You said it makes sense…when you look at him 🤣😂😂😂😂

Nice scenery, Tim! I section hiked half of the Appalachian Trail, using a hammock, finishing in 2022. In 2023, I attempted a thruhike, falling and hurting my knee, over 1,000 miles in, ending that attempt. Other than two times sleeping in shelters because of high winds, and a dozen or so nights sleeping in hostel bunks, mostly due to a previous injury, I slept in my hammock, using a system that I had put together in 2008, but updated using ultralight equipment for my long (275 mile) section hikes in '21 and '22, and the thruhike attempt last year. I'm a side sleeper at home and usually started out that way in my hammock, sometimes waking up on my back. I don't use tents unless there is no place to hang a hammock. Having a tarp, which can be kept on the outside of a pack, gives you shelter for lunch in the rain during the day. It's a perk that's sometimes overlooked by hammock users. Oh, and never a muddy floor! 11:43 I think that bears eat that, too! All "signs" along the trail indicate it! Lastly, I can stand up under my tarp to change, if I pitch it high enough. I'd have to carry a 7 pound plus tent for that, or a $700.00 DCF pyramid.

You two are great 😃

Good try by Mike. Nice job setting it up too. I started sleeping better on the ground after hammock camping. It got me used to staying on my back when in a comfortable position.

How about some powdered milk for the cereal? I've got to keep my eyes open for that pasta. Thanks for the video brother

He needs to sleep in a hammock during a rainstorm. THEN he'll be a convert.

My dad used to eat cereal with water all the time. But we was really poor😂😂. Mike needs to give it a few hangs before he calls it quits on a hammock 😁 Cool video brother 👍🏻👍🏻

Looked like a great trip. Still haven't tried hammocking but need to some day.

Very intertaining video, my friend. I'm not buying another hammock. I'm still a ground dweller. Lol

Great video, really enjoyed this one. We will get Mike yet, lol. I am a side sleeper at home, but have trained myself to back sleep in a hammock and it is the best sleep I get. It did take me some time when I converted from my tent, like 8-10 nights. Thanks again for all you do for the hammock community!❤

Let's go Mike. Ground camping all the way. Can't wait to see you guys again. Keep it up.

Absolutely trying that meal combo on my next hike. Great suggestion. Mike, great job on not falling for the hammock's seductive ways. Stick with us ground dwellers

That morning fart killed me! New to the channel and was not expecting that 😂😂😂

Don't give up, have him try a ridgerunner, banyan, or a town's end bridge hammock and see if that would help. Side and stomach sleepers do better in the bridge. I love my superior gear hammock. I switched from being a side sleeper to sleeping on my back, and while it took a bit of adjusting, I'd never go back to tents willingly now.

A hack fore your hammock put soft shackles or Carabiners on the tree end of your straps . This allows you to clip to one tree and walk to the other playing out your hammock . :)

Cap’n Crunch!

Ok this looks fun.

the force is strong in Mike , glad we didn't lose another to the dark side

Chuckled a few times, I'm on Mikes side, Mikes stick together. Tents Or Die, and no i have never slept in a hammock, but ive also never hiked south, Go North Or Die! Thanks for the video Buckley!

Touched by a hammock for the very first time!

Bro that was intense! Glad you made it through. If you stayed at home for every bad forecast, you might miss great times like these. :)

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sunset was beautiful. I always feel so small in a really bad thunderstorm. Just waiting for daylight. Mike didn’t care it was 420 😂😂😂

That didn't look fun. I've only had to pack up in the night in the rain once, and it was miserable.

uff-dah that looked like a wicked trip. glad you all survived.

Fun stuff dude!! haha

Beautiful surroundings, nice chilled vibe to this one, loving the tunes as always. Horseshoe is definitely good luck, Tara should paint it and hang it up in her yard 🐎👍. Keep the trips coming Tim, always a pleasure to see you get out and about. All the best Shell and Pete 😊👍

Have to hand it to you there Tim, an uber cool pitch! 🏕👌. Always fun to meet a new friend on trail too. The night shot of mount rushmoore was pretty epic! Like button smashed!👍 Pete and Shell 😊👊

That looked like fun. Messy but fun.

Really liked your video. I’m researching this hammock, considering pulling the trigger. My question is, and you touched on this, how low of temps can you comfortably go with the 45 degree elite with and without the cocoon top quilt? Thanks

A trip I’ll never forget that’s for sure! …and did we hear a Skinwalker out there or what?? lol

Durston holding strong! What model is that?

Not much sleep on a night like that! Some good ol' Type Two Fun right there.

I had a spooky experience with an 8x8 tarp and bivybag in a nasty thunderstorm. Not sure I want to go though it again

Man o man, that was a great video. Thank you

I guess in that area you have to worry about flash floods and lightning since you are so exposed to the elements!

Don't you just love a little rain. 😢

Not sure how I missed this.. but awesome outing brother. Thanks for the video

A thunderstorm in a place called the Badlands? Surely it can't be THAT bad...

Yikes! Goodtimes. Thanks for the video brother

I’ve only had to ride out one smaller squall while out there. We were set up on some grass so it went well. It passed quickly. I have the same Durston Tent and it seems to hold up well to wind/rain so far.

Daymnnn them hills are special 😍

I have a cool spot in the black elk wilderness where you can see black elk peak, the needles and half of Washington's face.. love the videos man.

Man that campsite was epic. Keep it up man.

Very nice pack.

Epic hang buddy!!!!! Great to see back out in the SG rig. And I vote for helicopters stink.

What's the frequency on the helicopter flights? I generally don't mind such noises - not everyone can venture deep into the wilderness and it gives people a unique perspective on the landscape.

The farts are my favorite parts of this video. I must have missed this view you were talking about?

I've camped there twice now, it came in real handy during a rainstorm I got caught in, another nice video Buckley.
