I just bought the DD underblanket and they fixed the issues where the bungee cords snapped in your video. There's loops on the 4 outside corners of the underblanket now and they have separate bungee cords with mini carabiners.

Steve I love your Motto Leave No Trace But Knowledge. Being an Old Boy Scout. I see so many kids and adults just through things on the ground with no care in the world. Keep up the great video's.

Great video - especially like how you used the original webbing for a sling, makes a lot of sense and think I will give that a go too. Thanks for the video and tips.

Knew to hammocking I bought this hammock with the 4x4 tarp and a Sierra madre under quilt. It’s night and day compared to that DD under quilt. It’s took me a ear now to get myself all set up but I’m ready now to winter hang. Great reviews btw really honest and detailed

Before I went away to Scotland for a week, I found your video when searching for under blankets. However, the way you tie your cord around the tree with the knots to adjust the hammock was amazing!!! I already had carabiners at either end and just used to tie cord around the tree and go from there, but those knots are a cracking idea. I tend to adjust the height after a while of sitting in the hammock, but having knots there, I just had to quickly clip on to the next knot. Simple but amazing tip. Thank you!!!

A superb watch and listen Stephen. I love my DD 3x3 tarp and Frontline hammock. I have looked at all of the under quilt options including homemade but now use my Snugpak Chrysalis Autumn Softie sleeping bag to cocoon my hammock as there is a ventilation hole at the foot end of the bag that enables the hammock to be threaded through bag. This means that when cocooned in the hammock the sleep bag insulation isn't compressed. I have added some elastic cord to the hood of the sleep bag that keeps it in situ and keeps the bag at full length. The downside is that the cocooning of the hammock in this way does restrict being able to sleep on the diagonal to a certain degree and the mosquito net cannot be used which doesn't really bother me in the winter and during summer I carry an alternative lightweight Mozzie net that I can drape around the hammock. Using my sleep bag in this way allows me to also use the bag on the floor in my bivvy bag should I choose to. You have a new subscriber. Happy wandering. Paul :)

Hi guys , just got me a DD hammock with bug net and I love it. Not got a canopy for it yet so would have to wait for a dry night before I camp in it. Just warn people not to let the fly net touch the velcro pads on double layer. Mine caught and I managed to get it apart without damaging the net but I think it could hole it if not careful. Cheers.

One of the best set up videos 👍

I' ve done a few nights in my DD XL Camo version , and your video brings back happy memories. To the uninitiated this doesn't sound right. But trust me , this is a must way of camping in the wild. I also have the under blanket from DD , and various tarps (also camo) . You can create your own comfortable space including sitting area etc . Loads of fun . Thanks Dude

Did research and bought this setup. Being delivered tomorrow. Just found ur channel. Superb. Subbed

I use DD under blanket never had a issue. Love it how you hate boots in hammock but you did it as well lol. good video ;)

Nice review dude

I was searching for a mod for my hammock from the standard webbing so that water wont drop in. This'll do nicely

Great little vid. Can’t wait for the spring.

Hey Steven, great video! I’ve actually just ordered a dd frontline and 3x3 tarp, I’m in Australia(but funnily enough grew up down the road in Middlesbrough)!! The dd under quilts are not available over here so going to get a One Tigris one, pretty cheap! Anyway, got some good tips from you on here, loving the channel! Best of luck mate!

THabks fr the 'little bit of a belly' tip. I have a Guinness tank. Love hammocks

Can't believe this is my cousin. Nice video!

Nice video Steve. I tend to use walking poles for holing the front of the tarp open with elastic guys so i can just kick them down if it rains and keep the tension on the corners.

I am currently looking into a hammock and a tarp. Stumbled onto your video and I just wanted to thank you for all the information! Very thorough! P.S.Also a great lesson in English for you speak really fast time to time.

Just brilliant video to watch. You taking the tapes out of the hammock and swapping for paracord. As other bushcraft erst have been telling me to use whoopie slings. The paracord holds up well I'm 5'9 and 15 stone lol. I'm looking at using my zchec sleeping bag as a under blanket. Thank you very much for uploading.

Very good Steven I bought the same set up on the good advice on your video keep it up mate!

6:32 i've been doing it wrong this entire time! thanks for a great video! i've used this hammock 2 times on weekend long trips and i find it brilliant! , again thanks

Cracking video....I’m just up the road

excellent vid, just bought DD Tarp and Hammock

Hey thanks so much.. invaluable little hot tips, that I have never seen anywhere else.. Not even Dan at DD lol.. Great watch! :)

Nice job exactly how I set my system up. Subbed

i had my rubber slings break too but othervise i love it its warm and easy to use.

