Autumn is with us and mushrooms are out in abundance so I thought I would go on a foraging trip with my hammock in the woods and see what fungi I could find to cook and eat.

This is where I keep my ruck when it is wet. I used to tie it to a tree but sometimes they are wet and dirty and get the waistband and back wet. So check out my RuckHanger. ...
Thx for the compliments guys. Some people serve it with red cabbage too. Appreciate the praise for the harmonica guys I am only learning and have missed a few notes I think.
As someone once said...
Cooking up a Northern Dish that was popular during WW2 due to meat rationing. Filmed while Hammocking in Cornwall just before a storm came in.

Thanks to all for their tips and advice.
I decided to have a go and ordered a full length underquilt.
Arrived in good time for my overnighter yesterday.
Tried it without the CCF mat and...
Thanks Fish will take a look.

I was wondering if anyone has manufactured an Insulated or Winter Hammock.
Eg. no need for an Underquilt or mat.
Perhaps someone has a homemade an all in one winter hammock.
Thanks
TC
This is very helpful stuff for me guys. I will probably take a chance get an UQ and have an overnighter with just that. I can see the point of the mat helping to keep a bit of width in the Hammock. I...
Thanks for the comments and the firesteel tip. First time I had used one. I now have a proper sized one to practice with.

Thanks for the info
When temps are very low and you switch to pads only. I assume you use one that covers your shoulder and butt area.
When I use a pad only this is where it gets cold and that...
I am planning for some cooler weather hammocking and wondered if I buy an underquilt. Can I do away with the CCF mat?
I am not talking about freezing temps. Around 8 oC or 46 oF.
Its not so...
Finally after struggling with my folding buckknife I received my first proper custom bushcraft knife.
It was kindly crafted to my specifications for me by Adam Savage. ...
Nothing wrong with beans mate. Beans and Bacon gotta love that when you are camping. :)
I usually tie to a tree on arrival at a hammocking site then put on a small offcut piece of tarp under the hammock. I also have a bergen cover should it be necessary.
Vid of my camp set up here

Thanks Mate
I have been struggling with my old Folding Buck Knife it has made a few people cringe watching me batoning with it. Its all I had at the time. Thanks for thinking of my safety and my...

Trying to cook something a little bit different.
Another overnight stealthy hang with my Tenth Wonder Green Hornet Hammock and 3 x 4 DPM Tarp. It has started to get a bit nippy now so I put a car picnic blanket underneath my sleeping bag and slept...

I must make a note! not to cook anything that smells too good:laugh:
LOL the sawing was the funny bit. I had to keep an eye open on the footpath below me for walkers. A quick saw then stop then saw again. Lucky the wind was blowing uphill or they may have smelled my...
A great little overnight hang in stealth mode near a public footpath.
I had to be quiet and not make too much smoke.
