Hammock Vs. Tent Camping In The Rain | Versus Series Ep. #1

- I was given a hammock by www.warbonnetoutdoors.com And I'm not sure I'll ever sleep on the ground again. Tents are great if it's nice out and you're not alone but I'm thinking that I may be a hammock camper for life now. This is not a Paid Endorsement I made a video a while back to say thank you for the hammock so I don't owe them anything I just really love my Hammock. Best nights sleep outside ever and at this point, I have slept in it 8 days in a row and a total of 20 times overall. I was sold that first time. When I slept in it and found out you can sleep flat and on your Stomach if you wish. In my mind, there is no way the Hammock could ever beat a Tent again. Of course, I say that now as a single guy someday I may have to rethink this position ;)

Are they ACCURATE or Lethal? Thought we would go Old school Trick shot This week So I dug out my old wrist rocket slingshot. As a kid i played with the old wrist rocket slingshot here and there but only became frustrated with its In accuracy. And when i hung up my bow in Favor of Learning the slingshot to take with me on History channel the Survival show Alone I went old school And bought A wrist rocket Slingshot. And once again the old frustrations return. And despite being A fairly well practiced Archer Accurate see with the slingshot alluded me. I had to ask myself was the slingshot to old school could it do the job in a survival situation.

Hey bobby Duke nice to see you!!
Lol you made nice videos, both of you
Lol

I feel like i just watched a pro hammock propaganda film.
Ikr 😂 I could have pitched my tent just as fast as the hammock guy
Hammock master race.
I'm enlisted in the waffen DD
So true.
Drink the cool aid.
Hammocks are the way
Seems like somebody just bought stock in a hammock compny.
Pump and dump baby lol
Lmao
Nailed it. First time you setup your hammock system in the rain, you instantly become a hammocker for life!
I LOVE that they added the "stuck zipper" tent problem! Classic and hilarious! 😂
i read your comment while it was happening😆
Tent man: *scrapes water out of the tent*
Also tent man: *squeezed his jacket full of water inside the tent*
Slade TV Is he going to get out in the rain to squeeze it out?
And set it up with the door open
1:47 Takes off shoes.
4:18 Takes a piss on shoes.
Stolen idea for a comment
Exactly what i thought 😂
Didn't notice that lol
The camera guy tf
He did it on opesitte side
For me a tunnel tent with removable inner is the perfect work around for extended cold damp conditions. Huge fan of hammocks in the summer.
I have set up a tent in the rain before without the water getting everywhere like that. While I respect the very clear difference you showed it is actually possible to stay pretty close to bone dry setting one up in the rain... Then again we always had a ground tarp or two to go with the tent and could use one as a shelter like you did with the hammock when setting up. 😁😋
People on drugs at festivals set up tents faster
was about to say that LMAO
That’s the point
People on drugs shit and piss on tents at festivals a lot faster when Swampy has been pushed over in the portaloo yet again! 😂😂😂
Lol
I hate when people like this post obviously biased comparison videos... he could've easily set up the tent under the canopy he strung in the trees just as fast as the hammock... and end up with a dry, much more functional, living space for one or more people.
Stupid video.
I think the true lesson here is tarps are the real mvps
Yep you'll never be very dry without at least 2 good tarps.
good luck finding trees
@@jessiesmith9643 yeah, trees are super rare
i don't see any tarps
Van TARTS he put a tarp over the hammock, only reason he stayed dry
I love unbiased and fair comparison videos.
While this is true and hammock camping is superior, he used an awesome hammock and the worst Walmart tent he could find
I AGGREE
Yo that would be the best video a side-by-side comparison top-tier hammock vs. Cheap hammock top-tier tent versus cheap tent
I wonder if Warbonnet makes awesome tents too?
This was like those commercials for kitchen gadgets when the people completely wreck their kitchens trying to scramble an egg, then they use the Incredible Egg Scrambling Machine and all of a sudden they’re making gourmet meals! 😂😂😂
I assure you, this video had nothing to do with eggs

@@llawliet1249 replying to remind you about the egg video.

I LIVE IN THE DESERT. GOOD LUCK FINDING TWO TREES.
Didn't Think of that Ya that would be a Problem
Won't have to worry about stumps, rain, leaves, uneven ground or widow makers either. Also no water yikes!
