 midges are out and oh welcome to another video it is late can you see the light is I'm losing this light big time mate it's cracking on a little bit it was an impromptu one I'd had a bit of a tough day working and stuff and then I just thought it got to about seven and I thought you know what sack it chuck a bag together I fancy a dangling amok so that's what I'm doing because of the nature of it and I cuz I was rushing I can guarantee you it's just a matter of what I forgot not if I forgot something it's just what I've forgotten there's quite a lot of bugs and keeping it relatively stealth I don't want a big fire I've brought the bushbox so ideally I'll keep it that's what I forgot pan and a grill to cook my burgers in we'll figure some out I'm gonna quickly I've seen these two trees there's nothing there's no sort of widowmaker's kicking about so we'll string the hammock up here a little bit smidge smidge smidge Buchanan just a little bit goes along with it's not like it's not like it's them military grade Scottish midges it's just your bog standard middle at road Yorkshire Midge and hopefully that'll just keep them at bay until until it gets dark it's too late on to be faffing look it's getting dark mate right I'm gonna go to a different spot one that I've been to before because I know that the trees work there so let's go right it looks looks similar this is a lot easier for me a real basic hat one that was a trauma mate getting absolutely traumatized by midges losing light as well sorry for being erratic but my god this is as bad as I've ever had them they're absolutely everywhere and they're crawling in my loggals they've got no respect for smidge so layer up princess later up just like a really shit game show where you've got to set up a hammock whilst getting peppered by midges didn't even have time to put me synergy blouse on it you know it's serious when you can't when you're done you don't put the synergy blouse on you're choking on them man I might have to get inside hammock and hide there's me hammock I've got me over like air bed in there with me neutrino 600 sleeping bag Rob same pillow Trekology Milan and in there it's the DD super light 3x3 tarp and the DD frontline hammock and I've got I've swapped out the suspension system and I've got whoopie slings and carabiners yeah come here carabiner these am steel whoopie slings that's it I think I've done I put a ridgeline in there which is a different which is a mod but who doesn't do that I don't normally put me quickly these toggles in everything but I was losing it because it midges losing my mind this one I've just put into this stake which goes into ground and then there's this log here that stops it from going back that's it the dangler Bonnie Bonnie or lass and for it look I won't stand for it right I have to get fire going because these midges are un I can't get over it man they're absolutely savage let's do this quick okay look just listen I need to level with you I'm gonna cheat and it isn't even cheating it's just one of these from home it's just wood twisted shavings of wood in wax it's what I use for me fire at home good quality real quick look at that you know normally I would be a bit more bushcrafted about it but these midges need to be taught a lesson and that lesson is smoke hopefully there you go look the duck like it opened are there shitting it out of here man let's be having you let's be having you dealier because I can't dealier with this torturous mate you imagine if you couldn't imagine just if you couldn't deal with it like if you couldn't like a fire or you know because I'm sure a little that smidge is doing a little something well it wouldn't seem like it but if you just outright I reckon it could drive you to his like hysteria like madness imagine being out in Scottish Highlands right it's in peak midge season with nothing to protect you oh my god it don't bear thinking about does it it don't bear thinking about I mean I've been caught in a like caught by him like this but although it is infuriating it's not you know I can imagine getting caught in one of them slight so when we went to climb Ben Nevis to brew another munk beer the midges were really bad at the halfway point but we all had headnets and stuff but imagine I imagine if we didn't have headnets you'd sort of want to just top yourself because it'd be too much this is a cherry this is actually a bird cherry gonna show you but don't matter that's actually a cherry tree but this isn't this is died many moons ago deadfall some other than this pine because it just burns off a quick very labor-intensive if you just chill him get some of this clobber on it's getting on a little bit I don't really want a big fire no point no point this will sustain me I'll be buzzing buzzing when these midges do there you go keep me going for a little bit yeah that's smoke on me yeah they don't like the fire that's they've really gone the beast up massively that's a real joy you know what like in life how thorns come here like how good I feel now after because I don't have midges on me it after just having like an hour of them all in my lugs my face all up all at me all on me to then not have them is an absolute joy but I wouldn't know this joy unless I'd had the midges on me and it's difficult at times to go through your life always acting like you don't have midges on you if you know what I mean but sometimes maybe it'd be nice when things are going a little bit maybe a bit shit at work or you've had an argument with your partner or whatever kids are doing you nothing just sit there and be like at least I'm not trying to put a hammock up with a cloud of midges eating me that's my top tip for today that that's top tip for this one that's all I've got it's all I've got three styled it for you that's all I've got I'm afraid always be grateful you're not getting midged thanks for coming to my TED talk you've been wonderful I don't have any booze about again I'm been feeling it at moment it's not been just been enjoying not having any booze for all you moon fans it's a new moon today which means it's the darkest that the moon will be and usually means that the stars what it does mean that the stars are a lot more visible so I'm hoping fingers crossed it's not forecast it's forecast cloudy all night but they get these things wrong and so I'm hoping that the stars reveal themselves up in this canopy and we can get some good night shots maybe some good time lapses of them twinkly bitches and you shouldn't really call them that but I have too late but I respect all this is the life in it this is this tucked in because I know there are I've had ticks around it before quite a few times actually so I don't fancy it and looking forward to a night in dangler it's been a minute it's been a minute some happened recently where I've did me lower back in sir I think a night in dangler might be good for it be fair I could just go to sleep here mate and just let the ticks feast on my face there yeah right can you see me chew on in it at night it's a chew at night to be fair rocking the McCallum blades I've got a bit of common common hazel that I'm gonna fashion into a skewer for my burger some it like something like that oh bark off that's where it that's what cackle be just leave there you go it's that

