4 WALLED FLOATING SHELTER-My First Time Winter Camping in a Hammock - CAN I STAY WARM?

Hey guys, how you doing? Joe here. I'm with some new friends. We're with some people from Michigan and Kenosha, Wisconsin. Wisconsin over here. You guys have heard me talk about my top coat from UGQ Outdoors. These two gentlemen work for them and own them. Paul and Chad. And Dan Becker from Dan Becker Outdoors. The YouTube channel. So today's the first time I'm ever going to go hammock camping in the in the winter time. These guys have promised me that they're gonna set me up with a nice hammock and keep me warm. This is true? That's the goal. We'll see. So we're in the upper peninsula of Michigan right now. There's a lot of snow. We're gonna get going. We got a snowshoe hike to go and it's 2.45. We have light till about 4.45. How often do you put on snowshoes? Dude, like once or twice a week. All the time. Bam. So we found a spot down by the river. We're all going to live in hammocks down by the river. It's like a Chris Farley sketch as well. Yeah, but not as much as we just walked through. Why does it seem like you're lording over us? I am. I dreamed of it. Oh, my. Should I comb first? No. Okay, so we'll probably do a spot here from this tree to that tree, and then one from there to there, and then one from right here to that tree. That way we block Paul off, and he stays up there by himself. Perfect. Should be good. I need help though because I'm not I don't know what I'm doing yeah we'll hook you up man don't worry about it cool do this this is getting to be too much listen I have camped all right I've seen some stuff I haven't sticked my foot in my buddy's armpit before so that's something all right so I didn't lose it okay that's that and that's that so we got what do we have here uh bought uh underquilt underquilt right and hammock dream hammock and then I so these are new to me uh chad brought me them uh that they made them you guys sell these so yeah we make those but that's made by a company called dream hammock okay so dream hammock is made by dream hammock partner with UGQ is the top quilt and underquilt um so hopefully i'm gonna stay warm i also have my top quilt that i already had in my pack i gotta get that out so i'm gonna have to i gotta open up all these little packages in here yeah you gotta show me the whole deal bro this is like brand new so it's literally not even been open okay so it's gonna be your tree straps and your elephant trunks which is going to hook on to the fixed end of the hammock and then your carabiner just for strapping around the tree elephant tusk and fish trunk elephant trunk got you so we got a nice spot here right by the river in with the cedars and with the red squirrels look at these guys already already all set up up there jeez i don't know so what are you doing lashing it through that might be wrong i feel like two was enough i don't know why they had go and put three on there just make it more confusing for you i do get confused easily that's not right you gotta go back this way that's tight it's good yeah normally this would be a lot quicker if this wasn't all like you know brand new and the yeah if you would have set it up properly before you came out well let's just not forget that dan still had tags on his snowshoes so why say it again you're not going to use the carabiner because this has a sewn loop on it okay um so it does the exact same thing okay so no carabiners you don't need to use and how high do you know to go how do you know how high it depends on on the slant and the distance between the tree and all that so this is pretty level um but basically once we get it dialed in am i going that tree or this tree that tree um so once we get it dialed in then i will kind of adjust the height on it um but we won't really know until we get the hammock set up okay oh perfect i'm obviously gonna have to adjust these straps a little bit shorter see that's a simple setup done I like that then obviously you got to adjust the strap length right like a normal buckle right and then when you're ready to finish this you just push it back through to lock it I worked up a sweat just getting in now you're gonna be cold well I'll be sleeping on the ground I guess good thing I brought my normal set up oh no how's your buddy so a little trick that we use for setting in the hammock angles and everything so what you're gonna do is take your finger and thumb and you want your finger to be pointing level and this hammock suspension should be touching both your finger and your thumb so right now you see it's not so you actually raise this strap up and lengthen it a little bit so we get a steeper angle understood I did not know that that will probably make all the difference in the world for me so and then the other thing is that you should have about this much slack in your hammock Ridgeline okay if you can't if you can't twist this it should be like it should be laying straight but you should be able to twist it about like that with nothing in it right with nothing in it so if that's tighter than that it's too tight it's tighter that's too tight and otherwise you'll see it and it'll be sagging way down it's too once you get it oh okay I got you yeah right so you want it you want it when it's set up right it'll be about this tight which this