Video Transcription

alright so here's how I slept last night instead of sleeping in a hammock I slept in a my swinging hammock chair here I just put my foot feet up on the stool draft my blanket here around my legs everything I got a liner inside of here so i turn my poncho into kind of a lazy boy type deal you know you can sleep in a lazy boy you can sleep in this right here a nice thing is if you're somewhere that you need to get in and out frequently or something like that you know you just claim in you just get in and out of here really quick a lot easier than getting in and out of a hammock so you know it's kind of a different way to do things but it's it's pretty nice and cozy actually i really i really enjoy sleeping like this in the in a hammock chair here and I just wrapped my survival blanket around me I'm cozy good to go man then I just had this tarp tight out to a stakeout here and it's done did it from the stakes I could just show you how uh how it looked and I just flip it back so you can see this this fabric here is all the use of the 8x the the punch I'm using for my chair and my tarp here is the a tax FG camel of course this is multicam but anyways very nice it was pretty cozy this helped keep some of the breeze off of me that flows down the canyon a little bit kind of made it some of it most of it kind of went over me so they had a great great night's sleep looking forward to having a little bit of breakfast now getting onto my day here what thing is kind of fun to do with these fleeces unsnap like and snap one side then you get just a little bit on the downwind side of the fire it fills up the whole inside like a balloon with hot air then you go like that it's like you just got your clothes out of the dryer anyway I'm just getting things warmed up kind of getting things set going to cook me some breakfast as you can swell it or nothing sitting really good or not it snowed last week up here so there's still some patches of snow here and there in the grass so getting off to a nice start today campground up here is practically empty most the thing was all reserved but nobody showed up because it's snow during the week and everybody was thinking uh not good enough whether to go camping but hey to me any day is a good camping day well I got everything under way here got some grits cooking over there got some eggs done and pull those off some more water cooking I got a brought roasting on the fire right there I have me some mocha cooking the heat night there so I'm looking good here this morning it's going to be a good breakfast good start to my day here and I love being up here I can't I can't get enough of being outside think I'm addicted to it or something I'm going to show you how something fun for my dessert with my breakfast I'll show you some of that too when i get done here well the temperature just hit 32 degrees just got up to the freezing point here well my water containers got slushy last night frozen on top slushy so my Grinch is close to done got my mocha here Freddie get my some more hot water here I got a brought that i'm using like a sausage and a couple eggs here so I'm about I'm about ready to eat and hey can you see me I took off from the shop yesterday afternoon after getting our shipments out for the day and I forgot my tripod so my bite in my backpack I have this little tripod it and the legs extend out it's like this tall so today I'm going to have to do some rigging around to get that thing to get some pictures so you got a bird's-eye view of the fire and breakfast okay so I know you can't see this very good due to my no tripod but so I got my eggs my brought that I cooked my grits so I got all that into this it's loaded it all in this cast iron fry pan that way is I'm eating it the temperatures go ahead and got about thirty two yet been still having it in this nice hot it's not really hot but it's fairly warm frypan in this cool air that'll help keep on my breakfast nice and toasty warm while I'm eating it this really tastes good with the eggs in this johnsonville brought here it's like some of the climbers are starting to roll in here to start claiming on these mountains here today after this place is famous for but all those flavors mixed together the saltiness the different spices and all that combined together really makes for a nice tasty meal you know I mixed together so I'm going to finish this up and then get on to some other exciting stuff today it's going to be a nice day I don't see a I don't see a cloud in the sky anywhere it's going to be beautiful I'm going to make him a now do you some scones here so I'm gonna do you some scones I'm the one eating my brought some honey with me some Dakota honey from North Dakota and during the night it got a little too cold and it hard as a brick so I put it in some water here and I'm just warming it up so it will actually come out so my kids got me one of these collapsible hot dog Roasters for Christmas or birthday or something one year so works really nice we cook some scones at the house the other night there's a few left over for him so I brought him up here and i had to last night and then saved a couple for breakfast so just kind of roast these like I open this up a little whoops not that much some hot coals here so I just put them up here and you just just kind of cook them like a hot dog or whatever and I just I want to keep it away enough that I get it warmed all the way through then get it just slightly slightly toasted on the outside and i'll split it open and pour some honey down inside of there these things are good add two of them last night around the campfire about eleven-thirty last night darn good stuff

