like me, i am always tinkering with ideas , cold bum effect is real when hammocking i like the double bubble pad

@@johnho2006 so I plan on using a Kelly cosmic ultra 20 degree Fahrenheit sleeping bag and the double bubble pad in two weeks. The night time temperature will be around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Do you think I’ll still have to deal with cold bum?

exped always makes nice gear, im impressed with it

it is a Hennessy Hammock , the 4 season survivorman zip XL , co designed with Les Stroud

i understand you, every camo has a different memory for us all, but arktis has some great camos on its website , never been a digital fan of some camos

i have no idea, i cannot answer that question sorry

yes the figure of 8 is a strong knot, but never has a triple wrap failed me or crashed me into the ground, i love to play around with the suspension and make sure when i sleep , i have no creeping doubts, overall the hammock is a good buy. there are combinations people use to hang , but a figure of eight is simple and whats in a few extra turns, now dont start me on whoopie slings

No its certainly not a crisp packet, yes its nylon , it compacts very small , and has good camouflage colours, but certainly not comparable to a crisp packet .

@@johnho2006 sounded like one with your audio.

because it seems they are experimenting with newer materials , and the classic cost of Dyneema being higher , its like they made a batch of so many and now they are rare to find on line for sale, would love to see a V2 come out as the pole layout makes mine so easy to pitch , and the weight speaks for itself.

always a good worth while buy, always makes me feel comfortable when out in the woods,

i like the look of some buckle systems and slides, i also always a daisy loop as back up plan, but the fun is simply getting out and about , and i needed some camo to blend in more with the trees

the Carabiner and rings are an extra add on, they are not out of the box,

yes a good bit of kit, nothing better than a good hammock hang in the outdoors

NO. i recommend a tarp or similar, i think a cloud up 2 would just over load the pack, and change your comfort of carrying , the size alone has made me rethink every item , not suitable for nature hike full size tents and all other gear needed

Thanks, What about the v2?

thank you, trust me i am enjoying life, just better informed about myself and why i have twinges and creaks , the pack is good and makes me re think my whole packing right down to meals and packets of coffee, and i did complete the sand stone trail using the ultralight and due to going ultralight my legs were unstoppable .life is good,

still in my shed ,just in case lol, yes a great tent ,sad the company seem to stop making newer tents

can only agree ,Bombproof.

thermarest have had a lot of inflatable money from me, my last night out in a tent ,i was fuming as the pad went down again due a slow leak, i said never again, it has to be foam from now on, and this a comfy pad

honestly that a Big yes, its a very usable piece of gear ,sitting around and being in bed, i still say worth the money

@@johnho2006 I'm starting to wonder if wool might be better. It's funny that this kind of insulation needs an outer film of nylon or polyester to keep it intact. Wool doesn't so shouldn't it be more effective for the weight?

this is my third Hennessey hammock, and that orange is a standout colour , i need to be more stealthy and go Camo next

its a good design, all i have done is add a chest/sternum strap to keep the shoulder straps snug, it works well for me and my style of camping, and i bet you'll enjoy it.

Pa'Lante,very small American company,same as the ultra light back pack

yes, that was just me enjoying the challenge , and using RUclips to broadcast it, standby for a kit pimp 35 litre patrol pack, in the coming week,

it is a pity they do not bring back to market a 2024 model , some amazing tents fabrics being used , i keep looking at Zpacks gear ,

remember to Like, subscribe, and ring that bell,

No brief, or any sewn in goods, very simple one piece , all four pockets sewn cleanly on outside , inside is very clean sewn, nothing to rub against skin

yes it is good for a jog, light weight top, more a windcheater, combined with a t-shirt , you'll start a new trend off.

never had moisture build up. well not in our climate (north west England), it has no vents or air flow , and is big and baggy, i have to admit i have never sweated in it and worked out where it becomes a sweat box, i wear it over other tops that are usually cottons or breathable, it is a good wind cheater/blocker.

well certainly feels good to get to the end and completing 500 a day, my body core feels a lot better in being tighter and firm. i know it is a simple exercise and people mock the execution and effort needed , with my heart, i am in Atrial fibrillation and my last operation was a Catheter ablation, so being 60 this year and in my desire to regain a level of fitness i found the 10,000 challenge ideal , i love the kettle bell and how many exercises and muscle groups can be worked , i wanted a challenge in the privacy of my own home not a gymnasium or group setting, pleased now i can say i feel better mentally and physically simply to a single kettle bell .and You tube does help in being motivated and learning from others, i will look at the simple and sinister workout.

@@johnho2006 I think the feat is impressive for anyone (500 swings a day, 20 days in a row is no walk in the park) let alone for someone coming off of a recent heart procedure! That makes it all the more impressive to me and should serve as an inspiration to others as well. I have found a lot of great benefits with my kettlebell workouts so far and also enjoy the privacy aspect of being able to do them within my own home. I have a wife and little one at the house so it is great that I am able to knock out my workouts generally in under 50 minutes, pre/post warm-up & stretching included. Keeps me in shape and frees up more time to spend with my family. Thanks for sharing, John. Keep having fun with things in your continued journey of physical fitness!

my kettle bell is 16 kgs, cant really answer for others, as the challenge is traced always the back to the old Greek's, so people can vary

if you mean as in Robin, we are not related at all ( my brother has met/chatted with him) , but on my fathers side there is a long line of us who have served in the British army ,
