  • Storm camp in the Amok Draumr 5.0xl. High winds and heavy rain all night make for a lovely but soggy wild camp in Wales.

    100 percent brown sauce! I always take some foil or small butty bags and I'll squirt a bit in and wrap it same with butter. The burgers looked great. Think I'll have bacon next time and leave the porridge pot behind! I can't remember the last time it's not been noodles in a pot for you..

      Cheers dan. I don't think there's enough room under it plus the roof was partially falling in. That and I didn't have the equipment to sleep on the floor. Got a fairly good kip in that hammock though. Defo one of the best sleeps I ever get in that 👌

    Luckily for me, quite a lot of cafes keep red sauce sachets prisoner in little cups on the tables.

    That why you need a tarp sleeve and have your line wrapped around your pegs then you take out one peg at a time and hold the end drop the peg it in Ravel's and tie it out even on hight ind it's easy to do also a bit of reflective tape self advise on each pull out help you to see what ones to pull and and peg hope this help please take this as friendly advise 😂 great vesio tho

    As an uncultured American, I'd have to defer to you on both the bacon (it looks very different from ours) and the red and brown sauces, as i don't know what either are 😂
    I've recently gotten into hammock camping, and you're right about all that gear. The hammock itself isn't so bad, but add in the tarp and it's pitching hardware, the underquilt, and tree straps, it gets bulky real quick. One saving grace, unless I'm going with others i just leave the chair home and sit in the hammock. My pack is around 4 pounds (or 2kg I guess) heavier than when tenting, but it's so much more comfortable.

    • @NoviceWildCamper
      @NoviceWildCamper  10 месяцев назад +5

      Yes American bacon is nothing like uk bacon and I had a fair amount of yours on a cruise earlier this year with pancakes every morning 🤣 red sauce is Ketchup and brown..... well I don't know how to describe as I'm not sure but I think A1 in amercia? It's a spicy brown sauce that we put on meaty breakfast or bacon sandwiches and I think in America more on steak. And I agree, a little more weight is well worth the comfort. Plus I don't generally walk as far when hammock camping so doesn't really cause me an issue but I just love being under a tarp looking out from a swinging hammock whatever the weather 👍👌

    • @NoviceWildCamper
      @NoviceWildCamper  10 месяцев назад +2

      I suppose it depends on your set up. The Amok is a big hammock (plus it's xl version) and then the tarp on top plus the sleeping pad that fits it is easily more than double the size of my usual tent one. If I use the durston x mid its the size of the just the tarp on it's own so considerably smaller. 👍

  • @mcam5087
    @mcam5087 10 месяцев назад +1

    By brown sauce I'm presuming you mean HP sauce? The brown sauce we use in Australia we typically call barbeque sauce and is sweeter than tomato sauce. I prefer bbq sauce with a bacon roll, might have to consider your red/brown mix also 😋

    • @NoviceWildCamper
      @NoviceWildCamper  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yes HP. I didn't say that as some use generic shop versions 😂 red and brown is a good mix though 👌

  • @rannxerox3970
    @rannxerox3970 3 месяца назад +1

    Your issue with the tarp, I wonder if you stored the tarp in Hennessy hammock "snake skins" so that you could at least get the tree lines connected before pulling back the skins. Have thought about getting these for my tarp and maybe for my hammock.

    • @NoviceWildCamper

    Just red or brown? If only the choice was so simple. In our house, for bacon alone there's calls for mayo, chili (Siracha, Chipotle, Linghams), mustards (Colemans, Dijon), occasionaly various chutneys and even a splash of exotic vinegars. 😳

    Never slept in a hammock, mainly because I get a lot of lower back pain and actually prefer sleeping in a tent on the floor to sleeping in my bed...don't tell the wife😮 . Anyway, would a hammock make a bad back worse in your opinion. Burgers looked bloody good btw😊

    • @umaiar
      @umaiar 10 месяцев назад +1

      I think it really depends on the specifics of your back pain. I've recently switched to hammocks from tents because for me the hammock is far more comfortable. I've got pretty chronic lower back pain, and aside from being much easier to get out of a hammock than getting up off the ground, I actually wake up feeling better than I do in my own bed.
      But I've heard some people say that their back can't tolerate a hammock. Some of it may be the gear (hammock too short, not wide enough for a flat (diagonal) lay, or perhaps hung with a bad sag (no structural ridgeline, or whatever). And some of it may be how the bad back works.

    • @NoviceWildCamper
      @NoviceWildCamper  10 месяцев назад +1

      I actually have two collapsed discs in my lower spine and get a real bad back at times. So far I've had zero issues with back problems when hammocking yet have occasionally in a tent. Plus, you could get yourself an Amok or Haven Hammock which are totally flat lay and seriously the best sleep I've ever had camping. Not cheap but you can't put a price on comfort and a good night's sleep 👍
