hello everybody! today i want to reflect on one topic. what is better to take in the campaign? a tent? or a hammock with a tent? which is more convenient? what is more practical? what is more profitable, after all? i want to say something in advance.
as much as today i'm thinking about thepros and cons of a tent and a hammock... all these reflectionsare not final. all these conclusions change withthe accumulation of experience. the experience of usingtents and hammocks. all conclusions on the use of... of this hiking equipmentwill change... depending on the qualityof your equipment. what is your hammock. with a mesh or without a mesh.
big or small. insulated or not insulated. what kind of tent do you have? with or without awning. single or double. and so on and so forth. and all these factors willdepend on the conclusions. how and when to usetents or hammocks. what happens at the very beginning?
when we arrive at thechosen parking lot. we choose a place. or under the tent. that is, we needsome level area. horizontally. large enough. to fit the tent. double, single, quadruple. depending on the tentthere will be a plot.
what do we need for a hammock? for a hammock, two treesare enough for us. and now, the night findsus on some slope. it's time to go to sleep.there is no way to go. you're tired. it is dangerous to move.and so on. we need to set up a camp. accordingly, on the slopeyou can not put a tent. especially if the slopeis steep enough. but, if there are trees on theslope, you can install a hammock.
it would seem, a plus. but, if your trek goesthrough the desert... or in the steppe zone, .. there are plenty ofplaces to set up a tent. but, there are no placesto install a hammock. because there are no trees inthe desert and in the steppe. everything would be very sad. as for the hammock. if you fall into the desert.
if not, one "but". a hammock can notonly be suspended. a hammock can be installedas a small tent. that is, if you havetracking stick... or you prepared a stafffor the trip beforehand. do you have backpacks. maybe on the spot thereare some bushes, stones. at the place chosen for parking. with all this, you can installa hammock, like a small tent.
that is, we have dealtwith this problem. we proceed to the next moment. in a tent, even a single tent, you can,if necessary, settle down together. in this case, thetent is three-seater. and this is a palace in general! for one person thisis the whole house! this is a tent! oh. :-) and so, in the campaign,rain falls on your head.
you put up a tent. and the rain, meanwhile, poursfor 24 hours. or two days. it's boring. and you can not go. but there is enough space in the tent. so that you can eat here. make yourself a small table. you can move here somehow. oh. stretch out. doing physical exercise.
in general, you do not have to be bored. you will not be pressuredby an enclosed space. and even during the rain, you canhave a good time in the tent. and in the tent... oh. very convenient in the cold season. especially if you gocamping with a group. and in the tent are 2-4 people. you can connectyour sleeping bags.
you can warm each other. and even engage in allsorts of affection. if there is such a desire. the tent has to communicate. and creates a cozy atmosphere. and this is a plus. but, this is if youlike group hikes. if you are not alone. but the hammock is moredesigned for singles.
maximum of two people. naturally, depending onwhich hammock you have. in a hammock, probably, to some extent... so, unbutton it to the end. it's harder to climb than into the tent. but, this is a matter of skill. and the matter of experience. opa. where is the microphone? ..
notice, i'm doing all thiswith a microphone cord. :-) and today i did not take atourist rug in a hammock. i will not close. that you saw me. and i saw you. so. hammock is designed for singles. maximum for two people. and of course, the two of us can onlyfeel comfortable in a hammock in love. and this is the most indisputableadvantage of a hammock. this is this feeling of comfort!
indescribable comfort. the fact that you arenot lying on the ground. and do not feelany holes, bumps. with whom we know everyonewho goes on hikes. and who spent the night in tents. this is not in the hammock. especially if in a hammock you layan inflatable or ordinary rug. of course, you can also puta tourist rug in a tent. but, they will not give that comfortfeeling that a hammock gives.
here you do not touchhard and sharp bumps, .. with whom you willbe compelled... contact when sleeping in a tent. and this is an undeniableplus of a hammock. it's really comfortable here. by the way, i want to notice something. many doubt that in a hammock youcan sleep lying on your side. they are also afraid tofall out of the hammock. many people have the followingstereotype in mind.
that in a hammock you canonly sleep on your back. in fact, this is not so. in the hammock, you can sleep on your side. you can arrange anything. it is possible on the back. and if you want, even on your stomach. gradually, you get usedto using a hammock. and you will be moreand more adroit in it. it's more and more adroit in it.
and you will less and less feeldifferent imaginary fears. in the end, you will understand thatthe hammock is very, very comfortable. but, however, we go to the tent. so, we found out, in a hammockto sleep is definitely softer. well, what is in the tent? in the tent, as i already said, it ismore convenient to sleep with friends. and warmer, in the cold season. now let's talk about theweight of our equipment. tent and hanging system(hammock + awning).
what is harder? on this question, an unambiguousanswer simply can not be! it all depends on whatkind of tent you have. tents can be very heavy. and there are, of course, lightened. the easiest tents, as a rule,are sold without this tent. and they will flowin a heavy rain. and for these tents, you still haveto purchase a tent separately. here. "
therefore, if you go by a group... for example, how we walk, three of us... we have a triple tent... and we often divide thistent into 3 backpacks. that is, someone iscarrying an inner tent. someone is carrying a tent. and someone carriesarcs, ropes, stakes. and in this sense, the tent isbeneficial in terms of weight. divide one tent at all,it's definitely easier.
