OK. Hello, everyone. I am so delighted to be here with Cloud Foundry's community. My name is Giorgi, and I work for SAP as a developer. So my primary interest as a developer has been hacking for the back end. So that interest has led me towards working for SAP's Cloud Platform from the very beginning when the SAP made the move to the Cloud. So today I'm going to be talking about Docker and Cloud Foundry. So in the beginning of this year, something very interesting happened to me. Me and one other guy from SAP, my colleague Christo, who is unfortunately not here on the summit, flew into San Francisco to join Pivotal's dojo program. So the dojo program, for those of you who may not know, is a deep diving learning program. So we just get to join one of Pivotal's teams and work together with the engineers. Each morning, we drove to the office, had breakfast then, joined the stand-up, and then paired up with the Diego team that we are part of, working basically on what is Diego's backlog. And the idea behind all of this stuff is to learn the code base, get to know the community, get to know the process, the culture, and it is a terrific experience, I can tell you. So when we got back home, me and Christo had our own topic that we should contribute back to Diego and Cloud Foundry in the community. So that's what I'm going to be talking about today. And first, a little bit of context. I don't know maybe how many of you are comfortable with Diego. Maybe you saw OnSys Talk yesterday. So OK, a little bit of context on Diego. What is Diego? Who is Diego? Well, Diego is the next generation RunSIME for Cloud Foundry. And it's intended to completely replace the DEA. And it's a self-healing system, which means that it can detect up failures and bring the broken instances back up for you. And another very important aspect of Diego is that it's eventually consistent system. So this is best explained if I tell you that Diego actually perceives two worlds. So this is one world being what the user desires and the other one being what is the actual state of the systems. And you should know that in real life, for distributed systems, these two states, these two worlds, tend to diverge quite often. So in a nutshell, Diego's job is to take the necessary measures to make these two worlds eventually consistent. Very briefly, just a high-level overview of how Diego operates. We have the Cloud Controller that we know from Cloud Foundry. And we have Diego. So Cloud Controller knows everything about apps. It works in the domain of apps. And Diego works in another domain. That is the domain of tasks and LRPs. A task is a simple one-off job that you just kick off and want to know whether it succeeded or failed. And on LRPs, a long-running process. So that's basically your app that you're running. It has to run continually and be managed by Diego. So each time you start an app, it has to be staged. So we have this bridge component in the middle. So that's very important because Diego is all about loose coupling. We have the domain of apps. We have the domain of Diego. And we have this bridge that is doing all the translation between the two domains. That's exactly if you've been at OnsenStock yesterday. That's exactly what makes it possible to reuse Diego outside of Cloud Foundry that is lattice. So during staging, the Cloud Controller will fire a stage app request that's going to hit the stager, which lives on the bridge. And the stager is going to translate the start app request to a task that Diego is going to run. If this succeeds, then a very similar story. We'll have the start app request, which will hit the NSYNC. The NSYNC will translate it to an LRP that represents your application. And that's going to be managed by Diego. OK, so that is Diego. And let's now look at the topic of integrating Docker inside of Diego. First of all, are you comfortable with Docker at all? Yeah, I expected to see so many hands. So I can maybe get away saying that Docker is a container engine that makes it easy to pack, ship, and run your software inside of containers. So as you may know, Cloud Foundry has been employing containers for a long time to run the apps inside. So that's done for the mere reason of optimization. We have a runner VM, and we don't to waste the whole runner VM in order to run just one instance of the app. That's not optimal, so we want to run multiple instances of the app on the same runner, be it the cell or the DA. So that's where containers can help, because if you want to run several things next to each other, then you want to make sure that they won't step on each other's toes. So that's why we need containers. And Cloud Foundry has been successfully employing its garden technology, its own solution, its own engine to run these containers. Those of you who were at the talk of Mr. Julian Friedman yesterday have to know about garden. So if garden was successful for quite a while, running these containers for Cloud Foundry, then why do we need Docker at all? Well, as I already mentioned, Docker provides a very convenient model for distributing your containers. They define something called an image that actually can push to a central hub, that is the Docker hub. And this way you can distribute your application. You can create an image, push it to the Docker hub, and then the whole community can basically take advantage of it and reuse it. So if Docker is that good at distributing containers and Cloud Foundry in Diego is that good at running them, then why not combine the two and take this win-win situation? So now that we saw the merits of the Docker plus Cloud Foundry combination, let's look at what did the community already do towards this integration? Because this is by no means a new idea. You know, Docker has already been around for about two years. So the community have already attempted to bring those two together. So what's going to follow now is a brief overview. I'm going to mention some open source projects that attempted Docker integration. First of all, you may have heard of CF Docker. It should have been part of last year's summit. Maybe the most logical thing, if we were about to run a new technology on top of Cloud Foundry, would be building a new build pack. Because you know, the build packs are those bunch of subscripts that know how to run your app on top of the generic Polyglot platform. So that's exactly what CF Docker did. So they provided a build pack that can run your Docker images on top of Cloud Foundry. And if you want to use a project, you can do something like the following. You have to do a CF push upon to the build pack, which is CF Docker, and give it a directory containing your Docker file. Another interesting project is Project Decker. That's a project by the Cloud Credo Company. It goes one step further by providing not only a build pack, but also a separate stack for running the Docker container. Because if you want to run Docker, then you've got to be running the Docker daemon. And in order to do this, you need to provide a new stack. And a stack is something like an OS template for the VM that's running your apps. So that's Project Decker. It defines this new stack, and it's used as follows. You do a CF push. You point to the stack Decker.  