that survival fish kit looks very handy indeed, cheers craig
Cool video mate, i'll bet that fish tasted amazing. Looking forward to the next one. Take care.
What a great video.The production,editing,quality and content of your uploads just keeps getting better and better.Thank you.
Very nice spot! Thumbs up and Greetings from Ireland! :)
Hiya Mate, cracking idea with the wild garlic and the trout, really nice size - thanks for posting and all the best mate. Nick
Another class video marra. Keep them coming.
brilliant mate love seeing the fishing with cool tiny set up and love the telescopic rod ,I recently bought 2 for grandson and myself nothing better than fresh caught fish on the fire cant get any fresher plenty protein oils fat and calories thanks for sharing ATB...colin.
Another great vid ! Thank you for sharing
Great video...I tell ya, when I get a notification of you posting a new wild camp video, it's like Christmas morning :)
Really enjoyed watching that mate...No bs straight up wildcamping.
Atb
Mike
top notch video Damian. well done catching and cooking the fish bet it felt good. Thanks for sharing mate keep the vids coming
+Ricketymanfilms Thanks Muss, I didn't expect to catch a fish not one that size anyway. I usually taste the river and earthy flavour when cooking trout at home, but having it smoked from the oak really made it taste great. ATB, Damian.
Hey. Another entertaining video! :) Been watching you from the start.. I'm out there a lot too. love it in the wild.. been to few places.. Just not that far north.. This year though for sure! I use various set ups. Mainly enjoy the VERY basic! Good to test yourself out! Makes you dig deep inside yourself and find out who you are :) When I used the hammock in the hills in winter. I put my multimat blow up air mat under me to use as insulation and comfort.. Works well.. Plus it spreads out the hammock so your not so lob sided! Going back being on the ground now! Feels better to me. With open tarp. See the views stars etc. 1 love Mr Wanderer ! ;)
U r the true no 1 wild camper my friend can,t wait for your next vid
another excellent video mate. keep them coming great work.
Thanks for the vid mate very entertaining as always.
Damian great stuff. Keep this up and don't concern yourself with repetitiveness. These videos are compulsive watching!
great video the trout looked good keep them coming all the best
enjoyable video as always, excellent skill on catching that trout and cooking it looked nice ,good location, you might like to try a blanket inside the hammock stop you slipping to the bottom ,look forward to your next video thanks for sharing
Love the video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the adventure Damian, quite enjoyed it. That fish looked fantastic! I really like your setup with the snake skin for your tarp and hammock. Thanks for taking us along.
-Jacko
Great Video keep this stuff up and ill keep watching. Thank you
Get in Damo!! as always superb mate!!
Really enjoyed this one Damian good catch made my mouth water and Tabasco party poppers well funny ATB Nobby
great video, thanks for cleaning up after yourself for the futures kids
+PHARRAOH Thank you Pharraoh, we do not own this beautiful and fragile world, nor should we think its ours do what we please. As custodians of Mother Earth for only a brief nano second in the existence of the universe we must safeguard and protect the environment for the future of everyone, ATB, Damian.
Great camp that trout looked sound i have them powdered fruit drinks in hot water with a bit of port ,,,quite nice sat round fire
ME dog fred jumped up to look around when them owls called in this vid..excellent vid Damian makes me want to get out more ..atb ..steve
Great video subbed and liked can,t wait for the next one.
What a mouth-watering trout! I really like your vids, man; thank you.
Hello Damian! I have only discovered this film of yours today. You must be an accomplished tailor by now. For this video, you did a very good job for a beginner!
I ought to know, as I worked locally making bags like yours and backpacks for a company who specialized in clothing and gear for exploring caves! Carry on and happy trails...
Glad you enjoyed it!.. thanks for watching.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Nice =)
Hey Damien your videos are fantastic, I love watching your adventures. This is where its at!
great to watch as always fresh fish awesome. still have a couple of ration pack meals left myself there nice but on the heavy side for longer trips. the hot choc is the best I have tasted. look forward to the next one take care mate.
+thegeordiefellwalker Thank you, I do like the ration packs and could easily be spread over 2 days not just 24 hours. I'm going to use it up gradually, suplimenting with other lightweight meals and give the kids the sweeter food as I prefer the more savory meals. Bought a dehydrator and thats the way forward for me, a really cheap way for making lightweight meals. ATB, Damian.
