Hey Luke, that inflator works as a fantastic fire bellows. Makes getting a fire going even when a bit damp, easy. I won't go backpacking without it.

Isn't that one of the Flextailgear pumps? I have a similar one that I got and started using a few months ago. They're great, if you know how to keep it powered up! Took me a little trial and error to find the USB port on my computer to plug it in. LOL

I have the same inflator(and deflator). That thing on top of it is for deflating. I use it to vacuum seal my jackets so it will not take too much space on my backpack. Then the inflator for my pillow and bed. That thing makes my camping more comfortable yet light weight.

Hey Luke!! My daughter and i love watching your Episodes. We don't really do camping, but I love watching the adventures you and your wife have. We live in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 , the home of Carnival. I agree that people needs to be more courteous in this world today, but my mother had a saying "manners make a man". Continue doing what you do we enjoy it.

Why not go camping in Maracas bay. Lovely up there. Bake and Shark too.

I bought the XL version of the haven tent and I love it! Never slept in a hammock before but this is really a great product!

@10:24, that adjustable loop is a form of eye splice, typically this style is seen on dyneema kite lines, and Amsteel (also dyneema) sailing lines, but usually the adjustable end is inside the main weave and not adjustable. You can make your own from videos on KZread.

It looks like a Whoopie Sling, and the buried part looks kinda short IMO, but maybe it was the filming angle.

@@mikekraut7643 it IS a whoopie sling. But it derives from a sailing eye splice. Whoopie is either a later trade name or just what climbers/hammockers call it

That battery powered inflator….AMAZING. I have never seen such a great, small, quick inflator like that. To me, that is the most amazing piece of gear in the video.

I LOVE THIS HAMMOCK AND YOUR SET UP!!!! It really is cool looking at least so far.

Photography will change one’s perception of the world. It seems most people are just passing through the world without really looking at it. But with a camera, I find myself looking for a good angle or background. This old world takes on a completely different look. When your looking for beauty.

We appreciate everything you do brother so much help when it comes to buying our gear thank you so much you r the man....

Those Black and Whites were superb - keep it up!!!

Idk about everyone else but I love this type of upload. I like the sitting around talking episodes. Definitely a favorite of mine and the wife.

Luke Your photography is jaw dropping!!

Love my Haven. Awesome company too... Derek really cares about his customers. 👍

My favorite movie EVER! I’ve watched it ‘over’ 100 times and that’s NO lie! 👽

Luke, WOW! Those pictures were awesome!!!! The ones of the Mooe were "out of this world!" :) I would love to have those framed in my office.

My best wishes my friend. So beautiful Hammock. Be always safe and stay strong

You have a good point with the courtesy issue. I hope all is well with you and your family. I've been enjoying your adventures for a few years now. They've even inspired my wife and I to get out in nature more. Strength and Honor Luke.

Luke,awesome video. Cool Hammock too ! Thanks 👍

It’s the only type hammock I can use. I still have the old jungle hammock from the Vietnam era. I like this hammock.

Just so you know, the suspension used on the Haven hammock is called a "Woopee sling". Good to see you off the ground and swinging in the trees!!!

i hate whoopie slings. i have them on my WBXLC hammock and i cant seem to get them super tight. when they are tight you need 3 hands to get them any tighter. its like the slack wont pull through the berry, i have to move the berry to tighten. i know that probably doesnt make sense, but oh well.

I loved your pictures they was so good hope to see more of them.

Hey Luke, Great review and I look forward to more of them on the Haven Tent. I have the XL. I am returning it because the bug net ripped away from the seams at the ends of the zipper, where they connect. The customer support with Haven has been extremly helpful. They love the feed back and want to hear from folks on how to improve their system. I have since then bought the "standard" version as the system is very much dependent on the size and stature of the person using it. I stand 5'10" and weigh in at 220. When I tested my Haven tent, the middle of the sleeping matress kept wanting to fold in, creating a trough that I would slip into. After discussions with the Haven support team, we agreed that I have the wrong size for myself. So the XL for me didn't work. I'd love to see your review of this tent as a "ground" setup and how it will perform in a rain storm and heavy winds over 15mph. I love the channel, keep it going.

