Really good content. Would you please consider not having background music when you’re speaking. Maybe it’s my age, or my tinnitus, but I find it hard to follow what you’re saying. The hammock looks really practical and comfy, however as I’m a couple of stone heavier than you I would personally class it as a train wreck option. I don’t know if anyone has ever died via hammock but knowing my luck I’d be on that list. 😂
I woke up this morning and couldn't wait to see the next part of your journey Pete, so I sat up in bed and watched part 2. Not only was it a pleasure to see you again, but my day started with a smile on my face when you did your hammock exit... Brilliant. You are doing so well and like I said in my previous comment, you are very inspiring. In fact, I have been thinking of doing a RUclips channel with a similar idea, only mine is due to having cancer for the second time. I have always loved the outdoors, but chemotherapy really knocks it out of you. I have all the gear as I planned on doing the Pennine Way on my 50th, but ended up being diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma, so that put a stop to my plans. I was given 2 months to live if I didn't have treatment, I obviously did, but ten years have now passed and I now have Leukemia. Anyway, I am planning to get out there in the new year and use that gear. Some people say I should sell it, but if I do that, I have given up on my dream. The Pennine Way might not be achievable in my condition, but what you do very well might be. Thanks for everything you are doing and congratulations on your achievement. Stay safe and keep warm. All the best to you, from Ian
@@iandism Ian, wow what a story, I am so sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis, I of course do no know how that is going currently but I believe you have made the right choice to keep your gear, not give up and keep pushing forward. Sorry had to take a moment to continue responding, your story is quite an emotional one. Well if your really thinking of documenting your own story please get in touch, maybe we can even do a trip together sometime. Take care Ian, thank you for your kind words and sharing your story. Much love.
I certainly will Pete. Hopefully I can be ready for the new year. I haven't a clue how to do the filming side of things, or uploading and actually making a little documentary film (Not a tech head by any means) Going on a camping trip with you sounds amazing, unfortunately, I no longer live in the UK. I did live in a caravan in Yorkshire for 5 years but moved back home to Guernsey quite some time ago now.
@@iandism Well I look forward to hearing about your adventures and who knows maybe I'll do an island adventure in Guernsey sometime 🤔. Hope it has some nice hiding spots 🤗. Be safe out there.
Wow that's an amazing comment, thank you so much, if I can inspire just one person to make a positive change, that would be the best reward ever. Have a beautiful day.
"...,and my knees are crossed and my eyes are old and bent" (Monty Python). Good on you for pushing through the discomfort, hopefully things will get easier as you get fitter.
Good lad losing the weight and discovering wild camping. I’m 64 and got back into the camping about a couple of years ago. Good luck with the channel (and the weight loss). New sub.
That was amazing. Had to laugh at your graceful exit from the hammock. Well done on the weight loss, so proud of you. Can't wait till the next instalment. Xx
Great video and funny way to get in and out the hammock. Brilliant. Very good progress in weight loss. Keep going Pete. New challenge for you its cold showers for 14 days up to minutes. Shockers
@@slawomirpyzuk1961 cold 🥶 showers for 14 days? You trying to kill me? Lol I am already fasting 72 hours a week because of you !! 🙃 Glad you like the video.
Just found your channel and subscribed. You are a wonderful example to any and all of us who suffer ills of the body or mind. You have made a choice to change and now we can see your ongoing progress, Thank you so much for sharing these inspirational videos. Stay strong, stay well and safe. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law, Stell and Terri with Robyn.
@@Helen-and-Katarin-Juska-law Thank you so much for your kind words, it's not only quite humbling but also drives me to continue further and harder with my progress. I hope you enjoy tomorrow night's video it includes my next step up on this journey. Much love, have a beautiful day.
I'm so happy to say I've joined your journey from day one, this video was absolutely amazing and really did make me emotional at times. Best of luck and can't wait for the next! My G
get an under quilt an ditch the bivi bag.. open your sleepin bag most of way an use as a top quilt with a foot box... an no harm in havin d tarp nice snug n low this time year
Thank you, I have also subscribed to your channel just in case you decide to release another video, I actually really enjoyed your video it had such a lovely chilled ASMR vibe to it. Really relaxing.
@@maedken I have cut out all bread, pastry, sugar except 2 x coffee a day. No alcohol or sweets bit I never had a sweet tooth. Cut out red meat and very little other meats except plenty of fish. I also fast twice a week every Sunday night to Tuesday morning (36hrs) and Tuesday night to Thursday morning 36 hrs.
excellent vid. good to see you set the hammock at a sensible height, only set it as high as your prepared to fall, under blanket and a quilt would work best. my go to ridgeline for tarps is this ruclips.net/video/Sipxc4jFI9s/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ND4sGPAqAMQ/видео.html always have a tight ridge line and easy to undo and stow away, no fidling with knots, especially when its wet. some really useful content on that channel, most of it is survival related but still great info.
@@leonbarnes1402 Nice, thank you I will certainly take a watch. I realise I have much to learn about this and much more out there, but it's great to feel the drive and energy again to want to get out there and learn. Thanks again for the advice.
@@FatBoyBald-45 every days a learning day, never too old to learn new things. ive watch many videos and learnt a huge number of things, theres just not enough time to find all the good educational channels. every camp will get easier and that should keep the drive and energy up. great vid.

I've used a tarp and hammock for years, definitely some technique to it.
Oh really, any pointers or good advice always greatly received 😊

I've never been able to get in a hammock without a lot of comedy!
I think they are designed to tip us out. 😂

I am enjoying your video. You should probably get an under quilt. It will make all the difference. Thanks for your post.
Hey there, I'll look into it, thanks for the advice.