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Fowler can you demonstrate a tree less hammock setup?? Ken kramm did it with 2 walking poles. Love to see you do it.
There is actually a company that makes a hammock hanger that you drive over in you car or truck and it holds the poles out away from the vehicle so you can literally hang a hammock anywhere..
@@stevenbennett3244 th-cam.com/video/1w8-frN2UrQ/w-d-xo.html seems fun,,,maybe for tailgating, or car camping, but if youndont have a car? Also, who's packing that in? Lol thanks for the share!
I'm a tent person when it comes to the shelter but prefer to cowboy camp. Love the humor in setting up the tent. There are some real struggles for sure in the rain. I just have issues with my legs going numb when I sleep in a hammock. I would love to race you setting up my duplex for fun one day 😁
ok i just bought a hammock and tarp for my 1st trip. Thanks for the video i guess tents are quite useless considering the prework you have to do in order to make you sleep comfortable. what is also really nice is you can put the hammock very far up so you are safe from critters and stuff.
Based on how intentionally difficult he was making that tent looked, this felt like an infomercial for hammock camping.
Info what..
For real
@@heroicsoldier401yt6 infomercial
Well yeah obviously lol he prefers hammocks hes recommending them over tents
"has this ever happened to you?" *Shows man flailing poles intentionally like a moron *
Wow that was a painfully one-sided video
LOL
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief way to really tackle the comment and criticism in a mature and meaningful way.
@@Flabfactory You're right
Flabfactory is that sarcasm
Its accurate, all the water puddles up, and the ground is hard as a rock
Very good comparison. For many years, I have been sleeping in a hammock on the beach, in the mountains and in the jungle and I feel protected from the elements and mosquitoes ... The comfort provided by the hammock is unmatched. Excellent !!
Hilarious! I loved this. From the beginning, I could see which side of the fence you're on, and under these circumstances, I would definitely agree with you. I've slept in a hammock in the rain, and it was wonderful. No matter how soppy it got on the ground, I knew it wasn't going to bother me. By the way, I've relieved myself though the bottom entry of my Hennesy Hammock, but it's not quite as elegant as the move you portrayed.
Hello there 😊 I like this video and I suppose this is quite exaggerated and on the humour side, but for thoose not knowing about tents, not be confused :
This video is comparing a nearly fully equipped hammock set vs a low price tent.
If you look at mountaineering tents for example, outer layer goes down to the ground, and there is a tiny tunnel at the entrance usually. This allows you to build your outer layer while exposed to the rain (doesn't matter if the outer layer is wet), and then to build the inner layer (carried in a waterproof bag/container) protected from the rain. Here is a quick summary of (good) tent vs (good) hammock+tarp :
Tents: does not need trees, are warmer than hammock, are usable even with super brutal wind
Hammocks: usually lighter, allows to put the tarp higher, and thus stand under tarp, does not need a flat ground, you can use them even if the floor is water, more surface under tarp, usually faster to set up
So which one is better ? neither. Hammocks are wonderful when there are trees around, tents offer better protection but are heavier and take longer to set up. What too choose depends on your preferences as well as the environment you go through.
Have fun traveling 😊
In addition to your already great points. With an under blanket in colder temperatures a hammock setup could way the same as or more than a tent.
And don't forget people, if you've got the tarp, that's a shelter on its own. Way up your options people, and know roughly where your staying, and what the terrain is like.
@@thomasmorris2568 a tent tend to have a better insulation potential than hammock, since you are lower on the ground and in a "closed air space" of course it depends on the tent and on the hammock set you choose, and anyway, in most situations where the cold will force you toward the choice of a tent over a hammock, there will be no tree around for the hammock...
And the tarp can as well been carried with a tent... I would even say that for long long hikes you can carry both tent and hammock, since hammock weight and space occupation is really negligible in regard of a big hiking backpack 😂
Another really nice side of hammock is that you can set it high enough to be protected from most of wildlife during your sleep 🤔
Ok
who writes an essay as a youtube comment kmt
@@luftwaffler4618 probably not the LAZY raptor :)
I think what we all just learned here is that no matter what you use: PUT UP A TARP FIRST ;-)
Yeah and collect dry wood before the torrential rain comes in
Don't disturb it he has 69 likes
No matter what you do have some rain cloak for yourself
growlith6969 you could also get rid of al those wet leaves with a shovel, or keep an extra smaller tarp to put on the ground before setting up a tent if you like using tents instead of hammocks.
