Went Hammock camping on a Amish farm Last night. Been wanting to do a winter trip for a while. This allowed mento not have to backpack out, but be just as far out anyway. Was a good night. About a hour into me laying in the hammock trying to fall asleep, I hear a amish horse and carriage go running by me on this long drive. A few minutes later Joe, the guy who owns the property comes back to where I have set up camp with the other guy. Apparently their family got scared last night because they saw my lights while I was setting up camp, and their dogs just kept barking. I was pretty quiet. Also I was a minimum of a quarter mile a way from their house. Well their family went running out into the woods because they were scared I was going to get them. Even the kids, like 9 years and under went running separate ways into the woods while being barefooted. It was 25 degrees last night. Man..... i apologized and said I should have told the family I had permission to be there, but Joe said no, I should have gone and told them. I think it took about 35 minutes for the 2 guys to find all the kids.
I would have thought that the Amish would still be allowed to protect their family with Firearms, because another Amish guy who lives on the same drive took a rifle out when his dog saw people on his property, which is a pretty good story as well.
Anyway, it was a cold nighy, but the -25 degree bag I have from Cabalas works very well. However why the hell am I so scared that coyotes are going to get me?😂 i heard them all night. Only one time have I not been scared of coyotes, and they were only 20 yards away eateing a dead deer carcous, but I think that time amish being scared cause of how funny my fear is. I will have to do a video out there camping one night. Yall would like the area.