So these projects were presented last year. Some of you may have heard about them. And it was changed since last year. Maybe you should know if you were at Ounce's talk yesterday. Since last year, Diego has matured. It has grown up. And now it can natively run your containers without having to install anything. Well, basically, you have to just install the new Diego CLI that makes pushing these images easier. So the Diego CLI is installed with a CF CLI. And it has this Docker push command. So if you want to run your container using Diego native support, you have to do a CF Docker push, provide some app name, and then provide a reference to a publicly available image in the Docker Hub. For example, Busybox. That's an image that's available on Docker Hub. So the key thing here is that Diego doesn't actually use the Docker daemon to run this image. Rather than this, it just simulates the Docker technology by using its own garden tooling. So this seems to work fine. And Mr. Julia Friedman talked a little bit about this yesterday. So that is the native Docker support. And let's now dig a little bit deeper and see is this production ready? Can you go tomorrow and use it in production? Well, the quick answer is no, because it suffers from some problems. So let's now look at what these problems might be. Actually, all of the problems that I'm going to talk about are from the simple fact how Diego currently operates. So currently, on each request, no matter if it is a start or scale up request, no matter if you're starting or just scaling, Diego will reach out to the internet and pull all the bits of the Docker image and then fire up the container. So this leads to several problems, first of which is something that we call unpredictable scaling. So imagine that several weeks ago, you just started two instances of some publicly available image that you found on the hub. And these instances have been running healthy for several weeks.  So you most probably go to the console and do a CF scale minus i, for example, 4. And you'll basically tell Diego, please start me two new instances then.  But if in the meantime, the app provider decided to release a new version and publish that to the Docker hub, then you will end up running two versions that are with the older version and two instances that has the new version, which is a problem. And that's unpredictable scaling. Another more obvious problem of how it currently works is performance, because it is clearly suboptimal on each and every request, on each and every start or scale operation to go and download the whole container. We know that the containers tend to get bigger, so it's clearly not optimal to do this. And last but not least, currently in Diego we lack private image support. Private images are much like public images. They are available on the Docker hub, but they are protected by credentials. So if you want to support private images, then you need to deal with credentials. And that's not easy. That's tricky. You always have this trade-off between what is convenient and what is secure. So you either have to, all the time, prompt the user, give me your credentials. Give me your credentials. Or you can store the credentials in your database, which is kind of tricky to be implemented securely. So that's the reason why, for the time being, Diego native support has opted out of private images. And this can be a problem for you if you are some organization that decides to release your proprietary app on the Docker hub. So me and Christo and the Diego core team were scratching our heads thinking about how should we address these problems so that we can make Docker support publicly available production ready. And we came up with the following idea. So we have Diego and we have the Docker hub. And we decided to plug in another component in the middle, which is the private Docker registry. So this is very much alike the Docker hub. It's a registry for Docker images, only that it's running in the private Diego network. So it's inaccessible to any human. It's inaccessible to no developer, to no user. No one can push or pull images from this registry. And it's there solely for the purpose of being accessed by Diego. And Diego is going to use it as a cache. So if you want to start your Docker app with this caching support, then here's what's going to happen. First, during staging, Diego will reach out. And as normal, it will pull all the bits of the Docker image, and then just before it proceeds and start the image, it will cache it in this private registry so that it's there, so that it's available for being reused later when you decide to scale the app. So this means that you no longer depend on what's available in the Docker hub during scaling. And that's how you solve the unpredictable scaling problem. You can freely scale up and down all the time without worrying what content might be available in the Docker hub. And even if Docker hub goes down, then you won't be impacted. So it's kind of obvious that the performance for using this cache is a bit better, because instead of going and downloading the whole container all the time, you'll be using something that is available in the local network, which is better. And what is not obvious is this registry solving the private image support thing. Well, it's not exactly solving the problem, because during staging, you still need to pull the private image from Docker hub, right? But it's really a relaxing condition, because right now, you need to authenticate the user in front of the hub only during staging. And if you do it once, then the user can freely scale up and down using the cached version. So this makes it possible to just prompt the user for credentials during staging, and then throw them away. You don't have to store them, because you have the locally cached version. So that's how the private registry makes it a little bit easier to introduce this support. So