HAMMOCKING 101 WITH WALHALLA HAMMOCKS AND OUTDOORS

[@micah6-8]

Welcome aboard brother! My setup consists of an 11’, Hexon 1.6 Dutchware Chameleon hammock and Warbonnet Thunder Fly tarp Becket Hitch suspension and various quilts. In case you wanted to know what works for me.😁 I’m gonna have to check out Jason at Walhalla Hammocks. Thanks for the video and I hope you enjoy your evolution. 👍🏼

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Thanks my friend. This should be a fun journey. I’m already nerding out on all the gear associated with it. 😂✌️

[@YOBOgear]

You went to the right guy for good info! The learning curve is so worth the comfort.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Well done. Always good to have info before you buy. Look forward to see what you take on your next adventure. Thanks Crow.

[@DaveOffGrid]

Hammocks are daunting! Great beginner info! Learned a lot!

[@WallowaHikes]

I've been curious about trying hammock camping but totally ignorant. This is loaded with information. Will be referring back to this a lot. Thanks so much for this!

[@AeroFlix4D]

Beautiful video 👍👍👌👌

Height and shoulder width are big factors in hammock camping. Taller you are the longer you need it. Wider you are the wider it needs to be and you might prefer a bridge style like I do. I tried a few and settled on the ridgerunner but there are a few others. Bridge does add about a pound over the reg hammock due to the poles; you can get carbon ones though.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Excellent points. Appreciate you watching this. Crow✌️

[@MinuteontheMountain]

He's a wealth of information. I have a hammock, but still haven't used it.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

I was the same. I’m going to try it. We will see. 😂✌️

[@GoneFeralWithSquidly]

This was a great interview! 🦑

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Thanks Squidly! ✌️

[@j817madi]

Yes! Glad to see you are gonna give hammocking a try. It's my fav way to sleep while backpacking. Is my hammock setup a few ounces heavier than my ground setup? Yes. Is it worth it? Again, yes. I sleep like a baby, vs my back spasming on every mat I have tried. I've been eyeing Dutch and Superior's insulated hammocks to get my setup even more dialed in.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Appreciate you watching this video. Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, lots to learn in this process. After meeting Jason, I trust him with my choices on it. He really works with people to make sure they get what they need in a hammock. ✌️

[@OrvilFields]

Thanks Brad! I may try hammocking again?

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

You should. Is it a big thing in Japan?

[@Caveman_OS_Hiking]

Heck Yea!! Welcome to the dark side. Let me know if you get a set up and have any questions or want to do a hang. I've got a new hammock on the way that I cant wait to try out.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Yeah, I may have some questions my friend. Hope all is well. ✌️

[@Doc_Watson]

I bought multiple cheap hammocks on Amazon trying out different features before I spent a decent amount on a hammock with the features I wanted. Possibly the next time I upgrade it will be to a hammock with an integrated underquilt.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Been hangin for years and have no plans to go back to tents. For the very few times that I can't hang my hammock, I sewed 550-cord loops to the bottom corners for stakes.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Good idea on cord loops. Thanks for watching this. ✌️

[@1asphaltcowboy]

It’s a learning curve but trust me…. Take your time and do it right. Try different Hammocks. It’s honestly the best part and when you get it you’ll know it. I’m 53 also and I’ll never go back to a tent. I plan trips FOR the Hammock to go 😂

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Good to hear. Yeah, this has been a great process. There is so much into this process. I want to do it right. Thanks for watching it. 🙏

[@chris0895ozone]

Jasons gear looks great! Any chance he will be at Pinhoti fest?

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Good question. I’ll ask him. Maybe so.

[@GratefulTrekker]

I've tried hammocks but I'm still a ground sleeper

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

I’m gonna give it a try. ✌️