Great video well explained thank you 😊 👍

ANOTHER GOOD VID STEVE .....I JUST RECIEVED MINE AND HAD IT OUT THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR A 3 DAY 2 NIGHT . I LOVE IT ! IVE USED SEVERAL HAMMOCKS OVER THE YEARS THAT ARE GREAT BUT THIS DD FRONTLINE STANDS ABOVE .... I DID ADD THE WOOPIE SLING KIT AND THE SNAKE SKIN WHICH MAKES IT OUTSTANDING .... AS FAR AS SIZE , IM 6' 190 LBS US AND HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE FOR LENGHT AND HEAD ROOM WITH ROOM TO SPAIR WITH THE NET HUNG . I LIKE THE NET ZIPS ON BOTH SIDES FOR EASY ACCESS TO MY GEAR IF NEEDED , AS WELL AS HANGING OPEN IF THE NET IS NOT NEEDED . THE VELCRO SLEEVE TO ADD A PAD OR INSULATING MAT / BLANKET IS PERFECT FOR THE COLD CONDITIONS BUT IT ALSO BREATHED VERY WELL IN THE HOT TEXAS CLIMATE THIS WEEKEND , AND IT GETS VERY HOT HERE IN TEXAS , TRIPLE DIGITS FARENHIET AND I FIND IT WILL DO FINE ... THE TIE OFFS INSIDE AT THE TOP I ADDED A LINE OF CORD WITH A TAUGHT HITCH PERFECT FOR HANGING ITEMS , MOSTLY FOR A CHEAP HEADLAMP I USE AS A NIGHT LAMP FOR READING OR JUST SOME VISIBILITY .... AGAIN , ENJOY YOUR VIDS MAN , KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO ......

Great vid matey very fare comments very well put across keep it up 👍 I'm just starting myself 😉

Nice video!

Hi mate great video thanks you for Sharing, I am all better now and I can’t wait to get out now. 👍

lot to learn mate

Great video very informative your doing brilliant with the videos keep it up ATB

Love the set up love all the dd stuff, I just got my first frontline, I use elastic to tie fly net up so when you sit in the hammock the net stretches down without pulling on your ridge line, iv done same as you with the huggers thanks for sharing atb mike

It was very helpful, thank you!

Awesome vid mate! I've already subbed you. Hope to see more of you out camping bud and getting wild!! ATB Stu

Excelente video,saludos Amigos,desde Venezuela

very good video

nice loved the video mate

I'm late to the show, a good few years late to the show, but I've got to say, this is the most detailed "review" I've seen on this setup. I ended up here as I was thinking of buying this set up. Thanks for this. Are you still using this setup or have you found a newer better once? Considering I'm on the market now I might as well ask.

Like it. Nice vid, Stevie and thanks for taking the time. Good setup but does the ‘bug’ net suspension line open up the risk of a rain run-off to the hammock? Perhaps a small twisted shackle or similar to break the continuity like the carabiner does on your main hammock suspension? Cheers.

I have watched a couple videos on this hammock and I love it! Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you spell knowledg without an “e” at the end on purpose?’

Great video, my only thing is nobody ever does these videos when it is blowing a gale and raining sideways. I wonder how hammock camping compares to tents then.

Great video mate a5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi Stevie, judging from your accent we might be neighbours! Any idea if the under blanket will roll up into the snakeskin along with the Frontline hammock? Cheers for a great vid - subscribed :)

subd great vid dd for me then thanks keep them coming helps all newbies like myself cheers

I like Jilly

Brilliant video thank you for the upload. I'm just wondering if I take the tapes out of my frontline hammock. Will/is it possible to use them as tree huggers? Then feed through some whoopie slings? Thank you.

What about using insulation between two layers of hammock ? Would it work better ?

Hi. Great video. I am just about to start hammock camping. Just a question, I'm looking for a lightweight alternative to the under blanket at they seem bulky. Have you ever tried an emergency foil blanket in the gap and would it work?

Hi, thanks for sharing your hammock and tarp build. Please could you send price on the snake hammock please. Thanks Ian

Hi Steve. Great video. I got a frontline at Xmas and have had it out a couple of times. Do you have anymore info on the tree hugger mid you have made? Is it just using the webbing supplied?

on my third and newest one the problem was fixed it has sowed in loops.

I’ve just bought the dd 3x3 mc. Is that how big it is? Wow!

Good vid Steve thanks Same problem with my DD underblanket however I do have a great fix for it (look for "DD underblanket repair" on KZfaq ) Regards Maff

how about keeping ants out, any advice?

Would 4.5 x 3 tarp be better? Stops it being so draughty.

guess you could call it a double D setup :p

Another fine bloke fed up with the EU tax on hotel rooms.

DIY Underblanket ?? Dude...Are those led's in your cap ??

On a broad path like that you may want to check for motorbike tracks... after a branch hitting you in the melon a motorcycle / hammock crash is not only very painful but also extremely embarrassing... Maybe best not to hang across a path in general ... just saying...

как купить?
