Why has it taken me so long?? I've tried hammock camping for YEARS!

[@englishwoodsman]

I still love tent camping 😅😅

[@BulldogBadger]

Me too I need to get back out camping soon

[@Linda14369]

🌳🔥Hey Daniel, hope you and your family are doing well! still binging on ALL of your videos 😜 It's actually more like feasting than binging😂🥩😂 lol! I just wanted to say I'm glad you enjoyed the hammock this time. To REALLY *ENJOY* any camping experience, *comfort* is key!!! An English WoodsMan once told me that 😆😂🤣 lol!!! It's gonna be another 6-8 weeks before I get back out there. I've moved so many times in this past year or so, now I'm waiting on a proper flat. A permanent*home* hopefully 🤞 But I'm most definitely gonna #BE THAT PERSON. (thanks to you) 👍👍👍 THANKYOU 💯 P.s, I've never hot_tent camped before, but I've watched and learnt things from how you do it, but do I start straight off with an immediate hot_tent? Or build up to a hot_tent once my confidence grows???

[@axelthorn2263]

Yeah tents are awesome but hammocks definitely have that place

[@axelthorn2263]

PS I've had a message saying I've won but not sure if it's really you so can you let me know thanks

Dan, I’m a long term subscriber and yea I have seen the difference in your later videos compared to your old ones but, thats just how it is, don’t ever apologise for it, it’s the evolution of your channel, you are more confident in front of camera, the quality is better, the content is better. Just keep doing what you’re doing, we’ll all still be here watching, and, don’t listen to those who want to put you down, for whatever reason, you still have a core of followers who will keep bigging you up and watch everything you do, you make us laugh, make us think and most of all, you entertain us. Just keep it up buddy and we’ll keep watching.

Your hammock has a Ridgeline (the line that goes from one end of the hammock to the other end). That means that no matter how tight you have your straps, the hammock will hang the same way no matter what. The only thing that can change is how high up your foot-end of the hammock is compared to your head-end. Most people like to have the foot-end a little bit higher than the head. That is the beauty of the Ridgeline, because it stays the same no matter how tight you have it, or how far apart the trees are.

[@volleytheory]

Agreed. What Dan should mark is the ridge line. I believe those onewind hammocks have adjustable ridge lines, so if he’s happy with that lay, keep that ridge line the same length.🤘

[@w01feyes]

Yes Dan, I regularly hammock and a ridgeline is the best way to get a consistent setup and level of comfort. Glad you enjoyed it so much, it's a game changer!

[@stephenlambert9826]

I don’t think that’s how a ridge line works,it doesn’t ensure a comfortable hang no matter the position of your straps it acts as an indicator of the tension in your hammock and let’s you know you need to move/adjust your straps

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Finding that perfect hang is a game changer for hammock camping!!

[@christinescharwatz2328]

I hope you are still going to do camping videos. I just can't get enough of them.

[@paulkennedy5021]

Of course your channel has changed. But your down to earth personality hasn't changed. You have got better. You learned to do things different and the channel has evolved and the subs have grown. Your doing it right.

[@dennislindenpellinge]

Keep making outdoor videos just the way YOU want! 👍They are real and honest! 💪 Ignore all those who complain about one thing or another, they apparently have no life of their own...All the best! 😀

[@andycarter9456]

Here here.

[@wendywhittingham3045]

Things change over years Dan mate what ever you are doing weather it’s different you are still you I do love the dark night cooking camps so very glad to see this one however you are still being you and don’t change ya doing great mate and that stake yum yum talk about flamed grilled it looks well nice 😊

[@landooutdoors]

Great video again Dan, I am just at the cooking stage and looking forward to seeing how it turned out.

[@freeforester1717]

Try 83% of the hammock length as the starting point for your adjustable ridge line length, this works great for most folk to find lovely flat lay across the hammock. A survival foil emergency-type blanket or a piece of Mylar cut to size and placed foil facing upward, towards the underquilt but sandwiched between the underquilt and the underquilt protector will throw any lost heat back towards your body, and act as an effective windproof insulating layer too. 👍🏻

[@elizabethjohnson1976]

It’s only natural to change as you grow and become more confident it’s a good thing x

[@heathertxuk]

As a Texan, I approve of your grilled steak & veggies but some tortillas & salsa would make it perfect! I like all your videos. You're down to earth, funny, and I always learn something. The UK is beautiful, you're so lucky to camp there.

[@irvsstella]

Never apologise for changing, welcome to the new you.

[@stevenrielly240]

Just a wee point... mark the straps only if ye can aye get two trees exact same distance apart every time to get the same tension, but keep up the good work.

