I am always pleased when a TH-camr goes back to a familiar forest setting and shows the lasting value of previous builds.
I can't wait for the day you build an underground shelter of some description, fantastic channel Andy I've always got time to watch your content, me amongst many others.
maybe that day will come in the autumn ;)
Yes I like andys vlog.
This is a fantastic idea 👍🏻
A dugout would be sick!
Autumns good, grounds not too dry or frozen for digging 🤘
good evening andy i wanted to thank you for your work on youtube your videos are always a source of relaxation after long days of work, keep it up
I love your channel. You are so calm and easy going. No annoying music and beautiful nature. Thank you. Irma from the Netherlands.
Was good to see this Andy. I liked Simon's one when he showed it, and now yours being newer I can see there have been some improvements. These look like a good idea. Worth spending the time to learn an easy way in and out for any new owner I guess. Thanks for sharing with us. Be well. ;o)
yeah, its version 5 now i think, it really feels well thought out and made.. ive since watched some videos on entering and exiting.. think im good for the next trip lol
Brilliant again Andy. Even your simplest food looks amazing. Loved the vid. Very excited for your adventure with Simon.
Another canoe trip. Nice. Looking forward to those videos. Really enjoyed the Sweden videos.
Thanks, me too.. highlight of 2022
I love my DD Jungle hammock and I am a side/back/side/front, rotisserie chicken - style sleeper. Works for me! I genuinely sleep better in a hammock than anywhere else... it might have something to do with good food, beer consumption and fresh air.
Hope you can get used to your hammock; it looks like a great piece of kit.
Your casual mention of the woodshed being close made me smile.
Was just thinking this morning that I hoped a new video would drop for my early Saturday morning viewing! Cheers from the Prairies of Canada!🍻
haha, thanks very much :D
Awesome as always.
I'm just doing a binge-watch.
I love your channel
Thank you, Andy
For sharing your awesome adventures.
GOD BLESS YOU
The jungle look adds to the charm of that spot.
It's normal woodland with tons of bracken fern. That grows worldwide and is actually invasive. It's toxic and hard to get rid of.
Why would you want to get rid of bracken? I thought it was pretty natural.
@@eddplackett, it's EXTREMELY invasive. It's also toxic and has significant effect on ecosystems.
Kudzu, japanese ladybugs, fire ants, african bumblebees, mosquitos, fleas and ticks are natural. Hell, syphilis, gonnorhea, ebola, plague, smallpox, polio and COVID are natural. Body odor and earwax are natural.
I really like that hammock I can not sleep in a normal cocoon hammock... thank you for sharing. A tip on splitting your firewood to save time and your back, I take a bungee strap and stretch it around my bigger wood rounds then split it . That way it does not blow apart a you have to pick up every piece 20 tines each . Later mate
The Norway/Sweden canoe plan, with Simon, sounds great!! Love the ferns at that hammock site. 👍😎🇨🇦🌿🌿🌿🌿
Research the bracken, turns out it's a nasty bugger.
Awesome buddy, welcome to the family. Practice definitely makes perfect when it comes to enter/exit but you will find your natural way of doing it over time. Yes you got the warm pad for sure, I have all three and the red one is definitely best in my opinion. All the best Andy
Hey Tim mate, cheers.. ive watched a few tips on getting in / out so im prepared for next time haha.. think im going to use my quilt with this set up too so i dont have to faff getting in the bag inside the hammock lol
Cheers Andy for another awesome video I'm having a fry up with a nice chilled beer like your homk , camping this weekend with the wife and son back on Monday thanks for awesome video and you cook delicious food in your videos cheers 👍🙂
Great human being. Cheers, from Boston, MA
Thoroughly enjoyed that video, the hammock looked wonderful.
Wow man, You never stop mesmerising us with your incredible, soothing camping videos ❤️
Awesome Camp Sir Andy ✊🏼🧐! Cant wait for the series with Sir Simon. Cheers from across the pond, California 🇺🇸 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼
Great video , as usual, Andy. Thanks
I don't know whether or not I should be ashamed of this, but I grew up bushcrafting before TH-cam was a "thing" and you could get rich from it. So I only visit for your delicious campfire cooking. Hope that's not offensive mate... Love your cooking videos 👍
Love the videos dude, great content and great learning from you. Famous last words indeed for the rain we are in England after all ;) I'm based in Kent as well around the Medway towns but love to get out into the country for some camping, find it so relaxing and great to have time to clear the head. Keep the fantastic content coming. M&M's for the win!!!