@@bobbyhill4118 new to camping. Why wouldn't you want wet leaves under your tent? Wouldn't that just be more padding? The water wouldn't permeate, right?
As a true lover campist I loooved a hammock immediatelly. So simple and yet so cosy. Thanks for the video.
The joy of knowing I won't experience any of these tent troubles with my Lanshan 2 :)
This is why you need a good, proper tent.
There is something about the thought of laying in a wet sleeping bag that haunts my dreams!
I did that once because of circumstances. Kid you not I should have gotten hypothermia because of that. But because the boiling hot rage inside my body I managed to survive a whole night sleeping under the rain in a wet tent, on a wet matress and in a wet sleeping bag...
I did that, my voice was gone the next day
I did that as a kid. Learned real quick that water seeps in.
Hammock for life.
Hammock man wakes up and realises he pissed all over his shoes last night
Legendary
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
B1N4RY nah! I just hang my shoes by their laces onto the ridgeline and under the tarp. It gets them off the ground and away from bugs and slugs etc... I did accidentally piss all over a matt black low profile stealth tent that had sneaked in on one occassion though? Hammockers one, tent dwellers zero! 😂😂😂
@@MrDegsy69 hahahaha
My hammock is comfortable......but I still get up to piss. Have I been doing it wrong. How do I teach my wife to do it?
I love how you used the newest and the best for your hammock style yet used a tent style that's been around 40+ years for your tent. Don't they make a spring loaded type now? Also I'd like to see my family of four utilize a hammock instead of a tent, oh, and the youngest is two...
I love seeing the hammock haters because of this video. Let’s be real, with a super fly it’s better than a tent. You can lounge in a chair under it and set the fly so rain doesn’t get the ground wet in your little den you made. I personally invested in the -20c under quilt super fly and the Warbonnet xl
Lol 1 minute in, it was pretty obvious you wanted hammock to win
Snowman11 I’m glad we all noticed that
Yeah, this video was extremely biased
Yeah. Why would he even put the tent in the open?
The tent is garbage.
Exactly
From what I am seeing this has told me to just get a tarp 😂😂
Yeah
😂🤣😂🤣
Kinda what I was thinking. You can still string the tarp in the trees and set up the tent underneath. Back when I was a kid when we used to go camping we had a 15x30 or so large tent set up. Just metal poles and a huge tarp over top. Everyone set up there tents around that so there was a big common area with private tents.
I always bring tarp with my tent, and i am getting and hammock also. Tartp is awsome stuff to make shade in sumer, or to block wind in winter, it makes camping more comfy.
I lived in a few forests for a couple of years. It is best to cover the tent with a tarp, cover the inside walls with a light sheet, and raise the tent slightly off the ground.
Pro tip for hammock sleeping - have a rolled up towel to use for a pillow, you can tighten or loosen the roll to adjust under your neck. Spent a few months hammock living and this was a life saver.
Tent guy should have set up a separate canopy like hammock guy did.... pretty sure that would have solved 90% of tent water problems.
definitely
Nathan Schmoekel agree with u. Also seems to be raining harder with tent man. Tent better overall if you know what your doing.
Thats what I do. Works well for me
That's what I do , I just bought a tent when the bug net and the rain fly are completely separate. So you can set up tarp first then while you are in it you can put up the bug net. Completely dry !
Dual ADV yeah good point. I guess canopy mam is in trouble if he doesn't have a trees around. Lol
The lack of sense of humour in the comment section is fascinating.
I know right. Why so serious
The only creature on the planet that controls its own kind... They can't help it 😎
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief I just want you to know you have inspired me... To almost fall out of my hammock in my own piss twice lol. Still working on that move.
It's like some folks done have any.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief sad sad lives..
I’m sure that you could probably set up a quality single wall tent without it flooding. Deploying the hammock tarp is the key though to staying dry. You have to hang your pack on the guyline under the tarp or bag it to keep it from flooding in excessive water along the ground. Just an extra step after the hammock is set up.
Each system is great in particular environments.
Your shop is amazing! Can't wait to get some gear
Don’t leave us in suspense! Tell us which style of camping you prefer!