one would work at this angle but I'm gonna adjust it just a little bit more to get that that right pitch right it's pretty close cool the nice thing is once you get this once you do it a couple times it'll be pretty easy on on the setup don't look at me tilting that slightly no i mean that's pretty good yeah that's pretty good i'm gonna tighten it just a hair more but other than that it should be solid so and then as far as how high it is off the ground that's fine um yeah i mean obviously depending on what time of year it is if it if you're expecting a lot of snow you don't want to be too close because it could build up underneath you and start making contact with your underquilt or hammock or whatever right um so i don't know i usually set mine up about a foot and a half to two feet off the ground knowing that once i get in obviously i'm gonna sag down some cool this is pretty close i'd be pretty happy with that there's zips on both right correct super lightweight and then yeah i've never I've never done any winter camping in a hammock before I know people do it up to like negative 40 i've heard people go to this meetup called the frozen but hang mm-hmm but i've never done it so these guys are promising a warm night sleep all right so what am i doing here all right so right now we're checking the angle of the hammock to make sure that you've got the right pitch the right lay obviously i have to lay an asymmetrical you don't want your feet all the way in this corner and then your shoulders gonna be all the way over in this corner so even farther sideways yeah like that yep so wow flat you are now yeah i do so and then obviously you're gonna have the underquilt that's gonna cover the full length that's gonna come up past your shoulders it'll it'll clip in here and then it'll come up to about here okay so that's gonna give you full coverage all the way around should be down further or is this exactly where you're comfortable because the nice thing about the underquilt is it's fully adjustable so i can actually slide it all the way to this end or all the way to this end or right in the middle right you can lift it to make it tighter you can open up both ends to get a draft underneath to get a little too hot okay so that's good then right yeah i think it looks pretty good okay cool i'd be happy with it nice well it works for me so so the next thing that you would do is you would put your top quilt in here just to give some weight to it while we're suspending the underquilt and then we'll make the tarp the last step so that's one of the primary differences between hammock camping and tent camping if you're out hiking a long day and it's raining um hold on dan is he serious right now dan we're filming an important video down here anyways um if it's raining you're forced to set up outside of the tent in the rain whereas in a hammock setup you can pitch your tarp up first and the rest of your setup is done underneath shelter which makes a huge difference especially after a long day you're not soaking wet but is my head at the white tag or what yeah your head is your head is at the white tag that's correct so yeah so the next step is going to be to get your top quilt just laid in here for some weight and then we'll get the underquilt suspended and then we'll string up the tarp and the tarp is actually pretty cool it's uh enclosed like a tent right right right right so in your hand is what that's the under quilt correct and that's good for zero degrees fahrenheit minus 18 celsius okay same with this right right which is the top quilt so that goes in the other side and what is the purpose is just for a little bit of weight yeah it just helps get the underquilt on put some weight in the hammock okay so here i've got the so this is the foot end and that's what dan was goofing about we actually put a white tab in the top and the head end to identify head end from foot end and you'll see in a minute why that's important man that looks warm so this will actually literally just wow that's it that's it it's all the setup super easy okay so and I always just do it right on the front at first don't mind your tag and then basically we just pop it down and throw the hammock and everything inside it tuck it in kind of thing a whole host now so that's where the weight comes in handy okay it's getting that all to lay oh man that looks warm inside so you've got multiple adjustments here so this has actually got a draft collar on the end and that will actually fill all the voids of the gathered end when it's all cinched up and that's in the foot right okay yep so that'll fill all the voids so that once this is set up properly you won't have any drafts coming in the foot end right and then it also has one down at the head end same thing so once this is all the way dialed in that will actually seal all the drafts around all the creases of the hammock which obviously in this environment is ideal to not have any drafts coming under your bottom do you use a pillow normally in yours or no uh i sometimes um if it's if it's warm out i don't but i actually have a down pillow that we made um that i use for the hammock that actually has use a prusik knot and just tie it onto your ridge line that's cool that way you can have it like pushed up out of the way or then pull it down where you want it on