what's going to follow now is a brief demo of how all of these work together. So let me open my console. I hope you can read this. So we are going to start Docker image on top of Diego. That's an Amazon system running on Amazon. So as I already showed on the slides, we'll do a CF Docker push. We'll give some fancy name, let's say Summit, to the app. And I'm going to use this image. It's our showcase image for Diego. And one more thing I have to do. I have to pass in this no start flag. And I have to do this because I just want to create the app without starting it. And that's because this registry thing is still experimenting. It's not enabled by default. So I want to just create the app, then enable caching, and then start the app. So that's why I passed that no start flag. So how do I enable caching? Well, it's simple. I have to just do CF, set ENV for Summit app. And I have to set our flag, which is called Diego Docker cache. I have to set this to true. So this will enable caching. If I didn't set that, it was going to work the all the way. OK, so now I'm ready to start the app, CF start Summit. And let's keep our fingers crossed that this will work. Hope that the demo gods are with me. OK, what you're seeing right now is Diego pulling all the FS layers from the internet. That's during staging. And right now it's pushing. It's doing the caching right now. I will scroll up when it finishes. OK, let's scroll up. So here we can see that Docker image will be cached as. And we see some local address that's in the private network of Diego. And we see this unique ID. This is the cache ID of the image. So we see that it's being cached. For the sake of completeness, let's hit this URL in the browser. OK, so that's the app. And if I go on and scale the app, let's say I want two instances. So this should be way faster. OK, you see, we now have two instances. And if I refresh this, we should have round trouble in between the two. OK, let's go back to the slides. So that was the quick demo. It worked. And now a little look into the future. What's our timeline? Well, currently, we're here. That's MVP0. That is something that's a float, but not by any means unsinkable. We have this image caching support. And we have the opt-in because we're still experimental. We have to be explicitly enabled. Next, on our plate, we intend to further secure the registry by the means of restricting the network so that you cannot do bad things with the images and put it behind HTTPS. Another thing that we plan on doing is the private image support that I talked about. S3 storage, because right now we're using the local disk, and it does not scale. It simply does not scale. Then next, we'll introduce disk quotas, which means that if you try to start a Docker image and you don't have the disk resources, you're going to fail miserably. And then react to your storage if you don't like using public Amazon Blobstores. High availability, because one instance won't scale if you do a lot of scale-up and down requests, a lot of starts. And then eventually, we plan on adopting the next version of the registry and the next version of Docker when they come out and are sufficiently stable. So to summarize what should be the takeaway of this session, please try this at home. We have it in the incubator. We should go to the Cloud Foundry incubator slash Docker registry release. We have a readme, some easy steps to follow to install this. With Diego, please try it. Send us feedback. Feel free to open issues, write us emails by all means, help us build this together. So having said this, I'd like to say a big thanks to the core Diego team. These were the people that made all of this possible. They were a great help to us. So many thanks to OnSeed PM and Diego's core team. And thank to all of you for your time. So I'm now open for your questions if you have any. Thank you. Questions? Can't hear you too well. Is the caching at the app level or across apps? It is at the app level. Every app gets pushed under unique identifier. But because you're running the Docker registry, then if you have the same apps, then you won't be duplicating the bits. Because the GraphFS is helping with this. It won't duplicate the bits. It will only duplicate the metadata. Do you have plans to support private registries? Like an internal registry? Didn't quite get it. This is a private registry that serves as a cache? No, no, no. An internal private registry instead of the Docker registry. You mean if you don't want to work with the hub? Correct. OK, so the purpose of this registry is solely to be used as a cache. And that's for security reasons. If you want, you can maybe reuse the Bosch release for the registry. You can kind of spin up your own and still use it with or without the caching. So that's a different problem. Even today, it's possible to spin up your own private registry and start from there. So it is possible, but it's not in the scope of this caching thing. How much of the Docker remote API are you planning to support things like environment variables and volumes and stuff like that? Is that all on the roadmap or where are you expecting to get to? Yeah, it is on the roadmap. Currently, we are not supporting much of Docker's metadata. You know, it's some early stage. That may be a question that's better suited for the garden team, but we have this on the plate. We plan to soon add support for users, for ports, custom ports, because right now we're just using 8080. And we surely plan to extend on this. OK? There are no more questions then. Thank you for your time. And anyone that's interested, you may come to me. And thank you.


Today, marks 50 years since the tragic Southern Aurora train accident, when nine people were killed and a further 117 passengers were injured. Just after 7am, Australia's overnight express passenger train between Sydney and Melbourne, the Southern Aurora, collided with an all-rebound goods train at Violet Town, 174km north of its Melbourne destination. The Southern Aurora bore the brunt of the collision, with two drivers, one electrician, one conductor and five passengers dying. CFA's thoughts are with the families, relatives and friends of those who were impacted by the accident, while we should never forget those souls lost and the impact on families and friends. The efforts of our CFA members who were one of the earlier responders at this incident should also be remembered. Local, district, regional and state teams from all facets of the broader community provided steadfast and diligent service during a tragic time in this state's history.


