I just got back from a one nighter with the dog, cooked a chicken on the same setup you did there minus the hanger obvs. Once again, it was you who inspired me 3 years ago to get off my arse and get a bag together. When I needed advice, I dropped you a message and you replied, helping me no end. So thanks again Craig, you sir are a legend! 🙏🤙🤟👍

Keep up your passion for photography and camping. I share it but live it vicariously through you and others for the time being.

Love a good hammock camp. Here in the Pacific NW we've got huge trees, so you end up packing more weight in hammock strap than you do in the rest of your sleep setup Hammock camping is always the most comfortable camp for me. But, I've noticed I've gotta get up and water the dry trees more in a hammock than in any other sleeping setup. 😅 Looks like a great day in the woods, decompressing from the madness. I'm doing well, and I hope you've been finding a good balance in things yourself. Regarding a seperate channel; From what I've seen, that never works the way folks expect. The second channel never does as well and always needs a lot of work. But, worth keeping in mind, a lot of us (myself included), watch these as a parasocial relationship, IE folks watch these cause they enjoy the personality you present on here, enjoy the hang out, the conversation. The topics are ones that got us here, but its the quality of the vids and the entertainment and experience you provide that keeps us. Just like how we all enjoy hanging out with our friends even when they're just doing boring stuff, it ain't so much about what you're doing its that you're willing to include us with the experience. Just my thoughts.

I go out as often as I can to some spots, have one for fishing one for a woodland built up camp etc. Always mindful of my fire's footprint and what may be in the soil under the fire. Biggest fear by a long shot is a root fire, so if I'm unsure of a fire in a spot, its bush buddy, folding firepit or no fire at all.

Mosquito nets are essential. I also prefer a tarp over the top closeish if it;s going to rain or a bit higher up if it's hot. I prefer to use one of the big wool blankets rather than a foam pad in a hammock. I tend to use a lighter sleeping bag and if it gets cold those are perfect.