some shock cord this is equipped with a three-way suspension you've got a primary a secondary and then a head and foot draw so the primary with primary purposes it runs the full length of the under quilt what that does is it creates lift so that will actually take and lift the entire under quilt up which is good you know if it's cold weather you want it to be a little bit more tight to your body if it's a little warmer you can drop it down and get some breeze underneath the secondary this is your positioning suspension this will position the under quilt farther that way or up towards this end and it will also lengthen out the under quilt so if I were to pull this it will eliminate all that scrunching effect so if I do it on both sides it'll elongate the entire underquilt just to give you a little bit more room but also doubles as a positioning and then the head and foot draw is pretty self-explanatory that just yeah cinches up the end like a sleeping bag right so if you it which is really nice if you've got an oversized quilt and it's not as cold as you expected it to be you can get a nice breeze under your back and cool you off pretty quick that makes sense cool that's it for that so do you think you think we should pitch out that or no that's if you want to, I don't know, we can figure out how we're gonna get it in the ground yeah I'll do a snow anchor yeah I mean if you want we can do one any side and then that will balloon this out it makes it easier for getting it out because it'll want to sit like this I'll probably need that for the first time I imagine if I don't fall out of this thing we're doing good so really in a hammock you're not as concerned about drafts obviously because you're covered from the entire bottom so you only really need it to cover just past your shoulders because this is doing the rest because when you're in here I mean look at how high this is sitting your shoulder didn't come to but here and then over here on this side you had you know eight inches of coverage so this is wrapping right that's that's wrapping you from the bottom and the sides and then the top well at that point it's just gravy i mean it's just gonna help seal in the rest of the heat and that top quilt has a foot box and all that jazz too inflated foot box this also has a draft collar yep um dual head draw so you can pull it in the center or on the ends if you want yeah so your first quilt had just the end draw right um so the new ones we actually came out with have it both in the center or the end so if you want if you're someone that wants to pull it in the middle you know a lot of people like that so that's why we introduced both no it's slick this one also has the dynamic tension control which is this system that runs through the hem it's a piece of flat quarter inch elastic webbing and that basically just hugs it much tighter to your body gives you more of that sleeping bag feel with less weight and more packable right so this is to set up the tarp and you've got a fancy ridgeline on this one too don't you yep so this is the continuous ridgeline with loop aliens so this is gonna be the fixed end so this is the end that we just literally wrap around and lock it, what is a loop alien? It's just a loop alien, okay? It's just a, it's a thing man, it's the thing that you use to hook your tarp up, come on Joe so this side super simple, sorry go ahead, make a loop, put it through, lock it on, okay that's it and then we're gonna go down to the pulley in, I'm still trying to figure out how it works, okay so this is now locked in place roughly where we want it so I'm just going to take this, put a loop in it, slide it through lock it on over top and now this becomes a pulley where I can literally just pull this and it tightens the whole ridge line and then I'd lock it in place right there like a taut line hitch on, and now it's locked nice and it's not getting loose ever, cool, um and then obviously once you want to loosen it you just pull that out and now it's loose, what is that? Amsteel yeah, 1.75 millimeter, so this is literally just going to clip in there, oh man, am I good or am I good? It's a pretty good eyeball right there so just by carabiners, yeah that's it, okay cool and then this is obviously yeah, prussic, prussic so pull it under tension, good to go, oh my, it's got doors so that's super tight, it's got doors, oh snap, welcome to the luxury inn, it's not even in there wait wait wait i gotta wait run this ugq tarp is pretty slick they've got cord locks uh built right in so you're going in the big side from underneath and then going back down through messed up my cordage going back down through now when you want to pull it out and tension it or loosen it stakes so i'm going to use snow stakes for this because going pounding into the ground is not going to work what kind of pitch what kind of angle am i looking for right about there i'll wrap the stake in cordage and literally just bury it in the snow stomp on it and that's not going anywhere and again i can loosen it tighten it right back up that's so slick okay so we're pretty much set up look at how slick this thing is man this is completely closed in And I was saying if I brought these these guy lines in a bit. I could get more room on this side coming out see how the the ends are kind of pulled in But