Solo Hammock Camping in the Forest | Campfire Cooking with the Firebox Freestyle

Join me on my first camp of summer in the forest. It has been a while since I've done a hammock camp so for this camp I bring out my Warbonnet Ridgerunner. After hiking through the forest, I find a suitable open spot for the hammock. Once camp is setup and I collect some firewood for the evening, I make myself a nice meal and just enjoy sitting by the campfire and listening to the sounds of the forest. I hope you enjoy watching!

Long time subscriber first time commenting. You, sir, are fast becoming my favourite yotuber. I like Kent and Simon plus others too, but you are fast overtaking them. Thank you for the content, and a HUGE thank you for not letting advertisements play during your vids. I saw your comment on an older video and I gave it a thumbs up. It is 100% an immersion breaker.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

That is very kind. Kent and Simon are great! This is just a hobby for me and not a job so I definitely prefer to keep the videos uninterrupted. I completely understand others needing the additional ad revenue if this is their profession though. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 🙏😀. All the best

[@-M0LE]

Exceptional video as always so relaxing I’m all lethargic now feeling sleepy Amazing all that kit fits on one bag Waking up to the birds anti trees alarm clock is basically them telling you to get on with it they don’t get 8 hours so they won’t allow you to either 😂 What a great beautiful place to pitch up for the night love the hammock looks so cosy with the tarp and the fajitas were making me drool Still my fave channel by far I’ve started watching loads more camping vids but none match to your level of pacing editing and footage it’s all top tier and really touches my soul Many thanks Look forward to 2025 adventures sir 👍👌

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Really appreciate your thoughtful comments. The mornings are very early in the summers but it is nice to wake up to the chirping of the birds. I’m glad you like the pacing of the video. I do my best to capture the entire camp and show how relaxing it is. Many more videos to come in 2025 👍. Hope you have a happy new year.

[@OJ4HIRE]

I watched two of your videos using this stove configuration and I learned a ton my man, thank you

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

That’s great 👍. It’s a fantastic stove!

[@azclaimjumper]

Loved your opening line - "time camping isn't time spent, Its time invested" I wear a think pair of calf skin gloves whenever I'm out in the boonies. Has saved the hide on the palm of my hands numerous times. A ferro rod/striker - my all time favorite method of ignition, anytime, anyplace, never fails. 15:08; the chef begins. Yes, I "Like" all your videos. What's the final word on the camera that got wet? Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Glad you liked the quote. Gloves are definitely a valuable piece of equipment to have in the woods. Many years ago I had my gloves with me as I always do but I decided to just quickly snap a branch to throw in the fire and it went pretty deep into the palm of my hand. My own fault for not putting on my gloves and applying too much force to break the branch but my palm really payed the price. Took weeks for it to heal and was quite sore, given its position in the crease of my hand. Glad you like all the video 😀🙏. The camera that fell in the water is the camper I used on this camp 👍. After two weeks in the rice, it works perfectly. The lens however, did need to be replaced, but that was much cheaper than having to buy a new camera body. Always appreciate your comments! All the best

[@ShaunYoung-i3j]

Great content and camera work ( + editing ) . Such a refreshing change to have a chilled and calming channel with something which is actually interesting . Along with Gary Eats , Going Solo is easily one of the best channels on KZbin.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Chilled and calming is great to hear. That’s exactly what I’m hoping to convey on these trips 👍😀. It’s always incredibly relaxing getting outside for a camp. Happy to share that feeling with everyone. Really appreciate you watching. All the best

[@Professionalmoochers]

Loved watching this. Feels like years since we’ve spent time in the forest. We’re moving to the countryside this winter so I need to find myself a local woodland like this 👌🏼

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Camping in the forest is what I grew up doing so it feels very much like home when I do a woodland camp. It’s really hard to beat sitting next to a campfire in the woods. Good luck finding a nice woodland this winter!

[@madcat1007]

I love the way you say.............. "Oops must add a little hot sauce" A little???????? You must have an asbestos mouth. Great video as usual Todd!!

