Covacure Hammock First Time Use I NEARLY DIED
Vložit

- I decided to do a first time set of my new Covacure Hammock up Skinny Wood. In doing so, I nearly died.
I had watched plenty of CZcams vids of the Pro Hammock campers and I felt confident in going that route myself.
All was going really well too with this budget hammock for camping. Apart from judging the tree distances in the beginning.
A lapse in concentration and, probably not paying attention to my hammock entry, caused what could have been quite a catastrophic injury.
But call bad luck or good luck, either way, there was more good luck than I give credit for.
I was very lucky not to break my neck today (Sunday 21 March).
There is an outtake vid to follow this one. Looking back at it, I had tears of laughter. But looking back, it could easily have been tears of pain and sorrow.
Anyway, all is good this end. So sit back and watch another old crank getting out there and enjoying himself.

So funny 😄 looks great, just reminded me to order me hammock!
Haha, wait until later this evening when you see me go around the world in it 🤣
I’m still converting to hammock camping where I can now.
Thank you for watching and having a chat 👋🏼😉
Be good!
Tim
@@BourneOutside I'm intrigued.. will keep an eye out for that 😅
You make me laugh Tim mate, seems like a good hammock that, similar to my day hammock... the organ playing was genius 😂🤣😂
I am the original pub player, don’t yer know?!
Related to Bobby Crush me 😂
It’s good for the money, Lee. 👍🏼
Hoping to go out again the weekend for a few hours. See how work goes first.
Thank you for watching and chatting along with me and the others in the gang 😉👍🏼
Great way to spend the night. Ideal if the camping location is boggy or uneven. You will soon get the hang of it, you always get a bit of stretching of the straps etc the 1st few times you use it. 👍
Thanks, JB.
The creaking put me off a bit when I first sat down. Thought it was gonna go 😮😁
I need a few more goes don’t I? 😊
Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciated a lot 😉👍🏼
@@BourneOutside You will soon find what works for you personally. For me its straps on the trees at about head high and the hammock at about the height of my ribs (no weight in the hammock) It looks too high but when I get in and the straps etc stretch a bit, it sits about right (for me) If you ever need some help, dont be afraid to ask mate. 😎
@@frogmaster83 Aha, thank you for that snippet of advice there, JB. I might have had the straps higher than head height actually. Maybe not a good position.
I’ll do your spec next time and see how I fair!
Thanks for offering your ears too if I need any help. That is really kind of you 🙂👍🏼
Just ordered the same one but ordered a tarp to go with it lol I've never hammock camped before but when it arrives tomorrow I'll be using it straight away,luckily enough I live in the cotswolds so shouldn't be too hard to find a spec, happy camping bud 😊
Hello Stephen, not answered when you commented as I was on a camp. Then thought I’d give you an extra day before I answer.
How did it go?
I hope you thought it was ok. The YT’er I went out with is hanging up his hammock boots and going back ground dwelling.
I want to give hammocking a good run out.
Let me know how you got on.
Thanks a lot for watching my vid, tell me when you post your thoughts 😉👍🏼
@@BourneOutside hey man thanks for getting back to me,I just got back myself. Decided to stay an extra night lol the hammock was awesome, I used a mat and slid all over the place the first night but luckily I took a second sleeping bag and swapped it for last night, had the best sleep ever even though it rained,the tarp I got was the same price as the hammock itself however it turned out to be a shrewd buy as it was big enough to have in a porch configuration or completely shield myself from the wind , maybe I'll look at underquilts for my next adventure but for now an extra bag helps massively 😀 no faults with the hammock at all ,I set it up first time in under 5 mins but tbf id already watched your video loo
@@thenovicewildcamper9192 Well that sounds like you had a cracking two days. What a pleasure! 😉👍🏼
Glad you slept well too.
Good buy on the tarp!!!
Roll in the next one, eh 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I like the piano 😂
Thank you very much!
I did make a slight error with C sharp, but so far, nobody has mentioned it 😁👍🏼
Thanks for jumping in and chatting!
😂 well that was fun to watch... you didn’t slap the screen after all that!? 🤷🏻♂️ it’s a follow from me buddy! Have a great week!
Ps hope your necks ok 😬
Ash
Who is this? 😂
Hello Ash, I couldn’t take your screen-slapping from you 😁👍🏼
Thank you very much for the following kind sir. Greatly appreciated indeed!
Neck still a tad sore, but getting better.
Thanks for popping in and watching + subbing too.
Keep busy mate,
Tim
@@BourneOutside 😂 entertained me 😂 take care mate, stay safe
@@AshOutdoorsUK I hope so, Ash.
Any tips greatly appreciated 😉👍🏼
Lol.just seen your Video ,its true ived used this Hammock im well cured 😭👍
Told yer 😉👍🏼
@@BourneOutside All that money wasyed on PPE .....😜
Blimey, I have found a button to check unanswered replies. Yours is one of them.
Please accept my apologies for what may look like ignorance. That was not my intention 😊
A bloody hippy Tim? Maaan, is that what people think I am. I'd rather a good fleece than an afghan. Cool little hammock mate. I have a cheap one and you've inspired me to get out in it. I'll happily thank you for that. Well, take care dude. Mark
Not at all, Mark.
She was a really nice lady who you’d have enjoyed her company. I was chatting to her for about 20 minutes. Better company than your average person off the street, I can tell you. And I’m one of the average ones 🤣
Fleece all day long for me too 😉👍🏼
Yeah, get in the hammock you have, Mark. Just don’t do what I did 😁
Have a good one and look after yourself!
Tim 👋🏼😉👍🏼
p.s. thanks for watching and chatting too pal. I appreciate your kind words.
@@BourneOutside Hey, I know plenty of alternative people as they're known. Good friends Tim! I imagine she was kind and that's all we need. I'll get the hammock out. We'll chat from there.
@@WyeExplorer Same as you, Mark.
Friends in my circle are from all walks of life.
As long as they are kind and respectful, that is truly all that matters!
Oh, and they must like a giggle too 😉👍🏼
You just made my day 😂😂😂 this is frigging hilarious
The hippy you described sounded like me, tattoo on her pinal gland but I don't own dogs 😂.
This was me yesterday trying to set it up , I fell straight out of it and 😂😂
Hahaha, brilliant. I couldn’t believe it. I was upright one minute and doing a 360 the next 😂
That lady was lovely. We had a good chat.
I hope your balancing improves in your hammock. Mine has improved 😁
Look after yourself and thanks a lot for watching and chatting 👋🏼😉
I'd love to come on a camp with you mate,any time you are near Cheltenham just hit me up 😀
Thank you kind sir!
I shall remember that and get in touch 😉👍🏼
That hammock is way too small for you, you should get a longer hammock
Do you think so?
@@BourneOutside If your height is 175cm down you need 300cm long hammock, 175-180cm tall you need 320cm long hammock to be comfortable:)
@@develentsai3215 Cool 👍🏼