whoo looks like we're getting there I don't want to burn it well it's nice nice and hot and then the outsides a little so that's nicer than when you have leftover scones you put them in the microwave they get their kind of soft so I'm gonna see what I can do here but eating this little bugger it's likely to be pretty messy try to dive into here just open me up a little slot little slot for the honey to go in that's what we're looking for I think I got a plenty melted it that's gonna be runny as water now but it'll be good it will be very good I don't dare hold this cone right over me cuz ur got honey just gonna ooze out everywhere mmm yeah sure I mean yes it's so good oh man cinnamon chip scones roasted over the campfire with honey we're living I'm telling you what we're living here roasted over the fire well honey inside dessert for breakfast that's what I call living man I'll tell you what I like it lift up the dripping all down my fingers in my hands I'm gonna be a mess alright let me show you my little setup here I call this a lounger it's a lounger bivvy setups kind of what i call it i'm using my poncho inside of there as a has a lounge chair and i'm using my my a tax FG tarp over the top as a canopy and that can either be wind shade snow or whatever you need has a canopy and sometimes you don't even need one so let me just show you how I set this one up and then I might show you a couple other setups so this canopy I put on here I only used I only use one chord to hold it up and that's this that's this parachute cord right here that's at the center point of the tarp I just use that to lift up a little bit on it on the on the foot in here I just use one of the shot chords that come with it to tie it around a tree and then on this other end these trees are only about 10 feet apart and so my tarp on the diagonal is Tim so I just folded it over down to the first tab here just kind of tucked that in and then I secured to this tab here and see back over here to that one it's secured both of those around secure both those around with another one of the shot cords that comes in the kit and down here on the on this diagonal right here I changed I just steady using the shot cord that came to come with the tent stake I just hooked the third you get three of these shock cords with each tarp so I just took the third one in here just to kind of pull down on this corner

and on this side right here I used the shot cord that's actually in the tent stake to hold this one so now I've got I've got good movement of my tarp so I'm really I'm really nicely secured there alright so let me show you a little about this on a lounger lounger bivvy set up I can give it my own name since I came up with an idea so that's more that's more blanket than I really need now I I pitch this chord up here kind of high on the tree a little bit i can let it down a little more like that and it makes it easier in and out but that's just how I want it last night I wanted up a little bit higher so why don't you see how easy it is how he see this to adjust it then see now it was a nice it was a hot day or something he could position this tarp one side or the other side or however in order to get yourself some shade you know but if it were rainy then how I had it pitched earlier would work really nice too and I just have my my survival blanket in here and a liner and I just I put the liner in first it and I wrapped the survival black around me and got inside of here and that's how he slept tonight this is it's just as comfortable as being in a lounge chair you know in your living room playback tickets dude I slept so good last night is really nice basically the head end up here just hooked up the same way like you hook up a hammock but I usually hook it up about nose high or something like that to me and however you do it you can give yourself a more horizontal or more vertical however you want to do it but normally about five feet high or so is about right where to tie it off up here then on this end down here you know it will bring it up or bring it down so you can adjust your incline that way too as well as how high you hook it on the tree over there though there's a ton of different ways you can do it and let me just show you some close-ups here so so whenever you tie off the head end up here I just got my nut right here after I go out of my my tree I go around at least once and then double back now they just tied off two half hitches here and then that leaves me since my cords doubled over you know how you hook how we do our hammocks I've got a piece of cord right here and a piece of cord over there on the other side I just bring that cord right down here and this is the bottom tab you see this is where your you're making a hammock you drop a cord right through that sleeve right here so all I've done is tied off a half hitch here a couple half hitch is there and the same thing on the other side then I put a stick through here and i usually like him to be four or five feet long some somewhere in there you just make sure on the stick you take your knife or hatchet or clean off any burrs whatever so it's nice and smooth this is a birch so there wasn't much to clean up on there and what you got that I just put a bowline here a bowline loop here went around that tree over here those the Hammet there's the carabiner that I put in there this tree doesn't matters much because a small diameter but if you get a pretty good size diameter tree it's hard to swing in it because these cords are so far apart so I just you know how to ever do this but I just put it in there cuz it makes it swing back and forth lot easier down on the other side over here I just put I just actually tied off went around and double back and then put a couple half inches and I just wrap the extra cord around the end of the end over there just so it's out of the way that's really it so anyway this is perry peacock wilderness innovation just showing you some other fun stuff you can do with our gear hope you have a great day outdoors like I always do take care we'll see on the next video you