[@raynarnslr1966]

Looking forward to seeing what you're new channels about! Stay safe Dan atvb 👍🦊

Glad you've finally found a setup that works for you! I still need to get out for my first hammock camp just need to find the time :-)

[@Matty-Travels]

You're videos are just great mate. You know how much I like this channel and I've been around from when you had just a few thousand subs.

[@BulldogBadger]

I think the under blanket protector helps in keeping the heat in and the wind out

[@mtbalot]

You've got more brass than me, putting yourself out there on social media, just to be constantly critiqued. Whingers come here to offload LOL I guess this channel is therapy for them Baaaa hahaha, Good job 🙏

[@deanoboland]

Your channel has changed for the better mate. Your channel is one off the best on KZbin for this content. Keep the videos coming buddy

[@nigeljones2657]

Hi, the tree strap covers as you describe are best known as "Snake Skins" which allow for quick and easy storage of the hammock, also allows a quicker set up from storage. Hope this is of help.

[@jamiep1992]

great video best channel on you tube in my opinion look forward to your new channel also keep up the good work dan..

[@oshiforb7445]

Each time you hammock camp, it will be different because each distance between trees on every camp will be different from the last. I hope that your new channel takes off. Good luck with it.

[@Lisa-ju6vy]

Hi dan,i like the fact that you feed the fox's,i do in my garden everynight.However give them raw meat not cooked meat it's better for them according to my vet...just a point.x

[@ecttreker9816]

Cheers Dan👍👍

[@austieoutdoors9763]

no one can get more down to earth than you r kid but it makes a change from the usual tent camping but as soon as have just bought a new hammock covacure and a new tent a cloud peak 2 which i havn,t even been camping in yet because i got them last week lol but we will as soon as it stops raining. oh thanks for the tip on the strap covers to stop the water dripping dwn into your hammock because i seen a video were it happened to someone and every video i have watched no one mentions them and i didn,t know what to ask for so thanx again r kid 😊

[@phil1953]

Another good wee down to earth honest vid Dan,was making me hungry watching you scoff down that steak lol.🤤

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

😊looks good. Thanks for sharing 😊take care

[@GavTatu]

i made myself a 3 metre hammock, and have been having some great sleeps in my garden. as i get older, it becomes more comfortable !

[@ewengillies9826]

Your hang is tied in with the distance your trees are apart as well Dan. Good to see you get it to your liking you've had some practice mate. Bushyboy Oz.

[@alanslade2319]

Right been watching your shows for about a. Week now. Because of grizzly gaz . I’ve watched about 10 so got a lot more to go. The first one I watched was the foot steps and yea they were foot steps. Because I do some ghost hunting and watching that was bloody scary stuff. Great to watch but being there would be different. Can’t wait to see your new show. And some hot camping. Thanks again for all your help in camping stay safe and see you soon AkA Night owl from Luton 💯🍻😱🇬🇧👍👍

[@davidrawlings3460]

Love the way the channel has progressed Dan and you have got more confident over the years don't change. Have you been in contact with me in an older post?

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

Best hammock is the onewind. Love it. Even the highly expensive stuff from the US I bought I found myself coming back mostly to my onewind.

[@BrendaBlystone-ub1fr]

Hi amazing to see another amazing camping 🏕️ video again yes

[@jeffreyallen1314]

I know nothing about hammock camping but looked comfy..🏕 camping for me.. Great vid again Dan..👍👏

[@Micky-74-v6f]

Dan. I keep my DD hammock, dd underquily all together and it all fits inside the DD XL snakeskin. Then I squash that into a drybag. A tarp would also fit but I keep that separate incase it gets wet.

[@bobclark7211]

Measure the gap from one end over the hammock to the other end of the hammock. The tree straps will changed depending on the thickness of the tree i would think

[@johnking5730]

Hi Dan, change is for the better in my opinion as your experience and confidence has grown. You are still open ,honest and above all just normal like the rest of us. Hopefully the comment was not critical but an observation. If it was critical don't take any notice, just carry on with carrying on 😜 keeping it real.

You've won a prize 🎊🥳

[@MadDogSurvival]

Nice job as always brother! I’m pretty sure you just need to measure the head end to the ground and the same with the foot end to the ground. The tension or length will be the same. Best wishes mate 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏽😎

[@bigcronos124]

Love your videos. Maybe get some movement activated trail cameras so you can see what goes on around your camp as you're sleeping.

[@sojacquim]

Another great vid, loved it!! 😁

[@CrunchyTire]

I dont really watch camping videos besides to see a review of an item I want. But your videos are more about talking and conversation which is what I like. Hearing your experiences rather than edgy walk by shots of the camera for 20 minutes 😅. I usually put yours on when Im doing other things like this morning Im making coffee and getting dressed listening to this with BT headphones.

