Spur of the moment hammock camp

[Tyla]

I've not spent a night out alone in a while, married, new house, other things going on etc but after haunting this forum over the last week I was inspired! Even bought a new tarp!

I dragged all the gear out and popped out for the night last night. I didnt get there til dusk, in fact i only decided to do it at about half six, so a not too perfect set up and a bit of a rush to gather wood ensued. Once it was done i settled down next to the woodstove with coffee in hand and watched the river. The wind was strong and i made the wrong choice of sleeping bag but overall had a good time.

I must make the effort to get out more often.

I've got a few pictures but dont have photobucket or whatever so you'll just have to use your imaginations!

Like your set-up...not so sure I'd have gone for tartan tarp, but it kind of compliments your tweed plus-fours...eclectic I guess you'd call it.... Nice woodburner BTW...

I particularly like how you discretely choppered it in, under slung from a Chinook. very cool.

You do realise that we can see it's just your backgarden you've pitched up in. I can see your irate neighbour and the stump of his tree.