😂👍 I absolutely LOVE hot sauce! This was a relatively mild hot sauce compared to what we normally use at home that’s why added a good amount. Always appreciate the comments 😀. ATB

Im so glad you did take the camera. Im so interested in the whole hammock set up. I wouldnt know where to begin ! Love your vids they are awesome and so informative.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

👍😀 happy to share. The hammock I am using is the Warbonnet Ridgerunner with the Minifly Tarp. It’s a relatively light and compact setup. I’m not a huge hammock camper but this is a definitely an extremely comfortable setup. Really appreciate your continued support. ATB

[@angiejones5918]

Loved to see the red kite saying "that's my spot" OR "hello there!" A big treat either way.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Yeah they were definitely saying this is my spot get out of here 😂. I wasn’t able to capture it on camera, but they actually swooped down at me a couple times. There were two of them. I thought they were fighting at first until I realized that they had a nest in a tree not too far from where I was camping. They left me alone after they realized I wasn’t a threat. Beautiful birds. I probably would’ve picked a spot to not disturb them if I had known their nest was so close. Really cool to see them up close though. Appreciate you watching.

Everything about this camp looked AMAZING!! That freestyle looks wicked useful, especially for cooking two different vessels at the same time!! I was just curious if you had ever considered picking up a pair of tensa poles so you could hang a lightweight gathered end up in the Lakes District high country and not have to worry about pesky flat spots😄👍🏼. By the way… we love any vids you put out, hammock camps included!😊👍🏼. I’m a DD guy all the way! I know they’re a big hammock company there where you are but their customer service is second to none and that means a lot to me. That grub looked amazing! Holy smokes! You take care sir! NQU

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Always nice to get out in the woods and relax by a campfire. The freestyle is one of the more versatile twig stoves I’ve used. It has even more configurations than I’ve used in my videos 👍. I can never deny the insane comfort of a hammock but I prefer a tent when heading up north to the lakes. Nice to spread out when inevitably bad weather rolls in. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best!

Rad! As usual you always deliver us awesome content! Glad to read in the comments that your 📷 came out of its coma. I definitely could see and feel your worry and frustration after it happened. Regardless you still delivered a great video with the phone! I can relate as sometimes when I get super stoked with something and disaster happens it’s so crushing. That spot was super clever and perfect so I don’t blame you lol. Thanks for always bringing us solid outdoor content. I always gather tidbits of advice and ideas from all of your videos. So I appreciate you taking the time out of your life to show us your passion. Don’t fall into the “viewers upload pressure” as I think it makes a channel like your channel build more excitement when we see an upload randomly. It feels less saturated and natural when you post when you can. Way cool! 🤙

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I really appreciate that! I have two young children at home and I have always maintain the mentality that life at home will always come first. I know that uploading a video every week would be beneficial to the channel but as of right now I just try to get out when I can. And I absolutely love it when I have the opportunity to get out for a camp! If I ever forced myself to make a video for channel growth it could potentially jeopardize that love for getting out camping … and that just wouldn’t be worth it to me. I would hate for this to ever feel like work. It’s really nice to hear that you don’t mind waiting for a video. 🙏😀 So thank you! All the best

I really enjoy the hammock camps. That skillet or griddle pan or whatever it is called seems an awesome bit of kit. The bridge hammock looks very comfortable, doesn't appear there's any shoulder squeeze at all. I've only tried the eno skylite and it was less comfortable for me than my gathered end hammocks because of shoulder squeeze but looks like a non issue in yours. Plus those saddlebags look huge.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Glad to hear. I’ve always really enjoyed this hammock 👍. With the sleeping pad it pretty much eliminates any shoulder squeeze for me. The saddlebags are also very convenient. Anything I need is pretty much at my fingertips which is nice. Really appreciate you watching! Hope you’re having a nice weekend

The Freestyle is amazing! Dehydrated foods have a time and place for sure, and I still use them. But man, it's so awesome to take fresh, good food out with you and cook up some amazing meals. Filming adds a lot of extra work too, but you do awesome at creating a wonderful and immersive experience for the viewer. Thanks for the work you put in, and thanks for taking us along on some of your adventures. Cheers!

