You ready?
Alright, so for today we are gonna go camping
Because we need to try out our new hammock
We're gonna be selling these on the website
but we need to make sure they're good first before we let you guys buy them
So what we're taking
our hammock
a mosquito net
a tarpaulin
knife
Nala's jumper, just in case it gets cold
Nala's toy
head torch
some lunch & dinner
and, what can you see?
What can you see?
She loves that window, loads of birds sit out there
Also got our sleeping bag
and our wee camping stove
So anyway, aye, we're gonna pack this up
we're gonna go a wee drive to the woods just down the road
set it up
and just have a night
under the canopy
Ready Nala?
Aye, let's do this
Good girl
So
This is where we're going
loads of mud
Forgot my boots
Yes
Whoops, sorry Nala
walking into branches
Just need to find a couple trees
need a good place for the hammock
You want to go down and walk?
Please
Jump
Good girl
Right, you lead the way
Come on, yes
Come on then
Good girl
Wherever you're walking with a cat, it takes forever
She wants to stop and sniff every single branch
Shall we?
Woah
You holding on, Nala?
Wohoho, where are ya?
She's got the right idea
And look at the size of some of these trees
That's what I'm hoping to find
just 2 close together
hammock in between
Oh, this looks like a good bit, just up here to the left
Looks like there's plenty space
Made it
Right
Now all we need is just to find a couple of trees, close together
and start setting up the hammock
Let Nala off and play
You good?
Aye, let's do it
Aye, one here
One here
Check the top, see if it looks save
But another thing we noticed,
we've got a wee path here
and I mean that could be deer
at dusk and dawn, just moving about
So fingers crossed, if we just get there, get quiet, we might see some animals
And Nala is just down here Hello girl
Eh?
You happy?
And she's normally happy just walking about as I'm setting up the hammock
I just leave this loose, her lead
and she never goes far so
You all good?
Yes
See if you can find a mouse, see if you can find a mouse
Right, build hammocks
Let's have a look at what we have
That's my hammock
hope it's my hammock
Nah, this is my actual hammock
and I don't know why I chose blue because half the time I'm trying to hide from people
when I'm camping in places I shouldn't be, so I got a nice camouflage colour
So nobody can see me
Good thinking Dean
Nala
Now the moment of truth
See if it holds my weight
My light, nice, light 110 kg
Whoo
Perfect
Gonna lift it up a wee bit just so I'm off the ground
and look at that for a view
So I actually prefer sleeping in a hammock rather than the tent
but the reason I didn't do that much before was because it was raining a lot
and we didn't have any cover.
Now we have a tarpaulin to go over the top
And it's meant to rain tonight
So we're gonna give this a go
and see if it keeps us dry
Looking quite good actually
then that'll come down
nice & tight down there
But
I'm gonna fold that over there just now
Cause it's not raining yet and I want to see that
*Puff puff*
But it in
Head's gonna be up this side
just so we can get that view
Beautiful, love sleeping outside
Anyway, let's go and find Nala
Nala
Where are you going?
You coming?
Yes
So while she's happy up there
that's like her wee watch point
I am going to make myself
a coffee
There we go, perfect
Coming?
Starting to get dark
Looks like we could get rain soon
What you doing girl?
You're just happy to be out of the house Eating all the grass again, eh?
Yes
There we go, right on cue
Started to rain
Got the tarpaulin up
So aye, just gonna get comfy under there with Nala
Aren't we?
Uhhh huu hu it's getting quite heavy
Right, anyway, let's get under
You good?
Whoa, whoops a daisy
That's it, you get yourself comfy
You good?
Oh that's a good back scratch That's a good back scratch
That's a good one
Eh?
You good?
Right, stay there, I'll sit here
Where are ya?
Hello
You can go and lie in the hammock
Beginning of May, and we're not getting hail stones
I did not expect this
Did you?
Should I come to bed? Should we get comfy?
Should we get comfy?
Right, jump out, come on
Good girl, thank you
Good girl
Good jump
Eh?
Good jump
Well, it looks like the
Rrrrah, it looks like the rrrah?
It looks like the roof's doing its job, keeping the rain off of us
and it's comfy
Eh?
Look at that, that's her wee spot she likes being scratched just to the left of the arm
Look at her face
Right, so, the rain has stopped
Nala came up here for a cuddle She is sound asleep
but I'm gonna wake her up because it's important to tire her out before bed
If she sleeps now, then I'll be up most of the night
But if I play with her beforehand
You coming up?
You coming?
You coming? Come on
Come on, jump
That's it, big stretch, good girl
Good girl, don't fall asleep, jump out
What is it?
What's on your nose?
Rrrrrrahhh
Rrrrrahhhh
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
Good morning
What a good sleep I had
It actually rained pretty late
but it stopped raining now
So we're gonna get up, have some breakfast
pack our stuff away, then head home
But the hammock, I'll give a 10 out of 10 cause I love sleeping in hammocks
And the tarpaulin,
as far as I'm aware, has kept us dry
So aye, it's all good
and she slept all night as well, look at her
Ready to go play? You ready to go play?
Right, let's do this
We always do a buddy-system, so she faces that way, I face this way
Keep an eye out for any dangers for her
You all done?
Good girl
I don't even know if you can see it, but ticks, I absolutely hate them, look at it
Tiny
Can barely see it
and they're everywhere, I've already found 2 on my leg this morning
So, home
and then a thorough check of my body, see if I can find any
Eh?
Bet you're covered in ticks as well
Hope you've got more than me
Really don't like them
Down this way, come on
You wanna walk? Come on, it's a nice bit
Jump
Good girl
Whoooo, ya bugger
Sorry Nala