Up the Medway possy
I love the idea of a cheap hammock. Simple, quick bed anywhere. Unfortunately I can’t get comfortable in em, slide around, hard to move, and end up in a ball while sleeping.
I always look forward to seeing you Andy. Sure glad I seen this one. Stay safe stay healthy
Haven Tents, "Haven XL" is a much better lay flat hammock that can also be used as a 1 man ground tent. Easier to get in and out of and much more intuitive.
Hi, beautiful nature. Great vacation.👍
Your channel is great no bs.
Always a winner Andy, been here since 5k subs and still loving your videos :) peace brother!
Hi Andy, thanks for the great video as always. Nice bit of kit. Be well and safe.
Insanely good channel. Andy, you have great taste in food, beer and the great outdoors! Looking forward to your next trip to Norway! 🍺
Seeing that pork makes me think about my heart. My mitral valve was replaced with a pig valve.
Awesome Andy. Your evening session was well worth a good laugh, that bread I cannot name either, evening or night, the last little bit of pork uneaten, brilliant stuff. Love the hammock, not taken to hammocks myself so flat would be ideal. Great video, all the best cheers.
Waiting for your flask to be back in stock. Want to order one for myself.
Another cool option for a flat bottom hammock is the Haven tent - I got one a few years ago and it's awesome. The only addition I'd need to make is that an extra tarp overtop wouldn't be out of place.
This system seems cool as well, i like the sitting option.
Andy, has anyone ever told you that you and your channel are just absolutely amazing? 👍
❤️From 🇦🇺 🐱
🤗 why thank you very much Cat
I found when trying to split a big log if you take some section off the outside of the log first, the log looses integrity (?) and is just generally easier to split. Or something like that, don’t quote me.
best camping chef on the internet change my mind
I've been using hammocks for years. I do carry a Free Shoulders 10x10.5 tarp for rain. I prefer to be off the ground, but mine also can be staked down and used as a tent
Awesome Video 📹 👏 cheers from the USA 🇺🇸 👍
Always look forward to your show ,the best of its kind on TH-cam
I can almost smell that campfire wonderful
Looks great. I like the flat style hammock. Looking forward to seeing you and Simon on another trip.
if you connect the airbag to the madress and open it then you put your face about half meter away and blow in to the bag thats much easyer then try to catch the air =) hope you understand what i ment. =)
thanks for the video and keep it coming =)
I just bought the Amok system and am looking forward to using it camping and on our sailboat. Apparently, sailing is what it was created for initially.
Happy Wednesday Mr Andy great Video Today 😃👍❤️
Andy, I have seen the tarp used as a diamond over the hammock. Lost Lakes uses that hammock exclusively with the tarp. Its a very cool rig. Thanks Again, Nick
Andy, I'm looking forward to your trip to Norway. Thank you for all of the videos!
Good god 12.8 per cent total for both drinks from the Kent brewery wow, I myself have drunk 2 ciders at 12 per cent together but very nice 👌
Your food always looks so good. I frequently cook what I have seen you cook, in my backyard kitchen, as I am past the age of camping. I really wish that all the equipment had been available when i was younger. It looks magnificent.
Thank you again for the tip about the sausages. Best sausage ever.
That Hammock is amazing. Very interesting. Just love your channel. Love the bracken in the back ground. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels
I would absolutely love to watch you do a dig out! My mum took us camping all of the time. Michele Knightdale, NC USA
That blow up mattress is a good idea Kent..someone had a brain wave to do it like that ,saves blowing it up.
Thanks Andy ,another enjoyable video.
Great to see my local Time and Tide brewery getting a shout. Makes many of its beers from hops grown by locals in gardens, allotments etc. The IPA kicks like a can-can dancer in Doc Martens. Fitting beer for the spirit of your vid's.
That looks comfy
it sure is.. just to get the hang of the entry and exit now.. ive seen a few tips for next time haha
You are such a inspiration. Love all your video. I have learnt so many things on how to camera position, angles ❤️. I shot my first ever camping video yesterday here in West Australia. Can't wait to edit and release it next week ❤️
Next time you are having a braai (meats and sausages on coals)like we call it here in south Africa pour over some beer on the meats while cooking it tastes fantastic trust me👍
Great video's
A few more of those beers and the hammock won't matter
Great advice. Researching this very topic and you mentioned loads of helpful things, I’m one step closer to getting the perfect hammock rig. Cheers!
