As I had a little time off over xmas I took the opportunity to combine a days beating with an overnighter at what I'm hoping will be my semi permenant camp. The night I chose was really stormy and helped me test my kit. I brought a few new toys with me to test such as a packable saw, IR camera and a DIY field oven.
The night wasn't the smoothest of trips I had with a load of local youths having a party in the woods about 200yds from my camp, I remained undetected by them which is a plus side for my site choice, I did go over and offer them a pheasant and subsiquently scared the bejesus out of them. Who would of thought a fat bearded bloke emerging out the woods with a dead animal would provoke such a reaction, I also wanted to make sure I wasnt getting stabbed in my sleep.
The field oven was working well till I knocked my roasties into the heat source and ended up with a small chip pan like fire (which I used to start my campfire).
I have put a ridgeline on to my hammock which has made a big difference in the lay, am going to bite the bullet soon and get a longer one. Eyeing up the WBBB but cant really justify the cost.
I have attached the vid which does have footage of my dogs working, game preperation but no animals are dispatched on film. The dog bit is the first 5 mins
