Spot on with hammocks. The more people out in tents, the better the tree selection for me. Plus I can skip all of your tips that apply to keeping a tent clean, or level, or usable. It also lets me skip all of the videos about what pad is better this week.
As for batteries in a headlamp....I use waterproof headlamps with rechargeable batteries, and keep mine accessible. I don't want to be digging around and trying to find batteries at dusk and trying to put the batteries in after dark. Then again, I tend to use mine while hiking in the dark, not just for camp chores or finding a tree.
If the head lamp has three batteries I always just flip one backwards until I use it and then I don't lose the batteries
Wait. Who rolls up the tent without first folding it over so the top sides touch (think hotdog bun or taco) That way only the bottom side touches the bottom side. Folding it his way ensures you'll get it dirty since you're flipping it upside down onto the mud
Folds of any kind are generally ill-advised since when repeated they can cause weak points
As a hammocker, I have zero issues with mud. I just use a rag to wipe dew off of my tarp and I’m good. Setting up in the rain is fine because after I have the tarp, I’m dry, and my things too. No getting the tent wet with my clothes or muddy shoes. And even when bivvy camping I have brought a hammock for a midday cooling nap.
Hammocker for 20 years. Never a dirty floor, always somewhere to sit.
Caveat: needs trees or other anchor points.
@@danielkutcher5704 have you ever set up on things other than trees? I’ve seen people with rock climbing equipment do rocks, and a rock on one side and tree on the other, but rarely so. People’s porches are easy, provided they have posts at the right distance. Or even the main pillar in a car with the straps going in and around it. (Trying to find creative ways to setup)
@@pedroclaro7822 I have one in my living room 🤣
@@N3wt199 hahaha
For naps?
I’ve seen folk with hammocks inside who said cats would hog them
@@pedroclaro7822 my partner sits in it when she reads.. also my daughter uses it when she stays over.
Don't fold the tent groundsheet to groundsheet, go the other way.
That way you can still fold then roll when it's on the ground, and allows you to wipe off most mud and dirt as you go.
If you fold in the left and right sides into the middle, you're keeping dirt to dirt and wrapping up the inner inside the burrito wrap.
Yesssss exactly
Right away, I didn't need 2 of the tips. The hammock is saving me from having to remember so much. I'm less burdened already 😁
Watching this in my hammock!
Its not to late....you can change. It's not like you're a Raider fan or anything like that. Hammocking washes out with a little bleach.
Great humour in this one, and awesome production too!
I fell into the pretty tent site trap last weekend and woke up in an inch of water. It was the only spot that essentially turned into a lake in the entire campsite.
Bryce - That was awesome! Love your humor throughout the video. You're going to catch a lot of crap from Frozen and others about the hammocks. I love my hammock, but do ground dwell periodically. Looks like you're feeling better, great to see that! I'd still like to buy you a few beers down at some of the local breweries. I've go my camper down at Atwood at least through Labor Day, possibly end of October. Let me know what and when works for you. -dave
One of the biggest concerns about leaving batteries(alkaline batteries) in your electronics, is you take a chance of the battery acid leaking into your (in this case headlamp) and destroying it. Now you have a paper weight headlamp.
Taking batteries out of headlamps when I get back home is something I'm still trying to get in the habit of doing. Should be sub-tip in the video.
❤😂🎉🎉🎉 oh Bryce, is that a water filter in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?!?!?
Lol😊
The mint add was amazing, lol 😆
Glad to see you able to get some more content out. I'm guessing your back is doing much better.
How about Backpacking with Ryan Reynolds for your next video. Love my MintMobile
Hilarious AND informative! Thanks, Bryce! You did good!
These are good tips..... for lowly land dwellers. #hammockgang
Old guy here and new subscriber! I use a small ditty bag for electronics, and one that goes in the large pocket on the back of the pack for on trail ease, sun block, mosquito repellent, parka ect. Cheers!!
Interesting tips. Good advise. Funny guy😂😊
As a hammock backpacker, I feel attacked. ATTACKED.
