Oh really? 😅 I use just old GoPro Hero 8 Black (I really should bite the bullet and get an upgrade) and sometimes my phone too. Editing coloring and audio as needed. Great to hear you liked it!
With every single video of yours I came to the conclusion that you have a beautiful scenery in Finland. Maybe I should travel up north for the next summer vacation instand of mountaineering in the alps. And maybe I am just young and dumb, but a 60l backpack doesn't sound overkill for an overnight trip to me ^^
I'm sorry you hadn't the blast a hammock can give. I know a bit about it because I started sewing by making two sets (hammock + underquilt + tarp) to go full "friluftsliv" during one month trip across Denmark, Sweden and Norway. To me it's the most comfortable way to camp, and for many spots in Scandinavia covered with trees, it's a great tool. Also it was a good conversation starter to encounter local people who have very kind views about wild camping and were curious about such a system. One of the sets helped as its underquilt is made of yellow and black stripes and makes the hammock look like a friendly giant bumblebee. As others said, for hammock fabric a good ripstop is the way to go. :) And yes, if you give it a try again, you should take a 2 persons hammock and sleep in diagonal. It makes it way flatter.
@@TaivalOutdoors I'm very back sensitive, can't sleep on the ground without getting in pain, I even can feel pain in beds... never in a well set hammock. I'm pretty confident thinking it's a very comfortable solution. And it has some pretty good other advantages. If you don't already know his channel, have a look to Shugemery. He is a very funny, and very instructive, passionate hanger. www.youtube.com/@shugemery
Sorry to see a hammock fail like that for you. Ali's TTTM hammock teared as well. The ones I've used have always had a ripstop patttern. Yours was however hung really tight with very little sag which also affects the fabric's strength and lay comfort.
You're right the way I set it up might have had an impact as well, but as said, it has seen more days outside than most hammock campers' hammocks have. Will have to look for ripstop fabric for the next one. Cheers.
I'm going to have to try making some trail pizza like that, it looks super tasty. Also with the hammock you want to sleep on a diagonal. It doesn't hurt if the hammock is quite wide as well.
A double hammock may work better. You may also need put the hammock an angle. It does take getting used to and figuring out what works for you. Awesome video and scenery. New subscribers. Stay safe. ✌️
Dear Taival Outdoors, I am Hunter Wright from America. I am fifteen years old and I am getting into hiking. I have been watching your videos for around a year. I am wondering what would be your recommendation for a good beginner hiking bag? Thanks, Hunter Wright
Hi Hunter, that's great to hear. I can't recommend a single backpack, but I can give some pointers for sure. First of all, are you going to do only day hikes or are you planning on doing overnight trips or even longer ones? Shelter and sleep system are going to be your bulkiest items, so your backpack needs to be able to accommodate those. However don't get too big of a pack, because with those people tend to fill up the extra capacity with stuff they don't really need. Personally around 60 liters works for me, for three season overnight trips I can go a lot smaller. It's important to have a good fitting backpack, so get one that has adjustable height for the shoulder harness and a properly padded waistbelt (as you want most of the weight to be carried on your hips, not your shoulders). Usually it's not helpful, especially when starting out, to obsess about the weight of the backpack itself - I'd rather focus on something durable that lasts for a long time. It ends up being cheaper than having to buy another backpack when a zipper fails or fabric rips in a cheap one. Of course you can always then sell your backpack if you want to upgrade to something else. I used my previous backpack for six years before selling it because I noticed I didn't need so large one anymore.
Cheers man. I've always been intrigued by tents and I do keep an eye on that market, but since it's mostly just me and the dog these days going out, I find floorless shelters or tarps to be the best way to go. I'll have to look for some sort of a tent though when we'll get out with the whole family.
@@TaivalOutdoorsHope you find a new hammock that will suit you better! I bought hilleberg tent 2 years ago and it has served me very well! big recommend if you want to spend a few extra coins for quality gear.
My first Hill People Gear kit bag I purchased directly from their webstore, but I think I got the second one from a Swedish shop as it was the only European retailer (at least at the time).

I think you positioned yourself wrong way in the hammock. The right position is diagonally. Then it won't press you shoulders nor does it make your back feel pain. Actually, in that position hammock becomes straight base where it's easy to sleep in. The TTM hammock you have (had), is similar to one of those I have (4) and is well large enough for a single person. Mine, actually, serves as a nap place hanging of the roof of my working room.

Super video. I was wondering what you film with as the quality of your videos is top-notch!

Great video. Rokku looks great. Your experiences are always “interesting”.
Glad you think so!

Welcome to Finland then!
Pizza looked the biz ! , new sub here 👍🏻🏕
It was! Thanks for joining us 👍
Fabulous trip fabulous content.... I love the zero agenda content. Real deal.
Thanks, glad you enjoy it!

Thanks, I think I have to give it another go. There must be something to it as so many people these days prefer hammock camping.

I know where you were. My first vlog place! 😉 Amazing morning views you had! Cheers!
Yes thanks a lot for the tip about this spot, this was my third time here and its always worth the visit 👍
Am I the first?!! Great video - wish we had such an event here, might push me to get off my backside (not sure my cat would come with me though).
I have no experience with cats in outdoors, but I'm sure someone has thought of a way to do that too 😁
I'm going to have to try making some trail pizza like that, it looks super tasty. Also with the hammock you want to sleep on a diagonal. It doesn't hurt if the hammock is quite wide as well.
So I've now heard, good to know.
Food cooked and eaten outside always tastes better.
That's right!
"DD hammocks frontline" is something I would recommend. Costs like 70€ and has a fixed mosquito net. It also comes in a bigger size IIRC
Thanks, I'll have to check it out 👍
DD is made for small people 😆

Thanks man, it's always good to try new stuff - can't know what works and what doesn't without trying it first!

@@hunterw3415 No problem. Let me know if I can be of further assistance 👍
Never tried hammock before but the tent for me is the way to go!
Pizza looked delish

@@baaaarells Buy once, cry once!
Pizza outdoors. Have to try my self onetime. Great.
And everything tastes even better when eaten outdoors after a hike.
A two person hammock is ok for one person, I find.
So it's the same as with tents, then.
You need a double or king size hammock, being a big dude. But even then, hammocking is not for everyone.
We probably want to get a new hammock for our yard anyway, so might as well look for a bigger one and see if that helps.
Where did you buy the chestbag?

Ali kertoi justiin viime videollaan, kuinka rysähti riipparin läpi.
Jaahas, pitääpä vilkaista mitä se Ali on puuhaillut.
I'd love to see you collaborate with Ali Leinio on a trip.
Uhm, you're not that old, sonny 😁
Thanks! Older than my younger self 😁