LOL
🤣🤣
I just spit my coffee out! Lol!!
Hammock
@Top 5 wooooosh
I mean this is fair, hammocks kinda win in this situation, but lets see you win in an area with only bushes and no trees.
gotmoosefur I’ve got a hammock that uses a sleeping pad and has a bug net and a rain fly.
So even when there’s no trees, I can still set up my hammock it just doesn’t hang.
Can’t do the same with a tent.
Chrispewkreme yeah you can’t set up a tent if there’s no ground 😂 but I’m a hammock fan too.
@@mathisdukatz1985 where the fuck we going to camp where there isn't ground lol? We going camping in space?
RogueAero invite me when you go bro
@@RogueAero XD
I agree with you and I prefer a hammock and tarp in the warm or cool with her more than a tent.
That being said, if you would have set up a tarp first and placed your tent under it, you would have avoided 80% of the problems you had. Tarp would also help keep the sun off.
On the plus side, I have been through some powerful thunderstorms in the hammock tarp that have knocked down tents and soaked everything inside
I enjoyed the comedy you added. Thanks for having fun with it!
It just dawned on me that this is the man who won season 3 of alone
Hammock works great until you don't have trees
Or its cold
he needs to bring some tress in case he didnt find any :)
@@yohohohowkclooh949 I always carry at least a couple trees as part of my survival kit.

Or maybe above the tree-line where the real adventures begins! 👍
Hammock camping looks pretty luxurious
Ok. I'm sold! I want a hammock tent like this! So practical
I got dizzy from you stepping inside the tent with dirty shoes on.

Who sets up a tent while the front door is open? Unfair battle.
Halfdan Ravn he clearly has no idea how to set up a tent
Jim Jim he should do some ground tarp camping.
@@jamesmoriarty3962 Regardless you would still get a lot more wet using a tent. It's impossible to keep the water out when you need to pee etc
@@MMA-CLIPS2 especially when you're using a cheap Walmart tent like that garbage he's using in the video. It doesn't have a full cover fly. Worthless. It's a child play tent at best.
@@jamesmoriarty3962 also if his tent was designed to be put up in rain (inner first) he wouldn't have that problem
I love that Hamic and the shelter love it
probably the best hammock advertisement i've seen so far
A little exaggerated... but nonetheless, I hate you because now I feel like I need a hammock.
LOL
it actually is a pretty good idea. never realized it until I saw this video.
Its the most comfrotable sleep ive gotten in the woods,typical setup time is about 2-5min flat
Jaso0074 I just bought a top of the range Coleman ridgeline 3person tent and I feel the same.. :(
@@sim1000en academy has prrtty cheap 3 person hammocks and you can throw up a cheap blue tarp till ya get feeling like you need to invest in a nicer tarp i would suggest the kelty noahs tarp of you get serious, and you should check out "shugemery" on youtube hes a wealth of know how
Him stepping inside the tent with his shoes...my ocd started to kick in.
Im sold! Most amazing camping video I have ever seen in my life.
I have watched this about 50 times
Just looking at this video as what it is, a funny video, it's still pretty much accurate and for years I've just adopted hammock because it's so practical, fast, light and comfortable when you're only there for one night, there's nothing better. Of course tents have their own best pros like very cold weather, no trees area or some other specific situations.
But for a random hike in a forest area, I will always pick the hammock over the tent.
thanks for this tip, i can sleep in the rain now with my hammock 🤤
I got childhood flashbacks of my Dad taking us tent camping in the rain (Washington state) all the time. I hated having a horrible night's sleep because no matter what water seeped into the tent and the sleeping bag.
We get it , you hammock bro 😂❤️
Gay Chicken Nuggets all hammockers are top fans! 😂😂😂
I was sold when you're able to piss out the side of the hammock... Never thought of that...
But he pissed on his shoe's
It’s all fun till u lean over that little bit too far and it flips u out into a puddle of piss 😂
@@stevenprofit83 Use some extra pressure and piss further away...
I can't do this...
I'd be nervous about getting a waft of my piss all night, doesn't sound fun
Mr Zak just keep doing this coz I really enjoy every moment
I love how many tent people actually got offended by this😂
LOL
Shit was funny man 😂😂😂
DisabledGamer you sound offended the video is a joke the tent probably cost like $20 and the hammock is a highly expensive one
Funny if your 14 yrs old..
