mushroom 12,352 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 My mate is pestering to get out up to the mountains for a few days. Now it's bloody cold up there in the Pyrenees at this time of year and hammocking without a decent heat source is not happening. I've used the body length leanto type fire before and it works a treat just can't see it working with a hammock and not being highly fuuckin dangerousYou don't need a fire source if you've got decent clothing and sleeping bag you can sleep out to minus 15 quite comfortably ...... I've got the gear mate It can get just a tad nippier that -15 in the night up there ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I usually make a star fire if I want a long lasting fire It does need keeping on top of a little bit though,keep meaning to make one of those Swedish torches (or whatever it's proper name is).
