ITT: Being comfy.
Whats your set up? I recently got a hennessy and have a hammock gear quilt coming in the next week.

I get really moody staring at reflective pools while outdoors. I can't shake the suspicion that if I were to just keel over and dive into the water I'd emerge upside down, dry, in a world identical to this one but with no people, no hatred, just nature's selfless qualities.
beautiful pics, anyway. Love that red cabin.

I miss summer
>>695502

summer here is so fucking comfy that this picture looks edited
>>695505

I'll post a winter picture next so you understand how fucking bleak and depressing it is

reeee
Woke up to this

aye, north Yorkshire
most of the summer photos are on the hills at the very north of the north York moors, and some around this village
>>695522
carved this into stone for a thread a while back

its carved on a chunk of sandstone on the top of a famous hill here, carving things into it is tradition stretching back hundreds of years
>>695522
Thought it was familiar, im also in north yorkshire. Its bleak and shit and depressing, but in summer its ENGLANDS GREEN AND PLEASANT PLANT
But no Camping!
>>695529
aye
was a nice day today, hoping this is spring starting to show her face
I was sitting on a bench/table like those some meters under in the pic
>>695527
why become a frogposter in real life though?
>>694598
I have the incubator 20 with overstuff and didn't feel warm when it was 50 degrees with a light wind... not sure if I fucked up and didn't hang it right or what but I was a little under impressed.
>>694015
Do you guys want to see the opposite of comfy?
This is a picture of me with garbage bags taped around my legs to wade through what was essentially a swamp in the Reese valley, New Zealand.
My (one upon a time) 'waterproof' boots were no good because they had a small hole somewhere, and because they only went just above ankle height. I was severely under-prepared for the trip. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Ended up with all my pairs of socks getting wet save for one, my pants getting soaked, and my basically being able to pour water out of my shoes.
That very same night, my hammock split right down the middle and I had no sleeping mat. Still with at least two more nights to go on the hike, I toughed it out and slept on the ground under my hutchie. It sleeted that night. It was fucking cold as shit.
Next night, same shit. Wrong time of year to go to this valley. Water up my legs, fucking freezing, but me and my bro slept in a cave we found on a bed made from moss. It was cool, but I was still grumpy about my hammock breaking.
Cont...
>>695918
Pic related is me looking quite sad in our "cave" shelter. We hooked up one hutchie so that we would be protected from water, and another as a ground sheet type thing.
My mate put his boots (at the front of pic) too close to the fire while he was trying to dry them out.
The top-back of one of them melted quite badly. Never ever dry your boots too close to the fire.
The next morning, with our semi dry socks, we packed all the way back to the trailhead. Weather forecast said it was only going to be colder, and with no insulation from the ground I was not keen to spend another night. On the way we took a "Shortcut" up over a plateau. Bad idea. It was a huge bog on the top, knee deep in swampy spider infested moss. A little grey bird we fed rice to followed us all the way.
We got back to the trail 'car park' just as it started to get dark and wondered how the hell we were going to get back to the closest town, Glenorchy. Just then, some people rocked up in their wagon "just to have a look". They were nice enough to give us a ride all the way back.
My friends you have no idea how good the hot bread and chicken schnitzel at the local pub tasted that night.
>>695923
But you know what guys? It was one of the best experiences of my life. The scenery there was beautiful, me and my best friend got to experience things we had never even imagined over there. Despite the shit that happened, we managed to keep a positive attitude and laughed it off. We were inexperienced campers, and had never hiked anywhere near as far as we did over these couple of days.