New to the channel, really enjoy the content. Thanks for sharing your world.
Looks like Stevie Wonder sewed that! lol. It wasn't bad at all. I can't even do that much. It's really weird, I can do just about anything except sew. I do fine with a needle and thread but for some reason I freeze at a machine. Crazy! It's like my hands are too big but I'm an artist with a brush and some oil paint. Seriously. My degree is in art. I bring paints and canvas roll and my gear and I go. When I can't get much painting done I mainly photograph what I have in mind and finish it up later on in my studio. I've been sick for a couple of days now and the thought of eating that "mexican tuna" , oh no! lol. What made it Mexican the yellow colour? There was a good stash of food in that box. All the wildlife was hungry around you, they smelt the delicious food and want some! I always leave leftovers for the foxes. I have some that live in the forests behind my home (I live at the end of a giant land trust, so only animals only a few farmers for neighbours) I leave them leftovers from dinner time to time over by the back feeders. My farmer neighbour feeds them and he laughs because they leave all his free range chickens and everything alone. Worked out well so I help out. I guess his idea was he'd keep the predators in the area stuffed and they leave his animals alone and it works! He's never killed anything and nothing of his gets killed. I buy his eggs (I don't think that's really killing though). Awesome idea with the garlic and that fish. Very blissful video! Enjoyed it completely.
Really enjoy your solo adventures Damian.
Great fishing spot you have there, plenty of trout in there!
Brilliant work on catching that trout and like the way you improvised cooking it, delightful video as always Damo ~Peace~
+Zed Outdoors Thanks Zed, didn't think I would catch anything so came as a big surprise when my line tightened and saw the flash of gold in the water. Knowledge weighs nothing and having the know how to improvise and cook an unexpected gift when all I had was a little cook set is what drives me to get out and improve my skills, ATB, Damian.
+Zed Outdoors Hey, haven't seen anything from you lately? I was watching you make great progress with the green wood chair! Those were beautiful chairs being made out there!
Steviewonder does very super stitching.The writing’s on the wall.Subbed by the way.
Must have missed this one, brilliant video as always. That trout's great and the rod looks excellent. Been looking for a decent travel rod but a lot nowadays are crap. It's amazing this has had over 7 thousand views, I started watching when you had 250 a few years ago! Felt canny star struck when I met you today down the river with the dog, didn't know what to say to the main man....should have got your autograph! I'm away in a couple of weeks to North Yorkshire, but would love to camp in the woods down the river. They're looking amazing at the moment. Looking forward to your next trip, Adam
+Geordie Wanderer Hi Adam, I've got some expensive fishing rods and still prefer the inexpensive 6 foot telescopic when it comes to a fishing trip along the woods on such a small river, the action ain't as good or strong as a 2 piece, but have caught many a fish on her over the years so is my go to setup being light and compact. Thanks for the kind words, ATB, Damian.
hi Damien, another great video as usual, keep em coming, atb veitchy64, PS try putting the foot end of the hammock a little higher than your head end, it'll stop you sliding down, cheers mate.
Tight lines and camping. You can't beat that with a stick.
Cheers for another entertaining video Damian and a nice fresh brownie cooked in ransoms for dinner, ya kanay beet it lad, nice one, atb, Paul.
great vid,love it
Excellent video! And thank you for you service time in the " S and S"
Yay new video! :D
Awesome camping spot and some great fishing. That trout was a beauty and just right for your meal, shame that you didn't think to fold away a large piece of tin foil to wrap it in, but never mind, there's always another time another fish. I like that rod you're using, can they still be bought? Thanks for sharing this enjoyable video and experience. Take care...
I think you can still buy telescopic fishing rods, Aldi and Lidl gets them in sometimes here in the UK so I'm sure the local fishing tackle shop will have them in, thanks for watching, atb
Hi Damien. I'm from Bedlington and have accidentally discovered your excellent channel! Imagine my suprise when you turned up with Davie Thomas who was an old friend of mine...The Cheviot Yeti! I knew him as Ewok back in the day, its a small world. Loving ya content and am going to start wild camping ASAP, might see you madmen around in the woods one day, you KNOW it meks sense!
Ewok?.. I'm gonna start calling him that and see what he says lol. Thanks for your comment
Great video, the trout looked fantastic well caught, enjoyed watching that!
i love ya man..michael from Los Angeles..your videos are great..cheer from across the pond.