Did you really pack a cast iron pan?😂 any idea what your pack weight was? Love the hammock set up, have never tried a bridge hammock. Hammocks are so much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. My hammock set up is very close to yours, I use a Superior Hammock with a sewn in underquilt and a very similar tarp.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I did 😅. This cast iron pan is much thinner and lighter than a traditional pan so I don’t mind carrying the extra weight. Didn’t weigh my pack on this camp but I’d say it was probably similar to most camps if not a bit lighter. This is only a 37L pack and I was using my summer sleeping bag and the hammock doesn’t weigh that much so overall pretty comfy. I’ve had this hammock for a few years now. It’s very comfortable and I can sleep on my side, which is nice. I still prefer a tent, but I can’t argue with how comfortable a hammock is in comparison. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you’re having a nice weekend. ATB

Nice one again! Were you able to save your camera from the canoe trip?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

[@insaforpresprod]

Hello. Thank you for the new video. You said, hammock videos don’t go as well. Why is that? Regarding the cooking, I think you put your light under a bushel. I like cooking myself, so I know the whole process behind it. From choosing the right recipe, knowing and finding and buying the ingredients, and knowing the right way of cooking them with the right timing. Therefore I think are doing a great job! I would like to see much more of your cooking. Tell us more about the dish, about the ingredients, about the way you cook it etc. That would be great!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! Not sure why but hammock camping videos don’t seem to get as many views. I don’t hammock camp very often so it might be that they are just not getting recommended. But I’m not sure why really. It’s not that big of a deal I suppose. I always just go on the types of camps that I want to go on anyways. I’m really glad you like the cooking portion of the video. I typically don’t talk that much during this portion of the video because this is one of my favorite parts of the camp. I love cooking outside. I go into a little bit more detail about the cooking process in my recipes on my website. I really really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I hope you have a nice weekend. All the best.

[@insaforpresprod]

@@GoingSoloOutdoorsOffering the information on a website is great. It’s a permanent source of information. But, getting things explained by a real human is really nice. Two ideas for the cooking part of your videos. 1. Taco Tuesday. Put a vote on your channel prior to going camping and let the community decide which Taco you should cook (from three tacos to choose, for example). 2. Cooking a specialty from the place you live in right now or from the region in the US, where you originally come from. Looking forward to your next video!

Nice relaxing video. Thank you I must ask did you revive your camera? I really hope you did.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

It was a relaxing camp. Always nice to hangout by a campfire. After two weeks in the rice the camera is working. However, I did have to replace the lens. It’s working well though 👍.

[@bluezorro999]

Nice 👌🏻 Is that the Firebox XL?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! This is the firebox freestyle 👍

2nd question and apologies What make of hammock and or tarp please Love the side pockets and built in bug screen Many thanks Jonathan

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I am using the Warbonnet Ridgerunner with the mini fly tarp 👍.

[@elkayoutside]

Great video. Would you mind sharing the name of your tarp please?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! This is the Minifly tarp from Warbonnet Outdoors 👍

[@JbirdL2233]

What a beautiful camp. Do you have predators there? Where I'm from, we need to hang our food in bear bags and always keep an eye out. 👀

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks it was a really relaxing camp. There are absolutely zero predators to worry about here in the UK. Unfortunately, they’re all long gone. Back when I used to live in the states, I would have to hang a bear bag and cook away from camp 👍. In a way it’s nice but the lack of biodiversity is also really sad. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB

[@joyrosales2323]

Hi there! Did you replace your camera that fell into the water in the last vid or did it actually survive? Love your videos and content.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Fortunately I didn’t have to replace the camera! After two weeks in rice, the camera survived 🙌. However, I did have to purchase a new lens. But I’ve been pretty happy with the new lens and at least I didn’t have to buy a new camera! Really appreciate you watching. ATB

[@azclaimjumper]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for answering my question.