@DisabledGamer calm down. Don't stoop to his level. You made your point and that's fair.
I'm watching this in my Hammock while waiting the rain to stop.
@Istdbdbbd probably not, dude's still swinging up there
same
It's been a year, Are you still up there?
Well done. Great job editing. Really enjoyed your video. I smiled the whole way through 😊
I mean, if there's rain in the forecast, bring a tarp, some rope, and extra stakes? Run a ridge line between two trees, or from high on one tree to the ground, and set up underneath that? I think this is a matter of coincidence in favor of the hammock (had a tarp shelter anyway), versus poor planning on the tent guy's part. Of course the unprepared one will lose.
I could be wrong but I think Fowler rather enjoys tent camping...
LOL
What can we say
Fowler obviously likes it rough ☺
id just set up a tarp then put my tent under it
Exactly. Either way.... always..TARP First. : )
If one is hiking about.. a hammock maybe makes more sense. If staying put ... I'll take the tent. More room to move around in inclement weather.
I'd get claustrophobic in a hammock.
Ideally I'd do a tent with a bathtub floor, and two tarps.... or a Hilton with a hot tub. 🤗
Rogdgnt
Perfect!
The only disadvantage to that is torrential downpours that almost instantly flood the ground in 3 inches of water. Then you get the meaning of a bathtub floor lol. I once broke out the soap and had a bath in a tent. It took all the next day to dry my gear.
Ten’t
I've always been more of a lay a ground cloth down and sleep under the stars kinda guy but that hammock looks pretty cool. It's also making tent people big mad and I find that hilarious
Please make a video of you sleeping under the stars during RAIN ..
4:17 is why I would become a tent guyyy.. hahaa
Stepbro what are u doing
3:40 don't forget to take that thing back
It looks like he put it in the side pocket
I've seen 80 year old men set up tents faster, and they wernt even in need of immediate shelter.
LOL, one minute in and I can see which has the advantage!! Thanks....though I guess I could make a case for throwing up a tarp and then setting up a tent under it. Never the less....Great Video!!
I prefer to have a tent under a big tarp like that. You combine both protections and benefits. Exepts if there is a river under your tent of course... but you can use a wood stick to dig a drain canal all around the tent to avoid that. It's like 10min more but it's very better for cold and windy seasons. But your demo is correct ;)
So is he pro tent or pro hammock? I can't tell.
Pro Tent ?
pro tent i guess
@@mbarchello5903 that's what I'm thinking
Tent I geuss didn't make it very clear
No its hammock, am I the only smart person here?
I'm a hammock man also but, when my lady wants to join on a camp trip, it's extremely difficult to play party of two in my ENO double nest lol. So.... To any guys/gals with a "beautiful anchor" keep a lightweight tent handy.
Possibly a 10×10 tarp for that surprise rain lol.
Lose the wife bro
@@coopergoss350 I've tried... Haha
Got my first hammock, wanna try it out soon! Tents are great and they each have pros and cons... next thing I want to get is a one person bivy style tent.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Jerry flies first class and Elaine is stuck in coach 😃. This is so hilarious - I love it! And it makes it that much better that the guy won in a season of Alone. Great video - informative in a funny and entertaining way.
I have both hammock and tent. Vastly prefer the comfort of the hammock for most camping, but you can't always find a hang in some parts of the country. Yeah, can do to ground with a hammock but that is definitely far from best. This video definitely showed why the hammock shines when setting up or striking camp in the rain! Yeah, he exaggerated things a bit, but not too much. I hate sleeping wet. It has NEVER happened with the hammock. I even slept hanging over a tiny stream one rainy trip.
Right off the bat, this is a bias video. Why is the tent man sad about the rain. That's why there's covers.
LOL thanks for watching
also why not throw up a tarp then set up your tent ? I hate rain flys so its what I do
Congrats you killed the joke
@@thorne79us exactly there is no point in this video lol you can put traps over a tent just as easy as the dumb ass hammock
Its all for the sake of entertainment!
Beautiful 😄😄
I think this is the first demonstration that shows the ease of a hammock, and the pain of a tent. Very well done, and an eye opener, for me. Thanks.

@@vondahe no they are not, look closely.