You have put much effort into this one ❤
Footprint and groundcloth are great at containing dirt to no-essential gear!
Both are easily set on bushes or on the clothesline to dry as well as time permits (or rinsed by the rain) then be brushed cleanish (I carry a very light brush, but a branch can be used).
But, yeah, sometimes you need to break camp now. However, folding can go either way: dirty-dirty, or clean-clean!
Great stuff man 👍👍👍
Incredible video Bryce. Lots of awesome tips in this...very practical! I agree with #5...lol. Thanks for sharing. Crow
First time watcher! Lovin your humor! and the tips! (I’m especially laughing at hammocks and footprints)
Great video Bryce. I'm going to pre-blame you for my upcoming virgin tarp camping trip in the sierra. You were almost the entire inspiration...from a while back. I appreciate your perspective on these things. The freezer bag for me is the ONLY way to go - all your "crap" should be in a single half filled gallon freezer bag - if it doesn't fit you have too much stuff. Excluding bug juice, compass, and toilet kit (in my hip belt pockets) everything fits in about a third, gets rolled and put in the only zipper pocket I have. makes the world so much simpler.
I'll be alert to the well worn camp sites with the tarp. It'll be weird but I'm hoping its just more fun to tinker with the tarp.
and finally regarding the dirty tent pack up - if you're fortunate enough to have a dyneema tent theres nothing wrong with laying it out on the stream or lake to wash it off - its already wet...at least it wont be wet and abrasive.
Cheers all
HAHAHAH maybe you could POST BLAME him. Jeez
@@jhonyermo Of course I will....I just wanted to lay the ground work. Its way trickier than I thought but I've back yard practiced through a host of crap that would be so frustrating on trail...Looks so simple.
TIP 1.5: Put some leaves on the nicer dirt camp spot so you can have the nicer dirt spot and not get muddy anyway! (mic drop)
and then still wake up in a puddle if it rains... you should pick up that mic.
Glad you’re back. TH-cam missed you 🎉
lol about the hammock. The warbonnet ridge runner works for me, regular hammocks are good for a nap only.
Bryce, you supremely upped your video editing game in this one brother. So good, and still just as fun and funny to watch bro!😊👍🍻
Great video! One of your best, by far!
I've never had that issue with my headlamp, though. The button's hard enough to push (Petzl Tikka) that I've never had it come on unintentionally.
I second your opinion on hammocks. They're nice to snooze in the backyard, but trying to actually sleep in them? I wake myself up snoring.
Hahaha, love the hammock bashing. As a hammock hanger myself, it's in my best interest that others stay in their tents, so I have a better tree selection. But I bet this guy is really a hammocker too, he just doesn't want anybody else to know, and publicly pokes fun about it. That's what we call a "closet hanger" 🤣
I have not watched your channel in over a year. TH-cam suggested this video. Glad it did. Hilarious video Bryce.
loved the video. thank you greatly Bryce
I fold the bug net side onto itself to keep the dirt off and protect the net in my pack. Granted its dry out here so no mud but I just use my ground sheet to quarantine stuff if its real dirty, anything else small enough goes in the kangaroo pouch.
Regarding Tip #5, what about Amok Draumr? Looks pretty comfy and only 3 lbs!! Want to own one but don't have the $220. Fixes the need for a level area, but you do need the right tree size and placement.
setting on leaves are full of ticks
fold bottom to bottom wipe off damp and wet then fold again
Gosh i love your personality! You always got me crackin up 😂 good video!
@@brycenewbold. fraud
You can reverse the poles of the batteries inside your headlamp. That way you can't lose any batteries and it still will not switch on by accident.
OMG someone who thinks well.
Great video Bryce....stuff I actually haven't heard on YT thus far..
I knew every one of those things. But you're right not too many people do know this stuff. I was a survival and field craft instructor in the army. And most of the stuff just common sense thanks for making the video. I never did Master the ditty bag though I always had shit everywhere.
Awesome tips!
Awesome vid bryce, very well done!
