- In this video I show you how you can use a camping hammock in the style of a traditional swag / bed roll. I head out for a night in the Aussie Bush and cook up a meal of venison while sleeping to the sound of the kookaburras.

I'd like to see more of this sort of camping. In fact I can see myself falling down a worm hole.
Once ya start with the traditional camping it's hard to stop 😄
Enjoyed this Luke! Just a nice easy watch. Looked like a comfy nights sleep too and what a beautiful way to wake up.
Thanks for watching .. falling asleep to the kookuburras was the best part for sure!
Hahahaha Awesomenesssss...Love This ....Thanks
I love the hammock setup, it’s a really affordable option and as you say, so handy for rocky areas. I find I really need a pad underneath me though otherwise it’s cold - even in the warmer months. Just a thin yoga mat or cheap closed cell foam mat keeps it comfy.
Yeah I remember camping in a hammock in the middle of summer. It was like 38 degrees in the day, but no clouds at night. I got a rude shock when it dropped down to really cold conditions at night and my underside was very cold. I know Alton goods has an underquilt for the hammock for that very purpose.
That's a really good concept for camping where I live here in Brazil. Maybe I should give it a try 🤔
Cheers and blessings, mate 👊🏽
Yeah it's good for dampy forests, or jungle with lots of bugs I reckon. I'd use this is places I really wanted to get off the ground. Thanks for watching.
Good video Luke excellent way to spend a night in the bush. Keep those videos going!😊
Thanks for watching mate. Will have a few more videos coming out each week.
oiled canvas wrap to keep your blanket dry and I reckon it'd be about spot on.
Cheers mate. I have my home made oil skin wrap that I usually use in my other videos, but since it was dry and no rain here I decided just to go with the woolen blanket
Another great little night out Luke . Love hearing all those Aussie background noises and forget how much I miss hearing them.
I like the set up, I wondered if you had considered adding one the Alton Ground Sheets to your bedroll, means that when you roll it out and roll it up it keeps your bedroll clean. I do something a bit similar once I saw someone else doing it.
Yeah possibly could do that with an alton sheet. I don't mind a bit of dirt on the woolen blanket though haha. We get so many kookuburras at the property here and I love there sounds just on dusk.
Thanks for watching.
Nice one Luke . We love our hammocks when camping . Prefer them to a tent
Thanks for watching. I actually prefer to be on the ground, but I can see where a hammock would be the ideal choice.
Nice job luke 🤙
Cheers mate.
Awesome setup mate! 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
Cheers mate.
Nice Luke, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Michael! Next one is ready for next week.
Enjoy your stuff Luke. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
Good idea and nice vid! I like that combination of the twig stove and pathfinder cup, nice little mini kit. 👍👍
Do you ever have a go at the deer? Good resource to have on your place
Thank you for video. Im very like you videos !
Thanks for watching.
Very nice my friend😎
Killing it mate
Cheers mate.
Awesome vid as usual mate!
Cheers for watching mate.
Awesome video mate ❤😊
Cheers mate
Just ordered a sheepskin bedroll. $250. Not bad 👍
Awesome mate, they really are great ... makes a good blanket, but I love using it as a mattress to sleep on the best.
@@TheBeardedBushranger yer looks cool as. I just got a dirty dee swag. It’s guna be luxurious in there lol.
👍
nice video. Your so lucky to back onto such great country. If you ever need more hunters helping with your deer problem let me know, haha. I'd gladly share an entire animal if you were interested in learning how to field dress then section out a deer :)
Oh cheers thanks for that mate. Yeah It's something I really want to get more into and learn this year. Valuable skill to have.
Great vid Luke. Is the only down side to a hammock you can’t sleep on your side 🤔. But looks damn comfy
Actually on your side is not too bad. I'm usually a stomach sleeper though which gets kind of hard to do. So hammock camping is not really my preffered way of camping.
I sleep on my side in a hammock. Try to lay at an angle, and I tend to put my clothes under my knees to level myself out a bit 👍🏼 I have a nightcat Hammock tent
@@TheBeardedBushranger yes. I get that Luke, I have never done it
@@mitchjackson3830 you flexible 😂
Can you also setup a waterproof fly with the netting?
Yeah usually this set from alton goods comes with a tarp. You can run another Ridge line higher up and put that over it. No rain was forecasted on this night and I had tree cover to keep the dew off me
I see how to use the hammock as a hammock. How to carry it so it looks like a bedroll. But how do I use it as a bedroll?
Well you could wrap yourself up in hammock and lie on the ground 😄 This video was more a fun way to expirement carrying the hammock settup as a bedroll .. so yes technically the title is wrong.