I also found that I enjoy the winter mats a bit more, rather have it a bit warmer then to cold.
What a fab woodshed , love it!
A little hint with splitting the larger rounds, instead of the middle staart at the edges, remember to keep your knees sliightly bent. Always a privilege watching, take care.
There is a hand tool for splitting log rounds like that. It's called a block or log splitter. It's like an axe but the head's far broader like a wedge forcing the log to split rather than the narrow axe head burrowing in.
Good to see you camping out again, Andy. Looking forward to seeing your Scandinavian adventure, as I lived there for four years. Don’t forget the mosquito preparations! ATB
oh theres a bushcraft ready nice
Andy, another great video and really interesting to see the Amok hammock, I think it looks pretty good, and I’m looking forward to your full review of it. Just a thought, but I wonder if it might be worth stashing a heavier axe, with a longer handle, in your wood shed as it may make easier work of splitting the larger logs than your current one. Cheers.
Lovely video Andy, Thank You.
Good ol' Ange'!
Awesome video, thanks for the up-load.
Great brewery time and tide Andy . Good choice . We have their beers in my micro pub ! .
Awesome video great setup and fantastic meal! Way to go Andy!
Outstanding video I love the scenery in this video fantastic outstanding view keep up with the fantastic outstanding work
I am intrigued by this hammock, I also am a side/foetal sleeper and can usually manage something in a gathered end hammock. Certainly better than on the floor. The trick for me has been to get a big one. 10-11ft length minimum (I’m 6’2 )with a good sag setup using a structural ridgeline and underquilt, no mat.
Instead of this Amok style hammock, you should look into bridge hammocks. You can use more standard hammock products without having to use Amok specific gear. I have a Dutchware Banyon. Outstanding product. You can use an underquilt or a sleeping pad for warmth.
I put a DD hammock ground sheet underneath which gives me something to stand on without boots whilst getting in and out. To get in I stand to the left of it facing the foot end, grab the middle strap on the right with my right hand and the middle strap on the left with my left hand then kind of slide in. You get used to it, finding your centre of gravity gets easier. I do the same getting out.
The beer thing: genius
That last bite of pork Lol! Another great video. Cool hammock, always an awesome fire good food and great humor.
That hammock is some nifty bit of kit. But even in the hand of experienced hammock campers it's quite a hand full to actually get the acquired set up.
Andy, You're such a sweetheart and I love your videos.
Привет! Очень красивое и познавательное видео!
That was a nice shot of the only surviving wildlife in England 😂
I am officially hungry now, I could taste/smell the char and wood smoke from that meat being cooked over a fire. That's enough to make a person really miss camping minus the biting/stinging bugs, heat and swampy humidity where I am lol
I've made my own version of this hammock with a £20 hammock from Amazon and an Intex excursion 4 inflatable boat. Sort of thing Andy would make a video about...
Thanks again, I love your Program Lol
Love to do what Andy does.
You are making me so hungry Andy good luck On your upcoming trip ☺️
New to your channel and recommended from Simon's channel. Really looking forward to your trip to Norway/Sweden and hopefully by that stage you have worked out how to get into the Amok more gracefully - I spat my tea all over my computer when you got in for the first time! Really good content which has a tone and pace that is very relaxing.
Awesome video
wahey i'm from deal. might have to get one of those beers. noticed the timeball tower on the can.
Pack some sandwiches for that float trip so you don't catch Montezumas revenge again
Very cool hammock, scary to great in and out . ❤❤❤
Not sure if you watch 'Lost Lakes' but Jon has been swearing by the Amok for years now on his crazy canoe camps, in temps so low we can only imagine in the UK. It should be perfect for you in Norway.
I have to admit I hate hammocks but I'd consider one of those...if I didn't need several miles of line between trees on the moor, lol.
The hammock looked great . I have seen it before but never being used . The food looked amazing . I havent been able to find any pork belly where I live . I would love to smoke some. Great video as always Andy! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
저는 한국 🇰🇷 캠퍼입니다 따라해보고 싶어지는 너무 멋진 영상이네요 👍🏻
Nice video ,I've had one of these for a few years now ,love it .
Brilliant Andy, great vlog as always ,looks a good bit of kit that Amok. ATVB , Scott Somerset
That's a sweet set up.i don't use a hammock because I'm a side sleeper.but I will have to try thus one
I use this hammock too 😊
The food was cooked perfect
We love Simon! Include in more videos ❤
