Solo Kayak overnight adventure - Yak and Hammock Expedition

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- Did my first ever solo expedition. Packed up the yak and brought along my new Hennessy Explorer hammock. I got to say that kayak camping was a pleasant experience. The trip was a quick one-night expedition in Bjørnefjorden, Western Norway.
The kayak is a Boreal Baffin P2, and the hammock is a Hennessy Explorer Asym Zip.

I absolutely LOVE this adventure. Kayaking, beer, coffee,...... and drones? You NAILED it!!!
Workin' Things Out Thanks! It was a lot of fun - and it’s cheap and quick to get out there too
I absolutely don't get why when I do exactly the same, and then some, and get frustratingly none views
but not your bad - nice adventure O4L!
wow, good quality, nice video, good story. I like it. Thx. And for sure, that´s the best restaurant in the world!
I have used a Hennessy Hammock for over a decade. Best nights sleep I ever get is in that hammock. I have hung it off rock cliffs, between trucks, trees, burned out buildings, inside my house.... the mistake you made was using the mattress.
Few tricks to staying warm in cold weather.
2 pillows. Place the pillows under your body and a good cold weather sleeping bag and you can weather horrible weather that can kill.
You will get to the point that putting up the hammock will only take 1 minute.
Ohh yeah I always bring ear plugs when camping. Nature is overtly louder then most people are prepared for.
Also ... I highly recommend the kelly kettle.
MrMDK187 I had to look up the kelly kettle, never heard about it- looks good!
You’re right, that mattress wasn’t the greatest success... tried with no mattress in a warm part of the summer and that was bliss.
If you lived around here I’d ask you to come along for a trip so I could pick up a few tricks :-)
The installation is taking shorter time already. So convenient compared to a tent!!!
Hammock sleeping is the only way I can sleep (spine issues).
If your still hammock camping try splashing g some cash on the Amok Hammocks from Norway 🇳🇴. Now THAT is a fantastic sleep.
It’s like like a bed and turns into a seat also with its adjustable straps.
It is a nightmare to get into though but no regrets once your inside one.
Great adventure. I have a sea kayak and henessey hammock. Love both. Beatifull area you are in.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.
Am looking forward to doing some kayak camping myself some time.
Just go out and make it happen 👍
Very neat video editing. Good for summer etc... synethetic bag. Cheap, dries quick if gets wet. Also can use bag liner only, with small blanket.
I use a windburner MSR.... very quick, valve adapts to altitude and cold, as long as u use msr or similar fuel works good in cold. Use a long spoon... only thing it dosnt simmer easily. Can turn off, cover , leave a few mins, then,reheat while stirring.
This little island you are set up at is very much used for hammock camping. In the summer it's almost people camping there all the weekends. No wonder because it's super nice!
T Lunde da må jeg finne nytt sted til neste tur - litt av gleden var å ha stedet for seg selv 😀 Vi er kjempeheldig, her er så utrolig mange flotte steder for kajakk og hengekøye. I vinter campet vi litt på kalneset med kajakk og telt, veldig bra sted når en ønsker morgensol ☀️
Beautifull area to paddle ! Great video, see you on the water soon !
Out kayaking every week. Project for 2021 to cook more coffee on open fire 🔥 ☕️
What's not to like?! Wonderful, thanks
Hi from Canada ! Great video, Glad you like your Boreal Baffin. Stay safe!
Canadian Kayaker The baffin is such great value, and it serves me well for both peaceful paddles and more adrenaline stuff
What a beautiful place!
I’m envious of you.
From Japan
不死身の くまむし It is an amazing place for outdoor adventure - and literally right where I live. Feeling privileged 😀
I absolutely love my Hennessy hammock! I have the expedition model, a bit heavier, but I figured more durable.
What a wonderful spot ...... and an even better restaurant. May in the north when warm & sunny is just heaven. Even in a tent you wouldn't get much sleep with these early sunrises.........& why sleep anyway with such magnificence all around. Thanks for a great video .... in fact one of your best.
Duncan Ritchie Now that the boat is sold we’re learning to enjoy the coastline in new ways. I have to say this was a real treat, even if the sleep was short. I definitely came back home with a rested mind. And thankfully I got to do this last weekend as we’re now back to 8 degrees and 🌧
Ocean4Life Ah, I wondered if you'd sold it. It's said that the 2 best days in a sailors life is the day he buys a boat & the day he sells it. Even so, you'll always miss it but not the expense. Twelve years on my head says "Don't" but my heart say "Buy a bigger one" You're proving that there are good alternatives. Enjoy.
Duncan Ritchie I really miss it! But with both my daughters being teenagers there are so many other areas needing my time. At least the kayaking let us still have a taste of the ocean. And my bank account is a lot happier now.
Ocean4Life Ha ha ....... I sold mine for the same reason. My daughters are now late 20's & think I should buy a boat 😂
Duncan Ritchie If you have the time for it then follow the dream and just do it!!
Very nice! I had a Hennessy but my daughter took it over and I purchased a Warbonnet Blackbird. Both are great. My daughter and I kayak as well but only in lakes and occasionally in the Red River here in North Texas, USA. Not the views that you have but still alot of fun. Stay safe and happy trails.