Hi, Mrs. Veena Sunil Patki, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics Engineering, Walchand Institute of Technology, Solapur, welcome you for this session. At the end of this session, students can analyze RLC series circuit through AC. So, this is the series circuit, resistor, inductor and capacitors are connected in series, VR is the voltage across resistor, VL is the voltage across inductor and VC is the voltage across capacitor, R is measured in terms of Ohms, L is measured in terms of Henry and capacitance in Farad, V is the total voltage is given by Vm sin omega t that is the AC voltage connected across series combination. So, we can write down VR as I into R, VL equal to I into XL and VC equal to I into XC where XL equal to 2 pi FL and XC equal to 1 upon 2 pi FC both are measured in terms of Ohms. So, total voltage is the phasor addition of voltage across resistor, inductor and capacitor. So, we can add VR, VL, VC as a vector because all that three voltages are not in phase. So, you can see here from these three diagrams that is VR is in phase with the current for resistive circuit, VL is leading to the current by 90 degree for inductive circuit and VC lags current by 90 degree for capacitive circuit. For this RLC series circuit we can draw the phasor diagram. So, here we can draw the current phasor and then the VR is in phase with the current and here VL leads current by 90 degree and VC lags current by 90 degree. So, here this is the basic phasor diagram for RLC series circuit. And if we want to draw the phasor diagram for this RLC series circuit we have to consider the three conditions that is VL is less than VC, VL is greater than VC and VL equal to VC. So, we are going to discuss all these three conditions one by one. So, for this first condition VL is less than VC. So, again we can draw this phasor diagram like this as draw first the current vector then VR is in phase with the current, VL leads this current by 90 degree and VC lags current by 90 degree. Now, when we calculate the phasor addition for these three first we are going to add VL and VC because both are exactly opposite to each other. So, after addition of VL and VC here we will get the VC minus VL because VC is greater than VL. So, here we will get the resultant of that VC minus VL then that VC minus VL is added with this VR and then we will get the total voltage V like this. So, this is the total voltage and the angle between voltage and current is theta. So, you can see here the current leads voltage by theta degree and we can draw the voltage triangle from this phasor diagram and we can write down the voltage and current equation like this V equal to Vm sin omega t and I equal to Im sin omega t plus theta. So, from this voltage triangle we can write down the voltage equation V equal to under root VR square plus in bracket VC minus VL bracket square. Then by putting the values of VR, VC and VL we will get the equation like this and we can write down this as V equal to I under root R square plus in bracket XC minus XL bracket square where under root R square plus XC minus XL bracket square is Z. So, here we will get the equation V equal to I into Z or Z equal to V by I and Z is the impedance measured in ohms. So, we can draw the voltage triangle and impedance triangle like this and Z equal to under root R square plus XC minus XL bracket square and in rectangular form Z equal to R minus J XC minus XL and in polar form Z equal to magnitude of Z angle of minus theta and from this triangles we can write down the tan theta and we can calculate theta as tan inverse of XC minus XL by R. So, power factor is cos theta and cos theta is here leading power factor because the circuit is capacitive in nature. Now pause the video and think for series RLC circuit impedance or voltage total must always be calculated by A adding values vectorially, B graphing the angles, C multiplying the values and D subtracting the values. So, what is the answer? So, answer is A because always we are going to calculate the total voltage and impedance by adding the values vectorially. For the second condition, VL greater than VC. So, draw the first current phasor then VR is in phase with the current, VL leads the current by 90 degree and VC lags current by 90 degree. So, first we are going to add VL and VC so resultant will be VL minus VC and by adding this VL minus VC to VR we will get the total voltage V here like this and the theta is the angle between voltage and current and current is lagging to voltage by theta degree. So we can draw the voltage triangle here like this so we can write down the voltage equation and current equation here V equal to Vm sin omega t and I equal to Im sin omega t minus theta because current is lagging to voltage by theta degree. So here the voltage triangle from that voltage triangle we can calculate the voltage as V equal to under root VR square plus VL minus VC bracket square. By putting the values of VR, VL and VC we will get the equation like this and we can write down that equation as V equal to I under root R square plus in bracket XL minus XC bracket square and V equal to I into Z where Z is the impedance Z equal to under root R square plus XL minus XC bracket square. So Z equal to V by I so Z is measured in ohms. From this voltage triangle we can also draw the impedance triangle and we can write down the formula for Z as under root R square plus XC minus XL bracket square. So in rectangular form Z equal to R plus J XL minus XC and in polar form Z equal to magnitude of Z angle of theta and we can write down the tan theta from this both triangle and we can calculate theta as tan inverse of XL minus XC by R. We are going to discuss about the condition VL equal to VC. So this is the basic phasor diagram. So first you draw the current phasor VR is in phase with the current, VL leads current by 90 degree and VC lags current by 90 degree. Now if we calculate the resultant voltage for this first add VL and VC but here VL and VC both are equal and both are opposite to each other. So resultant of that is 0. So if VL equal to VC then the total voltage is nothing but only the resistive voltage that is given by IN2R or we can also write down that as IN2Z and from that we can write down resistor equal to impedance for this condition. So here we can calculate the power factor equal to R by Z and if R equal to Z then the cos theta equal to 1. We can say that the unity power factor is there for this condition. So here we can write down the voltage and current equation as V equal to Vm sin omega t and I equal to Im sin omega t because voltage and current both are in phase. So the condition for resonance we can summarize all that points as VL equal to VC. So we can write down that as XL equal to Xc and impedance is equal to resistance that is Z equal to R, power factor is unity and in this condition for resonance as VL equal to VC we can write down that as XL equal to Xc that is why we can write down the equation as 2 pi FL inductive reactance XL is given by 2 pi FL and capacitive reactance is given by 1 by 2 pi FC. So we can equate that and from that equation we can write down the frequency equal to 1 by 2 pi root LC. So this frequency is called as resonant frequency and that resonant frequency is measured in terms of hertz. So you can refer the book Electrical Technology by B. L. Therese, thank you.


