Apologies posted in wrong forum and can't see how to delete
I'm lucky enough to be joined on many a hang by a talented friend and his trusty baritone ukulele.
How do others pass the time?

274 vids I went out last night to try her out lol
Apologies I have tried adding some pictures but being a technophobe I have failed miserably
Firstly a massive thankyou to Bic for the plans and the instructional vid.
I'm a complete Novice when it comes to sewing and by that I mean I bought a machine and the first thing I did was this...
Just wanted to tip my hat mate, just putting the finishing touches to a bridge hammock heavily based on yours and looking forward to giving a try this weekend.
No sign of failure yet, I haven't had a night in her yet tho hopefully try her out this weekend.
Material isnt great but the concept works I think
After going down the rabbit hole of bridge hammocks and being a little miffed at affordable choices over here in the U.K I took a trip in the woods to knock up one on the fly with minimal kit. It...
Had a camp out 2 days prior with the nipper in the tent mate.
Cheers Mucker, you should see what the subtitles think I say.
As many of us are doing during lockdown I thought it only right to test out the hammock stand I threw together for a quick over nighter in the worlds smallest garden. Please forgive the half finished...
Have been playing around with some ideas I've had and knocked up a rough design. Over to the woods to give them a quick test.

I have had a great...
We have a special method for dealing with overners from further a field
I'm currently in training for the coast to coast walk here in the uk, This is an 18 mile section of the Isle of Wight coastal path and ended with an over nighter overlooking the sea.
I'm slowly but...
You'd be welcome around any campfire of mine mate, I'd even have a panjo with your name on it
Those death rattles are annoying
I'm the same, if it's fresh it's getting eaten. Cracking little copse but think it'll get a bit buggy in the warmer months. Nice to have somewhere I haven't got to worry about being caught.
Thanks for taking the time to watch, wonder what it tastes like
That would be an entirely different vid
Just been given permission to hang in a little private copse close by to me. Managed to climb into one of my most comfortable yet most forgotten hammocks (it's a beast in weight and girth).
Meat on...
I whacked a fig 8 on the bite on the rope attached amsteel whoopies to that and use the trailing rope for UQ attachment and utility line. I've used for a while now and although it does offer me a...

With Christmas out the way I was in need of some de-stressing. A quick call to a mate and we were heading into the woods.
Johnny was using my TW Green...
How did you get on with your Basha JT?
No diggity
I'd have one less dog if my steak went missing, couldn't see the deer it was like Rambo on all fours
Ago I around mate just a night off, they loved exploring the gorge and alike
Was a bit close, always kept a hammock between myself and the stag just to slow it down lol
While on holiday in Dartmoor National park I managed to grab an overnight hammock camp with the hope of capturing some wildlife and star trails. Didn't manage to get many photos but did have a "too...
I have put a vid up on trip reports showing the hang in use if anyone is interested.
Headed to the woods itching to try out my improvised bridge hammock made from a british army basha and it did not dissapoint. I fashioned an underblanket from a snugpak travel blanket and I was set....
Nice one mate, keep me posted on how you get on. They make a great tarp tent aswell. I couldn't make out the carrying handles on the pic. What dimensions does it have, it looks different to my old...
Nice work mate, I'm dying to try but everything I make looks like I made it.
Nice one JT. They are really versatile, spent a windy night on a cliff top under mine on its last outing I love the thing. Bit expensive over there tho.
As JT said mate, not sure of U.S equivalent but these ones are everywhere and cheap
I prefer company but still enjoy solos.
I'm quite lucky JT manage to get a lot of varied camps in here considering how small the place is
A follow up video showing the construction of my bridge hammock.

Cheers guys, Making a vid tomorrow and will post showing construction and loading.
I have been eyeing up bridge hammocks and various designs for a while now. But while out for a dog walk I thought I would have a go at knocking up a rudimentary one.
I got the measurements by...
I got it from ebay, there is a link in the video description but they are on Amazon
Although I love my Green Hornet and the Hennessy offers me a good nights sleep the most comfy lay I have is my 11ft TW Pocho/hammock/tarp. The only issue is the lack of bugnet. So while I wait until...
Cheers mate, it was a good albeit a bit boozy trip.
Got invited to a meet at a friends patch of land that he has turned into a great little spot. He has constructed a roundhouse, made a shepherd hut from an ice cream trailer amongst other things. All...
Took a pal out for an overnighter in a camp I have set up, he is interested in learning some new skills so we went over some fire lighting and the making of bannock.
Another night in the Hennessy...
After my feed being filled up with channels offering opinions and advice which can only be described as ropey at best I thought I would make a quick vid just highlighting a few things to consider. I...
Cheers Shug, first time in a long-time I haven't been pulling my hair out as they actually got stuck in. They'll be chuffed that the vid got a reply from the "shug" himself.
Samphire are the plant, already salty but taste great when fried off in butter. Normally eat them with freshly gathered razor clams, superb.
Getting a bit obsessed with the cbg since I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Cracking weekend tho and the setting insisted on some blues
With the continued hot weather I thought where better to take the kids than down to the creek for a bit of old skool fun and some creek dipping. It also enabled me another night in the hennessy to...
I'm going down the DIY route as much as possible as I'm as tight as a ducks bum.
