I am here atracted by your beautiful channel seal, showing your pet. I see myself in it, with my dog. Thanks for share your adventures, we can breathe wild freedom, with you! ⛺🐕🌄🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚
I have exactly the same setup on both hammocks. The carabiner whoopie sling system saves time and getting your ass wet, as the carabiners act as a water drip point in heavy down pour where rain finds its way down tree, down the webbing, and finally down the arse crack. What a difference underblanket makes to the system used it down to -7 it's make for a tranquil experience in cold snap before Christmas.
Great vid. I have the frontline but recently purchased a onewind. Both decent hammocks but the onewind is larger and wider. Plenty of room for me and my dog.
I love my DD Frontline hammock. If I had to change out, I would actually consider the Frontline XL because some of its features/capabilities are very attractive.
Lovely to see you both again. Thank you for explaining the hammock systems and how to set up. It's something new to me so I enjoyed learning more. Great channel 👍 I have to mention Poppy 😊 as always she is beautiful. Loved that she seemed to be gathering wood in the background of one shot. She's a good camping mate. Here is to more adventurous for you both ☺️
Good instructional video, Matt. Went camping a couple weeks ago with some mates who both had the DD frontline original. Impressed how comfortable they are and how quickly they set them up. Tempted 🤔👍
Great review Matt 👍. I've been looking at various hammock setups and wrote off the superlight as being too pricey. Watching this has now changed my mind. Thanks for sharing mate. Atb, J 👍.
I have a different brand hammock but the DD tarps are great !!! last year I lent my 4x4 to a friend who brought the wrong size tarp, I ended up using a spare another person had. that DD tarp stood up to the gale force winds we had during that trip !!!! this time I used the DD 3.5x3.5, it works perfectly with my hammock
Class as always mate I’ve been running with the DD travel/bivi hammock been class defs moving into the superlight world now got the superlight tarp s the other day fab bit of kit . Hope all well mate take care
I have an Easthills jungle hammock which I really love but it's classed as a double hammock so although not super heavy, I am in the market for a super light one and I've been looking at the DD one and I think you've convinced me. One of these with the DD 3x3 Tarp and I think is the perfect setup, along with an under quilt as I'm like you, I can't sleep on a mat in a hammock. Thanks for the video, happy camping!
Great video. As a novice hammock camper, I found the advice very useful. I have the dual-purpose bivi version. Looking forward to putting your tips into practice. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Matt, I’ve been looking for a new hammock system and I wasn’t sure what to go for. You’ve help me make my mind up. Now to find some woodland in Somerset! Thanks again
Brilliant vid mate I’ve fancied a hammock for a while but thought they looked complicated to put up. Looks really straight forward after watching this. Cheers Matt. 👍
Thanks Paul, glad you found the video useful mate 🙌🏻 Yeah once you've done it once its really simple to set up and adjust mate. Cheers for watching buddy atvb, Matt 👍🏻
As I don't like whoops I made rope ladder knots with dyneema. This works perfect. FB Kayak I do long-distance walking projects months in a row and always use DD.
Good video, good information in it. I’m looking at getting a hammock and thinking about getting the frontline as it seems to tick all the boxes and a decent price. The tree sling system looks like it’s worth the upgrade. I live in Scotland so that net is a must!!😆
Great vid Matt, still reckon I prefer my frontline XL soooo roomy it's like a suspended tent hahahaha. Looks great though and yeah 100% the hammock condom and whoopie slings were the best swap outs for the DD Hammocks 👍🏽 Ps I was like number 100 😘 feel special now haha 😄
Cheers for this video. Looking for a hammock myself. Been looking at Hennesy, DD and Amazonas primarily. Even Covacure came up in reviews as good budget option. Think I will pass on Hennessy....bit too expensive and the retailer I spoke to in the Netherlands said you cannot get a diagonal lay in the DD (though every reviewer here on RU-vid does lol... confused). Hope I can make a good decision as I am stoked to get into hammock camping!
No problem 😃 but yeah you can definitely get a a diagonal lay in the DD hammocks. I can't comment on the other makes as I've only had a DD and Amok hammocks, but love them both 😃👍🏻
Great video again matt really well explained looking forward to seeing you out again mate all the best marra take care mate stay safe #iwantadoglikepoppy👍🏕️
Great tips there . Looks a good lightweight alternative to some other hammocks. I've got a travel hammock and day camped with it a couple of times . No overnighters yet 🤔 anyway another great vid thanks 👍
When they are both next to each other in their stuff sacks the super light seems a lot smaller(40% smaller maybe)but it doesn’t weigh 40% less.I find it hard to part with double the money to save 200g
@@ADVENTUREISMADE Haha brilliant. I've got a great dane so not sure it'd work as well 😅 that's brilliant thanks for getting back to me. Hope you have a great trip away! Stay safe 👍
I set up my dd FRONTLINE in the woods today. Im only staying overnight so i only brought the bare essentials. Tarp, axe, knife, water, food etc. It started pouring down at 2pm and didn't stop until gone 4pm. Black sky and the odd thunder clap. The rain was torrential. My fire didnt last too long and i had no choice but to spend the afternoon in my hammock. After about an hour i noticed the hood on my sleeping bag felt damp? But i couldn't see any leaks so i thought i must be imagining it. But oncethe rain stopped i noticed that both ends of my hammock were saturated. The rain had run down the suspension cords and soaked into my hammock. The wet patches on both ends travelled about 18" into the hammock. Luckily the material seems to dry very fast. That was after approx 2 hrs of heavy rain. So i dread to tnink what would happen if it rained all night?
I have a custom made Tier Gear Goshawk from Tasmania. Simon made it to carry my 145kg (160kg at the time). I was looking at the DD Traveller/Bivi as a cheaper alternative for my stealth camping trips in case I have to pack in a hurry or even leave it behind. But... it says it is only for people up to6'5" and 125kg. I'm 6'1" but as said 20 kgs heavier. Would it hold me? I've never seen DD gear but assume it to be quality. What's your opinion as someone with years of DD hammock experience?
How well does the frontline stuff with the protective sleeve? I just bought my first hammock and I have the same frontline as you have. I thought it came with the sleeve but I just opened it up about 15 minutes ago.
Hello good review thanks 👍 Interested in the light weight version. Do you think it would be best to go for the original double skinned for winter camping or would it not make much difference?
Cheers Rob, I don't think it would make that much difference tbh. The only good thing about the double skin, is that if you use an air mat it stops it moving around 👍🏻
Cracking video. You should check out @sebcam He has run across the USA and slept entirely in a hammock! You might both have some great tips for each other. Hammocking has certainly opened my eyes as to why it's better than a tent!
@@ADVENTUREISMADE the DD frontline XL plus jura 2 sleeping bag, snugpak midi matt, underquilt and sleeve all.comes to 3.8kg Thats mental my tent alone weighs that 😚👌✅️
@@ADVENTUREISMADE proper mate i cant believe it im always carrying overweight and it annoys me so much but this is awesome like massive game changer We are going on a big 7 day ruck hoping to cover up to 30 miles a day and this is perfect Thank you so much
P D Thanks. I just looked into that. Not sure what it will be in Aussie dollars for what I want, or how much shipping will be. In any case, what I want is out of stock so I'm now on their email list.
