this is very important finding a spot you're happy with see how the wind is ripping through that spot right there something branches knock it down I'll be cold can't it's no wind in here so check this out my secret she goes down just like so [Applause]

trying to imagine my lava we're here checking for roots and stuff yeah I think this is it a place to hang stuff up like my rock jackets and stuff hang my ridgeline yep this is home no I wasn't filming before but I left the camera on like it is it's filming now [Applause]

yeah what's been it's been raining heavy recently like yesterday yesterday like was like hurricane weather down and Southern when I when I live did I saw somebody's doormat

like they're like outside their house 35 miles an hour take off across the yard like exactly though the weather's been insane last couple days Wow 2 to 3 feet of water in the street is crazy

[Applause]

dude my wife sent me a picture next to Boston of a bunch of power lines that went down all like into each other across the street like you could even drive a car down the street because it was just like six seven of them just laying we look at the whole like a like a what tornado went through I don't remember the name of the town but it's pretty intense [Applause]

oh no what happened he fell he fell are you hitting Jesus boy God dude all right you're done he's done the comments see the world wants you to sleep on the ground with us Malcolm was that was that Shane cutting the strap but he said he's gonna do

Shane changes cut the strap on you didn't he he weakened it yeah it's facing this way actually I don't want to get video Malcolm laying on the ground that would have been nice but dude that's like oh you took off flying tent

yeah even closes up let me see that it's crazy it's like a fly there's like a flying tent over here that's awesome who makes that war bonnet Hey yeah yeah I have to ultralight - is it I have to I have to drop them align see it see if they have any extra Lane around the factory you know I'm saying talk to Mike about he's an ambassador for him oh yeah I have to now I got to Mike oh yeah I was like interesting so I contacted him I said hey I wouldn't even looking for anything for free I just was like hey I love you going what you guys doing right on right on flying low very cool all righty

yeah wins a killer man we will suck the heat right out of you there's the high point on this side so I'm probably gonna have the door over there put my head over here head on the high side

so foggy my door right there right on [Applause]

this thing we blow to the ground it could be a yeah yeah do if you if you hung that hammock up like three inches off the ground like I do when I'm laying next to a fire is that Gary Gary is dropping some timber over there yeah I did if you had to like three chews off the ground that that would absolutely reach the ground you'd have like a tent but you'd be in hanok brilliant man brilliant love it I'm gonna do that I'm gonna contact those guys and see if they have any laying around the 10 by 11 okay [Music]

can you guys see me all right I'm not sure if you can maybe yeah I guess you can huh on a different angle I'll give you a different angle is that that better that cool all you guys what I saw Malcolm fell if I had you over here before

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

so I'm gonna put up a Ridgeline I'm gonna hang my level from that so I don't have a center Pole so I can sleep in the middle

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

guys wants just not I'm doing and Malcolm used to be pro Russell as a port of the day alright I'll show you this is not I'm doing probably you know that was actually my biggest video a long time ago there's a not video I did the bank's slippery hitch things like that he's like hammock hammock knots and things up a little bit just cool you guys like the stuff alright [Applause]

oh yeah yeah there oh okay so I'm gonna go around I'm gonna put a loop in right here by the way I do that just make a loop I'm gonna twist see that twist

twist a loop I'm gonna then put a bite through that a loop through that loop I created so it looks like see that it's like an overhand around one side of the loop now it's a quick release if it gets pulled but it's gonna be pulled the other way

okay so if I pull this too hard it's gonna be undone so now I'm going to make sure you guys are up there huh oh yeah this isn't my first time filming okay I'm gonna just go through here go through the loop see so now I went through the loop and I could pull this really tight on the tree

this has to be tight because it's gonna hold the weight of the canvas live it's a six pound tent by the way all right this is pretty tight I'm gonna just same thing as my hammock tying knots I'm gonna just pinch it and put two quick releases all temp to get this on film for you guys right there you can kind of see it not really

watch my oval video school as I should do it right huh all right mr. V can get a good angle for you guys to see this okay you see it there's the loop super high tension I'm gonna pinch put my thumb over hold me bring the loop the rope over I'm gonna pull a bike through it that's a quick release I'm going to make this smaller I'm gonna go through it again another loop another bite take me down so this is a quick release when it's time to go pull this my Ridge is gone my whole Ridge just comes down done nice and tight

five to go tighter I can just undo it I will show you undo it I'm done go even tight it it's a real tight knot pinch it make a quick release make it smaller go through my quick-release done very fast most importantly very effective okay thanks watch game is sure they have glad to be here so making our a would button so I'm just put a stop cut right there [Applause]

all right

ganache I bet it's brutal in the summer man yeah it's like musky [Applause]

so the whole in my my canvas Jinja Brandi really kicked your ass [Music]

[Music]

I want to give a shout out to my good friend sandy jack in the UK he gave me a jackal or knife years ago incredible knife that I used to film alone for History Channel he said Vancouver Island I staked my life on that knife incredible gift he's a gentleman for sure he did a video years ago of using did a video of using a Polish la boo I think and he set it up really fast things like that did like an overnight with it I'm pretty sure with Sandy and that's when I decided that I needed one years and years and years ago so thank you for that my friend actually a viewer found out and sent it to me as a gift she knows who she is so thank you for that I always wipe my blade especially when I'm doing a pine [Applause]

[Applause]

like to use pine for which stakes so I can knock off the nodes used to no it's like a like a handle so I just carved right here you just think like it's single cut it to push her into the ground

[Applause]

right quick steak nice come along great let them know what's up

well that color this is nice program so want to share this with you guys it's really important not just have a good kit but being able to service your kit so like right here I'm about to pull this out stake it over here I'll put my way back to do that but I noticed that this particular grommet I don't know what happened to it but the little loop that I use of rope tie out for stake to go through is gone now I could take some rope from my ridgeline obviously you might have saw that I keep kind of a bundle of rat's nest as it were of random cordage in one of my pockets I should keep two like fifty foot packs and just random random stuff you know foot two feet at a time kind of thing it's perfect for this so I can take something small like that and service that because it's not there so I'll probably just use this this isn't even paracord this is just I don't even know what this is most of it is power cord all of it is except for this actually left I just use an over hand off to the right right over left something like that so so it's affordability low stuff on the fly and again I could take you know a foot a cord off my bridge if I had to or whatever

[Applause]

okay

so right here yeah and on about squat right you have to guide it off I never used this little chunk any at all it's like you got such a good view yep good view though shelter nice is my lab ooh I have the top way out myself more Headroom and then it's tight tied up with a wood button okay

I have taught line hitches tied up on the sides

that goes to yeah

with two branches a crotch and on the other side just have that tight off as well

taut line hitch clip branch on the tree shows my front door just can't

I haven't

put my sleeping bag inside and I will blanket and all that stuff I'm up in the tree right now I'm ETSU stuff to undo that later and just throw it in my backpack for now keep it protected so there it is it's my camp ya got the fire going a little bit ago so my head down over there [Music]