[@gavinwilln7571]

Measure the distance between the ends of the "sling" part of the hammock, that will set the bend/drop. Keep a bit of string as a measure.

[@NathanAtton]

Keep doing what your doing mate, top man 👍

[@kokadjooutdoors620]

Love my one wind airstream hammock. It’s my go to when not camping with my dogs

[@kokadjooutdoors620]

Plus have the camo and earth colors for those that don’t want to stand out

[@peteraitken6494]

Nice camp Dan steak looked brill mate all the best and take care 👍👌🔥🔥❤️

[@BourneOutside]

For me in my Onewind, it is always a diagonal lay for the best sleep. But as I am a fidget in bed, I could end up any old way. Gotta say though, I’m having some amazing sleeps in my cheap old Covacure hammock of late. 😊 I need to get out in my onewind again 😉👍🏼

[@michellemoores6327]

Thanks

Wow thank you

[@anniejones1839]

Theres definitely a knack getting into a hammock, can be an entertaining experience 😊

Nice one Dan 👍

[@Truthwillalwayswinoverlies]

Min 26:39 🤣😂 you're hang of the hammack thoughts made me giggle i don't know why. dan you're a funny guy 😁

[@BulldogBadger]

The secret to cooking on that grill is only cooking over hot coals, and not an actual fire

[@billmitchell7731]

Another like from me buddy. I always enjoy your videos. Especially the steaks 👍🏻😂

[@RonOutdoors]

Nice little camp mate we all forget little bits but thats life and enables us tocadapt and overcome. I like to set my fire and let it burn while im setting up thats gives it time to burn down to embers and gives me a controled fire for cooking. I love that grill set up too.

[@chrisplayle2631]

Im camping down gower rhossili tonight, using the oex bobcat 1 man tent tonight, really enjoy your videos 🏕️👍

[@kwameopoku5479]

Yes mate👍🏽

[@PaulGlancy-fp7ob]

Just a wee thought Dan, an idea for another Channel would be you going out, whenever, with one of your subscribers, I know time would maybe be tight, but it would be a great way of introducing 'novice' campers to get out with someone that they now probably feel quite comfortable with. Rather than give away gifts/prizes, it would be great to see something like that. If that's your new Channel idea, I swear I'd no idea. Keep up the good work. Love the video's. I'm in Central Scotland, like 10 miles from Loch Lomond. So camping here is all around us. I'd not live anywhere else.

[@joeoaktree]

Use the Para cord and tention your tree straps so the para cord is tight above the hammock. Experiment with the length of the para cord to get the hang right. Then it'll be the same everytime you use the hammock.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

There is absolutely nothing like climbing in a hammock and getting a great night's sleep... Once you find that perfect hang? Enter Sandman... As the great Metallica says! 🤘

[@axelthorn2263]

Thanks again for another good video😊

[@axelthorn2263]

Hi just a bit just a bit cautious in case this is a scam if not then thank you plus it says you've got no videos on this channel so is this your new channel

[@williamirelan9332]

Change is inevitable, especially when you learn from experience.

[@KeefsCattys]

Brilliant stuff !!. really enjoyed watching . You should maybe take a can of cheap dog or catfood for the fox . Save you giving him your food and better for him too .

[@kennethcarter5720]

Use the rigid ridge line. Hammock will be the same every time. Shug explains it well. Have a look

[@phillipcolgin13]

As in saying you've found the right hang and marking tree straps you have to find the right distance of trees right diameter too

[@Bushybazoutdoors]

I've been watching you for about 8 months or so and think you come across as a true to life genuine bloke who enjoys his outdoor life, ive not long started a channel myself , it was watching your videos that gave me the inspiration, no were a good as yours but try to keep them true and honest, been honoured if you could give them a watch see what you think, great video as usual

[@TacBlades]

Great video loved that, i think that cooking platform needs like a 1 cm lip to the edge would really help.

[@richardpearson9337]

Good video Dan, glad you like it. Mark those straps mate I don't know why the idiots put adjustastable straps on em, eh.

[@NikkiEvernight]

Dan, the only thing that's changed is you've got more confident and experienced and more practised with editing. Be weird if you were exactly the same. Good video as always mate :)

[@rufusduck71]

I have the underblanket protector also .i dont use a under blanket i find in summer just my sleeping bag and the protector is enough to keep my back and bum warm its also makes for a very light weight set up . If i need extra insulation under me i use a 3/4 self inflating air mat with just a bit of air in it so it doesnt move around too much . Cheers good video

Dan, change for the best. You've just got more confident in your videos. Keep it up. Dan, any news on remaking your wood stove? Sounds like you have really good time with vegan

[@daleoutinthestix6298]

I'm a side sleeper so I've never got on with hammocks, got to leave a bit of grub out for the wildlife though 👍😂

[@DogheadOriginal]

That’s a decent little grill/bar b thing.

