Hey guys, as a new summer camping season is
almost here again, I thought it
it´s a good time to discuss hammock camping
Hammock camping is big part of my outdoor life and
it certainly plays a role in my videos
In many of my camping videos
I´ve mentioned something
about gear or about hanging the hammock
as a whole hammock camping is too much
to go through in a camping video
I wanted to a spesific make a video for it
Let me tell you about my experiences with a hammock
we´ll also take a look at setting up a hammock camp
Theres a couple of reasons why I like hammock camping so much
The main reason is the openness
I can see around very well
It´s roomy under the tarp, and I feel closer to nature with an open shelter
When I hang my hammock at a lakeside
or other cool natural place
so that I have a good view
it´s great to hang out and especially mornings are great
Secondly, I can always find a place for a hammock
there´s a lot of forests and lakes in Finland
great places to hang a hammock
even if it´s not a spesific camping ground
Northernmost areas in Finland are above the treeline, but
apart from that, it´s easy to find a spot to hang
it could be even on a wet spot
or on a rocky terrain or slope
none of that basically matters as long as there´s two trees
Third on my list is comfort
a hammock is just so comfy, like floating in the air
the experience is always the same, no rocks or pine cones under your back
the ground can be uneven and it doesnt matter
Sleeping on your side is good too
you can hear that asked often
I sleep on my side always, without problems
A hammock is good for sitting too,
you can sit and rest that way too
A hammock camp can look like
a mess of lines at first
I´ll admit it takes some getting used to
using the long lines
without making a mess
But it´s not rocket science by any means
when you know the lines´ purpose
they start to seem more intelligible
First step is to choose a spot for the hammock
we´ll need two healthy trees
and avoid dead or half-dead trees
I look for good, sturdy trees
a diameter of 20cm or so is good
a thinner tree will do also, but
it will bend with the weight
Always when possible,
I pick good sturdy trees
For my gear, a good distance between trees is 8 steps
and even though a trained eye can find good spots
and trees that have the right distance
I have a habit of measuring distance with steps
That way I can be 100% confident
that it´s easy to set up with no surprises
If you´re new to hammock camping, you might want to practice your setup
at a nearby forest or park
when you get it right, measure the tree distance with steps
then it´s easy to check when looking for hammock spots
First we´ll set up the treehuggers
a wider strap to protect the tree
a narrow line would
tear the tree bark
a wider strap doesn´t do that
It´s best if the strap goes a full circle
and both ends unite
the hammock will hang on both strap loops
a tough carabiner is the simplest solution here
After setting up the straps,
we get to hang the hammock itself
the suspension has a lenght adjustment
there are different kind of systems
the purpose is the same anyway
they adjust the height and tightness of the hammock
Height is important for sitting mostly
it´s better if your feet reach the ground
For sleeping, tightness is more important
So you want to get it right
Right tension is easy to get with some experiments
There´s also a rule
The suspension should be at around 30 degrees in angle
Then you know you´re on the right track
Another thing about setting up is that
the foot end should be around 20-30cm higher
roughly 20-30cm that is
Decide which way you´re going to lay and
lift the foot end treehugger higher
This is because the lay is better
your back will be more leveled
higher foot end will also
prevent you from sliding towards the middle in the hammock
Some hammocks, like my Amazonas
have a separate cord to lift the bugnet
I like to use shock cord for that
We need an insulation layer under the hammock
it could simply be a camping pad
put inside the hammock, or
if the hammock has a double layer
you can put the camping pad between the layers
A hammock underquilt is best though,
it´s rigged under the hammock
unto the suspension lines
the main thing here is to
rig it tightly enough
If it hangs too low,
it won´t hold warmth well
We need protection from rain and wind too,
we´ll use a light cover, a tarp
I always have my tarp in ´diamond´ setup
Good rain protection, yet good visibility
it won´t block the view too much
I can still see around very well
There´s so many different tarp setups
by trying them out, you´ll know what you like best
The tarp hangs on the same trees as the hammock
the sides can be tied unto nearby trees
or with stakes to the ground
I usually have the back side
with a stake unto the ground
and the front side high up, tied to a tree
in this rocky spot I have both tarp sides tied unto trees
So, this was a small intro to hammock camping
Don´t worry, you´ll learn the setup easily
if you want to use a hammock
I´ll only suggest not to go out without some practice
a nearby forest or park is good for practice
that way you´ll know our stuff when you go out on real hiking trips
I´ll make a list of this gear into the description
for a basic hammock my suggestion is this Amazonas
with DDHammocks´ suspension
they´ll make a great pair
There are very many good tarps available
My underquilt is with down filling,
I wouldn´t recommend such pricey gear for your first one
DDHammocks has an affordable synthetic underquilt
I´ll put it in the description as a suggestion
There´s so much stuff and different brands out there
I don´t think that brands really matter
it´s easy to get confused with all the gear madness
The Amazonas Moskito Traveller has one of the best value for the money
that´s why I´m recommending it
Thanks for your interest, we´ll see in the next one
Goodbye!

