Brother nobody does it better! Fantastic video man absolutely fantastic
I appreciate that!
Thanks again my friend and brother! I truly love my OneWind!
Excellent video Blackie!! And great storage idea. "Camp In A Barrel". Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us.
Another great video, thanks Blackie
Looks good Blackie. Thanks for showing us.
Love the video and you're style. Onewind is outstanding equipment!
Thanks for yet another great video love 💖
thank you Blackie for sharing this info..I really like the barrel idea
What a great system. Thanks Blackie!
glad to help
I'm impressed with the ease of deployment, simplicity and functionality.
Another perfect video. If you had a Blackie Thomas merch store that had t-shirts with you on them with that iconic hat I'd buy one.
Really like the barrel idea
As always Blackie, your explanation of the subject matter was great. As a 'Silver Wolf' who is not in as good of shape as I would like, this was a great source of information. Thank you for putting this together.
Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information on the Silver Wolf camping , sure beats sleeping on the ground. Thank You for sharing your time and knowledge and wisdom and passing on the craft. Yes You Are The Master Woodsman and Buschcrafter. Tim L.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the education Sir!
thanks, well thought out and very practical.
Glad you liked it
Silver wolves are cool
Your explanations are so good. Now I feel as though I know about hammock camping. 😊
Great video sir.. semper-fi..!!
I think Blackie can teach an entire merit badge course in "Hammock". Complete with 14 hours of instruction. Haha. Thanks for the clear explanations of .. issues that we don't have to learn the hard way.
I like the barrel concept. Seems like I'm always loosing the right hunting clothing between seasons. Makes it hard to pack and get out of the house. If you have a system for that , I'm all ears.
Love you Blackie
Great video as always Blackie very good information for us silver wolves l have onewind hammock set up and love it. thanks Blackie have a great day!!!
Awesome points of how to do it simple . I’ve learned the older I get the simpler I need thing to be . I’m sure everyone else is in the same boat
Excellent instruction! I'm working on my hammock order and will watch this several times to get the process right. Thanks, Blackie
hello from Ireland . watched your m65 video .
nice to see you make it into a pillow , clever
I have the same setup. The onewind hammock and tarp are the best. I will modify my Ridgeline. Thanks for that tip. Great video, great insight. Best bushcraft, and camp videos on youtube.
They sell backpack straps designed specifically to carry 5 and 7 gallon buckets and even larger barrels like shown in this video. They are 25 to 30 dollars on Amazon. A backpack rigging and a barrel is a great way to portage lighter but bulkier items, especially if you are into canoeing.
Awesome video my friend.
Great video - love your setup
Good video and tips Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks 👍
Just when I thought you didn’t have anything else to share; Boom! Exterior underquilt wrapped on the exterior of the hammock. 🤯
This is great info, as an old soldier these skills if not used diminish considerably, it was very refreshing to see this as my brain was like oh yeah, oh yeah, and as always you learn something new!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this among other videos you've posted and I subbed!!
Always good medicine 🤗
very thorough explanation. I see very few use a tarp with a separate ridgeline. I guess they have the extra money to keep buying tarps....
Blackie thank you so much I have the onewind hamuck set up and absolutely love it some of the extra you demonstrated I do have but the hammock system is great and as a silver wolf it really makes sense also the bucket idea the bomb thanks again for really making the set up work. Have a great day Blackie 👍👍
I do like the barrel idea. I also think that the tarp should be in your cargo pocket so you can set up a shelter before you open the barrel to the weather. If your of the opinion that if it is raining, you wait in the car until it stops, that's one way of doing it I guess. There is also a good sealing bucket lid for a 5,6, or even larger buckets. They have plastic pet food containers that are as big as your barrel, but the plastic is a little thinner.
Hi Blackie, greeting from Aus, thankyou for your time to make these videos available. Thankyou.
Love the information and videos…My only change would be tarp and ridge line on top for rainy weather. They make fold up wagons to pull your gear in or a plastic sled up north in the winter. Have fun stay safe.
Thanks Blackie
I'm a silver wolf too. I really liked your video. My problem is have ing 2 trees to tie to where I wish to camp. You was telling about the 5Ws. Something some of may have missed. Myself and a friend camped in the same spot 5-6 times until I just happened to look up. Now it wasn't what you might think I saw that scared us off to never camp there again. Let me describe the camp site. The camp site was level ground around a huge oak tree about 30 inches in diameter. From the oak tree about 20 feet was a babbling brook The bank Dropped off about 8 foot deep strait down to the waters edge n the brook.