that's fine because I do have the room on the sides of my hammock I kind of want it there for the winter time, so I'm gonna just finish this up, and I'll show you what it is It's so cool, man. You like that's enclosed. You know what I mean. That's a shelter now. That's not just a hammock Yeah, just a floating palace all right, so I just gotta tighten up my yeah just tighten up on one end right all right got you so then that's done snow anchors in there and then when i want to get out or in bam all right guys let's take actually do you want to show them the the the hiking pole or the pole setup thing to to widen it you want to just you can just show them with your hands it's fine yeah um yeah like what it's for uh so this is what's called a um panel pole and we actually make a pole kit for this where it's basically just a piece of aluminum tubing like a tent pole and this is basically gonna run up and over the ridge line connect to the other side and that will balloon this up just to create more internal volume for for your experience inside right so that's that that pull out is mirrored on the other side the pole goes over the top and just bows it right out right so you can also use trekking poles too which most people already carrying when they're out hiking or backpacking and you just run it over top of the ridge line and your trekking pole is gonna come out straight and then you just attach a piece of cord with a toggle or whatever you have or just tie knot to it and that works just as good here i'm gonna can you just pull it again for me yeah see the like you can live in that look at look at the space in there now that's just one side yeah exactly cool thanks all right let's go on inside guys and see the setup so you saw me unsnap this this is all set up this gets open now right and i've got i'm completely enclosed in here I got all this down warmth all this shelter it could be a snowstorm out there I'd be fine in here pretty cool I don't know that I'll pull these yeah I don't think I will I've already done enough snow snow anchors today we'll we'll see we'll leave this but I'm excited to use this so we're literally running out of light is 430 there's not gonna be light past 5 no matter what no one has got a single piece of firewood there has been no fire spot picked out nothing like that so we uh yeah i'm gonna kick it into high drive and start busting out some firewood graceful as ever inception in cameron shin in cameron shin in in yep inception my good friend here my new friend which is joe joe robinette robin robinette or robinette robinette robinette he's got a a small youtube channel he asked me to come along because he called me this morning he's like dan you know i'm really hurting for subscribers he's like can you go winter camping with you right you know i'm i'm like fine so we're here thanks dan i really appreciate it saved my life man yeah yeah yeah stoked to be with this guy if you don't know who he is by now you haven't you haven't been living so dan becker not dan becker has a youtube channel yes sir called dan becker yeah dan becker there you go thanks well there's not much in the general vicinity but we got this dead piece hopefully this is pretty dry even though it's not very dead standing should be good pretty hard wood I think I brought a fire log did ya? That's why your backpack was so heavy. Check check. Steak tartare Yeah that was Dan's contribution. Solid piece of wood. Now if you want me to take a turn. Lose some layers now. Flashlight war is going on here. we're luckily okay so we did so we just seized we have enough birch bark here to start a fire so that's good we've got some split stuff some stuff split down because a lot of our twigs uh were wet on the outside with ice got a good base here probably just lift this up and let her go it's a little icy and wet on the outside but again birch bark is amazing and the fact that it'll burn even when wet dude someone hurry take two feeling really nice up there too see but you you know burns a good thing a little burn even though it's flat I think I swear yeah so much oil yeah like you would never want to put this underneath something you're cooking on a grill or something of you yeah yeah I love it yeah my favorite thing I have a hybrid kind of thing it's called a pack boat and it's like an open top kayak so basically I paddle it with a kayak paddle right yeah so it's uh I can get out of it easily it weighs 26 pounds I portage it everywhere 26 pounds yeah it has a removable carbon-fiber yoke it's awesome yeah I've shoot at 24 yeah manual yeah I keep my eyes on because I can't figure ISO out yeah you know what's crazy about filming outside is like the Sun will go behind a cloud and drastically change the way things look well we've been hanging out it's late at night what time is it boys what time is it about 7 15 there you go 7 15 that is not white is it really it's 8 04 it's a little bit better it feels like midnight it feels like midnight i'll give you that i'll give you that just just chatting here having a good time by the fire been in all that snow already cooked up some food are you gonna tuck him in you don't want that on film are you gonna come tuck me into bed yeah a hundred percent nice all right boys pillow turned down yes uh actually down jacket turned into a pillow turned