Wild camping ideas with the 110 and hammock/tarp
Hi all,

I'm am avid wild camper/bushcrafter, usually favoring ground dwelling, or hammock & tarp, however I fancy taking the kids camping on our farm and using the 110. I was thinking of rigging a tarp somehow to the side of the 110 (no roof rack - that'll be another thread!).

Has anyone done this and let's see your wild camping set ups using your defenders.

Cheers!!

Hey Paul,

I have more than one or two hammocks and tarps etc, but living “away up here” it’s much easier to find a quiet spot off the beaten track, usually by canoe.

I have occasionally thought about what you’ve outlined - using the car as one anchor, and then a suitable tree - but probably harder to get that to work than you’d assume initially, but then we come up against the definition of “wild camping” and that wouldn’t comply. Using your own land you have more scope.

They’re older now, but had often taken two kids/two canoes/three hammocks out for this kind of trip. Priceless! Donald

I regular sling a hammock between my 110 and a tree for lazy afternoons at camp. However, my 110 has a roof rack making it very easy to attach the hammock.