Do you need a magical name? Hey there saplings, welcome back to esoteric moment. I am going to dive into the topic of magical names today. A few weeks ago, Pagan Perspective did the topic and I've seen it on a bunch of other channels. So it seemed timely to just chime in on my two cents about magical names. From the conversation, it seems like people weren't always talking about the same thing. There are certainly folks in the Pagan community that have magical personas. This public name, image and profile that goes with writing books, teaching classes, being on social media, owning a witchy shop, something like that. And that magical name might have more to do with branding, honestly, and has less to do with craft and magical work. This isn't always the case. Sometimes it's the same for people. This personal branding name and persona can be really important when folks have communities that aren't supportive or family members that wouldn't be keen on it. It is in many ways a protection talisman, a name that allows them to be public and to share what they know and to be a part of the community in a really rich and vibrant way without jeopardizing their own individual personal lives. And I think that's great. Some of those folks have that same name as a part of their magical or craft name. And I would say that's a probably a smaller minority of folks. The magical name for most people is fairly private, I think, and is something that is used within a specific trustworthy coven or grove or group of practitioners. Maybe it's something that's only used within that individual circle, specific magical workings where a name is necessary. A magical name could be useful in order to kind of help you designate what is sacred and magical space and what is mundane and normal space. Calling yourself that name, using it in conversation with others in that space is really good like vocal sound cue that this is magical space. Magic is, of course, a great way of empowering ourselves and enhancing our identity. So choosing a new magical name might also be kind of a foundational empowering act in and of itself and using that just reinforces that new foundation of confidence and empowerment and saying, yes, you are a magical pig and witchy druid person and you can do what you need to do here. I think magical names can also help us tap into a new creativity or realm of experience. It's a good way of changing the way your mind thinks about a situation by changing the way you look at yourself and your interaction with the environment. When you have that shift between mundane and magical, just with a keyword like a magical name, it allows you to think in new ways that you wouldn't give yourself permission to do otherwise. Now between this persona magical name that's very public and this private magical name, I do think more and more people are starting to kind of merge the two and bring it together. And I actually have mixed feelings about this. I can see where both would be very useful if it was something that helped you in your magical practice or your public life. I can see we're having three different names. You're like legal name, your persona name and you're like private magical name would be probably too many, but I am a bit concerned that people are kind of confusing the two and and not in a very deliberate or conscious way. Just in a well, this is what I thought magical names were. And so I'm really curious how many people actually have a magical name. Let me know in the comments and whether that has ever been a part of the way you publicly present your craft or practice and you know how that dynamic worked for you. Personally, I don't have a magical name. I use esoteric moment to describe my blog and my community that we have here, the sacred grove that's kind of set apart this moment we have together to explore druidry and spirituality and connection to the earth. I also don't have a magical name because I haven't had a need for it. Honestly, any of the magic or practices that I do are very comfortable with me using my own name. I am privileged to enjoy the name that I have have really good associations with it. It doesn't need to be any more empowering or set apart for me. I have other tools that let me tap into creativity or to create a new space that's just for magical working. Now that I'm starting to work with a group, it has crossed my mind that maybe a magical name would be useful to kind of keep my very public like blog and YouTube and my very private personal life in real world, you know, a little bit more separate, but I don't think I'm going to do that. For instance, this comes out sometimes when people friend me on Facebook. I don't accept many friend requests on Facebook because Facebook is the social media platform that is very much just for people who like know me in real life or I have constant regular interaction with because of a project or something like that together. I am very choosy about even the people I know in real life who are on my friend list on Facebook and I'm trying to carve out a little bit more private space to keep my private life more, you know, safe and secure. But as I'm meeting local Druids and some of them have found me through Instagram or YouTube, which is great and we're trying to start this new grove and community. There is this weird blending between like my very public and open and sharing part of my practice and blog and life and the parts that I keep private because I now know those people in real life. So it's an interesting dilemma and that dilemma is kind of what made me think about this magical name process. Obviously a magical name is what it is for you and what you make it. But I do hope that as a community, we can kind of keep in mind that there is a difference between a magical persona and like a craft private working and maybe that isn't necessary for all or most people, but I do think it would be good if we had different verbiage to describe those situations and help people better understand these tools and how they might make their life and their practice more beautiful and connected and secure for what they want to do. This week's sapling shout out goes out to stellar rain dancer, great name. They left a comment on my to a new Druid video. It's saying very nice things that they were going to binge watch me. So thank you. I love it when you guys just want to watch all the videos in a row and if you want to do that, definitely check out my playlist that allows the the fun to continue. You want to be next week's sapling shout out. Leave me a comment below on what you think about magical names. How does it work in your practice? I am curious. Thanks for watching and as always may you find peace in the Sacred Grove.


