hi eyes what I'm doing now is I've shown you how to put the tar and the whoops I'm going to show you how to pack it away really nice and simple now the way I always do it is i always do there's always bad weather as though it's rained so i always start with panic so I'm gonna take a hammock down first show you how to pack that away and then I'll move on to do in the tarpaulin so first thing you need to do really simple all it's tied up with the shoelace knot so there was not a quick release accord on really easily so I'm undo those now then what's that song done now you'd usually listen to guitar fallen just in case it was raining and yours going off for another day's walk in or camping or whatever you don't want your hammock to get wet so always do this from the top I'm doing it outside the top just for the purpose of the video and to put these chords way all you do is well pull it ticket lap fall in half pull it in half again and put a nice loose overhand knot in so you end up with that that's nice and tight then do the same with the other side
laughs a lot please and put those two knots together nicely is that now all my bags and things are hunger podria they happening for the whole time of being camping so I know everything well no everything is it makes the air time your process much simpler you've got a nice organized right now a lot of people will fold their hammocks up and keep them really nice and sort of well folded inside the bag part of the same space I don't really bother with that because I always have a lot of space in my bag anyways so all I do is take two knots start by putting them in then grab the bit wheel or the fabric is once cuz that's a heavy part stick that in the bag and then just force the whole thing in very nice and simple because these DD DD bugs are really spacious and although it's not stuff that you can use it just like that's packed away no really simple also much quicker if you're not talking to a camera as well so I'm gonna chop that Oh with the rest of my stuff while if it was raining I'd be sticking it inside my bag with the rain cover on just to keep it dry those bags that they come in are waterproof that's the hammock gun so the next thing is start by taking the tarpaulin though so first thing we'll do is get to take the guy lines down so we will take the bat ones down first and i'll demonstrate on the front door the game you're doing the same tying on the back of the guylines what you did on the hammock court just keep everything really nice and tidy wait in the back get your tent pegs together now again my tent peg bags just over here where the rest of my bags are so let's find it in there put the bag down someone remember it or put it inside my hats because these bags are always a very camouflage color so take the guylines down all you do is pull the peg out stick your peg in the bag now the front ones I'm could take the walking stick out place it with the rest of my tools and gear so I know where it is otherwise love my camera man shouting at me for losing his walking stick bold the guylines easy if you let that sigh a little bit they're really nice overhand knot in keep that nice and tidy same again take tent peg out that seems like I'm doing a lot of walking around for my tent pegs and what have you but what you find is if you if you put your bag in a place where you know it is and walk back and forwards to it you're not really putting it down in places are losing those temp eggs okay call that guy line tie off nice and neat the next time I go to use it now the next bit II make sure that you've taken anything that you click to your guy line off torch and then if you want to have a closer look here I'm just going to loosen these project nuts slightly so I've got a bit more giving them so i can now slide that along keeping this tough wall and slide it to the central one the same with the one on this side now that top is now pretty much oh that's that's not gonna stay like that I'm just trying to demonstrate how how pretty much colder it is and we'll leave that hanging there just for now but it will open out again so the next stage please to start taking your guideline down which is really simple just undo your not to put in as various not you can do in your guideline and they do some videos and the different types my particular favorite is around turn and two half hitches but they're after you quick release lots to do you can use it to much better in cold conditions and you don't want to be fiddling around with knots with cold hands that comes and done nice and easy on the rocks up loose take that guyline down lay out flat so it's nice and neat click my last bag which is myself falling back
so mom is attainable that's why that this second knot is usually a little bit fiddly to undo unless you're using the quick release because you've got the weight of that pulling down on one side it helps you pull the correct piece of rope
so take off slide that by off the end this is my hammock bag I need to know where to find it so what I'm going to do is just leave that over walking stick and lean up against this tree where the rest of my tools are and exactly where that is to buy it now in a second then keep your hold of one loose end bring it over to your other piece so you've got those two ends together like that and start to fold it again really nice leap loose overhand knot stop it or getting tangled up there but I can pick up my tarpaulin which is now ready to go the next time i use it everything is still attached to it it's folded up nice in the center and all i've got to start folding that up like so
hopefully this is not an exact science straight back in this bag it's easiest to this whole floor the ropes and things in there just pour that in always find the ropes and the bits of that hardest bit to get into the bag and once they're in purse a bit persevere a little bit with it Pat's away really nice it's ready to use next time one last thing to do a peg bag I've not had to look around for it and exactly where it is it's just throwing my hat stick that in the top close it all up and we're done so that's how easy it is to pack away and a Haluk and tarp set up and as you can see if you look at where it was with the exception of walking sticks and the tools which are still hanging up there going to be gone soon you'd never know that anyone was here there's absolutely no trace the grousers it's got from a tent or anything like it's a really fantastic way to camp so as always please share my video around give me a like and subscribe and if there's anything you'd like to see me trying to do or doing a how-to video for anything lap please give me a shout and thank you for watching guys