by weight, this will be easier thanif you take a suspension system. and in the suspension system, as we foundout, the three of us can not climb up. or together. together youcan, but not conveniently. therefore, even ifyou go by a group... and prefer hanging systems... then each of youwill have to bear... and a hammock. and the awning. which, of course, willbe heavier by weight. and in this matter, muchwill depend on you.
how good is your physical shape. much depends on whattime you go on a trip. for 1 or 2 days. for a week. i.e... the length of the trip will dependon the weight of the equipment. it will depend onwhere you are going. in the countryside with an abundanceof water, or without water. what do you have to carrybesides the tent...
and a suspension system. how much do you have tocarry food, water, clothes. much depends on the season. from the place you are going to. but, if you go, let'ssay, for a week. the group. my conclusion: it is betterto take a tent with you. it is easier to carrya tent or a foursome. than everyone separatelytake a suspension system.
suspension system is quite large.hammock + tent. and more by weight. i want to say... that the installation of thisentire suspension system... that is, a hammock and an awning... at first, it seems to youmore labor-consuming. than setting up a tent. but, to establish a tentor a hanging system... in many respects depends on that...
in what part do you set it all? you install thependant system alone. or with friends. you set the tent alone. the speed of the installationdepends on this. and for a tent. and for a suspended system. and at first, the installation ofthe suspension system seems longer. and even if you are alone. but it all depends on...
how often did you install thesuspension system before... and a tent. suppose i installeda tent more often. and the suspensionsystem only got. and just startedtrying to install. i think that when i installit a few dozen times... the installation speed will increase. and the opinion on thisissue, perhaps, will change. there is one moresmall clarification.
if you have a hammock and an awning... these two components... you can create a varietyof combinations. by their installation. today i installedthe tent like this. but it can be installed indozens of different ways. if there is a desireto show imagination. you can install the tentin the form of a tent. that there was such an entrance.
yes, this is how it is now. you can pull it like this, straight. to make a house, canopy. you can do more on one side. and there will be a moreopen hammock on this side. can be lower. higher. more horizontallyinstall the tent. or more a house.
that is, you can express yourimagination as you like. what can not be done with the tent. the tent is installedin one specific way. there is not much fantasy. of course, maybe therecan be fantasy. but, i do not see the pointin fantasies about the tent. and in the ingenuity to installa hammock and awning... there is a very great meaning. because in many respects...
the way you set the awningand the hammock from... where you install them. from that, there are trees nearby. is there anything to tie the tent. how can i pull. depends on weather conditions. from a thousand factors depends then... as you will install ahammock and awning. and now do not need tofocus on my option.
this is not the onlyinstallation option. as i go on camping trips... i will show youdifferent options. i already thought of afew interesting options. and then i'll show you. but, let's not be distractedfrom today's topic. today we discussed the installationof a hammock and a tent. for example, during the rain. and found out that in the tent,during the rain, more fun.
but, do not forget that there isa tent in the suspension system! and the canopy can be pulled this way... that under it will turn out alarge area protected from rain. on which you can alsodo household tasks. you can even light a fire ifthe tent is hung high enough. you can also warm up. and you can spend time whileit's raining outside. so, we talked about the rain. but what is best for winter?tent? or a hammock?
again, everything is ambiguous. for winter approaches, it isbetter to prefer a winter tent. not like this tent. it is designed for warm weather. but there are also winter hammocks. insulated winter hammocks. which are designed so thatthe top and bottom... protect from cold and weather. and if you add a tent...
if you add a wonderfulwinter sleeping bag... then the level of comfort in winter... and the tent and the hammockwill be approximately equal. it all depends on theextra hiking gear. sleeping bag. tourist rugs. and so on. but, again, in the winter campaign thecold most strongly comes from the earth. and the tent is on the ground.
and if you do not havea good tourist rug... if you do not have a good sleeping bag... you risk frostbiteall your sides, .. back, kidneys and so on... this risk is higher in thetent than in the hammock. in the hammock, you willstill be hanging in the air. and do not touchthe cold ground. and if you are well dressed andwill sleep in a sleeping bag... and on the rug, youwill be much warmer.
i think that i did not rememberall the interesting moments. and did not sound all the pros and cons. maybe i will voice later, as iuse the tent and hammock... it depends on my experience. i've been using atent for many years. a hammock only thisyear began to use. and i think, as far as using thesuspension system and tent... i may have some more ideas. but, for today everything.
and what conclusions can we draw? what we win? tent?or a hammock? the friendship wins in this matter! :-) because the preferences for usinga tent and hanging system... depend on manydifferent factors. are you going on a camping trip alone... or with a group... whether you go to thesteppe or into the forest. whether you go for 2days, or for 10 days.
your choice will dependon all these factors. your choice for aspecific, specific hike. and for some trips it will bemore appropriate to take a tent. it will be reasonable. it will be competently. it will be optimal. for other hikes, it will also beprudent to take a hanging system. as i said, the suspension systemis more suitable for singles. a tent, this is for singles,and for groups of people.
here are such simple conclusions. any equipment is suitable, if youknow how to use it competently. so much depends onyour capabilities. if you are an active traveler. then i would have bought everything. and a tent. and the suspension system. and i would use both. as needed.
depending on the needs. and depending on the goals. perhaps, that's it. i chatted with you gloriously. i hope, i will helpsomeone with this video. i'll help you make a decision. the decision in the choice of equipment. that's all. with you was tatiana gordeeva.
goodbye! subscribe to my channel! :-) i plan to do many usefuland interesting, .. entertaining...and cognitive videos. until next time, friends!
