Bushcraft: Bach or Bon Jovi?

[rmbriar]

Anybody have a camping playlist? If so, what artists feature?

Odd question I know, but I'm curious

I'm gonna bet mine are the exact same as yours

Well when we camp we do listen to the same speaker..

 

[outdoorpaddy]

perhaps...

 

[outdoorpaddy]

some pennywhistle or woodwind instruments sound quite natural, maybe thats just me

Birdsong. Foxes. Insects. Let's say the calls of nature.

Seriously, I wouldn't dream of taking something to play music, not even a harmonica.

 

[John Fenna]

Hmmm - playlist...
Birdsong
Wind in the trees
Crackle of fire
Drumming of rain on tarp (bit of a favourite that one - I listen to it a lot!)
Hissing of bacon grill frying
Waves on the shore



You get the idea.....

I tend to listen to a story or podcasts rather than music, I like to have a listen for half an hour when I retire to the hammock

 

[rmbriar]

My favorite selection would include the aptly named "Songs from the Wood" album from Jethro Tull, either that or a harmonica

 

[outdoorpaddy]

I would say that while bushcrafting or wild camping there is no music like the sounds that nature gives us, but for camping as it is know to rmbriar and I, means fine tobaccos and alcohol whilst being outside.

i have to agree with ged and john, music when camping, especially recorded music, would drive me mad. the only time i ever listen to music when camping is at festivals, and that ends to annoy me no end.

As long as its not anything heavy I'm alright, and not for the whole duration, theres something therapeutic about the hissing of burning pine, but a bit of folky acousticky business whilst enjoying a pipe is quite nice

 

[jackcbr]

don't listen too much to music whilst "out", but on the way there a bit of Love, Stop, Repeat fits the mood quite nicely. Really chills me out.

 

[dave53]

well if we are talking about music apart from the sound of nature coldplay,roger whittiker,billy jo spears,carpenters,phil collins and so on just to get the thread back on track lol regards dave

 

[JonathanD]

I'm with the rest, I never put my earphones in when out and about. That would make me miss all of the good stuff and go into myself. I want to be outside myself rather than in when out. Get your head around that sentence.

 

[resnikov]

The wood I use is with in spitting distance of a major motorway so while the sounds of nature would be lovely I do listen to a bit of music to drown out the noise of the trucks, so its what ever is on my phone at the moment. Normally a mix of punk, pop dance and rock.

+1 for rain on the trap, I do like that sound.

 

[SimonD]

i listen to music when i do pretty much everything in life, EXCEPT when i go to the woods. it has never occured to me to take my ipod. i go to hear whatever nature wants to provide

Same here. That's all my Ipod is loaded with.

 

[T1Viper]

I love music for most occasions, from fishing to walks in the woods, i don't always listen to it, but it does get taken out with me most times.

There's everything on there from The Who and Pink Floyd through to more modern stuff like Coldplay.

 

[crowded-solitude]

Im not too keen on listening to music when out but my friend that i go out with insists every time i go out with him.so if it was anything i would have to go with enigma, the most mellow natural band i can think of!
