Thank you for watching George. I really appreciate it.

You want to have the tarp about 6 inches past and over the knot or hardware that is connected to the continuous loops on the hammock. Even though the suspension is exposed in the rain. Water will run down the suspension. Hit the Knot or hardware. Which will act as a water brake. And drip down to the ground. Not the other end of the suspension. If your suspension is exposed with no water brake. Then you just tie a knot with part of the cordage dangling down on to your suspension that is under the tarp. The water will then travel down the Tree Straps. Hit the water brake the drip down the end of the loose cordage on the knot. In stead of the susupension. I hope this helps Mountain Walker49.

Thank you for watching and your comment William. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for watching and your comment Jon in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, The mill. I really appreciate it.

I believe the best light weight hammock is the Dream Hammock Darien. Depending on the size you get. ( which you can get a custom fit ). The average weight would be under 16 oz. (453 grams ). I will be doing a review on that hammock in a couple of weeks.

Good choice. One of my most comfortable hammock. Thank you Davidjdriver for watching. I really appreciate it.

Your going to make my head explode. Thank you for watching James. i really appreciate it.

The only Negative that I can find with that hammock . Is that my wife is always yelling at me to get out of it, and get to work. Thank you Northern Fog for watching.

@@AdventureswiththeMarineMy wife asked to get out of the hammock for the first time today 😄. I set it up for a quick test and it is super comfortable, if I has stayed in it any longer I probably would have spent the night.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine that is the plan, Canada day long weekend! (Canada day is July 1st, the proper way to celebrate is by mixing nature with beer)

That is a great hammock Tuck. Beware! Once you get in . You may never want to get out.

I have the DH raven Double layer in 1.6. Hyper D. I love it to sleep in.. I use a pad in beteen the layers.

Thanks for sharing! You have a good system that seems to work well for you. If you are looking for a light hammock and don't mind a Partial bug net. Check out the Dutchware Gear Half Wit hammock. It only weighs 10 ounces. Happy Thanks Giving Daniel.

Not sure what a Ridgeline has to do with using a bag vs a quilt?

I would call them and tell them what happen so they can make it right. We all make mistakes ( and I had my share ). So please give them a call ( 717-947-7849 ). And please let me know the outcome.

rick s Thanks, I was considering a Hennessy. I use a pad for bottom for under insulation. Thanks

Thank you rick and George for watching and sharing that.

The continuous loop is what you connect the hammock to the suspension. You definitely have to have them. And they do not come with the hammock anymore. So you have to order them. For the past few years. I have been using the Whoopie Slings. (which are very light, packable and strong ) Bit now I have been using that Superior Hammock cinch buckles lately. ( which are heavier and more bulk ). But I am going to stay with them for now. So with that being said. I would recommend those. I did a video on them last year. So check it out. Thank you for watching Durn. I really appreciate it.

I thought about taking up sewing and buying a sewing machine. But I was afraid of being a hammock making addict. I believe that hammocks are like clothes. One size dose not fit all. Different materials feel and stretch different from one another. I would like to get all the hammock companies together and take among each other of these things. You are right. Randy from dream hammock is a head of the game. But there is more that can be done. And please don't think that I am trying to be an expert. I just love hammocks. Thank you for sharing that Sean. I really appreciate it.

I hope to see you and the wife on the trail. We will have Runner make us a big fire to chat by.

That is the hammock that I always want to grab. When I go on trips. I have so many hammocks. And the wide 11ft. netless is my favorite. I now find myself also grabbing those Superior Hammock suspension. Thank you P Arnold-Mora for always watching. I always appreciate it.

I highly recommend getting a under quilt. You can use a sleeping bag as a top quilt until you you get a top quilt. I really like Hammock Gear quilts. Thank you for watching Colleen. I really appreciate it.

You can get tabs or clips sewn on the side to stake it out. But I have never stake this hammock down. Other, I have. I have been in some high winds with this hammock. You would have to sew in some openings on the side of the bug net or weather sock, for it to work. But with a tarp pitched low. It would block the wind. But I do have to say. This wide 11ft. netless hammock is my favorite. Thank you for watching mudbone.

Nothing like a 11ft. wide.

For many years I have been using a Woopie Sling with a Whoopie hook from Dutchware Gear on the hammock end. On the other end a 5 or 5ft. tree hugger. With a dutch clip, to secure around the tree. But lately, I have been using the suspension that I did a video on last month. It is from Superior Hammock. I believe it is the easiest cinch buckle to use. I definitely would recommend it. Thank you for watching Ronald.