Really enjoyable video Damien, it's been a while since I've visited your youtube channel, it's great to catch up.
SaS ha ha ha good one mate did that after my stint in the regulars lol Canny fish too ,,,them 24 hour ration packs have changed from my day lol hard tack biscuits and apple flakes and a tube of spangles lol,,,great video mate ATB Richie
awesome video... i need to try this wild camping
Thank you Freedom Spirit. Get out and do a bit of wild camping, you know it makes sense
watched most if not all your vids, great stuff,realy enjoy the fishing vids,would love to get amongst all that,i would like to see some rrapping and maybe even some game foods like freshly caught rabbit phesant etc,im not quite an armchair camper but i don't get out often enough,thanks for hours and hours of entertainment and informative imaganitive and funny vids cheers
I enjoy catching the odd rabbit but haven't been able to do that sort of camp because I don't have any permission on land to hunt. I do get the ocassional road kill pheasant so next time will do a camp cooking game, thanks for watching.. atb
Excellent most entertaining Damian - keep them coming I always look forward to your vids !
Mate ,you're not Ray Mears or Bear Grills . That is why I like your videos. I would do stuff pretty similar . Like the fishing .
Nice vid I like'd that survival fishing kit fantastic and the trout looked pretty tasty. I'd like to see a demo of you cod fishing with it lol
great stuff
brilliant mate I've been gagging for one of your vids…..well done mate your much better than AUSSIE TV MATE nothing but crap on the box keep them coming mate…..kind regards Phil
nice one mate the fishing was class looked a real nice spot.
+daddy camper Thanks Rob, its a good place to fish and camp. Had some big ones from there over the years and wanted to share the experience with you guys. Damian.
A couple of years ago i took my rod (Lidl with reel) with me to Sweden, hadn't fished since i was eight. Loved it and caught one small fish. Didn't eat it though.
But now, a few years later i extended my fishing kit with several normal (brand) rods from the recycle centre where i work. :))
This year i want to fish more often. (and eat them)
+Romin van der Meiden Lidl and Aldi get some decent fishing gear in from time to time and I own a reel bought from one of those stores which does the job well for the price I paid. I have what you could call expensive fishing rods but often resort back to my inexpensive telescopic rod because that suits my needs being lightweight and compact. Use whatever gear pleases you and most importantly catches you fish. ATB, Damian
Yes, and very afordable in comparrison to angler shops..
i have a lidl reel also, very small and light to take with me. Last year i took it with me to sweden and cought a fish. :))
Atb Romin
Nice one, cheers mate 👍
Cool Vid, really enjoyed that one. The trout looked tasty.
Your homemade stuff sacks looked pretty decent.
One piece of advise I would offer for future sowing projects is to make them inside-out. That way, when you turn it right-side-out all the hems and seems are hidden on the inside. just makes it look a bit tidier.
atb from sunny Derbyshire,

+timb171
ps. I always carry some jute twine from my local garden centre, it's dirt cheap, it takes a spark and makes good tinder in the wet weather and you can use it for tying up food parcels with it being organic it wont melt.
+timb171 The jute twine is a good idea , I have lots of cordage but isn't a natural material so might taint the food. Thanks, atb, Damian.
+Peak District Hillbilly I made a mistake with one of the bags by not reversing, I knew I had to do that but got cock sure and carried away in the process. I have lots to learn but am getting there, thanks for watching. Damian.
No worries man,
I wondered if I was telling grandma how to suck eggs, but I'd noticed the external seem on your stuffsack.
Still it was a canny looking bit of kit - I can't sow for shite, even with a sowing machine ;-)
You must hardly spend any time at home ,not that I'm complaining love ya vid's keep um comming
Hi Damian ,excellent video , i really like your hobo fishin kit. ive never tried a rat pack,be good to hear from someone who has.
You put a smile on my face when I saw you had uploaded anther Vid uploaded.
Purchased my GoPro Hero 4 silver after you recommended it on your last video comments. Got my tarp etc sorted so will be recording my first ever wild camp so watch this space. You may even recognise the area as I'm a Whitley Bay lad.
Free evening meal included in your room this time round' cane beat it!
Great vid Mate. Get oot and dee a bit a wild camping,,,,you know it makes sense"!
