Back in the world

Just in the door from a wild camp. Had a day off work and after some last minute changes got another day off so I whizzed down to Yorkshire picking up Neodemi on the way for 2 nights up a cliff.

Some thoughts:

  • A cheap climbing grade carabiner added to a hammock makes for a very easy way to take it down and move it out of the way
  • 2 cheap small carabiners can clip the bug net to a ridge line to support it and let it slide while moving the hammock out of the way
  • It is very easy to lie back on your hammock and lose all motivation to do anything, too damn comfy
  • Cooking on a slope can lead to food loss (V managed to lose his breakfast and I nearly suffered the same fate)
  • Staying warm means layers of clothing
  • Even with layers, wind can still cool you down. Next time, bring goretex
  • Coming back to a house feels very weird and unnatural
  • 5 year old kids are very energetic

Got my Bushcooker from BackpackingLight and found there is a pack of skittles in the box.

WTF?!