down jacket turned into a pillow turned down service all right good night guys good night wish me luck hopefully i can stay warm i'm looking forward to this nice and cozy in here okay i want to work my way into this cocoon of warmth and i'll get back with you when i'm laying in there well i'm all in here oh just talking to the camera that's all right it happens snug as a bug see you can see i'm laying asymmetrical there's the end there laying off to the side i'm gonna do the bug net up because these guys are saying that i can get a little bit more warmth that way so why not but i'm feeling good it's uh it was cold getting into here but after about like 30 seconds i could start to feel the warmth already coming coming in and it is nice and warm i'm very comfortable so we'll see how she goes we'll see how i fare in the hammock of warmth. I'll get with you guys in the morning or if I'm freezing in the middle of the night I'll let you know that too but have a good night and I will see you sometime soon. Well as you can hear I'm still in bed. People are working out there sawing away. I just don't want to get out of this cozy comfortable cocoon of warmth this is the best night's sleep I ever had in a hammock my whole life. I stayed completely warm, stayed completely comfortable my only issue is that I did not bring a pee bottle into the hammock with me I had to get up about three or four times but other than that man I uh I slept like a baby and the thought of getting out of this into the cold winter is not it's not appealing so I'm gonna let other people cut the wood while I lay in here got it there you go that's what I was waiting for all right I will uh I'll get up I think I do need to set up this hammock once to here with these guys here to give me pointers and then so i can have it down because i really want to be able to use this in the future and um i know myself and setting up things like this is not my forte but we'll get it down before we leave anyways breakfast to come soon now for the cold part putting the old boots on all right you're pretty good man it's not that cold eh no it's not especially when you've been working for right well that only took me like one minute just did that right now took you that long oh man where's this beaver oh my goodness that's a full-grown dog oh my goodness dude never seen a beaver that big it looks like a bear from here oh he's gone he heard us here we are yeah dirt wow that was big so we're at this river it just kind of solidifies right there and the water keeps pushing right underneath it so why don't you go down there and get a better shot i'm not going for a swim no no not today it's beauty out though hey gotta love northern michigan I always love camping here. All right, I gotta get some more clothes on now. I think I'm gonna pop off the the front of this and open it up so I can access my stuff a little bit better. What that's going to entail is digging out these snow stakes. Good view of it here. Very enjoyable night's sleep. I'll tell you that much. it really was use this as a seat now Not too shabby. I do got to put on my gaiters. A little bit of snow in my boots. walking around for these short boots I do like the short boots now for winter. I used to wear these big long pack boots. Keep the snow out. but for hiking and snowshoeing these short boots do the trick way better and to mitigate the snow getting down into my into my leg and my pants and the shoes use these gaiters and they work amazingly it's so sweet is it uh you think it sagged at all in the middle of the night you think it's good uh it might have some so what do i do to fix that tension here oh no yeah i mean here's here's what i've learned um if you if you slept good in the way that it was last night i did i would do everything i could to not adjust it so even if this is sagging a little bit part of that's probably because your phone's weighing it down but the other thing is is that you woke up comfortable which means it's going to be in the same position when you go to sleep so i really i wouldn't even mess with it got you only time i would is like if you toss and turn a lot or you had tight spots on the back of your calves or something like that those are all indicators of improper setup no it was all on point so i would just leave it got you in that case but then again i had a zero degree set and it was yeah probably overkill for last night i was toasty all night so just had a couple of cold spots but how'd you sleep pretty good yeah good yeah nice and warm nice so where's that beaver oh my yeah it's big it's like a bear it's a small bear like 35 40 easily there's a really good opening you won't follow our trail down yonder over the hill i know right it's not I've never seen a beaver that big like ever go that way dan there's a big opening over there just go go dad go dan why are you filming in black and white you guys cool if i go check out your setups do it man go for it right up there yeah let me go put some stuff away real quick what the hell oh my goodness what is happening you can't really see much of mine no you're you're camouflaged in the snow like john cena so that's an 11 foot that's a 12 foot that's a 12 foot i have what an 11 foot 11 foot understood so everybody's in a hammock this trip Oh look, there's a little squirrel home. That's