The sound of rain on a tent / tarp is so relaxing! For me, it's perfect sleeping weather!

[@andrewlinskey7856]

Love the sound of rain. Well done for helping the dog. Good man.

[@englishwoodsman]

Thankyou mate she a old bugger

[@jontalley3430]

I love your rainy camping videos! I grew up camping all over the east coast of the US. I miss it now that I am old and decrepit. Ha ha! Keep the rainy trips coming!

[@scottfreeland4452]

As a dog owner who goes camping with their dog. I just like to say thanks for helping the dog out. I would be totally distraught if I'd lost my dog. Keep up the good work!

[@northernillinoissasquatchr6260]

Awwww, took the lost pup back to her owner. You are so kind and humble.

[@tharamanthar972]

Glad I'm not the only one who prefers camping in the rain, theirs just something about the noise of rain on a tarp or tent that cannot be beat! Just wish I could get out more often, my trail legs need a good stretch!

[@letgo8118]

I love the 2 person hammock.

[@crazyhorsejohnny1974]

Bigger tarps are great in my opinion. Gives you more space to cook or sit. If it’s windy it’s key to set it up properly as you know. When expecting lots of rain take a piece of paracord and do a drip line at the end of your hammock. Then you have no worries of water making it’s way down and into your under blanket or hammock. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.

[@iancash4129]

Nice to see someone actually camping in our rainy weather 👍

[@MAJJJJJJ]

Its great to see you put the camera way back and get a great view of the land and the trees and the rain and hammock and tarp set up

[@PhilCherry3]

Regarding your use of the 5m tarp, I use the DD 4x4 as my main tarp. I am going to purchase the 3x3 to add to my equipment. The main reason I use the 4x4 is for the coverage it provides in conditions just like those in your video. I can hang the 4x4 in A frame-with or without doors or in diamond configuration to get 5.65m of coverage! The larger tarps protect better agains heavy rain; sideways blowing winds etc. and they provide so much more walk-around space when one is not in the hammock. So I think you made a good choice to increase the size of your tarp to 5 meters.

[@RobCanada]

Dan, time on your own is time to be cherished. Listen to a audio book or a podcast. It gives your brain time to reset without new information coming in. Your own company is the best company you can have, you just need to adjust to it. I love socialising with all my mates and never want the night to end. But to have time to myself is my greatest pleasure where I get to do what I want for a while. Great video and great rain sound. And the 5m tarp was the perfect size :)

[@kenmorrison1725]

Love a big tarp. I use the dd 4.5x3. it gives you options !

[@englishwoodsman]

I have the DD 4x4

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Another great video. Glad you found that dogs owner, hope they were grateful.

[@terrypatterson1481]

I agree it makes a trip so much more enjoyable if you go out with someone else - You talk and put the world to rights - eat and have a few beers/ ciders and you seem more chilled. You sleep better as well.

[@susanwinters7610]

Good man for sorting out the lost dog. The tarp, bigger is better. Really enjoy your videos, Thank you 👏👍👍

[@mianone7486]

Beautiful act of kindness for both dog and owner! Thank you for yet another video!

Great stuff bigger the trap the better

[@englishwoodsman]

Bigger the better 😯😯

Great vid mate and good job with the dog. Im glad to see you use the global camping measurement of guessometrics when preparing food. Works every time. 😀 All the best from Perth, Western Australia 👍🇦🇺🍻

Really enjoyed this one, great idea having the bigger tarp much better coverage... Chocolate pudding looked very nice... ATB Chris.

You’re a hero for finding the dog's owner in the rain! You can’t have a big enough tarp. It gives you more protection and room during the rain. Throughly enjoyed this video and take care ❤️🇨🇦

Thankyou for watching

[@GAR85120514]

Big thumbs up. Thanks

[@twentyonetwelve2179]

GREAT VIDEO and over here in Colorado USA I love the accent! FYI... The wind screen around a canister stove like 14:07 actually becomes a heat trap and it can cause the check valve to pop or the canister to explode. There are several websites that tell stories of that happening. Leave a gap for air to go in and some heat to exit like 18:06. Another thing... add two water breaks, one on each end of that orange ridgeline or it will drip water down right in the middle. It will do just what the tree straps are doing.

[@DMAC1966]

Great video there Dan. I love the sound of rain on a tarp and to be honest the sound would have sent me off the sleep straight away. Love the big tarp, I have the DD 4X4 and swear by it!! Only tow things that I have an issue with. I'd have Drip Lines attached and anything that comes in a bag can and sometimes should be cooked. Apart from that Tent Meal :-/ that should be left in the bag...at home!! I'm off at the end of the month with a mate and can't bloody wait!!

[@spiritualsenga9250]

[@iangrimshaw1]

Great, no nonsense vid as always. I love a hammock. Like you; it makes a great seat to have it horizontal. But to sleep in one I've found it best to really raise the head end. Because you're basically sleeping in a banana this way keeps your head above your feet. Try it?

Nice video. Only issue with a big tarp is You need so big real estate to put it up. I prefer 3x3. Easier to place and less to worry about.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Alright Dan, not sure about the 5m tarp, I can't see me needing anything more than my 4x4 but each to their own buddy, well done on finding the dog owner 👍👍👍 the smile on your face after binning the veg meal for some meat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 quality pal, the weather forecast this weekend in Cumbria is looking bad so I may well do the same and head to my permission in the hammock, keep up the good work buddy, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁

[@MetallicrealitE]

Im glad you left in your late night paranoia attack, it's good to know even experienced people get creeped out solo camping. That tarp is a beast of a thing, as for the extra space, u used it all up so it definately wasn't excessively big in the end.

I was tempted... Rain - no problem, but the forecast said 60+mph gusts and I thought...NOPE!

Random question: Diamond or square tarp setup for high winds? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

if its likely to be windy and you have a big tarp id be looking at putting one edge of tarp down to the ground as a wind block, and use the other side as a rain canopy
