That's a nice emergency set up Blackie! I think a lot of people often forget the term EMERGENCY mean you leave all the creature comforts at home and go for the bare minimum to get you through the night. This kit will do exactly that! As you said this isn't for an extended stay or even a planned overnight in most cases. But it will most definitely ease the pain and discomfort of spending a night n the woods without a shelter or bed if the need arises. Thanks for the vid!
thanks ..yep thats the plan its a hammock chair /shade /rain gear..that can be pressed in a emergency to serve the bare min needs
Looks to be more than adequate blackie. Nice job good buddy.
Thank you! Cheers!
Try a 1/8th inch pad. You can cut 3 foot section off and use it as a pad for your hammock just for your butt and back for when it gets down to 60 degrees. Also it’s a sitting and kneeling pad and fire fan and whatever else. It only weighs one ounce and it should fit in your haversack with I’d guess four folds which is just one half an inch so it won’t take up much space at all. Thanks Blackie.
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
I carry a similar setup.....Wilderness Innovation poncho & Arrowhead Equipment Bushman hammock chair. Can’t say I would want to spend the night with that setup as it would really be fire dependent. Still cold with some snow here so more like 8 months winter & 4 months Mosquitoes 🦟.
i agree..here the skeeters would eat ya alive in summer..but as a hammock chair / shade for a haversack it works well
What a great set up, and under 5lb you can't go wrong. Like you said a great day pack. Loved the hot dog part lol..
Just to be off the ground is a bonus!
Set up fast and easy. Thanks again for another great video!
Thanks 👍
I swear by the wilderness innovations poncho it has channeled ends and can be a hammock also, check it out if you get a chance very good kit i own 4 of them at this point and always have one with me , chair , poncho, hammock, ground sheet, tarp simply awesome
Nice setup for it's purpose.
"Low of 70" awesome... LOL.
You got that right!
Thanks again for the instruction.
You Sir are so helping.
I practice you're techniques often.
Glad to help
Great emergency shelter for your environment Blackie, well thought out. I might need something a bit different. Thanks, you've got me thinking now on my own needs. I think I'd need a tarp or poncho and some heavy duty trash bags to stuff leaves in for a bed to get me off the ground.
Glad to help
Great setup Blackie!
Installing the zipper is a very good idea, the haversack should have already had it!!
I agree!
Woke up bummed,last day of my 3 day weekend.back to 12 hour 6 day shifts tomorrow.saw Blackies' just put 1 up,....eh day ain't so bad after all.Thanks Blackie!!!!
glad to help..safe journeys
Rotisserie like a hotdog. Love it! You sir are the definition of Smoothing it. Well done.
Wow, thanks!
Looks comfy. Add a light breeze blowing across you and enjoy a great little nap.
Sounds great!
Nice🙂
Thanks 😋
Thanks Blackie for this information and Great Video 😎👍
No problem 👍
Any chance for a vid on knots? I’ll go check your playlists but maybe you can head me in the right direction? I think you have an awesome channel Sir. Stay safe and GBU & your family.
i have done a few knots videos ..but i really do need to up date them
I got haversacks , now if I could walk far enough into woods to need it. If I do I would diffidently need the hammock !
i hear ya..there was a time i carried a 80lb pack up mountains all day..20 mile weekend trips..50 mile canoe trips..now the yrs have caught up to me..i can still do what i did at 18 but now i gotta pay for it for 3 days after i get home..safe journeys
@@BLACKIETHOMAS : I hear you and understand. My problem is I use to also and survived the enemy in Vietnam, but not my Governments ( that is what really PO's) me)Agent Orange they sprayed my platoon with in 1967. Once the toxin is in you, I guess it never leaves ? It works on soft tissue, like discs in your back, brain like tumor.
Now I wish I could just stand up straight and walk.

Older than dirt
Nice grab ‘n’ go day bag. I like it. Lighter than mine. I might look into a mesh hammock as an alternative to my “parachute” fabric day hammock. Thanks.

HOW ABOUT THE ONES OF US THAT CANT DO A HAMMOCK OKIE DOKIE BLACKIE YOU ON A FIRE RANGE LOL GREAT JOB BROTHER KEEP THEM COMING

Thanks Blackie. ATB Sam Adler
Although my system weighs more so do I if I got in your hammock I would be on the ground anyway so I carry two tarps and a couple of 55 gal trash bags to stuff and keep me off the ground and keep me dry. Besides my belt knife I have a stainless Mora knife I use for cooking only. I live in Michigan and sometimes it can get cold that's why the second tarp, I double it over and wrap it around me to keep my body heat close. The total weight of my bag is a little less than 6 pounds and attaches to my backpack for hiking and removed for exploring after the camp is set up.
sound like you have your kit working right for you..and thats the big point..carry what you need..and be sure it fits you and your needs..i have travel all over the u.s and if i were to live up in Michigan i would change many thing in my gear to fit those woods..it beautiful up there
I don't remember the range(s) around Ft. Rucker being that active. Is something going on? Oh, and Thanks for another informative video. Thumbs up, again, lol.
i am using a patch of woods on hanchey field flight path
@@BLACKIETHOMAS We lived in a trailer park called Briarwood Estates opposite Karen's Field, outside Daleville. It was usually a quiet place, except for the flyovers, you know. I don't remember a Hanchey Field, but after 20+ years, there are a lot of things I don't remember. But, I have to admit, doesn't that sound like pistol fire? Happy
hunting.
Those fish net hammocks were all we had in the 70s. By the 90s no camping stores had them. Late 90s I found 2 small ones at thrift stores. By 2000 a new full size one at Walmart. My small ones are great to carry as you demonstrated. They love to pull buttons off pants pockets. Lol. How long have you had that one?
i still have my first one from the early 1980's..the one in the video i got from a local surplus store 2 yrs ago and yes i think they still have them..kaufmans military surplus samson al. 334-898-1770 m-f till 4 pm
I would want a more substantial hammock.
there are many around that would serve..you know you and your woods best..pack the gear that fills the needs and gives you the comfort you want..safe journeys
hunker down beside a tree? Fire ants in bama must not have learned the tree trick yet. near every tree I see around here in south eastern Gawgia has a fire ant mound at its base it may be small but its there.
that why ya got to be a might particular in your choosing...lol
Did you get your poncho from Wal-Mart?
BAXTER The Jack Russell Uh, maybe it’s a serious question and he would like to get one like it? No need to get so fired up about it. It could be a snarky question, who knows? But, I suspect Blackie doesn’t care about it.
Tom Robison I have a OD green poncho I bought at Walmart over 20 years ago and it’s still usable today. I’m 6’-4” and it will serve me just fine as emergency shelter. Not sure of the intent of your question but if you’re being sarcastic this isn’t the place for it. If you had a legitimate question then I have given you a reasonable answer. I cannot speak for Blackie nor will I try but if his poncho was purchased at Walmart then I hope he gets as much use from his as I have mine.
@@baxterthejackrussell2334 the fact is, I like to shop at wall mart. As m1cajah said I would like to get one. They have good prices. Think before you react. The question was just a question. I enjoy Blackies post.
@@trynsurviven2440 Thank you. I have a blue one and jackets.
actually no i bought it from a hiking store 15 yrs ago...sorry i dont think they are in business nay longer..but i am sure amazon or ebay would have something that might serve as well..safe journeys.
