Brilliant video, mate! Just got my 5.0, and it seems there are just minor changes. And I thought about it: It is pricey... !!! BUT... if you look at it differently, it's only 2-4 nights in a regular european hotel, and these lasts for many years.. not just one night.. 🙂 At least that's what I told my wife 🙂Had my first try-out night at my terrace last night, and I haven't slept this good in years!! Even if it was 2 degrees outside!! Can't wait to use it on motorcycle trips around Norway this summer, and the years to come!! Brilliant hammock!! And brilliant video!

Great video, not too many stoves. 😊😊My go to stove is the trangia 27 and take the trangia pan support so I can use the trangia on gas and have the meths burner to heat water. I have the trangia 25 which is about 30 years old but tend not to use that as much. I don’t carry the stove as my camping tends to be on a motorcycle. You can also get the billy pot, I think it’s about 2.5 litres which the 27 fits into which is great to cook a stew for 3-4 people. Hardly takes up anymore room.

Hi. Good material but... "Polish lavvu" isn't correct name of this tent. Name "lavvu" is from the Sami (Laponian) language and means a Sami tent, kind of lower tipi. In Polish we don't have and use this word: lavvu.. and when U are using it, it's a mistake and funny. No Pole or Slav call it "lavvu". It's like calling the Indian teepee or Lapland lavvu using the name: plash palatka... or more correctly the pwashch pawatka (Polish: płaszcz pałatka). I know that the name "Polish lavvu" has become popular and that this tent exists in the world under this name but ... I will describe briefly the situation that took place in the Polish Military Property Agency where such a tent could be purchased: when, out of curiosity whether he would associate this name, I used the words: Polish lavvu, the seller - soldier - did not know what it was about. He immediately knew the word "pałatka" (your "palatka"). Our army does not use this name "LAVVU" either ;-) Your "plash palatka" is an incorrect attempt to English transliterate the Polish name of this coat-tent. It should be "pwashch" or - making things a bit easier - "plashch" (Polish "płaszcz"), which means coat. Palatka (Polish "pałatka"), means tent and should also be written and pronounced slightly differently, because the closest equivalent of the letter "ł" is the English "w". The completely correct English pronunciation/transliteration of these words would be: p-w-a-s-h-c-h p-a-w-a-t-k-a (w as in "walk", sh as in "show", ch as in "cherry", ). Use a translator with pronunciation to check the pronunciation of these words: PŁASZCZ PAŁATKA in Polish and you'll understand what's going on. Płaszcz pałatka means coat-ten, a tent made of a mantle/coat, two in one. We call it short pałatka. Additionally, if you said "plash" (or plash palatka) to a Polish who doesn't watch English-language bushcraft movies, he or she wouldn't know what it meant, because the word means nothing. He would definitely associate the word plashch, especially if you pronounced it as pwashch ;-)