Great advice.
Grass constantly gives off water vapor (it's part of transpiration - how water comes up from the roots. It will increase the moisture under your tent floor, vestibule, and canopy, rain or no rain. Dry leaves are fine until water gets under the floor and pastes them to it.
You better be careful about those hammock jokes! You never know when an old man who loves them might sneak into camp and slit your tent with his camping knife!!!
😂😂😂😂
Always enjoy your "tips" videos. Keep up the good work!😎😎
@@brycenewbold.😊😊
4 and 5 were worth the whole video! :)
Airways love your videos bro ty😂
Lol the shade at Frozen
I know, what gives there other than he is the king proponent of hammocks, LOL.
I am a hammock-Tarp or just Tarp girl myself. Hate climbing in stuffy tents with doors that suck. I am 68 and most tents suck canal water.
I always enjoy watching your mind at work. I do have a question, doesn't tip #1 violate LNT Principle #2: Travel & Camp on Durable Surfaces? (because this is a serious question, I am not even going to tell you how wrong you are about hammocks ;) )
Very useful tips
Worth it for the fart joke
Ha ha ha. I always enjoy your snarky videos. Well, we'll call it fake snarky.
Anyway, your points are well-founded (except for the anti- hammock rhetoric...grrr).
I especially would like to add something regarding setting up your shelter NOT on bare ground. I am a tarp guy (go ahead, make jokes...I don't care)...so I have NO floor in my shelter. (BUG MESH...what the heck is THAT ?) I use a 4 x 9 ft. sheet of poly as a "standard" ground sheet...and I ALWAYS endeavour to set up my shelter on top of a pile of leaves. After putting up my tarp, I crawl inside and make myself a nice, comfy sleeping platform out of the leaves, THEN put down my ground sheet. Makes for a much more comfy sleeping spot. Warmer, too.
Oh...and one more thing. My headlamp does not have a removable battery (it is USB chargeable)...gee, you're STILL using disposable batteries ?? How primitive... 😊
Anyway, my lamp has a "lock" mode - and I ALWAYS use it. I highly recommend this ...for the same reason as your battery removal tip.
Some good info…..and some funny sh#t!
Love the hammock insults; they gotta have some humor and laugh at themselves. Waiting to see you drill a whole bunch of holes in a hammock to make it lighter. Andy (shaking his head): “just do yourself a favor………”
That tent at 2:37 looked like a maroon smd sky trekker… 😍
Lightheart gear solo model, I own one. It's like sleeping in a coffin.
@@jacobpoucher well it’s a good lookin coffin ⚰️ 🤣
@brycenewbold. damn I've never won anything before nice!!
I've made a cap for the Sawyer Squeeze by cutting off the thread of a regular bottle, and gluing a flat piece of plastic on it. That way it's waterproof, and you don't need a baggy or something.
Ingenious! I'll have to try that
For the flashlight i got a rechargeable one and there’s an option to turn the flashlight off so it doesn’t get accidentally turned on while in my bag. It’s a black diamond and only rechargeable. Very expensive but very good.
Nice shot of Frozen jammed in there dude.
There is a company called Light Heart Gear that does the shirts like Frozen wore all the time, nice and light and only 99 bucks. They are in North Carolina.
You never hear people talking about this because they're all incredibly obvious. I did these things when I first started backpacking just instinctively and I'm not some backpacking savant.
Common sense ain't so common these days ace! (I agree with your comment)
Common sense is just another way to describe experience. That's why noobs don't have "common sense".. no experience. That experience can be gained personally or taught from the group. Learning from others avoids the potential risks of self learning but has the potential to continue outdated or incorrect ideas if the community doing the teaching isn't updating. Sometimes you just don't know what you don't know
@@seaotter52 that's because these days everyone wants stuff spoon fed to them. This country is in trouble.