The landscape out there absolutely dwarfs you, and the snow-capped mountains almost bring tears to my eyes even now when I see pictures of it.
That's what it's about. That's why we go /out/, friends. I don't care about all the shitposting, all the bullshit on this board. You're all my brothers because you all love the same thing that I love.
We endure the shit things that happen. We endure the muddy boots, the wet socks, the freezing cold. We endure the gear failures, the shitty boring food, and the rationing of clean water.
We not only endure them, we embrace them so that we can experience what it's like to be inside the wilderness. To interact with nature on such an intimate level, and to stare in awe at her beauty.
Friends, things like this really make you appreciate how big the world is, but also help you to realize that you are a -part- of the world.
You can walk in places and see things that others have as their computer wallpapers. You can sleep in caves on beds of moss in a beautiful valley. You can set foot in places that a very select few people have ever been, just by taking a few steps off the trail.
That, my brothers, is the comfiest thing of all.
>>694861
Un des plus beau site des pyrénées. Chouette photo
>>695951
I have a bunch more pics. I'll post a few of the good ones.
I love going back through these photos. It's all memories I'll have with me for the rest of my life.
This picture here is from halfway up the side of the valley. I think if you look close you can see a tiny little hut on he other side. It gives you an idea of the scale of the picture.
>>695959
Tiny little hut is very close to the middle of the picture. Here's a "close up".
The mountains that surround you in this valley are massive.
>>695960
This photo was taken on the second morning of the hike when it was sleeting.
The cold I felt in my feet is like nothing i have experienced. The sleet was forming a layer of ice around my wet shoe, and it was making my drenched sock progressively colder.
>>695962
That photo is pretty hectic, good thing you made it out alright.
>>695962
The majority of this trail followed the River down the valley. The water in the river was so beautiful and blue, it was unbelievable. So, naturally...
>>695964
... I stood in it.
and freezed my balls off
>>695963
In all honesty I think things could have gone much worse.
This picture shows just how under-prepared I was for the weather.
The only waterproof item of clothing I had was that rainbird jacket. It got me through the rain in Vietnam, but it just was not enough for the cold sleet of New Zealand.
Luckily I had a good sleeping bag, so at night I managed to stay reasonably warm (despite sleeping on the ground with no insulation)
>>695969
We were carrying more than we needed, but you have to keep in mind that this was our first ever major hike, and we had to carry all our possessions for the whole two weeks we were in New Zealand with us.
>>695973
Shirtless photos were a must, but rest assured I put my clothes back on very quickly. The wind was super frigid.
It really is a surreal feeling being so far away from anyone, with only what you have in your pack. No phone service, no way of contacting people if anything were to happen.
It was just me and my friend and nature.
I don't remember who said it, but something was always at the forefront of my mind on this trip.
"It's never you against nature. Never think that. You have to work with nature, because if you try to best her she will change on a whim and you'll be gone in the blink of her eye."
>>695976
forgot photo
The slightly quizzical look on my face in this one always makes me laugh.
>>695978
Anyway, last one for now unless people really want more.
Thanks for listening guys. Sorry for de-railing the thread (sort of)
I really hope everyone reads my original three posts to understand my story and why I commented on this thread in the first place.