Near water is good right an no charge $ its free. The problem was this babbling brook was between 2 mountains. Now what I saw when I looked up at that tree. As I said that was a huge tree. The lowest limb as about 3 inches in diameter and about 10 feet over my head. On that lowest limb was a wad of grass - branchesc and trash wraped around it like water would leave. At some time earlier between our camps water had been 10 feet deep right where I was standing. Needless to say we broke camp n drove to the nearest camp site that we had to pay 12$ per day.
Neat set-up Blackie. The barrel idea is great to just put everything in and is waterproof. Im glad you showed this because Id never used a hammock quilt, but looks like it would work very good. The sliding pouch on the line is perfect for accessibility. Thanks for the instruction. You be safe out there-
Again more great ideas. Every time I think I have the perfect ridge line, you show some additional ideas to incorporate. THANKS !
I like the barrel idea, going to have to get something like that. I use a couple of adjustable height trekking poles to make for quick adjustable height corners on the porch side of my tarp.
Thank you, Mr. Thomas. Your knowledge of all things woodcraft is encyclopedic, and I have learned a great deal from your channel.
That’s a sweet way to pack the hammock camp for car camping! Great demonstration! A lot of good thought was put into it, for sure.
Thank you I am a 42 year old amputee with health issues I try to run but can barely crawl….I still get out but not like when I was growing up in the PA mountains.
I love the tarp set up! Using soft shackles instead all the force from the ridge line itself! Great way to prolong the life of the tarp! Blessings the ocd hunter
If I have the room I'll carry a cotton sheet to be my first layer in my sleeping set up. Sometimes it's all I need and it also seems to add much comfort inside of polyester bags in cooler times.
Harrell’s barrels. Lakeland ga he has plenty of all sizes of those barrels
Thank you for the video and the time you spend with us to give clear and thorough information. Take care and God bless!
My pleasure!
Great informative video Blackie!
At 67, I may be called a "silver" wolf, but reality I am more of a "bald" eagle 😘
A four wheeled garden cart is what I use and is great for transporting gear.
A Warbonnet Blackbird XLC hammock is my primary shelter; a couple of additional tips:
A double bottom will provide more protection from mosquitoes AND is great for putting an air mattress or foam pad.
The onewind bottom quilt protector is a great product!
Brilliant..
Thanks Blackie, I am looking forward to getting my setup done on this principle. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into sharing this with us. God bless
So much good info for all of us "well experienced" outdoorsmen.
Well done - - as usual.
Thanks much for the "little tips"
Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Tuned out at the positioning of the tree straps. Discounting friction on the bark, the only position which won't slip sideways is the strap centered, 3 leads coming together at equal angles and equal tension.
Hi Blackie... I've got my 11ft - wide OneWind coming. I'll keep the Snugpak for someone else. Just have to get the underquilt. Enjoyed your video as usual !
Gamma screw on lids are cheap and fit on 5 gal buckets. I use one on my winter sled to keep stuff dry.
Like your Mentor said before "if you roughing it you doing it wrong" The barrel is now going in my bugout trailer! PS. Thinking of adding a quick connect carrying shoulder strap, so you can carry a short distance away from the Truck!
Great video! I’m taking a group of teenagers camping this coming Friday. The high temp is 18 degrees. I always try to teach the efficiency, so I appreciate your approaches.
Great video as always, when you and bear do another old ways video can ya'll talk a little about which do you prefer steel or lead shot and what size shot when small game hunting
Great video. They make folding aluminum carts that are like garden carts that are made for hauling horse tack or marine gear that will help transport your gear to your camp site. Basically think of it as a modern oneperson version of the Borscout cart of long ago.
Great point!
Hammock camping is the only way I roll now, I use a camonest hammock full surround bug net, thermarest air mat inside the hammock, and usually an unzipped sleeping bag, I use a 10 x 13 aqua quest camo tarp, rigged with dutch wear bling and at the end of my hammock I have a continuous loop made from amsteel, my ridgeline is zing it, and it is all set up with dutchware bling for fast set up, I think I can set up a hammock faster than a tent these days, love the big tarp for cooking under or hanging out under in big rain. In colder temps I have been using the heliconcon tex swagman roll as an underquilt. but I have had my eye on the one wind under guilt and blanket.