Hello and welcome to another video it's been a while I'm back something that I've been looking forward to for ages I've had this on my radar for a long time for a good few years actually and it is the Amok hammock the drama I've gone for the ultra light XL version with the winter light XL sleep pad that goes with it Sgold 10 multi tarp that goes with it and also it comes with these two spacer bars you can use a stick but these are perfectly designed for it the Amok are my lightings all over the place shouldn't grumble really but my lightings over all over there's aeroplanes kicking about dogs keep coming from off these paths in this wood because I'm down south and you can't get a moment's respite from human activity down here but we're keeping a breath face we're chipper and we're going to get stuck into it let's go can you even sit you can't even see me is that my light there look dark and shadowy I don't want to do this dark sound there's dogs barking look this is the truth aww cards full check check two check three check four check five check check republic whatever take 572 let's just do this hammock review of this hammock that I've wanted for so long it's a joyous occasion it's the first time I've said it up I want to show you around it look at how individual it is and how cool it is and this is like take 30 it's hard to keep going mate because watch they'll be just a personal just walk past there or a dog will run up and start chewing stuff a plane will go over someone will try and mug me I'll get tazered staying zen I'm staying zen and positive I don't know me I just think where I am down south is not conducive to me hobbies there I've said it it's not it's not there's too many people there's not enough wild space I don't know how you do it I don't know how people who live down here who like to be away from it all do it it's too much claustrophobic mate and that's why and I'm gonna just this is supposed to be a review video but whatever I haven't been very consistent on here I've been missing me weekly uploads on the regular and just not being consistent putting out the things that I want to put out and the one of the reasons is that it's where I'm where I'm living at the moment is just it's not wild enough for me and it's just not inspiring so this side of my life is taking a bit of a back step while I focus on other things so that's it for now I do apologise for that I know I'll do better that's I've already showed you this and I I don't know which but it wants like take 50 have I shown you this which bit have I done an absolute car crash of a review I was like let's do it properly go look testing testing testing testing proper mic on and that camera proper camera out and as well with this big camera went like a dog walks over and then someone comes whose dog it is or whatever to look for the dog and there's me fully grown man with a big old camera being like oh look at this who is this guy I want to start doing a few long distance hikes with a hammock that was my that was my plan with it being winter so you can get a fire going get some trees the normal hammocks like my dd which I've had for years it's the only hammock I've had um or used but it's it's for sleeping on your back so you cocooned in there it's comfy but it forces me to sleep on my back and then sometimes I get night terrors when I'm on my back twice I think I've had it when I've been out in woods and just be like thinking that there's things hovering over me let's get it up and have a look at it because it's got some amazing features it looks pretty cool so let's do that hopefully we won't get attacked by any dogs not going to bother with tarp just yet but if it was raining I would whack the tarp up first to get a bit of shelter you even see me oh what yeah like that for a sniper shot someone with sniper good shot energy levels of god aren't there I've been he's got me tell you what started this review full of the joys of autumn proper api nothing's going to get me down i'm going to really go for it and then when we're on take whatever this is 20 because there's a path just over there with dog walkers and then sometimes like dogs always come over and say hello whatever and then owner comes hello what you do what you up to and I've got to be like hey yes I'm just filming a I do it I'm looking at how much a review of how much they're like look at you like this so feel sorry for that so you want to choose some trees which are like between three and six meters apart I don't know if you can hear that but there's someone just chatting and coughing and spluttering over there I was all full of optimism and it's just taking just just like a relentless amount of people coming and asking me what I'm doing and dogs coming and just chewing stuff that's just he's killing me off mate so many times I've come out to film a video like try and do a wild camp even or just to review whatever and I've just been like uh sack it off I want that feeling of escapism where I'm not around people and I know people who watch my videos want that as well they don't want me to like like this look just leaning up against a tree defeated and I swear all right I'll keep this on and in no time look you can see a load of jackets through there walking and in no time there'll be just some dog will bound up to me and go and I love dogs I'm a dog owner don't get me wrong but when you're trying to showcase oh I'm not even trying to showcase it you just want to see it man as well you're trying to set your amock hammock up and there's a dog chew in it it's not the one and now look what I've done is that this title this title is going to be whatever check out this mint hammock and people are going to go oh nice want a hammock and like that looks really interesting because it's a cool different style of hammock and then there's me leaning up against the tree grumbling they're like oh that cool hammock oh he's got he's got a tick as well next to his name 100 000 subs oh that's good filmmaker at year what's he doing I want he must be up to some real good stuff no mate I'm leaning against a tree contemplating not even