Chillin In My Hammock-Day out with Scout

Big guy. You warm? Are you warm? For you, yeah. Look at this, man. Almost got a stick up the butt. Danger Bacon. How you doing, guys? Joe here. Just out in the woods with my buddy Scout. It's been a while since I did one of these videos. As you probably know, I've been doing tons of canoe tripping lately. The reason being, it's hot, man. It's hot beyond belief. I'm sitting here sweating my brain out. It's 9, 12 in the morning. So I decided to get out. I wanted to get out to the woods for a day. I just got back from a family camping trip. We went to Elora Gorge, in Elora, there's a big, by the Grand River, there's a bunch of campsites, there's a bunch of conservation areas, we went to the quarry, we went jumping, cliff jumping off the quarry, Emerald Cliff jumped with me, probably about 10 or 12 feet up high, so that was really cool. Yeah, so I guess just wanted to get out with the dog today, like I said, get out before it got too hot, I got a couple cool things to do, I got a new hammock, this one is a parachute hammock and it's lightweight so in the past you've seen me use my Yukon Outfitters hammock well that one is it's great but it's a little on the heavy side it says ripstop I don't think I need personally that I weigh all of a hundred and forty pounds on a very very good day so and it was a little bit big and bulky for what I needed so shopping around I found this one this is a great two-tone parachute style hammock weighs about half my Yukon Outfitters hammock so they're marketing it as a two-person but i don't think it is a two-person it's about perfect for me by myself should have went the other way so you can see my face i don't think it is a two person it's about perfect for me for myself anyways that's a nice cool little thing uh cheap too uh you've got a Gear Best that website under 20 bucks i think it's like 15 so that's how it's connected at the end it's a little different than i've ever seen before a thicker rope at the gathered end wrapped around itself and tied off a bunch of times i don't know how it'll hold up i imagine pretty fine i don't see it going awry and if that was the case i could just tie these two pieces together or melt them together it came with a little bit thicker rope than paracord to tie it to the tree but that rope is garbage and i'm not going to keep the paracord on there that's just to test it out this is a cherry tree super dense wood and my 140 pounds for laying on it for i don't know an hour out of the day today is not going to make an effect on it at all i am going to go buy some webbing and rig up webbing on there so it doesn't damage the trees when I'm laying on it this is going to be my camping hammock I guess I said that wrong this is going to be my lounging hammock while I'm camping excuse me maybe in the fall I'll do some nights overnights in the hammock but as far as canoe tripping depending on the canoe trip if I'm doing distance whatever it's going to be my chair it's going to be my lounge and sometimes it'll be my sleeping quarters you know that train but uh yeah in the fall i plan on doing a sweet week-long solo hunting uh bushcraft fishing live by myself kind of thing and that's going to be what i bring for lounging and for uh my day or two that it takes me to get into the site that i want to get into the lake the certain lake that i want to get into i'll just sleep in that and then when i get to the lake i want to set up a bushcrafty camp so that should be should be pretty fun anyways like I said the whole point of me getting that was just cuz it was lighter and Yeah cheap Seem a little parched So a parched sit We gotta get that the people see in the scooter drink the water. Oh, no, you're out of frame Just give me the water. Give me the water. Yes. I know bring him a bowl. It's much easier I know knowing and doing are two different things the first time firewood bro my firewood okay you're gonna make it hey lay down buddy cool down for a minute okay it's another reason why i don't go out in the summer around here because i feel guilty not bringing the dog and i bring him and i feel like he's gonna pant to death get too overheated his coat is like triple thick lay down scout so if you're wondering what i'm doing it's hot out why would i be getting a fire going well those skeeters they don't like fire too much but they like me and they like Scout so they're starting to come out a little bit should make some curls if i can figure out how this wood isn't working for me right now take two how's my firewood working out for you number number number number careful this log doesn't roll on me while i'm doing that I've got cut from that before pretty bad a load i love watching Joe's videos the epic scenery is made even better by his fantastic camera work and editing truly is a joy to watch everything uploaded on his channel but i am the only one that cringes every time he pronounces portage as portage and he spelled it p-o-r-t-a-h-z-j-h this guy's not a hater a lot of these guys aren't haters they're just it's just funny comments no offense at all buddy mike replies it's just a canada versus usa thing portage is a French word and he pronounced it as we do here in the video, most parts of the U.S. it is pronounced portage, all true, but you're speaking English, thanks for the reply Mike, Mike goes I can't speak French, cheers from Canada yes, but only with mayonnaise, I haven't taken French in middle school, I've got a ton of comments saying I pronounce it wrong and I really, it's just, it's how it's said here, it's not wrong, I'm not telling you guys you pronounce it wrong at portage, I know there's like places called portage in Michigan, I think in Maine too, there's probably a portage but and here it's portage, it's just like an old French Canadian word my old buddy Kenny said to me, well if it's, if you guys pronounce portage portage why don't you pronounce sausage or sausage, sausage and I always remembered that except for I screwed up the delivery always screwing up deliveries what do you think buddy, I'm booked up for camping trips for this year I've still got a ton of trips to do Next one. I'm heading up with Sean again from my self-reliance We're gonna go do some bass fishing. I'm not too sure where yet. We're still trying to nail down a location that has really really good bass fishing slay some bucketmouths, set up camp, kind of take it easy instead of doing such a arduous trip arduous rough trip, getting a little gray in the muzzle there, bud, old man scooter Folks rookie mistake only one battery, and I'm running out on my last bar now, so this is it This is the end of the video. I'm going home. Anyways. I'm hungry. It's done So I'll leave a link in the description for this hammock check it out under 20 bucks I had priced something similar the other day in two different stores outdoor stores around my house cheapest I could find $60 Canadian a little bit different design, but the parachute material was the same I'm gonna try this out for a while. I think I'm gonna like it. I like it already So I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I will see you soon on the next one big boy. Good boy We fine, we fine.
