Stealth Camping in Toronto

[99bugout]

Check out the 4 season - Jungle Hammock dot com. Even better than Hennessy and lighter.. more storage and heavy duty... Camo options, read the specs.

I wonder if you could use a series of slacklines to act as a tree ladder and have a Hennesey hammock way on top. If you're nimble you could sleep up higher. surely a bear can't climb like that

[allanstokell]

This is a Hennessy hammock. They do have a winter cover, but in Zone 6 a Thermorest will keep you warm 3 seasons providing you have a good 3 season down sleeping bag. I don't camp much after October.

[WatchRyder]

What's this like in winter conditions?

A buddy of mine used a hammock, not this one, in late autumn and he nearly caught hypothermia!

where in toronto

Try setting you hammock so that your only 6 inches off the ground when your in it. It will give you a lower profile, it's warmer, the rain fly will almost reach the floor and that will cut out any lights you use at night (and the wind) When I get my vid cam back I will show you my setup. It's spot on for stelth camping.

[skecanj]

Then it would be "leave no trace" camping. The term "stealth camping" is different, although leaving no trace is definitely a part of it, for sure.

When I "stealth camp", you can't even see where I sleep.

I have done stealth camping for survival,I had bills to pay in MS there was work in GA so I took tent and went to locate employ. Had a Mbike rode it on the gutter on the side the Istate parked then checked the site sought solid ground to drive the bike and a place to park the bike all out of site slept there then located job found some folks that allowed me to pitch on their land and paid my bills. If you have a MB health and some camp gear no reason you can't relocate if you want or need.

[coremanjim]

@skecanj From what I understand (which may be wrong), it's called "stealth camping" because you are indeed "leaving no trace" that you were there. Hence the stealth aspect. The meaning doesn't have to be so narrow as to say it only means your being hidden at the time of camping.

I love my Hennessy Hammock. Yes, you get into your sleeping bag, then fall back into the hammock. Though I prefer to use an open sleeping bag or quilt. Yes, you can use a pad in the hammock. You don't have to. On a warm night I climb into my hammock with nothing at all, and without the rain fly. Then for a brief moment before nodding off I picture myself as a "bear taco". Wink

[tushtushtushtush]

lol

[disgruntldtoad]

Haha, your "bear taco" comment made me laugh. On the way back across the country from Washington to Ohio, I spent 2 nights in Yellowstone Nat. Park. First night a bear strolled thru the site, stank horribly. Next night one snuffled my head at about 2am. I was friggin terriffied! But, didnt move, for an hour i didnt move... My hammock is a Skeeter Beater Pro, looks a lot like yours. Cheers!

[toounfazed]

One night on a week long backpacking trip through World's End State Park, Pennsylvania, I heard the crunch of dry twigs in the dark outside my hammock. I was scared out of my wits at the thought of a roaming bear. I whispered "who's out there?" several times before laying perfectly still for several more terrified hours. Now I keep a huge can of Bear Mace and a night-vision monocular with me in the taco shell. All I've been able to spot are deer cracking those twigs, so far....LOL

[darkwolf919]

In the Smoky Mountains they gave hikers bells and bear mace to ward off bears. Well it made the bear scat a lot easier to identify. All of it smelled like pepper and had little bells in it.

Screw bear mace. Buy a .38.

[woohog1]

@darkwolf919 yea, thats a great idea, use the .38 to piss the bear off, and then save the last round for yourself. Seriously, you would be better off taking a small frame .44 mag. that would actually be a better round for bear defense.

Im guessing the only camping you have probably ever done is in your back yard, while your mom made smores in the kitchen.

Do some research before you make an assanine comment.

[plutoplatters]

@woohog1 everyone's an expert today. got to love it.

[woohog1]

@plutoplatters So are you saying that the .38 is actually a viable option? No way I would want to go camping with you then. I keep my kimber custom 1911 in 10 mm for just such an occasion.

[plutoplatters]

@woohog1 not at all.... that would be a good choice,i agree. just a random comment on all the tubeperts  of today.

[PHARRAOH]

@darkwolf919 better hit it in both eyes, then blow off its nose! or his next scat will have your balls in it!

[Dot2TheLock]

u know u can put it up higher, thats the best thing about hammocks

[MajesticChicken]

@toounfazed Bear Taco takes the cake, you just made my day.

[animaltendencies]

@toounfazed In England the worst you have to worry about when you're hammocking is a Badger biting your arse! Know what a Taco is though... Hahahahahahahahaha!

[toounfazed]

@animaltendencies It's all those years of camping on the Appalachian Trail that have my "bear radar" on high alert. We sleep many, many yards away from where we cook, eat and store food, and we don't wear the clothes we cook and eat in within tents or hammocks. No consumables or smellables go into the tents or hammocks, like chapstick, deodorant, toothpaste, water, sticky drinks, contact lens solutions. Yes, we Yanks jest love to "rough it" outdoors with the wildlife. LOL

[pyronaft]

Cool and in the winter just make a fire under it to keep you warm.

[dunedigger]

Bad, bad idea xD Unless you like being caught on fire xD

[huskodotnet]

lmao it's in his own back yard. nothing stealth about it. That or it's someplace he spotted as beign a good place to set up, and did so.

[leerwesen]

where do you live? backyards aren't like that around here...

[cJw314]

"Stealth" camping isn't about being stealthy, per se; it's about leaving no trace.

[steigan43]

Yeps. Shows the real values of Hammock Camping.

[cdltpx]

Ouuuu nice and dark sleep all day have the solar panels recharging the lap top batteries and the led lights so you can paddle the Bayou at night and run your trout lines in the dark when it is cool. Go to the market in the morning with your catch take a warm shower with the warmed solar water about 11 am and sleep all day to go do it all again about 10pm. Really nice. I could live that way naaaaa. Maybe when I retire I met a man in Oregon that was retired and lived in the woods he hikes daily.

[anarky4321]

was that just a stock HH? what model?

[TTSinPA]

And the point of this video was...?

[anarky4321]

the point was to show how effortlessly the Hennessy blends into the environment

its a stealth camper's best friend (especially in a really warm climate)

[wheat1100]

this has to be the most inspiring videos ive ever seen