Backpacking With a Hammock This morning I ordered the DW hammock you recommended with the summer sock and the Beetle Buckle suspension. I gave you a mention 👍

Thank you sir. I really appreciate it.

Please don't wrong. I am not trying to bash any company. I only want to help people and tell them the truth. The reason why I do not recommend the Ticket To The Moon hammocks for hiking or camping. ( If you are just going to use them for hanging at parks. Then that is a different story ) A good hammock is made of one piece of fabric. Not two or more. What makes a hammock so great is that it conforms to your body with the right amount of stretch, so there are no pressure points. With the different color fabrics sewn in. It will take away that stretch. The reason they put different color fabric in the hammock is for looks to boost their sales. Plus, when you lie on where the fabrics are sewn together. You now have a pressure point that may leave a mark. I like to always recommend hammock companies that make hammocks that fits you. One size do not fit all. ( just like clothing ). But I do have say that any hammock is better than no hammock. Use and enjoy the hammock that you have now. I hope that helped. Not not sound too judgmental. Thank you for watching Athaphian.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine That sounds very plausible indeed. Thanks for the in depth reply. I use my TTTM hammock purely for day camping around the campsite (normally I camp with a tent), recently I upgraded to a Warbonnet Eldorado which I hope to try out overnight soon. We have two TTTM hammocks and the one I use the most often is actually a 1 piece hammock, its the single person variant which does not have sewn in colors. It is pretty comfortable, but the absense of a bugnet make it a bit useless during the night over here. Thanks again! Keep making those awesome videos.

@@athaphian a bug net in the summer months are a must. Shug uses the Eldorado. And loves it. I believe you will too.

Dutch and the gang are really good people. You just order one, if not, my favorite hammock. The only Con is. Your never going to want get out of it.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine I may have mislead you. I ordered the Complete Chameleon Hammock Package w/ a Mt. Washington under-quilt. They are fantastic people to deal with. I also upgraded my ridgeline to Amsteel. My 1st hammock and I’m looking forward to receiving it possibly next week.

You have a great hammock for any season and for any situation. Please let me know what you think after taking it out for a test run.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Will do. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for watching sherief Kamal.

This hammock would be a good up grade. It would be a great to hang it over looking the Missouri River. To wake up to a view like that. Life doesn't get any better.

Thanks will look into this seriously.

I got the 11’ wide. I now know what a flat lay feels like. Thanks for your advice. My ENO extra light bug net didn’t work, so getting a larger one.

I would go with the 12ft. But that means you will need a 12ft. tarp if you are going to use it for camping. Thank you for watching Icecat21. I really appreciate it.

I love the Black Bird with it's shelf to store gear. It is a great hammock. But if I where you. I would buy either 11ft. netless or the wide 11ft. netless ( with the notty mods and amsteel ridgeline ). Depending on how tall you are. First you start out just kicking back in it. Then take a nap in it. Then sleep over night in your backyard to make sure it is going to work for you. If it dose , then buy the bug net. The wide would cost the most with the bug net and the options for 139.00. I have many hammocks. And that is the one I always want to grab to take on a trip. If I am going to take a nap in the backyard. That is the hammock I am going to take a snooze in.

If I were you, I'd find someone with an Amok Draumr and try that out. It's expensive, but once you try one you'll know it's a one and done solution. I have one, and it's better than my bed at home. If I were single it would BE my bed. It can also be set up on the ground with a ground sheet and a couple poles or hiking sticks, or hang treeless with the Tensa set-up.

If you live in a buggy area, then I would recommend the Hennessy Hammocks, like the Jungle expedition. Their company has full hammock, bug net, suspension, tarp and snakeskins all together for a lot less than piecing it together. I have the Safari XXL with bottom entry and also the Jungle XXL zip model, both with the large Hexagon tarp. The hammocks have lots of extra details, asymmetrical designs, guy lines, shock cords, mitten hooks and ridge line organizer.

The hammock I would buy would be the Dream Hammock Sparrow. I love the Superior Gear straps. If you hike a lot. And your feet don't always get cold. I would highly recommend a 3/4 length 0° Phoenix to go with the 15° top quilt.