Don't fall
3:09 LOOOL man love this video :)
thanks
I never tried hammock camping but several times did tent camping and each time I hated it. Finding a perfect smooth spot for a tent takes time, setting up a tent takes time (and if it's raining like in the video it's awful), each time condensation problems even with ventilation open, bad air to breathe (for people with asthma it's also awful), no visibility unless you take a peek outside of your tent. This video actually made me to try hammock camping.
Used to have a kids tent. Long time ago. My Friends had hammocks. 6'3" in a kid tent. Hammocks are definitely the way. Still got my little faithful tent. So little it was easy to put up. 😂
Two years later, I just love the amount of tent campers feeling so offended in the comments.
It's pretty funny..
@@ThisIsMusic1985 look at the date it was published. TH-cam rounds weird.
@@ThisIsMusic1985 all good bro/sis
Two years later, I just love the amount of hammock campers thinking tent campers are so offended ;) :D
Btw.: I also have a hammock but I don't use it that often - not enough trees where I am allowed to camp :(
@@Sqwan2 Right? I literally don't see anyone of them. Just tent campers making Jokes and morons saying "Wow tent people are really offended" lol...
God this hurt to watch lmao.
I love both types of setups but this reminded me of one of those crappy 90s infomercials where people actually acted like their brains fell out when trying to put something together. You're great at that.
Also love the part where you added in a rain track on the dry hammocking video parts. Thumbs up for creativity =].
This is so funny. This is so true 😂
If I did this my dad would never stop camping! Also sooo true
Absolutely brilliant!
I have experienced both situations.
Your video says the truth. Thank you!
Try a pop up tent faster more reliable and you don't waist time hunting trees, yes hammock is better than laying on the floor but useless if your not in the woods
Lee Russell yeah but pop up tents are usually flimsy and will have a hard time fitting in a backpack
I dont think many people have problems finding trees at their camping trips - but i remember having had some minor issues with finding a nice place to put up my tent...
Espen Haug you’ve obviously never done any high altitude hiking
@@enduroridernw No, I´m a regular guy, lol... And i must say, not even my bed is as comfortable as my hammock 😊 I'm even gonna order one to have in my bedroom 👍 Can't believe I have lived 36 years without a hammock 😛
Espen Haug Yeah but that won’t work for us mountain climbers. I dare you to bring a hammock to Mt Rainier 😂😂 you will be laughed at 🤣
Thanks for the humorous video. Both systems have their advantages and drawbacks. Using one of the crummiest tent designs out there with pole pockets is hardly a comparison. Try a big Agnes or REI design with dual vestibules. I can easily get in my Big Agnes in under 3 minutes and have done it in 2 minutes flat. Trees or good supports for a hammock are not plentiful nationwide, only in some areas. You could freeze yur arse in the desert Southwest at night in a hammock IF YOU COULD HANG IT SOMEPLACE. Temperature drops of 50 degrees after sundown are not uncommon. I like the new high tech hammocks but not suitable for me.
Beautiful place. very reconciling.
You have convinced me that its a good idea getting a tunnel tent with a nice absid; they offer a clear separation of the inner tent and the rain, which you can pre-install before you head out, and you can even cook food inside the absid if its raining.
Apsis
@@tiltil9442 Sorry, it's called absis in my language... and apparently a few more judging by Wikipedia.
I really wish I knew about these hammocks for the long ass time I was homeless. In England its always raining and most nights my life was exactly what tent man is going through 😂 ordering one of these just in case
That rainfly for the hammock is dope
Brilliant :). Nights feel colder in hammocs btw :)
I am right now on my own hammock, a traditional one made of cotton. It´s fresh in our tropical climate and warm at coldest nights. Yes, in the mountains I used to live, sometimes we are around 15 fo 20 Celsius.
Having camped with both, I can say, tents are to be used in specific conditions and terrains. For isolation camping, hammock it is.
Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
It’s not the one or the other.
I own both. For some trips (e.g. the rainforest) the hammock is better suited, for other trips the tent.
Depends on where you going and what you plan to do.
I prefer the hammock, but choose accordingly to my plans..
I like both. I was favouring the hammock, but had a very windy and wet night in mind last year. Since then I'm favouring the tent.
Fantástica demonstração 👏👏👏
Never thought about the advantage of setting up the tarp first. Well done, loved it!
