Hammock Camping by the Lake: The Ultimate Setup

Hammock Camping by the Lake: The Ultimate Setup.
Looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Join me on this thrilling solo canoe camp as I head off to find a secluded cove for the night. In this video, I'll be hammock camping and cooking up some mouthwatering meals by the serene lakeside. Plus, stay tuned as I share exciting news about my upcoming charity challenge to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
🔹 Finding Solitude on a Secluded Beach:
Setting Up the Perfect Hammock Camp: Watch as I paddle my way to a hidden cove, untouched by the crowds. I'll show you my tips and tricks for setting up a cozy hammock camp that's both comfortable and secure. Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of water lapping at the shore and the birds singing overhead.
Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Wild: You know me, I can't just go out with dehydrated cardboard food, I have to carry a fridge full of food haha.
For dinner, I'll be grilling up Welsh beef steak burgers that are sure to make your mouth water. And for breakfast, I'll show you how to make a hearty turkey sausage and egg muffin to start your day right. You'll be surprised at how delicious bird sausage can be haha!
If you have never hammock camped or even camped by a remote lakeside then this video might just convince you!
I do hope you enjoy this video, I know I did making it! If you did, please think about giving it a thumbs up, if you really enjoyed it, a sub would be awesome but what really helps me and the channel out is if you can share this video to like-minded people, people who enjoy our great outdoors! After all, it's free!

God bless lad on our own with carers rips relationships apart stay close and together

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Thank you matey, that's very kind. All the very best

[@rufusduck71]

I grew up on my grandads war time stories . Burned into my very being i heard and loved them so much . One of my faves was of a latrine dug into the ground behind the tents .with a board you could sit on and do you business off into the latrine trench below .one day a geman mechersmit strafed the camp sending every one ducking for cover . After itleft and every one reamerged from hiding .3 guys were found climbing out of the latrine covered in a platoons worth of mess .that put a grin back on my grandads face 😂. No one died thankfully .

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha what a classic Rufus, loved that! There was alit of heartache but equally I bet there were laugher too. Let's hope so. Thank you for sharing pal

[@rialobran]

I get my humour from my grandfather, he did the desert, Sicily and into Italy, got pulled out of there before Monte Casino for D-Day. When asked what the desert was like he said 'I joined the Royal Marines to go to sea on a ship, and there I was seconded to the 8th Army on a bleddy big beach with terrible fishing and the only ships were camels'. He raided a German parachute factory when asked about it he said 'I packed as much silk into my pack as I could carry...your gran had the best knickers in Cornwall for years' Buried him in the morning and hit the road in the afternoon to join you in Loch Shiel for the last charity adventure.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Oh mate what a legend he was. That was another fantastic war time story. I'm going to refer back to these stories next year at the same time to feature these in Tails From The Tent. Loved it and big respect to you Simon for saying goodbye to your grandad and then coming to us. Love ya buddy 👍

[@canoecycle7005]

Great video. The story thanks for sharing. I haven't commented for some time. But have been watching every episode. 👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi matey, hope you're well? I'm glad you enjoyed them, stories like these should never be forgotten. Big thanks for watching the content, I really do appreciate it pal

[@alanarmer8069]

Great video Ant,sorry about your situation mate ⛺️⛺️

[@nealbe]

Great video ant , some lovely messages in there. I've enjoyed that lake a few times myself, it can get proper choppy on there sometimes 😄. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the gig adventure 👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Neal, hope your well pal. Thank you and thank you for watching it. Yeah it's a fab lake yo spend time on, I wish I could have stayed the weekend but time is hard and can't be away long really. Thankfully I've hot the week in Aug so that will be amazing to spend time with the lads. It definitely can get rough on there your right pal.

[@andrewstennett3186]

Great camp out pal. It's good to talk and release some stress out and chat about things that are sometimes bottled up. Good on ya pal. Best wishes to you all and good luck on this very important fundraiser.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Andy, thanks matey. Yep 💯 mate, it's good yo get it out isn't it. Thank you mate, can't wait to get up there and on it!

[@tedwiley8215]

Sometimes...things like that are hard to talk about. You've got a good outlet with your online community. Obviously your whole family is incredibly important to you & when they're that important....they can be hard to talk about.....good & bad. Hang in there bro....I know what you're going through but you've got this. Good luck on the challenge. It's about raising money & awareness....but it's also about helping you to cope. Keep those memories of you dad, grandfather, & others in your pocket....they sure come in handy as life goes on. Cheers 🍻

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Very nice words Ted, I appreciate that mate. My family mean everything to me past one's and present you are right pal. Your right, the challenges keep my mind active away from the stresses of life and gives me a meaning because alot of the time I feel I have no meaning, maybe its what I'm going through, who knows but the outdoors, these challenges, you guys help me so much, you really don't know how much pal. Kind words... Can I thank you Ted for your generous donation to the cause, its very kind mate

[@tedwiley8215]

@AntSurviveTheNight .....making memories....that's your purpose. That's what life's about for all of us & also why your memories are so important to you. Keep making those memories brother. And just so you know.......(you're good at it). Cheers 🍻

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Thank you Ted, I appreciate your words pal

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Fantastic mate, another quest in a pakraft ha ha you must be mad..😂 Great spot again Ant, tucked away in there, I missed what lake you were on.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha hi Martin, definitely mate, sounds right that doesn't it pal. Yeah this is Ullswater mate, spent quite a bit of time on this lake practicing and paddling so only thought it right to announce the trip on there. Thank you pal

[@Conny79]

Its mad how things hit you unexpected. Lovely hammock you have there, i need a go next (summer only!!)