My friend, I been enjoying your work for some time. I was hoping someone would check out this Haven tent/hammock for a while. I should have known you would be the one. Thank You.

Hi Luke, great review! I love my Haven tent xl so I am already there. Weigt, well sleeping good is a priority for me and its a learning curve to set it up right for your own prereferences. But a very tight ridgeline, full pad and headside higher is a must for me to get it flat! Haven support and customer service is the best I have seen!! Looking forward to see more from you, your review are always great and educational!

Thank you for a relaxing show. Your photographs were so lovely! I watch quite a few different camping type videos and the only ones I continue to watch are those of you who are honest. Bless your heart for staying real ❤

Luke thank you so much!!

That pic of the moon over the mountains was amazing

Laying flat on a hammock would be way more comfortable for me, looks like a sweet idea to me. I was also considering getting a portiledge used for rock climbing and bring it camping to sleep flat off the ground.

Hey Luke, thanks for the mention. Enjoy the books especially the outdoor cookbook!

Enjoy your videos Luke, Yuengling is my favorite and I don't have to drive across the country to purchase it any longer as it's now sold in Texas!

Absolutely loved this adventure Luke! I have loved camping since i was very young. My dad took us kids about every weekend from spring to fall. Oh how i miss those days! Thank you so much for bringing a smile & remembered memories to this old lady. Now i really want to get serious about teaching my grandchildren. Stay safe & see you on your next adventure 😊

Those photographs were amazing! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Hey, Luke. I always fire up my Thermacell before opening my tent or hammock, and climb into the tent with it. That keeps the worst bugs out. As a back sleeper, this hammock looks pretty comfy.

Hey Luke. I Hope everything is well with you and your lovely family. I really enjoyd this video. Please make more videos with this hammock. Very interesting peace of kit this One! Wish you all the best. - Daniel

Thank you Luke for the time and effort you put in to help us make informed decisions on gear!

Hi Luke. Cheers from Canada. I 've watched many of you videos in the past. But this is the first time I have seen your photography. Outstanding my friend. That bridge, wow. And the moon so large and clear with the fore ground. Spectacular. Such a talent. I hope you get to enjoy more of your passion. Live life large Brother. It's shorter than you think.

Enjoyed watching your video Luke. Dropping a line to say that your photographs are amazing.

I love your videos! Your photography is fantastic! Puts me into another world of adventure while teaching me very useful outdoor tips and great gear knowledge! I get very excited when I see a new vid up and I thank you to you and your family! Lol, turkey gave me a good laugh!

That is a really nice hammock and a great camp. thank you Luke for sharing.

Thanks for everything!

Thanks Luke for keeping it real. I use my Haven XL motorcycle camping, it really works well for that.

Dos Equis AND Yeungling BOTH ROCK!!!

Amazing photography!! You are going to think I am crazy after not liking the drive in ‘music’ but the music with the photos was great.

Hi Luke glad to see you with a Haven. I think I was one person who mentioned it to you, probably not the only one though. I know you will enjoy it, I have a Haven Safari and was a part of their Kickstarter group.

I STILL want to know how much extra walking you do setting up some of those camera shots.

Les Stroud (Survivorman) was the pioneer of the filming yourself with commercial gearand he talks about it in some of his director's commentaries. Can double or triple the amount of time to do simple tasks. Imagine when you add in things like canoeing, floating on a raft or dog sledding and you have to go back. It is a nice change from the traditional documentaries with film crews on-site.

Awesome pictures Luke!! Keep up the great work with that. Take care.

Hi Luke, as far as the beer goes, we just got Yeling in Texas, and had not found it yet. I agree with the style of the furniture not fitting the Carolina woods. Glad you burned it and did not just let it rot. Hope you are having a great spring! Say hi to Susie for me, I want a solo adventure from her sometime soon!

