- Join me for a solo early spring hammock camp in the forest. On this camp i hangout by the campfire and do some Billy Pot baking with the firebox nano and the trangia. Such a simple way to bake in the bush! Thanks for watching and if you have any questions or just want to say hi feel free to comment below.

Even though you really enjoy reaching great mountain heights, the simple but amazing beauty of woodlands seems to be calling you. This is typical of your caring and kind demeanor. I love the way you only use natural lighting at night so as not to disturb the creatures. Very thoughtful and commendable !!
As a kid the woods were my playground. It’s a true happy place for me. At night, I definitely prefer just candlelight or the light from a campfire when outside. Even at home I prefer a candle to light a room in the evenings … it’s just so cozy 😀. Luckily the camera can capture things well enough so I can share the experience in the video. I do try to blend in as much as I can when outside. It was actually one of the reasons why I didn’t talk in my earlier videos. You definitely get to see more, like animals coming closer to camp. I really appreciate the thoughtful comment. Hope you have a great weekend! ATB
Nice trip. It warmed my heart to see you make the meal of my people. 😊 Were those Roe deer I heard in the background. I bought one of those bush belly pots. Haven't used it yet. Happy Memorial Day. Thinking of my dad today who passed in 1999. WWII Navy vet who served in the Atlantic and Paxific. He was a gunner on aircraft carrier. He survived on 13 ships which were torpedoed. Enjoyed this tranquil trip.
Glad you enjoyed watching this camp. I always enjoy getting out for a hammock camp. Such a great way to get a good nights sleep in the woods. The deer that often bark in these woods are muntjac. They are tiny dog sized deer. Your father sounds like an incredible man. The things he must have seen. Hope you have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Appreciate you watching another video.
This man is making content that I’m sure a lot of us (myself included) absolutely love. Great channel☮❤
Too kind man 🙏! Really glad you are liking the videos!
Yes! Definitely!
Your leave no trace ethos is always inspiring to watch. Thanks for sharing another fun adventure.
Thanks for watching Lynette. I stumble across too many remnants of fires in the woods. I really wish everyone would leave a place better than they found it so that all can enjoy the beauty of a place! ATB
Ay up.
Nice camp buddy 👍🤜🤛
👍Thanks man. Appreciate you watching!
Nuthin’ like a wild caught baguette!
They are rare elusive creatures 😄👍
Got you there bud a prep most meals before a go camping sometimes just got to relax
👍👍 I usually really enjoy cooking but the easy route is definitely nice sometimes!
The previous comment was quite unusual, your reply spot on. That was such a chilled camp, was impressed with the fire pit, not cheap but worth it. Look forward to your next mountain camp. Thanks for sharing. ATB Serk
😀 Thanks for watching! I was quite impressed with the fire pit as well! I have used it for grilling mostly but never just as a fire pit. You can build a pretty decent sized fire in it for something that folds down into a nice neat package. I still think the small vertical box style stoves produce a bit less smoke but this gives you that real open campfire experience 🔥😀. Very excited to get back into the mountains 👍 ATB
That portable fire pit is the shit! Thinking I gotta have one now.
It’s definitely nice if you want to have a large campfire but keep it off the ground! Makes ash cleanup very easy as well 👍. Appreciate the comment!
Great video and enjoyed your conversation! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks Jake! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It makes me feel like I’m not just talking to myself in the camera!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors your welcome! Lol, I understand!
Great video - that crunchy sound as you bit into the bread made me want some!
Thanks! 😀👍 the bread did toast nicely next to the fire. Appreciate the comment!
Excellent 👍 So relaxing to watch. Thanks 🙏
Thanks that’s great to hear. I appreciate you watching!
Great camp! This knife has become one of my favorites!
Thanks! It’s become one of my favorites as well. Such fantastic ergonomics and it’s just a great looking knife! ATB
Hi, a very quiet and relaxing overnighter.
Great equipment you have.
I had a lot of fun watching you.
Thanks for the video and have a great holiday!
