Video Transcription

hey how you guys doing this William Myers mess outdoors I'm gonna be bringing you guys a hammock video today from tribe provisions and this is one of the easiest most versatile panics to setup one of the reasons why I really like this hammock from try provisions is that it doesn't have any kind of limited suspension system its suspension system is ropes you know and that way I'm not limited to the trees that I used you know some suspension systems if I have too big of a tree the tree hugger sometimes what they're called won't exactly go around it too small and I have to wrap the the tree hugger many times you know but this just it relies on nothing but rope so as far as your not as long as you're not in California with big huge like redwoods you're gonna be absolutely fine to set up a lot different areas than what you would if you had like I said unlimited suspension systems so let's go ahead and show you guys how to set this one up all right so here's the ropes that come in it and this is what comes in the package itself and what all I do is just roll it up by having it until it's the dimension that I want and then it's just got a standard loop in it and you know like I said this would be about the perfect size for like say my Hennessey it comes with tree huggers which is like just webbing seatbelt material whatever you want to call it this will be okay but if the camera pans over here to the tree that I'm going to set up next that would be entirely way too big so if I'm packing that hammock I am kind of limited to what I can just set up that I can use but I love that hammock so you take what you get

take the good with the bad right but all I'm gonna do with this is I'm gonna come around the tree and I'm gonna insert the tag in into that loop and I like to hang my hands a little bit higher than most people you usually go about eye level when I'm sitting up and that's all we have to do for that part let's go to the other tree again this wouldn't be something that would be possible with my Hennessey again we're about ilvl there we go now we just go to the hammock itself and the hammock itself has carabiners on each end so what I do to start it out with I do something that is very adjustable because I'm not sure what my hang length is gonna be between these two trees yet so I just put it through the carabiner just like that and then I'll use another loop that's up here that's already tied and just put a trucker's hitch in it and then I do something that's called when I'm actually ready to I'm not ready to make this permanent right now but when I'm ready to make this permanent I do something that's called a slippery eight which if the camera is gonna kind of get in behind me and pan this way so I do something that's called a slippery eight which right now this is slippery but it's not permanent it's not something that locks you know if I pull on this it's going to slip so what I'll do is I'll put a loop in just like this and then I'll pull on the backside and that is a slippery eight and that's something that's not going to go anywhere the the loop itself is forced not to slip by the loop that I put in it but all I have to do is pull on the back side and both loops come out so let's do that again loop right there and a loop right there and that's not gonna go anywhere all right so now I can see exactly how much material I have left over we're in really good shape here you know I'd like to hang in hammocks I start out with them absolutely just tight you know some people sag them and things like that I like to sleep on my side a little when I'm when I'm hammock camping stuff like that I'll switch between my back and my side things like that so I start out with them absolutely tight as I can and I say for this setup first run was pretty good usually you know I might have to adjust a little bit or something like this but this one came out pretty good just on the first one you are getting began there you go there you go that easy no this is me explaining the knots explaining the knots and actually showing you how to set it up took twice as long as actually just me coming out here and saying that takes but one of the really cool things about this hammock is that it also comes with what does it come with it has a bug net accessory that you can put on as well for spring and summertime camping all right so try provisions also makes a bug net just for this hammock right here and you know I've seen a lot of bug nets that are really complicated and really just got to finagle the heck out of them and all this stuff this goes up really quickly and I'll show you that right now all right so all we have to do is we have to find the top of it very easy to do because the top has clips on it and those clips go on our ridge line right here just like that okay so very easily just to clip all the clips on like this okay now the hammock is not actually in the bug net yet you throw it on the back side just like this and the way that I have this hammock set up is for easy adjustment so all I have to do is I have to take my carabiner pull it out turn it inside the bug net I clip them off comes out the other side and then

attach it back to my loop now the bug net itself if the camera can kind of pull in here has a pull string just like that hang on everyone do the same thing with the other side take it off my loop put it inside the bug net and pull it all the way to the other side

hang on Evelyn back on my clip a drawstring down and there we go so the reason why you don't want your bug net to come directly underneath the hammock when there's nobody in it is because when you actually do sit in it you can either one pull this ridge line down snap it or whatever snap anything or even bust out the bottom of the net so it's very easy to get in these conner you want to get in so it has one zipper compartment right now it has one zipper compartment these are really good hammocks for kids to go ahead and get into lay down see what he's so used to being in hammocks they just automatically does it when you get into a hammock and have your socks on you just kind of wipe your feet off but anyway so then all you have to do from here

zip it up and now you have a very nice bug net you're not gonna be blocked by again the mosquitoes and things like that as far as you know this isn't a complete package because obviously we don't have a tarp over it but you know aqua quest things like that in a and purple tarps we'll be doing reviews about those very soon but I just wanted to show you guys this because they are not expensive at all as far as I'm concerned they're very on the budget-friendly side and they are extremely nice hammocks and extremely nice bug net so another nice thing about tribe provisions is that everything that they make so far as I know right now the bags that they come in are integrated into you know the hammock - bug net things like that and that's just storage compartment one you're not gonna lose the bag by accident or something like that

misplace it and - you know you can just throw little things like your knife or whatever you're getting ready to get a bad external battery phone what have you into these little compartments that's just like an extra storage compartment for you for when you're laying and there's two there is yeah because you know this is the hammock and then the bug net yeah so this you know we've been using this hammock Ferb I've had used the hammock for over a year and the bug net for probably a good three or four months now you know me and the kids use it I've used it a lot on my own I've even had my son Connor in the hammock with me when it got kind of down into the chillier nights and he wanted to sleep with me and it held us just fine and it's extremely comfortable hammock the bug net isn't something that gets in your face all the time or anything like that

and you know when day breaks all you have to do is take that bug net out of the hammock slide it to the side and now you have your camp chair and things like that so that's really nice as well all right guys whistles William R Smith outdoors hope you enjoyed the video on the tribe visions hammock and bug that really great hammock that me and my family have enjoyed for quite a while now you can find this hammock in my amazon store by visiting manis outdoors llc.com /op and visiting there that helps out the channel and we appreciate that a lot and hopefully we'll see you guys out in the woods
