A Beautiful Summer Hammock Camp ❤ Trangia Stove | DD Travel Hammock Bivi + Night Sky Time-lapse

I absolutely loved trying out hammock camping (although I have a lot lot learn about how to erect it properly haha) and was blessed with the most beautiful night sky and sunrise ❤ It was so nice not using a tarp, so that I had full view of my surroundings, and really enjoyed using the Trangia stove - so light and quiet, I’ll deffo be using it again :D
It's 4 years last week since my first wild camp - I can't believe I'm only just trying hammocking!

[@WildBeare]

Heyy Guys! Thanks so much for watching this lil hammock viddy, I LOVE hammocking! ❤ I can’t believe it’s taken me 4 years of wild camping to try it. Just thought I’d let you know the camera settings for the night sky time-lapse in case you fancy trying it - this was in a fairly light-polluted area (bortle 5), so if you can get to darker skies, you’ll get much more impressive results. Anyhoo, they were exposure 13 sec / ISO 3200 / f2.8. This was 914 images shot consecutively on a Canon 5D MkIII with 16-35L lens, but you can use any camera that allows you to use manual settings. I was also using a tripod, remote shutter release and a lens warmer to prevent dew on the lens - gear list in description. Have a great day! Claire 🌿🐻

[@bigvito9339]

Damn girl u are so lucky!!!

[@markbuxton2368]

thats a great time-lapse, hope you take it up to Wales next time and show us some real dark skies, all the best

[@teeflo2757]

the time lapse worked really well, nice treat to see that. ty.

[@adventureswithsteve2981]

I have recently got into hammocks too , some tips i have been given are to get some whoopie slings from DD to make adjustments easier , make a gun shape with with your hand and the angle between the top of your thump and pointing finger makes the ideal 30 degrease angle your slings should be set too, make your head side 6 inch higher, when in hammock move your self so you are sleeping at a diagonal as this will make your back straighter so your not banana shaped, there is a really funny guy called Shug who is a hammock genius, i will post a link to his channel here ... kzbin.info

[@ACIDvICTIM]

@@adventureswithsteve2981 An additional idea is to double up some Paracord and run that through each end of the hammock and then knot it to form a loop or ring which you can use an additional Carabiner on between joining the Whoopie sling, so that any rain water travelling down the sling will drip off the Carabiner rather than making it's way to the hammock. I will try that 6 inches higher at the head end thing... Usually just lay further up the head end and that seemed to be sufficient. Just wondering whether raising one end puts extra/unbalanced strain on one end of the hammock -Probably fine if you aren't a heavy weight. Cheers for the tips/link!

[@kidda74]

The quality of your videos, the cinematography and production are getting so good! 😁👍🏻

4 years. Congrats Claire. U have a great channel. It’s fantastic to see women out there and not just middle age men. ATB. Grays

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Hi Claire, thanks for taking us with you. You are always the best of company xx

[@puravidamy4162]

I'd never go hammocking without my tarp. I'd have left my poles at home if it were a weight issue. Beautiful artistic shots as always. 👍

[@paulspinks884]

The time lapse video looked amazing. I love sleeping in a hammock. I have the best nights sleep.

[@MrWrob32]

Loving the channel. I really admire you, well not just you but your fellow solo wild campers. Think that yous are all so inspiring

[@lukedorrington7455]

Trangia is my favourite stove, served me well throughout the army, I pair it with the crusader metal mug

[@Neil_BT]

New subscriber of a few days ago and really loving watching the videos. The time lapse was awesome, looking forward to having a go myself. The fact you love what you do really shines through the screen, so I hope your channel continues to go from strength to strength.

[@davidbigwood9509]

Loved the time lapse Claire 😀

[@aleksandrkirilenko1687]

I know footwear preferences are very subjective, but I think the Renegades are some of the best boots you can get. I've been wearing mine non-stop for over 5 years now, I think you'll like em.

[@mickybetts7957]

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying the DD hammock! One tip I hear about is have your head slightly higher than feet to prevent headaches. Also I recommend getting an XL hammock sleeve. The XL enables you to keep the hammock and underquilt together and it all slides on n off like a stocking. Can even keep sleeping bag inside hammock too, all fits in. Then I Chuck that all in a large dry bag or stuff straight into backpack.

[@StevanOutdoor]

When you install the hammock you tie the feet end higher to the tree than the head end.

[@mickybetts7957]

@@StevanOutdoor interesting, I see the opposite said on several videos. But I'm no expert, I'm a noob. I'll try the feet higher way next time I'm out.

[@StevanOutdoor]

@@mickybetts7957 For sure watch more video's because that's how you learn. The torso including head is heavier than the legs. If you put your legs up you basically stay in position. If you put the head end higher you will slide down and get crammed in the foot section. Also look at the diagonal position that will make a more flat sleeping surface.

[@dangerpudge1922]

What a great video! Maybe some tricks I've learned about a hammock might help. 1. Get it a little tighter than you had, and make sure to keep the head up a touch. 2. Cheat comfort. You can do the 'diagonal sleep' but that's difficult to maintain through the night. A light inflatable pillow under your thighs will make a crazy comfortable position (like being in grandpa's recliner). Add an inflatable sleeping pad with the thigh pillow under the pad. It is crazy comfortable and makes side sleeping possible and comfortable. Maybe, if you like hammock camping, check out Hyke and Byke Antero or Crestone hammock bags. They can be used as a sleeping bag or as a 'cocoon' which also acts as an underquilt AND bag at the same time... and can also be used as a comfy standard tent bag. Great stuff.

