Got out for two nights (too short!!) and went to Northern Minnesota to some favorite spots in Crosby Manitou State Park (terrific trails there) and then on to Horseshoe Ridge on the Superior Hiking Trail. Then looped back to the trailhead and home. Slept wonderfully in my hammock and had some good woods walking.

  • @mp4542 My first video!

  • Learning plenty about hammock camping and ultralight kit thanks to you, and the entertainment is priceless, whoooo buddy ;) We have serious bear issues up here in Manitoba and I would think that you have a good number in MN as well. How do you store your food? Never thought about it like this before but watching your video with Wandering Fool a little while, realized what a sausage like presentation you must make to the coyotes and bears as they come sniffin' 'round ya in yer hammock!

  • @canesser1 ahhhh...my first vid gets a look!

    I store mine in an Ursack well away from my camp.

    Then I just forget about it. Rabbits scare me!

  • Another ultralight solution, that's awesome (did I just say awesome?) ;) Looks like the aluminum fortified model will prevent mashed potatoes of your entire food supply. Thanks for that Shug!

  • @Videos1970 It is actually made of rip-stop. Cuts the wind and adds some warmth. Never got any condensation in it....

  • You always give me something to think about! Your silnylon weathershield - that would be a vapor barrier, yes? If you've ever gotten condensation - is it on the shield or on the UQ? And would regular ripstop, while breathable, provide enough water protection from the outside? So many things to consider....

  • Looks as if you've refined your kit quite a bit since this video was shot. All good stuff, though. Thanks for sharing.