remember Amazon shop check them out a trio of tomatoes look at them look at that they look bonny look you know she's got some show-off tomatoes there's not much point in you just blinding me is there for a sake of just watching it watching a burger cook hey guys put in the comments below what you call this what would you call that would you call it Tony or right said bread now because for me it's always been a bread bun can you even see me what I'm really all this going on for me it's a bread bun some people call them bread cakes cobs if you're calling it a cob get out if you're calling it a cake if you call it a bread cake as well I'm afraid get out because it's a bun bread bun burger bun it's not a burger cake is it hey guys put down below in the comments what you call it let's get a little dialogue going on let's argue about whether it's called a bread bun or not it's a bit flat like a bit of a witch's teat but that's that's life that's bag life fire I tossed it a little bit I put it down here next to what I know on top of all this ash and bits of hiring so it can get a little bit of nature's seasoning out burger looking what is that she's looking good ish cheese yeah proper dad barbecue in that in it get on that's about that's about that to keep it warm can't be too pretty when you're out in woods can you bit of fancy tomato some green stuff and picked up some wild garlic I'm away in sprigs of that around there just for seasoning pretty as a picture the cheese look absolutely why not just soften that cheese up a little bit wild venison burger wild venison cheese burger with wild garlic tomatoes onions cheese and all that gear mouth leaking absent friends can't see really good but from my word that's good that's a good burger and little flowers of wild garlic a pungent welcome little flavor bombs certainly beats a freeze-dried meal you haven't it actually got under the bread buns so I might reload have another one as you should do it any good but this is my barbecue anyway and any good barbecue you need to be reloading at least once welcome to reload once but that's what I'm gonna do and I'm just gonna be repeating repeat a dockety what I've just done so you don't need to see that it's this time of year the stars don't come out till quite late on so I'll chill around bushbox it's quite labor-intensive the old bushbox so I'll chill for a little bit around it and then I'm gonna get in dangler totally clouded over so there it is I suspect it is much but you have to you have to try it out yeah just in case you only get so many new moons in your life anyway that's fine what I can do if you don't mind I shall interject with some previous night time shots that I've taken we'll roll them and see you on the morrow good morning slept well nice and warm the uber light isn't as warm as the X-therm which is to be expected it wasn't super cold but I had to pull my sleep bag underneath myself just to take the edge off I could happily just dangling here in fact you know I'm gonna not go back to sleep but it's just nice mate and I have just been lying here for a while there was a cuckoo of a yonder doing it's doing what cuckoos do at midges are out again yeah I'm gonna find some water to dunk dunk it oh man they're getting me get out of here hide I'll tell you what I've said it before I've said it before and I'll say it again the best thing about sleeping in the woods is waking up in the woods waking up in a hammock especially is delightful and it rained last night I had to put a part of rain on the tarp nothing too heavy just the perfect amount wonderful what do midges actually bring to the table really though are they good for the ecosystem what eats them because all I can see is like it's like they're broken it's like they're like there's something wrong with them they should just be like living on dead fruit or whatever but they've just lost it and they're like all right we just live off blood now like you're zombies out there get zombies right let's get this put away let's give them a little bit more flesh to feast on before I go because you know midges apart they're part of it out there as well look at them all come on fill your boots have a nice snack because how I'm gonna get going it's just like going to like a petting zoo where you feed that sheep and that look at them get tucked in get tucked in good gear as well that'd be good gear because I've been looking after me so recently maybe that's why they're getting me so much I've got decent blood it's not just full of Northern Monk and bad decisions and stuff like that that's what I that's what I had my fire on so done absolutely zero pretty we're getting there look still got it still got it mate still got it fest it's in ears as well in it they're relentless they're just animals doing their thing a midge will midge I'm just gonna go find somewhere to have a swim just to go wet me set up a little bit yeah go check out the dorset meat company below that's where I've been getting all my gear from my grass-fed gear so yeah go check them out I think there's a code put a little bit of a discount from your first order that's it man

I get up there thanks as always for watching if you still are I've enjoyed this one it's been there just a simple easy lovely little hammock cam destroyed by the midges but for every second of today that I'm not getting eaten by midges I'll be grateful that's the lesson just be grateful because it could always be a lot worse mate it always be a lot worse I've got some landscaping work coming up so I don't know when I'm next gonna see you I might be having a little break for a bit but you lot play safe look after you you lot play safe look after yourselves and each other and I shall see you