Brilliant 5 star views and acommodation...sorry but instant coffee???? But thanks for letting us enjoy your adventure..it does not get better😀
Steve Caslick I know I should be ashamed of myself for the instant coffee 🙈 it is just so easy and I’ve come to enjoy it (gosh) 😀
When I camp i always take along my stove top espresso males, plus a gas canister and burner. My mates give me a hard time. But they always say yes when I offer them a brewed coffee 😀
Australians are known for being coffee snobs....i can live with that. Cheers
Steve Caslick would really like to go kayaking and motorcycling down under one time. I lived in Parramatta for 1,5 yrs ... way back in 2000. Still miss Australia 🇦🇺!!
Good onya. It takes a few days for the body to adapt to a hammock. No mat needed unless its quite cold... cld use zrest ( store on top.of rear hatch). Ive done quite a few trips in the whitsundays, and other tropical areas. Open sea can be a challenge... but i can always do a wet entry roll using the paddle float . And i have a plb...
Definitely need a mat in cold Norway... just got back from a paddle, both me and the kayak covered in snow ❄️
I really enjoyed your video my friend, I think I’m ready for my first camping trip. Thanks
Colm hanrahan go for it! You don’t even have to go far, just get out there and enjoy. Yesterday afternoon I went kayaking with my daughter. Made our dinner on a fire and paddled home in the darkness. Sure as heck beats watching tv at home 😃
Your so right. I paddle at every opportunity but haven’t camped yet. This is the year. Thanks again ⛺️⛺️🚣🏿♀️🚣🏿♀️
Looked like a great trip. For some reason I really like the footage @6:05
KayakTim I was lucky enough to do a similar trip a few days ago. The yak is a freedom machine 😀
@@Ocean4Life Absolutely! 🙌 I can't wait to get back on the water.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along! Love your no trace philosophy. Ive been hammock camping for over a decade. I love it. I just purchased my first Kayak so im looking forward to learning and getting out on trips. New subscriber here. 😊👍
Fantastic place by the look of it.
cool, best trip ever
Well done!
What is your biggest challenge with solo kayaking? Solo is pretty much my kayaking style simply because I don't know anyone else who wants to do things like this. I haven't done any major trips yet but it's time
Not having a buddy means that safety net of another person is gone. You have to rescue yourself and you have to carry everything in your own kayak. But sometimes I just prefer solo. Life is so busy that once in a while it’s good to just enjoy your own company 😀
@@Ocean4Life Safety net. That's a great answer. It's concern of mine absolutely. I make sure to carry a bit more fist aid gear than most would think of- right down to a tourniquet and Aspirin in case the ticker has a problem. And of course my dog is always going to be with me. She's been doing great on the boat
@@DustinRea can’t wait to load up the kayak again 😀
Nice video, I really enjoyed to see another sea kayaker camping! Without doubt we have discovered one of the best ways to travel and enjoy nature, would you say so? All the best from Spain.
Kayasper couldn’t agree more!! One of the things that surprised me with kayak camping is how much luggage you can fit ... it’s a comfortable way to have an adventure
Nice place, Best of luck
Your video 5 reasons for not buying a boat brought me here...😪
Rena Syed honestly, I’m really enjoying the freedom of kayaking compared to boating- no costs no worries no maintenance 😀
What kind of kayak is that? All I could make out was P2.
Flick Bug its a Boreal Design Baffin, size P2. Heavy to lift but good fun on the water
@@Ocean4Life Thanks!
Great video! Nice editing, love the drone footage. So did you stick to the hammock or go back to a tent?
PADDLE CAMP FISH I’m completely hooked on the hammock. Right now we’re doing a motorcycle adventure ride in Norway and I’ve brought with me a new Hennessy Safari Asym Zip. My buddy has never hammocked before and he is borrowing my Hennessy explorer. He says he’ll never tent again 😀
@@Ocean4Life Awesome! I feel the same way, once I figured it out it was so comfortable and haven't tent camped since.
Absolutely loved this, just getting into it myself! What kayak do you have?
I've got a boreal baffin P1 and a P2, as well as a feelfree fishing yak. For me the baffin seems like an ok compromise between fun and practicality. Camping by kayak is great, you don't need to carry a heavy backback :-)
Ocean4Life thanks for this! Looking to buy my first touring kayak so appreciate the info
Outside Ambition just watch out for how much stuff you need to bring. The rear storage room is fairly low and has a bit reduced volume (to give the kayak better handling for rolling re-entering, less push in wind etc). It’s a compromise
That's living mate, good on you. I'm in Australia down the South West Victoria area, some nice kayaking but where you are looks fantastic. What Country are you in?
Jason Roberts I’m in Norway, the west coast. Nature is INSANE but we have too much cold wet dark weather ... I lived in Parramatta 2000-2001. Travelled in a swag from Adelaide to Darwin. Too many venomous snakes for my liking though 🐍
@@Ocean4Life haha yeah, I grew up in Alice Springs so know that road to Darwin. Parramatta sounds like you are well travelled 😁. Snakes don't worry me too much, potential shark encounters make me a bit nervous for ocean kayaking.
Jason Roberts Killer whales here, they frequent my waters this time of the year. Would love to kayak close to them. We don’t really have anything dangerous where I live.
Have a dream to spend several months traveling Australia by motorcycle - had a bike when living there but never went exploring on 2 wheels. One day ...
I always wanted to travel to the Scandinavian lands and my god this is pure natural beauty. I need to lose some weight to effectively fit my fat ass in a Kayak first.
Loose that weight and treat yourself to a Scandinavian adventure 😀
Only thing missing is female companionship. Need a she yaker ! I’m having the same problem !
Sorry, the video is good but the music totaly destroy it for me.