Hopefully you bring a bigger pan next time, good job!!!
I have no idea what you are saying, but it sounds delightful,lol.
Cracking video Damian, just come back after 5 days kayak fishing on loch Awe not one fish caught. cannot beat a wild brownie cooked next to a log fire.ATB Pete
+madDog Bushcraft Pete, the water is still cold especially up on the high ground, we are still getting blasted with cold air from the arctic so feels more like the sting in the tail of winter. Fish are sluggish when cold so are hard to tempt as they aren't eating much, their metabolism is slow. Wild brownies are educated and hard to tempt unlike the fish from my local river, the big fish I caught wasn't wild, just a last 2 season's stockie but had a yellow flank meaning he has been in the river a while. ATB, Damian.
Do you remember the "instant fisherman" that use to be advertise on the shopping channels on sky tv Damien? I always wanted one of them lol. Nice video. Thx Dod.
Really enjoyed this one, can you still see yourself doing a bit off ground dwelling of is it hammocking all the way??? Atb mike
fantastic video
Thanks for sharing Damian, another 'wildcamp' plus the fishing doesn't get any better. I think the improvised fish cooking turned out better than the chicken. atvb t ..
G'day Damien lad, top bloody vid was that mate, good effort. I would just say this, only in the UK could some prat in the fisheries department outlaw a bloody hobo line and setup. It's no bloody different from a rod and reel, same concept. How these cretins make a living is beyond me lad. Cheer'o and keep em coming. Regards Moose Down Under.
+mounty27 Thanks Moose, in England you need a rod licence to fish as well as a permit. A hand line isn't covered by the rod licence so is illegal. Pocket fishing kits are very effective in the right hands and even though a rod is easier to fish with, I suspect the powers that be don't want them catching on as back in the day they would be used to poach fish from wealthy land owners by the peasants so are not allowed.
thank you so much plesease, welcomlm,
great video my friend
top vid nice catch aswel keep them coming atb
Get on Damian I enjoyed this one!
It's been many years since I wild camped, all around the moors, but I think it's time to take my grandson camping now.
Great video ! Are there other trout in there or mainly brown trout ? Thanks,Peace
+Cragdwella There are brown trout and also sea trout in the spring and fall
as always damian, exellent vid pal, and with a bit fishing thrown in, u carnt beat sitting on a river bank fishing away , and also noing ya dont have to go home coz ya bed with a view is right behind ya, thats were its at m8, spk soon pal, ps glad ya enjoyed ya rat pack 😉 atb pal
+northeastbushcrafter Thanks John, love the ration pack, there is so much in there for 24 hours its unreal. Enjoy the trip this weekend, sorry I can't make it so upload and show us all where its at caus you know it makes sense... ATB, Damian.
i certainly will pal, pity you couldnt make the walk, but maybe next time bro, spk next week mate, im heading to nwb for the moot next weekend if ya fancy it,
hi damo the problem you got with the hammock is yours is symmetrical so you want it fairly tight and sleep straight, if you want to sleep diagonally with 30 degree hang you need a asymmetrical hammock which are defo comfier m8 if that helps
+mick skinner
+mick skinner Surely a 30 degree line on both sides of the hammock is still symmetrical?.. pulled tighter the angle becomes less but still symmetrical, or am I missing something?..
·
+Fell Wanderer DD tarps are symmetrical so they av to be tight to get a straight lay there not wide enough to lay straight at a angle at 30deg that's why you need a assymetrical to lay straight at 30 deg there wider so you get that diagonal lay, makes like warbonnet and Hennessey are good ones, with yours your better off keeping it fairly tight or you end up like a banana you know wat I mean
Spot on that,i make them hobo reels,i keep a fire kit in mine,hand compact kit to keep in the van
Atb
+MrSkooty1968 Thanks Scott, I've seen your firesteels and wood working skills mate they are very good. You get more satisfaction from making our own gear. You never know when those hobo kits will come in handy, I never feel comfortable unless I've got a knife or means to make fire with me at all times so have a small kit with the 5 C's in me car all the time.
+Fell Wanderer Yeah,i have fire kits everywhere,and plenty of firesteels as you can imagine,always handy to keep a small ferro rod,striker and tinder with your hobo kit
Trout fishing AND hammock camping? I might never come home...
