This is me inside the police cordon on CBRN duty for Operation Glencoe (G20 summit) at Stanstead airport. was a hot and long day and I had my patrol pack in the car so I was allright jack and everyone else had to sleep on stretchers or sit in lawn chairs.

DD hammock with modded straps and rings and a 550 paracord ridge line.

Keep hanging.

PS also had my tilley hat.

lol: i'm a fireman, and just found out a lad on another watch carries his hammock all the time in his helmet bag, great idea! there's never anywhere to sit when you are hanging around.

CBRN?

Is that what us older folk call NBC?

i thought taking photos of the police was enough to get you arrested on terrorist charges.

i hereby demand you arrest yourself.

 

[ex Member swampy99]

Im ambulance service so not against the law.
Yes CBRN is the old NBC but with radiation.

Hi Swampy,

As someone who works thereabouts I'm glad you folk were there...but much relieved that your CBRN watch left you lying in your hammock.

Cheers,
Steve

reminds me of a thread years ago with photos' of hammocks in use in areas from illegal to down right dangerous areas.

examples included hammocking from motorway road signs, advertising boards, and off the side of huge bridges!

hmm and I was just wondering if there are any bye-laws which prohibit hanging a hammock between two lamp-posts!

Is that a ventile teppee I see ?

Nice coffee press aswell swampy

Ventile teppee? you mean the new NHS decon tent better than the bouncy castle we had before and the coffee press. Weble strip light fill the bottom up with water and it wobbles but will not fall down.