>>695981
Cheers dude, looks like a lotta fun. I just traveled all over the US and hit a ton of national parks, but I did it solo so I didn't get to do any epic hikes like this. I wouldn't do something like that solo, not unless I was a stud /out/ dude and in better shape. Trying to get a friend to hit up Glacier or Yellowstone with me in the next few months to do a 3 or 5 day backpacking trip and actually get out and enjoy the solitude.
New Zealand looks sick by the way... I've heard nothing but good things about it.
>>695978
testament to the fact that all the separates a weab from a frontiersman are abs
>>695991
Man, I would love nothing more than to go back to New Zealand. Such a relaxed atmosphere and everyone you meet is so nice.
Yeah, doing it solo would have been pretty scary. It really tests your friendship with whoever comes with you, though.
Yellowstone would be bloody awesome.
>>695992
When I have a shirt on do I look like a weeb? Ruh-roh, I better change something up.

I just generally have this fantasy of landing helicopters on places that are difficult/impossible to climb, laughing, having a bottle of champagne and taking some photos, and then going back home.
Apparently it's been done for Everest.

And incubator 20 with over stuff should easily take you to 15 degrees. You must have had some air gaps.
With that quilt hung properly, you shouldn't even begin to feel cool until it's below 20 degrees, you should even be able to tolerate the cold at 10 degrees.

Hows the Yukon rainfly? I've been wanted to get one. And how heavy/bulky is the DIY quilt?
>>696970
me too, anon
>>697424
Woot has the Yukon rainfly now for $17, go buy one, it's pretty awesome for the price. I like mine a lot.
The DIY quilt is very light under 2 lbs (30 oz) for the top quilt and under quilt together.
When I was in West Glacier National Park. Those cabins aren't lived in and are historic, but still looked comfy as fuck. There were a few of them all in a row.
>>697548
Was getting tired when I was behind the wheel, so I pulled off on one of the million side roads in Dixie National Forest in Utah. Car camped for the night, behind me when I was taking this pic is a huge valley that looks out for miles. Wind was a bitch that night, but it was beautiful. Not the most comfy of pics, but it was a fun night and was super comfy for me.

>>697354
That's what I figured from all the reviews I read that I was doing it wrong. If you would be so kind as to do a quick write up on how to properly hang an underquilt I would be grateful. I have looked around and there doesn't seem to be many tutorials for it. The best I saw I think was a video from shugemery (sp?) On YouTube.
Would having a UQ that is too long (I think is 6'8") be an issue for it? I got the long because I'm 6'1" and figured if I had one that was 6' that if I shifted my head or feet would hang slightly out on either side. My Hammock is a wbbb double layer so it provides a litttttle bit of insulation/wind resistance
>>696457
I remember you. You posted that pic last year and everyone shooped it with skyrim helmets and such. Cheers mate

>comfy
I hope English isn't your first language but I keep seeing you misuse this word on this board. "Comfy" is a contraction of "comfortable", which means physically comfortable. "Cosy" is even more ensconsed then that, it means being wrapped in a blanket in front of the fireplace. None of these words pertain in the remotest sense to the experience of sleeping outdoors.
>>698182
>"Cosy" is even more ensconsed then that
>then that
I hope you're baiting, or perhaps English isn't YOUR first language either.
>>698182
>ensconsed
Not OP but English isn't my first language so I hade to google that word . Couldn't find it, can you please explain that word for me?
>>694897
>the other perspective on the same meme
>>697474
england is just so inconsistent with weather
>>698221
Try ensconced.
I don't think the critical Anon understands English very well. Might be easier now you have the right spelling.
>>698182
>"comfortable", which means physically comfortable.
>"comfortable", which means comfortable.
>"comfortable" means comfortable.
>ensconsed then that,
ensconced than that
This is a bait post, right?
>>698177
yeah I bet you look forward to getting pegged in that tent
>>698274
This made me laugh
>>698160
Cool guy
I'd be honoured to have a trekking friend like you
>>697801
Sometimes hanging an underquilt on a wbbb can be tough because of the foot box, not impossible though.
Honestly the best way is just trial and error in your yard. If you have a significant other, or friend, have them lay in the hammock (in your normal position) and adjust till it fits.
You want the quilt to be snug up against tou, without compressing any of the quilt. You also want to make sure each end is cinched up enough so that there are no gaps. Sometimes cinch in them up TOO much will create a gap.
Spent two nights here with my girlfriend a couple years back. There was plenty of easy rock climbing all around too.
>>698396
Thats nice, im planning to do same but i have do get a gun first.
>>698416
Why do you have to get a gun?

>>698438
Where might that be? in the places in sweden and norway where I have been there has been none of those people and I am mostly solo
>>698371
Thanks anon I figured it was trial and error so last night I set up it was about 35 degrees and I tightened everything up more than before and tried to follow that video and I was a bit too warm I guess 2 ounces of over stuff will do that