@@jacobpoucher That's one possibility, but how about not touching a hot stove? "Common sense" says to not touch.. How did you learn that. Experience, frequently after being warned not to. Two ways to gain experience. In person or being taught. Even critical thinking has to be learned. So regarding the new generation needing to be spoon fed. That is why we have coaches and instructors. Guess pro footballers need to be spoon fed because running a route is common sense. Guess we can let little Suzy and Jimmy run free in the street because common sense says to check both ways. If it was a common human trait it would not have be taught. Has to be trained. Even the stuff in this video. Now how well someone uses this is a continuum, similar to any other activity. Running. Olympic fast to sloth slow. Jumping, singing, painting etc etc etc.
Also, older people tend to think the younger generations are way worse than in reality. I get a kick out of reading the complaints of the older folks complaining about the kids. Goes back thousands of years. Nothing changes. I think these young people are, for the most part, superb.
I pack my tent fly where I can get to it quickly, sperate from the tent. It becomes my emergency shelter in a sudden downpour, or a wind break on a cold day. Your head becomes the center pole. Why travel alone travel with a friends or family. A rain fly makes a warm dry gathering place for the group. Zipp lock bags are handy, but soon become trash. I use Stacher bags, Yes they are expensive, but they are sturdy, see through, seal shut and are waterproof and made from silicone (the stuff glass is made from) Or cook in them. All my gear is in color coded stuff bags or cubes. I know in the dark color code does not work. Think of them as your dresser drawers Stack them in your tent and you are ready for bed and getting ready in the morning. Pillows are redundant if you carry your clothes in a cube. Carry an envelope shaped stuff bag insert the clothes cube wrapped inside your down puffer or vest for an instant pillow that won't go flat overnight. I'm now carrying a micro towel that is 2 feet wide and 5 feet long. Sounds crazy but serves many uses. other than bathing. Think outside the box and come up with five ways you can use it on the trail, on a bike tour, in the tent in an emergency. If you can't then keep using a small towel. Whatever works for you .
From henry and gigi ! Hello , we subscribed, met ya on the trail today ! Cool
You are a perfect spokes person for Mint mobile!
While I do appreciate the humor. I actually learned more about Mint than I have on TV commercials.
… and that hammocks suck, I guess.
Do ultralighters just not carry bearcans?
Great point! Rules are changing everywhere that its now a requirement. I just purchased BV500. It's behemoth! A Leviathan! We've no choice! I miss hiking in 1976!
What's with the side entry tent?
Great tips! Thanks for braving the mossies to make this entertaining video.
HydroBlu has built-in caps on both ends (as well as threads on both ends), so no baggie needed. No blue thread-adapter needed either. No syringe, no sport-cap needed either. Basically everything is built-in with HydroBlu, there are no loose parts to lose. 2) Nitecore headlamps have a lockout-mode to prevent accidental turn-on. Batteries are so Second-Millenia anyway.
Nice Bro….keep it up….
On tip #3, as you're saying that folding it keeps the dirt off the bug net, you literally drop the bug net in the dirt?! I have always folded it lengthwise with the inner bug net on the inside, floor on the outside, keeping the dirt on the outside of the bundle and out of the interior. I couldn't care less if my stuff sack gets a little dirty. Then, as I'm rolling it up, I brush dirt and debris off of the tent floor.
Another tip: if you're using a freestanding tent, before you break it down, open a door on the inner and hold it in the air sideways, shaking any dirt and debris out before you fold it up.
I finally figured out the ditty bag - I call it a "kit" bag because "ditty" just sounds silly - "trick" at Philmont this year. I was the slowest of our crew to pack up in the AM until realized all those items could just be stowed in my fold up day pack inside my main pack.
"Ditty bag" is an old navel term. Sailors would keep their sail needles and palmers in them.
I’m ashamed at how many of these I didn’t think of haha
Robbie you should have learned these things from your uncle thomas!!
Fold the tent in halves then thirds
Then roll
This way the wet outside is always folded on itself
The inner never gets wet
LOL, two in a row about leaving the hammock at home. Don't worry, some day you get old and decide that getting up off the ground isn't worth the effort 🤣
I love Mint Mobile. Had them since the beginning.
