Dave, I've watched dozens of your videos over the last couple weeks. I've also started watching bushcrafting videos from some other KZfaqrs, and, while some of them are pretty good overall, I've yet to find anyone else that comes anywhere close to having your level of bushcraft/survival skill as well as the ability to to teach it in a way that both conveys the information properly and keeps the viewer interested. You have a true gift. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Dave, Slept in a hammock in my home as my bed for about 2 years. Best rest ever, I appreciate the fact you left the blooper part in there. Happened to me once when I re-hung the hammock after a camping trip and did not put my toggle in securely. Always wondered what I looked like hitting the deck, did the same thing you did..... laughed at myself for a good minute or two.

got mine but haven't had a chance to really test it out. I love the material and it attaches easily to my metal frame pack so I can haul more for a longer trip in the bush. If I can ever get a chance to go on one.

Dave you are the modern day George Washington Sears and Horace Kephart, only better. Consider this in 1890 the U.S. population was 62,947,714 as of today you have 26,778,004 views and 145,733 subscribers. Through you their lessons have reached a wider audience then they had when they were alive. While you humbly claim to stand on their shoulders ...it is you who have lifted them up for all to see and for that I thank you. Keep up the great work Brother!

Dave! Great video, great product!!! Final revisions, PERFECT!!! REALLY like the end slots, for the spreader bars. Figured out how to fix your "gravitational challenged" conumdrum. Along with other items, I carry two Cold Steel Escrima sticks for personal protection. Although only 32", with the correct knot configuration, they will work! And, as a former Navy Corpsman, stationed with a number of Marine Corps combat units (WHOLE 'another story, LOL!!!), I've carried my share of stretchers. My thought is, heavy duty canvas handles on each side, or a hand hole on either side, allowing the pole to be grasped in. the middle by additional stretcher bearers. Just my thoughts, on an already perfect product!!! I've been looking for a hammock system for over two years now. My search is FINALLY over!!! Keep on keeping on, my brother!!!!!

Dave I think the AT hikers call that type of hammock a bridge hammock. I could see using that for urban stealth camping. Next time you are at a store look at the cart racks that would be IDEAL to tie off on a cart rack for a cool stealth camping location. Surround yourself with baskets and sleep all night. I really like this Dave I have been trying stealth camping and using a ratchet strap is a great tool to turn any site into a sleeping spot. I would call it they hybrid hammock. You are welcome

Awesome piece of kit! Will check your website for one.The canvas is definately better in the heat than nylon, great idea.A similar style was out in the 1980s. We used them in the Malaysian jungle but most were left at the barracks because the nylon was too uncomfortable to sleep on (hot and sweaty).Could I suggest 3 canvas webbing handles down each side which makes it an instant emergency stretcher that 4 to 6 people can manage without having to cut poles for a frame.

What I also like about the bedroll , is that it's heavy material that the "skeeters" can't get you from underneath. In addition, what about adding a length of mosquito netting for insects. Would be hardly any added weight. Love all the videos-very practical.

Hi Dave, very cool hammock set up. You use a wool blanket and i have watched that you said with a good wool blanket you can get down to freezing temps, since you can dbl it up with a queen size. I have a army surplus, like 60/40 or 70/30 not sure and only twin size. so that isnt much better then a summer blanket, and wont be anygood for freezing temps alone eh?

Hahaha nice ending - happened to me once too! When tying of the ropes just wrap around the tree once more and put a the same knot you use for tying laces (dont know the name). Also I have found that I find sleeping in a gathered end hammock more comfortable than a bridge hammock (like you had set it up). In a bridge I had cramped shoulders after a while. I was very surprised by that too. With this design a gathered end is also possible.
