Day trip in Rude-forrest

Hi guys

After seeing some of the day trip reports i just wanted to show you my "hood";)
I jumped on my bike and headed out..... I'm very lucky - i live near a lot of very nice and accessible nature, and this time it was in Rude-forest.
It was one of my first trips into the woods on bike again, have had a close to 5 years break from biking because of health issues. And it was a chance to mess a round and play movie director:rolleyes::D

Anyway it was a really nice trip - nearly ran over a deer, drank a nice cup of tea, had a little snooze and logged around 17 miles. All in all a nice afternoon.

And forgive me for the rather lousy video quality(it's my boy's camera) and all the rambling(well that's just me:D) But this is my first try at video production.

So here it is.... Bomber's first youtube video:shades:

To the mods: if this is to much of a gear ramble, feel free to move it.

Hi Bomber, Excellent trip report.
I think your English is perfect. Really like your DIY TQ idea. You've put together a really nice hammock kit.
I didn't get a good look at the pack you used. I'm trying to decide if I want everything on my back or maybe some panniers and a small pack.

Wow, 17 miles and you haven't been riding in 5 years. You are in better shape than me.
I just took the winter off and did 10 miles of single track today mostly rolling hills no climbs and my legs are killing me. I did have an nice
streamside hot lunch and 30 minute nap in the hammock. Didn't feel the pain until I got home.

I can't believe there aren't more posts here! This was a great video. I'm using a very similar setup, except for the UQ (I use a pad). Not sure what tarp you were using, but I use a MacCat Deluxe, in Spinn UL. I'm also using the MSR Titan Teakettle, Kiwi Stove (though mine is made from a Tobassco Chocolate tin), and was that your HF Buff sneaking up from under your collar? That's where I have mine as well - when I'm not using it. Sorry you can't get farther into the woods, but at least you managed to get outside, and that's all that counts, right! Great video, and I also look forward to #2, as well, and, no, you don't ramble at all.

Hope to see more videos from you. I enjoyed it. It's always fun to hammocking in different parts of the world. Great thoughts on the wide sleeping bag providing additional insulation due to overlapping...I might have to play with that idea a bit!

Hi OaB, i'll try and make a video feature on my pack(it's actually a OMM running pack, but lends it self really well to UL camping and bike tours)
I dont like the way panniers affect the handling of my bike, so thats a no go for me.

Regarding distance - i used to bike A LOT(i raced mtb) so i'm just slowly trying to get back, my stamina is good but my oxygen uptake is close to non existent.... Well more room for improvement:lol:

Hi G

My tarp is an el cheapo PU coated tarp, that with 4 stakes weighs close to 30oz(!). Still trying to find fundings for a MLD or a ZPack(in a worst case scenario i would save around 22oz!?! - quite significant). And yes that was my much beloved HF buff - a sharp opservation;)

I'm kind of impressed over how good this works out, guess its because it doesn't "fall off me" like it would in a ground set up(uhhh... shrugs my shoulders)

Nice Vid

Bomber,

Think you did a great job on your video. Would never guess it was your first video production. Glad you were able to get back on the saddle of your bike again. Must of felt great.

I always enjoy my self stealing away to the woods. Hiking, Biking, hanging out cooking, gear testing. I'm sure you know the feeling too.

Again great job on your video post and thanks for sharing.

P.S. Your lucky to have a little patch of piney woods that you can enjoy!

I know the exact feeling HWS;) going out is my little sanctuary in a messed up everyday life with trouble, kids and wife.....

The woods; This is my church - this is where i heal my hurts......

Thanks Shug that means a lot coming from a performer, too bad i'm kind of horrible IRL:rolleyes::lol::lol:

I'm not used to stand in front of a camera(but give me a crowd, two turntables and a mixer - then let the party begin!:cool:)

Nice video, there, Bomber! GREAT first-timer! Loved your set-up, and addiction to tea! :D It seemed like it was far enough away from civilization to at least sense the woods. If you ever get across the pond, there are many here that would love to show you some of our wooded forests!

Thanks for the nice break from work this afternoon! :D

@Skypainter
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it:) - i truly hope that i'm able to some day visit some of the amazing places many of you guy's live and frequent.

@Whayneneal
Your welcome;) we actually have a lot of small forests, but since i live only about 15 miles from the center of our capitol, there is always something going on:(
And Denmark truly is a small place, if you drive from the most northern part to the southern border, you will only have traveled around 375miles!?! Small country i tell you;)