[@edwardcandlish3641]

In future dan, try using your plate and grate over some coals from the fire, it will be easier to manage the heat load when cooking, its much easier to manage without lots of flames 👍 great video mate 👍

[@damoblake6000]

You sir need a fixed ridgeline, great mod for the perfect hang everytime no matter the tree width.

[@timfinley4436]

You need to tie a ridgeline onto your hammock between the suspension points. Most have an 11ft ridgeline but some are shorter.

[@janinewakelam]

Love the video! Im a big fox 🦊 fan . That would have made my year!

Really nice set-up Going tent camping in a week I think I'll take my hammock along just in case there is a proper spot.. I need to try out a new adjustable ridgeline strap I had made

[@tigermint69]

Hi @EnglishWoodsman. Still loving the channel, especially the steak cook. But a quick question about this video: what is the name of the fire grill/ BBQ you used and where did you get it from? Many thanks in advance

[@englishwoodsman]

amzn.to/3ZNqeJP

[@donaldbarr8300]

Well now, that's a darn sight better than noodles, wouldn't you say!?!

[@DavePT157]

Sweet how the fox was that relaxed

[@liarslairs]

Marking the straps only work if you find 2 trees exactly the same apart, same thickness, etc.

[@Richard.357]

Measure the tree distance roughly by foot paces . Keep the hammock straps to the distance you like. After a while, you'll be able to determine the distance you need . Should be bang on every time.

[@peterwhyte3534]

I love my tent camping wanna try hammock camping out just don't think it's for me dan but your changing my mind buddy

[@leestruthers25]

Dan you shouldn't apologise for change mate, it's called growth and development you and your confidence has clearly grown and so as the channel things change and it's about keeping current and up to date. I am new to watching your channel and have started watching your older stuff as well as the new stuff. Keep doing what your doing 👍

[@matvaughan8446]

Another great video just wondering how you and vegan outdoors man met have you ever thought about getting a hover x1 drone? It's had some great reviews

[@tourcheverybridge]

I lay diagonally so does me pal… oviously in his own hammock!! and it’s only worth marking the straps if you go back to exactly the same place, I wish we did trees be in different distances apart, it will affect how it hangs , de de de adjustable straps, go to your tree straps, come in with a cold nap I have them, and they’re brilliant and very lightweight.

[@donaldbarr8300]

By the way, leaving scraps for the fox is fine, just no onions or garlic though.

[@michellemoores6327]

I feed five foxes every night. Raw chicken drumsticks, raw lambs or ox liver and I could NOT care less what anyone else thinks. I will NEVER, EVER stop so keep your opinions to yourself. You feed Mr Fox if you want to. S/he will be greatful.❤

[@xl_wraith_lx5595]

the perfect hang isn't just in the tree strap tension... its also to do with your Ridgeline... that little line sets the amount of sag your hammock gets no matter how tight your main tree straps.... 😎😎😎😎😎😜🙃

[@NickMorrell1544]

I think your videos should evolve as you evolve as a outdoorsman, youtuber and a human being. It really is the nature of youtube. Your channel is growing and so are you! My only tip.... keep some water for your morning brew 😂

[@anniejones1839]

I was thinking about Scott last night, I hope hes doing ok

[@kennethwilson8633]

Pace off the distance between your trees and try and get that when you set up…The thing that really determines how your hammock hangs is a properly set ridge line once you get it dialed in your hang should be consistent. Glad to see you are back to food porn videos ask Dan how to keep the tomatoes and vegetables on the grill . Have fun stay safe.

[@expat0149]

Wow to get that close to a wild fox ....nice :)

Nice one Dan, enjoyed that as always...!👍 Nothing stays the same, everything changes, U do wot U enjoy, wot we enjoy too & U do it well...✔️ Could also get abit boring for U & us if U did the same thing all the time...!😴 I was cracking up with U brain storming Ur hammock set-up...😄 I got a similar set up earlier in the year, but still not tried it yet due to the naff summer we had & doing other things... But i have been testing & getting my winter kit together over the past few days & really looking forward to getting out the autumn/winter months again, cooking & cosy, with no midges of mossies...!🤣💯...

[@wayne7521]

Have you seen them tents Dan, where you basically have to use a ladder ,to get in ?? Where basically , it's gotta be like sleeping on a trampoline , with a tent on top. That should be an experience !!! Oh and have you noticed people , possibly trying to be you , with the bike draw ..... I just troll.em mind