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Yeah it is buddy, a release value I'd say Leon. Yes mate, I'll pick us a good weekend and we'll head up on a Friday night and spend two nights, maybe head up to Galloway for the weekend

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

That is such a great time at the lake. Really wonderful spot. A peaceful time in the beautiful outdoor ❤

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Thanks buddy, hope your well. Yeah one heck of a beautiful spot this was, it's gonna be well remembered, I'll make it there again that's for sure, thank you as always pal

[@jonathanambler]

Touching mate. Never apologise for opening up. Respect to you x

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Jonathan, Thank you pal. Yeah a very emotional trip this adventure pal.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Nice one Ant. I'm due a revisit n a bit of trout fishing ont thowd Ullswater 🙂🎣👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello Rick, thank you sir. Mate, I truly believe there is no fish in that Lake lol

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

@AntSurviveTheNight Haha lol, I got an axe of Beavercraft too but went for the AX3 cause ive already got the longer handled Hultafors. The masks fit a lot better on the bearded heads don't they 👍. Good axes

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Oh nice one, yeah I love the BeaverCraft tools, good hardware, they will last me out I'm sure, just gotta liik after them ain't ya. The masks are good, great value for money pieces of kit pal

[@joehusband8479]

Good stuff Ant. Top burgers them mate. The tales from the tent were really interesting. I never met any of my grand parents; long gone before I came along, so it’s nice you got to listen to some interesting stories. Good luck with the trip and hope you raise a load for the cause 👌

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Joe, oh boy they were tasty pal. Thank you mate. Ahh right yeah it was a privilege to have had my grandad so long, he passed away just before me and the wife got married in 2007. He was a good man. Big thanks mate for your donation, you are a legend Joe!

[@todaysworldjw]

😀👍 Great vid. Love that you guys are taking on another HUGE adventure, I'm very excited, and I'm not even on it 😆 I believe that unexpected emotions are an indication of maybe not having confronted thoughts or feelings before, in a context that someone else might hear them?? 🤷‍♂️ 👍 I do like the wartime stories, from people who persevered them 👍 Where might I find a predicted plan of your route, if I'm in the area?

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi matey, thank you! Yeah I was planning to go back with Charlie this year as a treat for finishing school, just the two of us but I thought why not get a small group of us and do another challenge and raise a little money for a brilliant cause. Yeah, I don't know what it was if I'm honest, I wasn't feeling emotional at all but when I pictured both my grandad and his mate stuck behind a wall for two days it triggered something obviously. Yes, we definitely need to keep these stories alive and I'll be sharing subscriber stories next year. Yes mate, you can find our predicted route on the Just Giving page. Yeah if your in the area please come say hello and spend some time with us, it would be lovely to see you. Thank you so very much for your kind donation also mate, I've just seen it on the Just Giving page. Thank you!

[@benny_mc]

Great to see you out in your element again, Ant; canoes, campfires and top scran! Awesome to hear about your upcoming challenge. You'll have my support again for this worthwhile cause👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Ho Benny mate, yeah it's been a while, I do get nervous carrying so much weight on my own with my back but touch wood I felt real good on this trip and was way more confident that things would work out. I'd go so far as to say, someone was watching over me. Big thanks mate, your a true gent

[@t_poutsider]

Cracking 1 that Ant. Lovely spot to hide in for a good session. Excellent war time stories there, as you say keep them alive by sharing.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Tony, hope your well sir? Yeah stunning there isn't it mate, I'm very lucky to have it a couple of hours away. I could have done a week pottering about that lake. Yeah thanks pal we gotta keep them alive haven't we, out of respect for what they have done and are still doing for us. Thanks pal.

[@apollo12329]

Nice little beach that Ant, used it a few times in the past, no tissues used I might add😂😂😂 Great video pal, well done 👍 Donated🙏

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Simon, yes, it's gorgeous there isn't it pal, what a spot. I shall be going back I'm sure. Haha yeah it's mad isn't it, just pop them in your bag if you've used them and take them home, I don't get people, oh well it's clean now pal. Thank you so much for the donation Simon, we really appreciate it.

[@Vildmark]

Are they naps, barns, bread cakes or rolls?

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha! To be honest mate I call the Barms but for some reason I said baps on this one, think it just sounded right lop

[@susanbrowne9100]

It is a dreadful disease I watched my mother deterioration soul destroying you loose the person as they deteriorate and the n when they finally pass away my thoughts are with you and your family

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Susan, I'm so very sorry to hear about your mum, you are right, this is just the worst disease. I hope life will treat you kinder from now on Susan, all the very best, Ant.

[@TimmyBobinson]

Most major diseases can be avoided with diet. The pharma industry wants us sick. Sorry for your circumstances.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

I truly hope not. Thank you for your consideration 🙏

@@AntSurviveTheNight In a dank lit hole in the ground sat 6 tommies with a battle raging over their heads; They were feeling scared, low and dejected and at their wits end some thought to go over the top and take a bullet to be free, but then as if by divine guidance the image of an angel lit up the land - and they heard the sound of a distant piper playing Black Bear and they raised themselves up and prepared to meet Gerry over no man's land - and later at the next evening they were all there as if led by an angel.