[@Leeslost]

Great video and food looked amazing, How did your camera go after your kayak island adventure Was it salvageable?? All the best

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! After two weeks of sitting in rice, the camera was saved 👍. However, the lens did need to be replaced. Appreciate you watching. Hope you have a nice weekend!

[@Leeslost]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors fantastic news about the camera , was it basmati or white rice?? 😂😂 I once dropped my phone into a 50 Ltr pot of stock , Rice saved my day to

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@Leeslost Nice. No clue what rice I used. I just grabbed whatever was the cheapest. Worked well though!

[@windjunky]

Dang cooking over a fire with an IPA. Got me wishing right now

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

A very relaxing way to spend the evening 👍

[@jbss7382]

Oh yes! Am so loving the pack you’re using? Which make please? Haven’t done very much on my channel due to ill health. But own decent kit (York Knife) and plethora of stoves Thanks in anticipation, McMillans Bushcraft (aka Jonathan).🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

On this camp I am using the Frost River Summit Boulder Junction pack. It’s very durable and has served me well over the years while either traveling or camping in the woods 👍. Appreciate you watching!

[@Toomuchgearguy]

Share away! Would you consider the Haven hammock? Been debating on a lay flat hammock, but not sure which one. Food looked amazing as always!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! I would definitely consider the Haven. I’ve been thinking about picking up a Haven or Amok hammock for quite some time just to give another flat lay hammock a try. But I don’t go hammock camping all that often and I’ve always been really happy with this hammock so I just haven’t. Maybe one day though 👍

[@az7az7]

After many trips like this without good food, I had an epiphany. Just because I am backpacking doesn’t mean I don’t care about good food.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

👍😀 especially for a single night trip. I always find preparing a nice meal only enhances the camping experience. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

[@ShavanoOutdoors]

Do you like the NEMO Tensor Extreme? I am thinking about purchasing one for a backcountry Elk hunt in Colorado this fall. Thanks for another video!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I have had the Nemo Tensor insulated pad for many years and I was very happy with its comfort. The Extreme is just as comfortable if not more comfortable and has been very warm. I would definitely recommend it. Appreciate you watching!

[@ShavanoOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@niam550]

what kind of hammock is that ? it seem it is unavailable in my country...and accessory also

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

This is the Warbonnet Ridgerunner. It is made by a cottage company in Colorado

[@mr10004]

What is the hammock called please? I could do with replacing my old one

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I am using the Warbonnet Ridgerunner with the Minifly tarp. It’s a very comfortable hammock 👍. Appreciate you watching!

[@LC-ig5hp]

Might be a silly question but didn't you cross contaminate the meat there?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Both were cooked on an extremely hot cast iron skillet. No need to worry about bacteria after that 👍. Thanks for watching.

[@andylittlebritain7680]

We enjoy all your videos, especially the woodland ones for me. Really hope you continue to take your camera on these camps.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Having grown up doing mostly woodland camps I always really enjoy them. Nothing quite like sitting next to the campfire and hearing all the animals in the woodland. I will definitely keep sharing these trips 👍😀. All the best

[@Toomsie]

Not too many campfires ruining your experience this time I hope!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Nope 😀👍. One of the reasons I love coming to this woodland. Very minimal traces of people. Thanks for watching!

[@user-fu9dd5vc6x]

Did you manage to dry your camera out after your last camp?!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I did! After two weeks of sitting in the rice the camera was fine. I did however have to replace the camera lens. But that was at least a lot less expensive than replacing the entire camera 👍

[@user-fu9dd5vc6x]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors That's great! We just love watching your videos - we snuggle up on the sofa watching you battle the elements instead of us! Your positivity is so impressive also. Hope your channel goes from strength to strength... it's the best ☺
