Out solo hammock camping where I take on some bushcraft projects like the stone camp oven to beak some bread. I also show a solid tarp setup, introduce you to the type of hammock I use, and cover some ropes and knots. A little fishing action too.
This was my first solo vlog style video. Hope you enjoy!