Oh and ill never be a dirty ground dweller again. Team Hammock
Where did you get your sunglasses?
Tip: put a strip of plastic between the poles of the batteries of the headlamp. That way your safe and you won’t have to fumble.
That Mint phone deal was SO GOOD...I filed for divorce today...THANKS MAN 👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Majorly helpful and real esp with the ziplocks like we all have those at home, don’t be brainwashed to spend so much on a diddy bag folks!
@@brycenewbold. I’m going solo beach camping in Montauk for the first time next week, super excited/mix with a little anxiousness haha🙈 I just can’t wait to wake up to the ocean and the sunrises/sets
I’ll be honest, I put my filter in my cnoc bag and roll it up, then just dry the outside of the bag and stuff it back in
I’m too worries about my filter getting contaminated to try that. I just roll up the CNOC around my Sawyer.
@brycenewbold. Reporting this fake account. 🙄
Haven’t used batteries in a headlight for years
As for the button getting accidentally pushed, the only time that’s happened was when TSA searched a bag
That’s the reason for carrying a battery pack
what bath tube floor is that?
Very well done sir! I choose not to take offense to your hammock comments.
I’m super confused about your tent folding technique.. you said fold it bottom to bottom so the net never touch’s the dirt.. but then immediately lay the net in the dirt.. was that a mistake? I normally fold inside to inside to keep it from touching the dirt.
Lol. Yes I didn't realize in the clip I did that. It was dry that day. In wet weather I just hold it up and fold it like a towel ... or something
@@BryceNewbold … or something. Lol. Great videos btw, thanks for sharing!
Well about that one tip where you recommend folding your fly/innertent in half with the wet side inside, I don't agree that's the best way to go honestly. Also, laying it down on the ground like you showed in the video, kind of defeats the purpose if that ground is wet and muddy....... You want the inside to stay dry and clean right? So fold it exactly the other way!! The outside tent will probably be wet on all sides too so folding it groundside/dirty side outside is always gonna be preferable if you pack them together, otherwise the wet outer tent will make the inside of the inner fly wet. Sorry I don't now the right names for the components of tents in english
Wait, no hammocks? Wut, why?
Stop hating on hammocks Bryce,great vid your funny as hell man.
Headlamp: instead of removing a battery and having one more thing to keep track of and possibly lose, and then have to find it again in the dark. Because its dark and thats when you are going to need it... just turn one of the batteries upside down. my headlamp has 3 batteries. all i have to do is open it up, flip over the middle battery, and bobs your uncle. Mine too.
Cutting board. This is how I can tell if someone has lived in the woods or not. No matter what their gear looks like, if they don't have a cutting board I'm going to be skeptical. The weight is negligible, carbon neutral, low fat, non dairy, steroid free, gluten free, free range, and free free if you have a plastic notebook cover.
I rather use hammock 😊
I just flip the center battery.
How dare you sir! Your slander of hammocks is grounds for fisticuffs! Jk good tips man. I’ll be honest I’m a tent stuffer %100. I used to fold or roll tents, then when I finally realized I could just stuff it all in and keep the poles separate I did that and never looked back.
I would subscribe again and again just for the hammock hate. 😮😉😉
most headlamps have a lockout mode so u dont accidentally turn them on while stored in your pack.
Sorry I didn't leave a comment on your first video that I watched. This one is wonderful as well
Thank you!
Get a Platypus filter and you don't need the bag.
Never mentioned mags interesting
One of your best! The script, editing, and camera shots...all fantastic. Now if you can only get better actors...
Have you considered hammocks? LOL
thanks for the tip! lol :)
Dude your vid had me cracking up! I subbed and liked. Keep that content coming
Double Zip Freezer bags are so much more waterproof than the stupid ZIP
Never, ever fold your tents. The constant creasing in the same place will cause a leak. Like folding a piece of paper in the same place over and over. Also the structure that is created by folding a piece of material over itself makes it harder to compress. Get a set of compression sacks, shove the stuff in and compress it down