doing a video grumbling these are good come on this will hopefully getting sat in this thing will cheer me up oh the bag stays attached to it I like that you just thought I would have watched a few more videos on that's a good feature so you roll up this stuff it's got like a has a little bit of velcro that keeps all your webbing tidy that's nice no no that is nice that's nice everything kept together can you hear that kids shouting at it you know there's a big bunch of kids having a good time but not on my watch and it's only day that's been sunny you see it's a sat day so I can't grumble because everyone needs to be out in woods on a sat day it's been pissing it down for the last few days wow anyway I should have just made a video of me just grumbling called it that I don't even know how to set it up mate I've not even looked out how to set it up oh but it's got the instructions on the actual thing look all the info you need pull buckle through loop it is looking buckle pulled through loop don't break my heart my achy breaky heart I'm so impressed with this already can you see that little there's a little picture of a tree on there which means that that has to face the tree when putting it through here so you go that way that way through simple as that that faces the tree pulls it tight so you can tension it loosen it but when it's against a tree and you pull it's tight that's wonderful that's wonderful I'm feeling that right let's go to the other side and see what go on take you over shall we even though like it's maybe not too clever it doesn't matter does it it doesn't matter we're getting it done where you best suited you're not anywhere are you you're not turd you don't want it too high off the floor if you fall out of it you don't want to be snapping anything do you and also you want to be able to get the idea is to get your tarp above your hammock look here's a dog look watch watch this dog and person no then right so this side the red side I can't do it mate can you hear all noise it's like it it's like I'm on a busy high street putting the little trees on them on the side bits they're like someone's got to appreciate this I appreciate it I love it this is your ridgline your built-in ridgline and we can just tension it really easy by pulling these side bits look at that so this rubberised bit at the sides here is to stop the rainwater if you've got any runoff coming down your trees hitting you your line and going in you don't want it coming in your hammock so it's hitting these rubber bits and then it's just down there and off the next step is to give it some structure so we put our pad in which comes with a repair kit in its own little again attention to detail is brilliant it's got its own little pouch there so that's not going to get lost because oftentimes I just chuck it in and it's gone that's just going to be in there all the time so hopefully won't need it but if you do it's there for you but this is the winter one because I'm planning to do a multi-day hike with this setup and I needed a decent r-value which this gives me so in here you've got your your ultralight pump bag I wonder if Fern wants to come and see see thing I'd like her to come and have a look at it when it's done up just words of encouragement to myself that's all you've got this you demand big old bed like as I say you couldn't well I don't know if I have said actually but as I think I've said is um if you want to keep the cost down because it's quite a pricey little number this with once you get into all the extras and for the record I've bought this myself not paid to say anything good I've had it on me uh my wish list for quite some time and with me living where I live and some of the things that I want to do this is the perfect hammock I was going to take me dd but then I thought let's look for something where I can have a bit of a side sleep and there's a bit more comfortable for spending a long time in it and I was like oh yeah the amok so here we are when you're blowing these air beds up if you just blow from a distance like that it's a little shot of air that's the best thing you can do if you put your head too close and give it that it's not going to work if you have seen some people do this just try and get air in that's like look if you blow from about here the breath your air breath brings in the surrounding air as well so one little and that's all you need it's how you've been you've been all right have you house misses house kids it misses you're going anywhere nice on holiday here look as you can open it up once it once it's finished it traps the air in there this is where it gets exciting for people who give her here because we're going to get some sort of regifer free and structure and what is life without structure guys as he yanks the cord out of his microphone and polnges himself into silence he's probably for the best because nobody wants to listen to me a fully grown man having a mental breakdown while trying to set up a hammock oh some kids mate i'm not i'm not camping i'm not camping i'm just filming a hammock which is a weird thing to say but it's true i'm just filming a new hammock for a it's a long story but um it's true how did we get here guys i'm just filming a hammock i said it out loud to a little kid little 10 year old lad i'm just filming a hammock e look at this right sir look this is the foot end are you having that yeah you are and so this is what i would have normally in my hammock set ups is i would always put like a somewhere or other underneath it so you can get straight out of it stand onto your socks am i just going to get in there like a loon oh we do have a tap i'm not going to put the tap on yet because i want you to see see it in all its glory all right you can use a stick for these but these are just custom built for the job in there and in there and this enables the bug net to stay off here when you fasten it up that's your zipper on there y kk zips by the way so all amazing quality and that's and there's one at the other end come with me hi there i keep having to explain to people that i'm just setting up a