Started out watching you with my hand guns now go into the rifles in the Flint lock right now
Hi
when I was in the military
we would dig a trench around our tent so the rain would NOT turn the ground under our tents to MUD
it was like a storm drain
you may not need the hill to keep OUT the Mud -- with a storm drain
PLUS a hill aND a storm drain together might as DRY
I use the 17 gallon crates with the yellow lids for my setup
good choice
All you need is the woobie. Seems like one could lash the barrel above the back wheel of a bicycle on the paniers and camp.
Great video
thats like 18 C up here in Canada that is like summer to us hahaha, oh for got to say I use the becket hitch on the ends of my hammock to attach to the continuous loop of amsteel, it saves the weight of hardware.
sound good
I would like to suggest you might recommend a piece of dowel about 1inch in diameter and a board long enough to stand with your feet shoulders with apart and as deep as your feet and use it like a kind of balance board w. Use it every day as you can balance easily then split a 2x4 length making it about 2 inches wide, then round over the edges and start balancing on that
the barrel once emptied and placed near the tarp will be used to collect the '' invaluable '' rainwater ...
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
awesome
🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍
When I go camping, I always load my pack with the first thing out is my rain gear. Next comes my tarp, if it's raining, I can set up the tarp to keep everything else dry. Next comes my shelter so I can use the tarp as shelter to set up my shelter. If I am using a hammock, I will set up the tarp as a hammock tarp, If I am using a tent, the tarp will let me set up the tent under it to keep the inside dry. The last thing to come out is my sleeping clothes. Somewhere in the middle is my food, cook pot, and anything else i may need for eating drinking or relaxing for the evening. If it is dry out, I still do things in this order as a matter of practice. If I had a barrel for hauling my stuff, I would load it the same way. First thing out is rain gear, then my tarp. I really hate having to dry things out if I don't have to. Also you can sleep much better if your sleeping gear is dry when you want to go to bed. Also I would not want a tarp smaller than a 10 x 10, bigger is better but too big is a problem.
There is a guy that lives in Minnesota that has a video of him sleeping in a hammock at -40 F.
Hey Blackie, I've been thinking (can you see the smoke, haha) but have you thought of having Silverwolves chapters where us old guys can get together and practice and share skills. Also, fellowship with like-minded brothers. I would be willing to head or help with the Central Alabama chapter. Just thinking, brother.
The loops on the end of my are Chamelion different colors. I use red for the head.
DOOD!
Blackie, what if it's raining when you get to camp? I would pack clothing in the bottom, underquilt, hammock and ridgeline and tarp on top. Deploy that tarp to get out of the rain and play the rest by ear.
👍
!😊2
not to change the subject. but a few episodes ago you spoke of the m-65 jacket and pants. i just got both for only 17 dollars. near new condition. now liners thoe. proper is the jackets name.
A game cart would work for the barrel
Don’t ask me why Blackie. I still haven’t got too grips with the prewsick knot??????
Blackie love❤. How again do I find those shackles you use on your ridge line. I’ve tried too remember how you set your ridge line and fasteners. To fasten your tarp too that ridge line?????? I am slow on the uptake of them!!! Sorry too have too ask? So which of your videos should I be trying too find that information???? Sorry too be a pest?? 😢😢❤❤
If you were doing this and not explaining as you go how long would it take to set up
Quick question Blackie. Why can’t we go back to Pounds and ounces, instead of kilometres and kilograms? 😂❤❤❤
How much weight do you have for the full kit?
I'm wondering if I could rig up a poncho
A poncho and a woobie to be an acceptable substitute.
Let me try again ... I was wondering if I could rig up a poncho and a woobie to substitute for the under quilt and blanket. It seems it may not be as efficient but might just work out on a not too cool night.
Where did you find that small barrel ?
i got it from a friend
I ask before I saw the end part of the yer video. Sorry fer the bother. BTW, great informative video, thanks
Who actually believes that you’re being shot at? Almost all your videos are shot at the shooting range.
And just like that, your putting thoughts of this broken back barely able to walk fool thinking he go back to camping.
C’mon man. I’m not going to spend 55 minutes watching this. Get to the point.
I have a harness for the same type of bear proof barrel that I use for a pack.
It's made for canoeing, but I use it for camping.
I strap on extra pouches and attach a 'cowboy roll" with a tarp, quick deploy Ridgeline and some thermal undies and wool socks.
It's not the most comfortable pack to tote, but everything in it stays dry.
It also works well to store water at camp or to use gathering materials from the landscape.
I love it!