I have been waiting for your review on the Haven, I have been on the fence about it because I can't hammock camp because of my back, but this thing intrigued me. Luke, keep up the amazing work.

Amazing pictures! Wow!

Looks like a good hammock tent

Hi Luke, I've heard you mention the fact you're a photographer a few times on the channel and it's always appreciated when you share your creativity. I'm currently planning a photography trip on the East coast of Canada, nothing in life draws me into the present more than being out in nature and taking in the scene. Looking forward to more, Cheers!

Wow!! The pictures you took are amazing. You definitely have an eye... great job..

Hey Luke, hope all is well with you and yours. I'm all for being courteous so I agree with you on being courteous no matter what. Unfortunately I've been told that when I ask questions I should keep it short and straight to the point because youtubers get thousands of questions. I certainly will try and remember to be more myself in the future when asking questions. Thank you for what you do, I enjoy it very much. Take care!

I agree totally with curiosity in daily life.And practice it with pleasure.Even it is not reciprocated.

Dear Luke, this may be a bit more direct and a bit less courteous but I just wanted you to know this particular video was truly special from start to finish and it is now my favorite. Thank you so much for what you do!!!

Those are some good pictures Luke. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful black and white photos.

Luke, You should do a whole video of you just going to these places you like and taking pictures and showing the outcome of your shots. That would be great.

Hi Luke, I ran into an issues where my eyesight virtually went away. Dr's are still wondering. So I've been telling YT via voice to go to your channel.

im sorry to hear that. i would recommend trying out Lions Mane mushrooms which are legal and they have a range of amazing benefits like literally repairing the brain. magic mushrooms have been known to do the same, but of course they are illegal and many people are afraid to delve into their inner self. micro dosing them has amazing benefits though and you dont feel high or anything. if i was you id listen to the "paul staments joe rogan podcast" he is a mycologist that is an expert on this stuff.

Hey Luke, Thanks for the shout out, hope your all doing well, take care, Sam

Fantastic video keep up with the good work be safe

The pictures of the moon are insane!!! I have had the Haven for about 2.5 years, I was one of the original Kick Starter supporters. I have slept better in this tent hammock than any other. You do sacrifice weight but I'm not an ultra light hiker, so for me its worth it. One time i did forget the tree straps on a hike at Linville Gorge and had to rig it up with only paracord, it was a little sketchy but got the job done.

Alas Babylon is my favorite book. I read it for the first time BLB (before Luke's birth) and have read it so many times - my first copy was held together by a rubber band. I have gone through several copies since then. To this day, I refuse to own an electric can opener and only use a manual one, have to have major containers of salt and sugar, and keep a large supply of needles and thread. I live in Central Florida and have always felt this is where Pat Frank found his Fort Repose. Fascinating read - almost as interesting as your videos. Thank you so very much for sharing.

No Country For Old Men is my absolute favorite movie of all time

No Country For Old Men.....EPIC Flic!!!! Great content mate.

You are right Luke manners and being courteous sadly don't exist much it's down to social media well people can behave badly with no , consequences i've been watching your videos for over 7 years now you and your family are good people and I totally agree with you so I will use your phrase strength and honour young man

That tarp is like getting into someone's shitbox car with the headliner hanging off the roof. 🤣

1) Good Day; hope all is well with you and yours 🙏🏾. 2) Very nice vid; the content and equipment review was very nice. 3) The capture of the moon was simply amazing..! 4) No Country for Old Men is a masterpiece.

Can't wait for more testing on this hamok

I am so glad to see you doing the Haven Tent! I hope we see more testing of this, both in hammock mode and tent mode. Most of the videos i see on it are clearly being being either paid or got it provided for free. I am really interested in one as a versatile system for motorcycle camping.

Hey, Luke, you'll find that the pump and the air sack will not supply the pressure to make the pad rigid enough enough to remain comfy. Drastic cooling after dark will affect rigidity. Topping the pad off by mouth is an easy solution. I love my Haven. Mi cat does too!

Outstanding pics and music. More, Luke, please more.