Best regards Stefan🙋🏼♂️
Thanks Stefan, really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
loved watching the oven meal 🙂
The Billy pot oven is a neat little method to cook 👍
Absolutely genius!!!! What a great video. Have a good one 👍
Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍
Brilliant! I’ve never seen convenience look so challenging yet, so enjoyable 🤩
Great fire pit too! Might have to add one of those to my collection 👌🏼
It was definitely nice having the extra time relaxing by the fire pit. 👍 it’s nice and compact and a decent size! ATB
Chilly bum aside, that looked spot on. Trangia oven ready baked Lasagne is nothing short of genius. And just when I think I've got my kit dialled in, you go and show me that fire pit... grrr. Wishing you and the fam a Happy Easter and a great holiday. Look forward to the Insta pics!
The oven worked really well. I was pretty excited about it! It was nice to have a meal that was tasty but easy also. I definitely enjoyed the extra time by the fire pit. Haha speaking of … yeah it’s nice. I know you have the Bushbox which I think has always been fantastic as a mini campfire but this thing was like having a proper open bonfire which was a nice change of pace. Definitely don’t need a fire that big all the time though, but on a chilly night it was nice to have! Hope you have a great Easter as well Rich. ATB
Bahoz got it right! great content, love it thanks.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Maaannn I was so glad to see you have a prepared meal because your cooking skills were putting me to shame😂😂.
😆👍. It was kind of nice just relaxing by the fire while my lasagna cooked in the little bush oven.
You should bring your wife along with your kid's too.... they'd Love it!!!
My wife’s not much of a camper but my kids love camping with me 👍
Wow, there are Muntjacs in your forests! Not only in Asia...
I believe they were introduced into the UK in the 1800s and now there are a lot of them around. Thanks for watching!
Great trip .new here I subbed
Thanks Tom! Welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support!
Easy when you have the tools! Hammocks scare me. I always worry about rolling over and falling out!
True you definitely need the tools. I’m definitely not an avid hammock camper but I find these flat lay hammocks incredibly comfortable and pretty stable once you get used to them. I’m still a ground dweller at heart, but can’t deny their comfort. Thanks for watching Tom!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thank you for making it! I was extremely impressed with that oven. :)
You kind of also resemble Anthony Perkins....the actor, remember, Bates motel.....? LoL....seriously, you do also..... Rock on 😎....
Haven’t heard that one before. Appreciate all the comments 😀👍
💚💚
👍🌳😀
Luar biasa sekali beraktivitas camping sendiri di hutan
Ini pengalaman yang luar biasa. Terima kasih telah menonton!
First time watching your channel. Really liked your cooking ideas and ideology. Did you have to refill the Trangia at all while cooking the lasagna? I’m wanting to purchase a billy pot. Do you find the 14 cm one sufficient or would the 16 cm size be a better all around pot? Will be watching more of you!
Welcome to the channel! Yes I did have to refill it once. A full trangia normally lasts around 30-35 min or longer with the summer ring. A breeze can shorten that time. I prefer the 14cm because I’m normally just making food for myself. And it’s a good sized pot. If you want to bake larger items or cook for multiple people I’d recommend the 16. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate the support! ATB
Awesome video. Definitely trying lasagna next time out. What fire starter, permanent match do you use? Thank you
It was definitely a nice and easy but tasty meal. On this camp I used the tinder wick by überleben to get the fire started👍. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great video! Loved the are you were in and the camp! Any advice for a small outdoor channel just starting?
Thanks! Just make the videos that you would want to watch and have fun doing it 👍. ATB
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!
When I first heard you speak I thought you were Canadian, not American! Great videos and you speak in a really calm, relaxing way. Love your vids, thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback 😀👍.
Nice video…. How about that hammock? I have the Amock Hammock but I am afraid it is too warm for the tropical weather in which I live down in South America… Is that a Warbonnet? Great video…
Thanks! Yes, this is the Warbonnet Ridgerunner. I really enjoy it because it can be used with or without a pad. Appreciate you watching!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks for your prompt response
Great videos mate,
I have come across your videos a couple of times so decided to sub this time.
Great content, great locations.
How heavy is your pack in a summer video like this one?
Not sure about the pack weight. It feels pretty comfortable and is only a 38L pack so it’s pretty hard to pack too much weight in it 👍. Really appreciate you watching and deciding to sub to the channel! All the best
Hey just discovered your channel and loving the content - I'm from the UK myself and really curious on the perspective of an American who has moved to the UK. Lots of American backpackers use single wall shelters, frameless packs and more lightweight setups generally it seems than what the average UK backpacker uses. Do you find that with the UK climate being quite humid and cold these kind of items are less appropriate over here? Interested to hear if you have thoughts as I've constantly been tempted by the ultralight setups American hikers use but get put off going ultralight when I see people hiking in the UK with more traditional setups.