Adventures with the Marine I had a funny feeling you would say that. Thanks

Adventures with the Marine I’ve only had one experience sleeping in a hammock, so my knowledge is extremely limited. I’d think the 0* 3/4 UQ would be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. While researching an UQ for my Chameleon, I saw I could get a SG hammock with an integrated UQ for the same price and less weight. Then I was worried about the width. Thanks again.

I just picked up the 12’ version of this hammock and ordered a Trailheads 0* long wide 1000fill UQ. Thanks for all of your reviews.

Dutch is the Mad Scientist of Hammocking.

NylonD is smoother in texture and has a little more stretch than Hexon, which feels more like cotton. Hexon is probably a little stronger. You can't go wrong with either one.

If the bug net is not sealed around the bottom of the hammock. They will get in. And that always bugged me. Thank you Miloswanson for watching. I really appreciate it.

The thickness of the material used on all of my hammocks is 1.6. And that has never been a problem. Not one bite. Thank you for watching cougermeat. I really appreciate it.

That is the Dream Hammock Darien. A great hammock. Thank you Simon Baillar Simon Baillar for watching. I really appreciate it.

Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. Just put in the comment section that you want the ridgeline made of amsteel. I am going to call him to ask why he does not have it on his website. He did before. Thank you for watching Ryan.

If you are an ultralight hiker. And your under 200 lbs. ( I am 225 lbs and there was a lot of stretch ) and you are all about keeping that pack weight down. Then you should get it. But if you are not. Get it in Hexon. The Netless is a great hammock. I have the Wide for my height and weight. It is good to hear from you aikirunner.

Dark Olive Joey. It is a great color.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Thanks for your response! Indeed nice color 😁

Thank you for watching all of my videos Millennial Hmong. I really do appreciate it.

Nothing like finding good deals. Thank you for watching Rafal Zak. I really appreciate it.

Rafał Żak which hammock are you referring to?

Your probably right Remy.

The Chameleon is a great hammock. But if there is no bugs. For me .The Netless is a little more comfortable, with the notty mods. That is the hammock that I always want to grab when I am heading out on trip.

I am running out of trails in Minnesota. I will have to check it out. Thank you sir.

Always get what works for you. Thank you for watching Espen Karlsen. I really appreciate it.

Agree. I have a Draumr and love, love, love it! The first time I tried it out, I planned to just lay back for a sec, and then woke up an hr later, hahaha. The Amok brotherhood continues to grow.

@@norsefalconer It wasn't until the second night that I fully understood how to adjust it for "my" perfect sleep. I use the same insulated pad in the Draumr and to sleep on flat surfaces, always nice to have options when there is no place to hang a hammock.

@@brianbassett4379 I agree, options are good to have. The Amok folks posted an update video not long ago, and spoke about a guy on their blog (or forum, not sure which) that does a ground set-up using hiking poles. I'm sure there is a ground sheet used as well. Interesting, but, I went hammock bc I don't like ground sleeping, so not pursuing that one. However, I am contemplating getting a suspension pole system from Tensa for no tree, and no tree strapping allowed, situations.

@@norsefalconer With a good pad you can be just as comfortable laying on a hard surface... the ground or even a picnic table. I think most people try to over inflate their air mattresses and thin light-weight tubular cell pads aren't that great. I bike tour and love to have back-ups and options for all aspects of camping and riding. - bike pics: prior to Oct 2019 photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN67sUw0ykU-Mg5gLsOw9vF8kBMEM5cGCgCNmLT_j72h9iu5fKYFFVbLJ2Z415Umw?key=LUZqdEl1d3RjNV9id0ZvTEFickhITnBwWFZrU3hR

@@brianbassett4379 Wow! THAT is a super nice rig! You obviously put in a lot of time, thought (and $) to get it right. I especially like the trailer with the "roof rack," SWEET! The best part is that you use it. I'm not that motivated, so I motorcycle camp, hahaha. I do need to take more pictures though. Thanks for sharing yours! Anyway... Yeah, no, I have a super nice pad (Exped Megamat), and I'm certain it'd be comfy just about anywhere. I've just found that I don't like the vulnerability of being on the ground, in, or out, of a tent or tarp. Sure, it's largely unfounded, but we're all a little broken in some manner. Hammocks were my answer. I'm thankful, because I love being out in nature. Hardly anything more refreshing for my soul than a crisp woodland morning.