[@Vespa123]

shooting ✨✨✨✨✨

[@michaelblack9813]

Really enjoyed that Claire Beare, some great shots.🙂👍

[@anettkordalnss4526]

The night sky was beautiful! Your videos are always so well put toghether. I did my first solo wild camp on Thursday - at the age of 56... I loved it, wasn't scared at all, which is very unlike me. Only bad thing that happened was that an ant bit my foot, which I'm now in the process of scratching to pieces - my god, it itches like a bitch!

[@tonystrange7224]

Wonderful video as usual Claire. Good to see you trying out the trangia burner. I love mine, prefer it to gas. And great time lapse of the night sky. Take care.

[@thelonemoomin]

Another great video. Well done on those awesome night pics. 😁👍

[@adriansavage1269]

Fantastic video Claire. You gotta love sleeping and waking up in a hammock they are soooo comfy. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Check out the DD super light range. Have fun.

Hi Claire! I'm a relatively new subscriber and really enjoying your channel. 🤗 What trousers do you often seem to wear overnight- they look water proof??

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I'd be too worried about a hammock coming loose and falling.Not too bad if it's the legs end but the head end could be serious!

[@rustybeddingfield227]

i judge a channel by its community and comments section, this one seems okay

[@outdooradventuresdave]

Hi I got myself hammock with net and il tell you what I've had the best sleep in it since had prob used 75% at time love the clear skys at night seeing the stars id recommend anyone to get an hammock .love from dave from Sheffield

[@terrysmith6676]

I've been using Fizan compact poles for a few years now and don't think I could walk with anything else. So light yet they are remarkably strong. Another great video, thanks

[@WildBeare]

Hi Terry, yeh they're great aren't they! Half the weight of my previous Leki's and feel really sturdy, I love them so far :) thank you and thanks for watching :D

[@78uksub]

100% babe, wow.

[@craigframe3313]

Great video, head torch slightly irritating. Happy 4th anniversary on you wild camping tho.

[@78uksub]

Those shorts, arooooga

[@AdamSmith-pk9xf]

Hi Claire. Re the bugs, have you tried Avon Skin So Soft. It's an oil spray moisturiser but there is something in it that the bugs hate. I'm a magnet for them but it works really well for me. Not expensive. Worth a try. Royal Marines use it so can't be bad. Me and my boy used it on our last camp which was next to a river....thousands of bugs and not one bite between us!

[@bobi2582]

It's good stuff!

[@WildBeare]

Hi Adam, thanks for the tip, sounds good! I've heard this come up a lot, maybe I should try some. Some people saying it doesn't have the same ingredients in it any more and doesn't work, some people still swear by it, think I might give it a shot see what happens :) I always prefer to avoid the really harsh chemicals if possible. Thank you for watching :)

[@GreencampRhodie]

@@WildBeare Avon SSS stopped working for me. Next best has been "Smidge", with Antisan or similar kept for the much fewer bites i get. Vit B1 (Thiamin) worked in NZ for sand flies.

[@helidude3502]

I believe it has that “deet” stuff in it. I think chemically it is similar to “off” spray, just a different fragrance. Been a couple years since I compared labels. Read the labels and decide what is right for you.

[@DW-dd4iw]

I agree it works well, but you need to find the bottle marked "+ jojoba" as the current version isn't effective.

[@rickyswain2403]

Something about your videos that just makes me feel relaxed and calm.. I always look forward to seeing your new adventures ☮✌ Congratulations on the 20k+

[@victormonster4658]

Get yourself a UCCO candle. The smoke emitted off one of the candles keeps those pesky bugs away!

Beautiful images, beautiful music, stunning time-lapse sequences! Well done, m'dear! The Trangia is a great stove. So quiet and peaceful. It may not be as fast as an iso stove, but who's in a hurry anyway, right? Thank you, Claire, for another beautiful, peaceful moment in time! :)

Great vid.... It's good to see you getting into the hammock side of camping... It made me giggle at the part when you was in the hammock saying "it's just sooooo comfy" hahaha we know that feeling so well 😁 since we got hammocks we haven't actually slept on the floor since.... Anyway much love.. And welcome to the world of comfy outside sleeping 🤗

[@boxlid214]

Don't be afraid to sew your own custom hammock. Dutchware has a lot of handy hardware/fabrics, and so does Ripstop by the Roll. It takes a little trigonometry to do the math building one with a integrated bug net (you cut a hexagon shape), but it's nothing too difficult at all. First one was a prototype, second a massive 12ft long and 6ft wide one for my gf and I, and recently made my third, which is a two-layer hammock, but custom red and black print for the outer layer (red n black is my jam lol). Instead of another heavier fabric on the inner layer, I used a black calendared 0.75oz ripstop, so basically it's like sleeping on silk sheets and more wind resistant. There's so much you can customize with hammocks :]

[@jannagel2893]

And even if you can't be bothered by sewing one yourself: the chameleon is amazing! I have slept in it every day for almost 1.5 years now and it is still going!

[@jackmaverick5481]

I really like your channel. Can I respectfully make a few suggestions? It looks like you could use a longer and wider hammock...I find that a ten foot long and about five foot wide is perfect for most people and then a hammock ridge line for more sag makes for a good flat lay when you lay diagonally. Happy camping.

[@razifmahathir2437]

DD Frontline XL should do the biz. Chuffed to bits with mine. 3 mts x 1.8 mts so there's acres of space to stretch out and side sleeping is no problem. The spreader poles that come with it do a fantastic job of keeping the bug net way above you. The zip up bug net worth its weight in gold especially out here in tropical Malaysia and no doubt equally good agaist midges in the UK.

Nice new gear Claire. I love Lowa, I still have a few new pairs of issue GTX mountain boots. Nice to see a trangia.