Welcome to the channel! Sorry for the late response. The short answer to your question is yes, I do think those items are less appropriate here IMO. I got sucked into the ultralight craze many years back but then I realized I was still healthy and youngish and I could easily carry slightly heavier gear that was more durable and in many instance just better. Don't get me wrong, there is a ton of ultralight stuff that is absolutely incredible, but I wouldn't take a Zacks duplex out in the conditions I often find myself in here in the UK. It may work just fine but it wouldn’t be nearly as comfortable as one of my Scandinavian tents. Same thing with tents where the inner and outer tents are not connected. Those were the kinds of tents I grew up with in the states. They work well but using dual pitch tents where the ground sheet, inner and outer fly all pitch at the same time I have found extremely desirable here in the UK where the conditions can be a bit more unpredictable. I definitely think single wall shelters and ultralight gear have their place if you are finding your pack too heavy or if you are going on longer distance hikes but as someone who is only going out for a night or two I’d rather take gear that is a bit more durable, comfortable and sometimes safer. To give one example, I’ve had a Big Agnes tent pole break in the kinds of winds that we regularly experience here. My advice is to just be weight conscious with your gear and use a mix of ultralight and durable items. In my experience, your body definitely tells you when you need to lighten the load. Sorry for the ramble … I just love talking outdoor gear 🤣. Thanks again for watching some of my video!!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors yeah I’ve been binging some of your Hilleberg videos, they seem extremely well suited to the conditions (except when you cliff camped in Yorkshire with your Enan!) - thanks for the detailed response, was always curious why CZcamsrs in America use different setups to CZcamsrs in the UK, wasn’t sure if it was just tradition and reputation or actually pragmatic based on conditions.
@@dundar888 haha yeah the Enan was definitely the wrong choice for that camp, although it did survive thankfully! The tents available in the states are definitely different. The cottage companies are really producing some cool stuff with durable ultralight materials but many bigger companies have been reducing weight over the years at the expensive of durability unfortunately.
Great video man! I know a lot of creators don't like to share, but any chance on saying which forest this was? Looks amazing!
Thanks man! I would normally have no issues giving out a location where I camp but It’s actually a local private unnamed woodland (or at least there are no names for it on maps I’ve seen). The gentleman that manages the area was cool with me being there but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be cool with me telling others. Hope you understand.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors No worries man, all the best!
@@josephblackhall Thanks for understanding man!
Sweet hammock, what kind is it?
Thanks! It’s the Warbonnet Ridge Runner 👍
Do you have to carry a fire permit to build small campfires in the firebox where you hike?
No generally it’s just permission from the land owner. Sometimes I go to Woodlands and they will put up signs if fires are not allowed 👍
Ha what a great idea to bake it. Are you self taught?
This is a technique I first saw by the gentleman that actually created the firebox nano. I haven’t seen anyone use the stones on the actual baking level or on top of the pot before but it works really well! Thanks for watching
Hi, what hammock were you using? I've been wanting to try a hammock camp for a while but I'd prefer this style of hammock that I can use a sleeping mat with.
I’m using the double layer Warbonnet Ridgerunner. Yeah it’s nice being able to just use a sleeping pad. Gives you a nice flat lay also!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks for the quick reply. I visited Switzerland last year, I'm sure you'll all love it there. Absolutely amazing country.
@@DaredevilGnome 👍 Great to hear. Never been there before. I’m looking forward to it!
Paul, I saw this hammock on his channel. After a quick chat I ordered it. For me it’s hands down the best sleep in the woods. Do some research there are a good bit of options with material/tarp types/hang system etc. Not to mention is you look into their custom tarp options. Buy it and thank Going Solo later once you use it. 😉
@@tywilliams6530 😀👍 they do have many options! Glad you are liking it
Have you had anything weird/creepy happen on any of your excursions? This one seemed a little creepy 😂
No nothing weird or creepy. There is always a lot of nocturnal wildlife in a woodland but I’ve never had any issues 👍
