A few questions:

1. What tent are you using?
Tentipi Safir 9

2. Is it safe to use fire inside the tent?
These tents are made in a shape that allows the use of a campfire. They work a little like a chimney. It can be a smoky experience to stay inside, if you are not using dry firewood and preferable smaller pieces. Another option is to use a stove in the tent.

3. What are you eating and drinking on this trip?
On the firs day we baked a lot of "Snobrød" - the Danish name for the bread twisted around sticks.
Water, flour, east and salt. Rested for an hour and baked for around 15 minutes.
We also made a lot of smoked and partly dried meat for the rest of the trip.
We had duck and fresh oysters.
We brought water from home and supplied with water from the lakes on the meadow.
Juniper tea and of course coffee for me.

4. Why are you leaving your camera equipment outside the tent?
I always tries to avoid condensation and the best way is to avoid fast temperature changes like taking the equipment from outside and into a warm tent. Also I do not want the equipment to stay for longer periods in the smoke.

5. Why are you sleeping in a hammock and what brand is it?
I was introduced to hammocks a few months ago by my friend Don Von Gun who is a bushcrafter and Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/user/sorenanker
I really like the fact that it is extremely light and takes up very little space in my backpack and at the same time the comfort is brilliant. The underquilt makes it warm and the tarp turns it into a very nice shelter. The hammock I am using is a Warbonnet and it was given to me by Don Von Gun.
