Helikon Tex Bergen Hammock Camp | Full Loadout | Swagman Roll Hammock Underquilt | Small Backpack 

I love it as a poncho and it gets a lot of use at home too as a quick deploy blanket on the couch when I’m in The Dog House 😅. I’ve used it as a sleeping bag but find it a bit small personally, as I’m a bit chunky… but as an extra ‘quilt’ on top of a bag which would otherwise be a bit cold it’s invaluable. Thanks for commenting! 👍

Nice of you to say. Thank you too! 👍

Yep it's a very useful little pack. Thanks for the watch Steve! Hope all is good 👍

@@CottonBud not a problem. All is well with me mate, still kicking. Same to you and your family, hope all is good?

@@ScoutManSteve Can't complain either mate thank you!

Thanks Chris. First evidence of any deer in that particular wood for me - was very reassuring somehow! (PS left posh Sony camera at home for this one - was giving my rather neglected DJi Osmo Pocket 3 an airing. Fun little camera! Need to practice with it…) Hope all is good mate.

@@CottonBudah right yeah I noticed the pan. Great result then I’d say

Cheers Barney. Yep it’s deffo one of my better purchases, that pack - largely thanks to the recommendation of you and Des 👍

You’re very welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do 👌

Thank you - glad you enjoyed!

Cheers mate!

Hi Adrian. Yeah it’s a good bit of kit! Cheers. Rich 👍

There would definitely have been room for a wee dram! I'm trying to be good and cut down for a bit... but I can't say I wasn't tempted. Cheers my man!

Yeah I wouldn’t want to go much lower than that really - but I am a very cold sleeper 👍

I've had the swagman roll out in -4°C back in Spring this year at the Lakes in the UK. Lined with an additional two season sleeping bag though, plus wearing thermals and all the other cold hacks, the roll did great as an outer and between that and the light sleeping bag as a liner still came in at less weight than the four season bag. Ground sleeping in the Bobcat 1 as well, not off ground in a hammock.

Haha! I honestly never heard of him, despite him being the Canadian 'Bare Grills'. Cheers Lee. 👍

@CottonBud I can't believe that you'd never heard of him, he was my starting point for getting into wild camping, and his older vids on YT are classics... have a look when you have a spare few hours here and there.

Hi, can I ask what pillow that was please? It looked tiny. Great video, I'll watch more of your channel! Subbed. Please take a minute to have a look at ours...new to it still.

@@Pitchedup11 Thank you! That is a Klymit Pillow X. A bit rubbish for ground dwelling but is just about right in a hammock I find - especially when inside a buff to make it nicer on me bald bonce! It also packs incredibly small, little bigger than a cig lighter. Will have a look at your channel for sure! Cheers for the sub. Rich 👍

Thanks Mr Tim. Been too long! Hope all is good.

If you mean a hip belt for weight distribution, I think maybe it sits too high on your torso for that anyway to be honest. As for the loadout, good news - it’s in the vid you just commented on! You just need to watch past the first bit 😉.

Cheers Boss 👍

Thank you mate! Yeah all good, just that the heavens haven't aligned for a camp for a bit now. I'm never mad on summer for it anyway - looking forward to picking things up a bit now the seasons are changing. Hope all is good with you my friend 👍

@@CottonBud still kicking, so no complaints here. I’ve hardly been out myself this summer. Not sure why exactly, just life I guess, or as you say the celestial spheres at work. 😃 May the coming months see us both warming our hands over a campfire or two.

A mighty Amen to that! ✊

What a brilliant idea - I will look into it - thank you!