probably the squirrel that ran across your ridgeline lives in there. Yeah, you know what he's saying Okay, yeah, yeah, you did Look at that, it's that squirrel again set up is this one Like all my stuff to match Yeah, I just had a 20 degree set last night. So I don't want to get down to maybe like it's like down there 25 oh you got the Tyvek nice yeah yeah ground sheet and then a trash compactor bag over there for keeping all my down stuff in my pack very cool these tarps are super lightweight too eh yeah about 14 ounce that tarp the tarp the tarp itself's about 14 ounce that's really light good size coverage two 12 foot ridge line yeah nice and taut snow do the snow anchor trick oh Oh, yes, yes, got to do that in the wintertime, eh? You can pull these real tight. Yeah. Yeah, what is it called? What is it? Not canted. Cantonary cut. Is it, yeah? Yeah, it's like a decelerating, accelerating curve. Right. It takes all the slack out of the suspension bridge. I knew that. Decelerating, co-calilating. Decelerating, excavating something or other. Oh, that's a pretty cool view down there in the camp, too. That's a nice little camp. Yeah, it is. I thought some people were walking up on us a while ago. So did I. There was something that was walking through here. Really? I thought it was you coming down the hill. Well, I thought I heard. Probably a 50-pound beaver. That was a big beaver. I thought about that in the middle of the night. I'm like, I hope it doesn't smell. Don't talk about it. Don't want to talk about it. I don't like snowshoes. And this is Dan Becker's setup, Dan Becker. Dan Becker's setup. Ooh, I like the color of the underquilt. Thank you. Slick. You're all frosted, eh? Ooh, you got ice, bro. Yeah, I see that's nice. Why are these guys? Why what is these two? Bottom coats seem more puffy than mine. Oh, we put more in it. Oh, okay You just leave me a little skinny guy to give me like an extra ounce, right? Oh, I think I gave you like three or four ounces because how much you whine the first time So you can do that on both sides and that will keep keep it in place that's a slick setup I'd really do like that weight Dude, we already signed you one, okay? Well, you know what? How many more do you want from me? Four. We're bacon greasing up this pot so we can use it to scramble some eggs in. We got bacon and eggs. And a fogged up lens. You got an afro on your face, dude. Okay, rub it in. You're getting beard hair in our bacon. It's not dandruff, it's salt. How many? All right, drop the eggs in now. That's it. We got it, we got it. Don't put it on the fire, don't put it on the fire. Why? We gotta get the eggs in there With the spatula Like crack it and then one hand look at home. Would you, I swear to God? I'm gonna throw all of you in this fire right now. That is not an egg crack. Sorry dad Make sure you dispose of the shells properly I'm just really amused right now. This is all fun This is all normally. I'm getting my chops busted, so it's good. What you like You got shell in there, you kidding me Dan Becker there's no shell. It's on your thumb get it Now it's in your eye take one hand one hand crash a little bit more for good measure This guy's so fancy you ever seen that video. Yes, everyone has, Dan apparently hasn't, I was like. What are you doing? I don't know what you oh my goodness eggs here I don't even want somebody else see you put them all in we cracked all the eggs oh we did pine needle for garnishing where's that Laris? I didn't bring it. Do you want some spice? Yeah, I put salt and pepper on it. You guys watch me do it? No You gotta get up, don't worry about it. No, no, it's fine man. Yeah, well it's balsam What do you mean a tiny bit of a kick to it? I salted. What, you weren't kidding? No I wasn't kidding That's awesome. You didn't know that BAM son. Yeah You know boys. I just like to be like a supervisor. You know I'm just hoping these eggs are phenomenal Really dude, that I'm not gonna lie. This just isn't cuz I'm saying this, but this spice is incredible. Bring it home It's for real good. What's it called? BAM son, BAM spice rub. It's really good. I mean you can't beat it. Yeah Two beavers. Two beavers. Same size. See him, Joe? No, I'm looking at these squirrels. I don't care about your beaver. He is eating that bacon, you're right. Well, I threw him a piece of bacon. No, it's rabbit squirrel time now. Throw them down there for the squirrels, Chad. What are you talking about? I don't know, brother. Huh No, that's a bear. That's a bear. Yeah, Ruth The aquatic bears. You guys see the bears? I think so. I think they're black. They're really big. It's cold out. So where are we going? What are we going to do? We're gonna go see the lower falls here at Taquamanon. Taquamanon Falls. See some more woods with a lot of snow and whatever else we can find. Maybe some more beaver. Maybe some beaver. That was weird, man. That's really strange. Lost Dan. We wanted some me time. Yeah, it's probably got a ton of water right underneath it. If you're in a hammock, ultimate survival hammock, bushcraft, survival. Right. You'll be fine. She's a little wet. It's just a bit. Extremely wet, too. I agree. Yeah, this hasn't been done long. There's water. Wet ground there. Yeah, it definitely is like a cedar-y swamp type of thing. That's good firewood right there.
