Solo Hammock Camping on an Island

- So I finally got my campfire! And it was glorious! The weather improved, it was still hot but not as hot as the past few weeks. The smoke from the Wildfires is pretty much gone and the fire ban was lifted. I was headed to a nice little island campsite that I have never been to before so I was quite excited. The site did not disappoint. I decided to use the hammock setup this time and it worked pretty well. The fishing wasn’t great, but that’s probably on me! The one thing that sucked was upon arriving at the island and setting up my camera gear I broke the camera mount for my tripod. Basically I had no way to securely mount my camera to my tripod…so I MacGyvered it! #camping #canoecamping #fishing
Thanks for watching, I always appreciate it.

RIght when I made it to the island and I started to unload my gear I broke my camera mount for my tripod...this could have been a big deal but I was able to rig up my camera setup to still get some shots but it made things difficult! Ha, nothing is ever easy. Anyways I still have a good trip!
well your shots looke pretty damn good considering you had a broken tripod. Well done!
Good stuff David 🇨🇦😁
Thanks Jeremy, I appreciate it. I am enjoying your roof top tent series.
Love your self deprecating sense of humor, as simple as you are! You are getting good with that fire steel my man. The frogs need loving too? too funny. Thanks again Dave.
Thanks Jake, I just try to entertain myself while out on my solo trips!
Loved the music in your intro, so well done. Glad you got your fire on!
Thanks Kelly, I normally don't use much music but I found a track I like. I'm also glad I got my fire going!
Great adventure!
I enjoyed the trip - but shame on you - you mentioned your mistakes, but they are not on the video.
I am a big fan - and enjoy your videos.
Sat in the Channel Islands watching Dave while the sun goes down. Looks a great overnighter. Better luck with the fish next time.
Sounds like you had a beautiful night. Thanks for watching!
I know all about cameras taking a swim! Lucky it was just your GoPro...congrats on being able to have a campfire again!
Ya mine wasn't as bad as yours, for sure. My DJI camera took it like pro. It did affect the audio a bit but not too bad. I wish I was rolling at the time, it would have been funny. Good luck with your camera.
Awesome video! I'm glad I found your channel.
Thanks for watching.
Great video you’ve got me eager to get out for a campfire!
Thanks Evan, it was great to have a fire again, sounds silly but it is a mood booster! I enjoy your channel Evan.
I hope you remembered the bug repellent. I'm glad to see you able to get back to the important things. Life is too short. My best memories are by the river in the Blue Ridge mountains camping in South Carolina. USA. Thanks for all the videos. Oh yeah... The smoke from the Quebec fire's were down here on 7-16. Very bad air quality.
I always bring the bug spray but I rarely use it. I have sprayed my clothes with permethrin before hand and it really helps with the bugs, they are still around but don't bite much. The Blue Ridge Mountains sound like a great spot to camp. Sorry about the smoke!
Nice to see you back out again another lovley spot great food awesome fire and soo peaceful sorry about the fish teasing you, youll get one real in slow then jerk it a couple times then reel in a bit slower than you do. sucks about the camara at least you didnt go for an unwilling dip lol. always enjoy your videos . Ontario.
Thanks Sue, I appreciate it. I just wish I was recording when the camera went in the water, the look on my face would have been good!
Looked a great location, temping to move to Canada 😊 Enjoyed the video, you cannot beat a camp fire. You are going to have to get a reflector oven, then Pain au Chocolat for breakfast.
Thanks, I may try a reflector oven, a few other people have mentioned it. I am not the greatest cook but it might be fun to try.
Simple works well!
And goes well with those natural surroundings.
Any hints?
Yep, I like simple. I find I don't enjoy myself when I complicate things too much. For me I try to keep it simple but not overdoing it. I wanted to have a fish fry but after a while I noticed the fish were not biting so I just moved on. For the filming aspect, I just didn't bring as much gear with me, so I had to keep it simple. Thanks for watching.
Looks like you had a great trip. You sure ate good…lol looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Dennis, the steak was so good...probably because I was so hungry!
Okay you have done it! You have convinced me to try hammock camping. I literally just stopped the video and started hammock shopping. What is the setup that you are using? Thanks for the video, looks great!
Nice. Good for you. I think every camper should try out a hammock to see if they like it. I was pretty comfortable in my setup. I have a basic hammock and underquilt. I do need to upgrade my hammock system though.