Hayk Hakobyan: It is a growing experience to be here - Duration: 7:23.
I'm Hayk, I'm from Shurnukh village and I've been working in Armenia with non-profit organization...
...and teaching yoga, fundraising, and trying to get myself involved in different kinds of activities.
When I came here, I mostly concentrated on fundraising, writing projects with other stuff of the organization.
But I also get involved in the football activities we have, I was attending them every week...
...you know monitoring them, also playing ball with everyone, which was important for me.
BOMOVU is the network of sports and body movement for vulnerable groups.
Actually we had this association after I came back from Armenia, when I was a fellow there in Women Resource Center in Yerevan...
...and after I spent some time there working with women doing a sports called Kapuera...
...for the social empowerment of these women, I decided to come here and continue this work on a broader way.
I think, I was, I felt very welcomed, and super involved...
...and one of the things this organization has, the most I don't know like,
that really one of the valuable thing I appreciate, that the quality between all of the workers and...
...I don't know like, you never feel like in a lower position or anything like that.
It's always supportive, and there's always place for development and place for needs I think.
So when Hayk came here, we were already working in a refugee programme and he...
...he was really fastly included in this programme.
He went to different community centers and started to work with the refugees that we were working over there, and little by little, he...
...We actually do 13 different activities, in different centers, weekly...
...and one of them is the football activity and Hayk started to be responsbile for this activity himself.
My organization provides physical activities and movements for vulnerable groups...
...and this football activity is for refugees specifically for beneficiaries of Addar
...youth and community center and so we get together every week, play together,
...and try to address different issues such as I don't know, like racism or you know, sexist vocabulary in football...
...or could be homophobia and I don't know we talk about these kind of things.
...and I did a little thing when I brought the rainbow laces handed out to the kids and talked about what it was etc.
It was good to be working with Hayk because we had the opportunity to, I guess, queer our perspective,
...and to have a more accurate sensitivity on issues about homophobia transphobia.
But also in the broader way what discrimination means, I think this was extremely valuable.
Besides this, in our little life in the office, Hayk participated a lot in organizaing us as a team,
...on how to recycle more, how to produce less waste and be more enviroment friendly,
...and this was fantastic.
I think it's good that we have somebody in this context, also because we are sharing the office with other NGOs...
...and because we go to meetings together with Hayk that is somebody is from Armenia...
...is almost a concept that doesn't exist in this country.
It's invisible, I mean we know that there are Armenians but they speak Turkish,
...or they are not visible, they are not this foreign.
...and having someone who is from Armenia is I guess in the perception of everyone at least a first step to
acknowledging that there's a place called Armenia before everything
I would like to work with the Turkish-Armenian relations.
Because first of all I mean personally like here and I'd love to have some sort of attachment on any level,
...and I think its very like, informing, like a growing experience for people to be here...
...and in terms of being in a Turkish city and experiencing different kind of things that you wouldn't expect.
But also being in a bigger city which gives you a lot more experience and you...
I don't think it would happen anywhere in Armenia to be honest.
So I believe that if anyone is willing to put themselves into a challenging position,
...and really have development or something this is a good chance they can use.
I personally like to further cooperate with BOMOVU or any other organization that is willing to.