hammock don't worry about it i think it's obscure but it's 2023 mate it's the world we're living and in there shedding i've given fern my co-ordered so i might have nimbus coming flying through woods at me anytime soon right let's get so he let's get shoes off because shouldn't really be getting it dangling shoes really this is why i go out of a tit this is what you've tuned in for this will be you ready this is thumbnail this is viral sensation this is everything when i fall out of him break me neck on to the middle of your ridgeline hold on to this strap at the side and you're in that's it that's better oh my god it's so comfy that's nice mate gently swinging the canopy so we've got a storage compartment here we've got a little thing for your water bottle there your phone another little storage compartment here on the other side the bag that it comes in becomes a storage bag again mirrored on this side another little storage pouch there and in this one is your bugnet but when the bugnet's not in there it's a storage net as well so you've got loads of space in here and that is comfort oh that's mega comfort what am i and i'm i'm seven five built like a brick shithouse and i'm still you're good for about seven foot to be honest it's about seven foot longness this is the excel version if you pull on these we can turn this into an armchair look and that is as comfy as i've ever been in the woods i don't care who sees it and who knows it full on armchair amazing amazing right let's get the bugnet on so armchair mode and you can take it back out you want to lie back down flat again you undo these and tighten these like that can you side sleep yes you can side sleep perfectly you can roll around lovely and comfortable you have this little clip unclip that another little clip at the bottom everything is everything is just stored away brilliantly you've got these clips and this brings out your bugnet and let's get that up okay we're away oh really easy you can do that with one hand there you go you are bug free as you can see here bug free plenty of room that's not touching me at all and it's got a little another little pocket on here that's probably to tie it all up when you're not using it when you're using the pockets maybe but it could also be used as a little internal washing line that moves along the ridge line as well put stuff in there again just loads of pocket space it's like nothing i've ever i've ever been in unbelievable jeff and that's the inside so they are bug free completely bug free that all goes quite easily back in there and then that clip up there i love it and there you go Mr Blanc you don't want to be much higher than that really just in case you come a cropper the tarp let's get the tarp up see what that's saying it's nazi i love this as well look again it all feels like great material but inside the bag is a separate pocket which houses your stakes comes with six stakes look at these double stitch reinforced and it's got this thing again this little simple little velcro keeps your guidelines in check i love that carabiner and different coloured cord this one's got brown so you know that's your main ridge line red end and a green end to marry up with the clips that you've got on your hammock and so once you've got your ridge line up these you just pull to tighten couldn't be simpler you'd be a me little dog look that's right in the middle of that here's one of our pegs and then peg it out you having that look look look at her don't you look bonny let's see what the what the camouflage vibes are look if you ignore my cut and you're just behind this tree popping out like that hello that's good camouflage in it excellent plenty of room at either side and at the front so you can put all your stuff underneath your hammock and it'll keep dry all night and it's pretty low profile isn't it nice for stealth camping we'll take this front bit off which is just the three pegs out over the top you can guide the back one out if you want or attach it to the one that you've already got in the ground like that and the same with the side ones they just go perfectly on to the ones that you've already done here's your stargazermode and so that's what I've been inclined to do on a night like that if I knew I was going to get no rain and if it does rain you can get out that just comes over three pegs in and you can scurry back under unbelievable Jeff this is just reignited my love for hammock camping it's so comfy it's very easy to set up everything just feels such high quality now we'll put the weight of everything on screen now and then the overall weight of this kit now there are different options that you can choose I've gone for the winter bed but you can go for a lighter option or if you want to save a bit of money you can use your own bed it's just this one specifically designed for it so that the nozzle the air nozzle comes out of a bit of fabric at the top corner so that when you're in bed you can go and just start putting it down while you're in bed lie on it and let your uh your body weight push the air out tension lines on the top are superb it's be I'm I'm fanboying a little bit because I've just been dealing with same type for so many years and just to have some a little bit different that's made so well I'm very impressed so far very impressed but again if you want to save yourself some money just use your a tap that you've already got or just buy a cheaper tap online and just something that just covers you while you're under it is fine there are different versions there's the drama 5.0 I think it's called I'll put on screen now the difference in weight between that and the ultra light at the reason I chose this setup was because I want to do some long distance hammock camping long distance hiking hammock camping because the armchair I could just sit in the armchair eat me dinner I've got room in there it feels like the inside of a tent almost perfect for side sleeping I've got another one of these exactly the same as my setup unopened brand new if you want to be with a chance of winning that there'll be a raffle there's a link below a
