"Don't use sharp objects when opening a Hammock." Super good advice! Great review, thanks for posting =-)

Awesome review!

Great hammock! Love the fabric you chose. That green top is awesome.

@HikeLife 7 лет назад

Tim Watson love your videos! Your rain dripline video saved me before a very wet hike. Ty for everything.

@TimWatsonOutdoors 7 лет назад

Hike Trout thanks man, I appreciate it! Glad it was useful.

@Waldlaeufer70 6 лет назад

Look at 06:06: You shouldn't have such an angle in the webbing in the Dutch Clip. You almost double the stress on the clip like that. Take it to the other side of the tree and let the webbing go through the clip as directly as possible.

@HikeLife 6 лет назад

Waldläufer70 yes I have since then hung it correctly. Ty for the advise

Awesome looking hammock, man! I love Dream Hammock. There's nothing else like 'em!

Thank for sharing. I’m in the decision process of pulling the trigger on a Sparrow. Being new to hammock camping it’s hard enough but what making it even harder is all the talk (from you and others) about the customization of this hammock. To be honest I can’t see me saying, “Wow, I wish I got the blue accent stitching instead of the green.” It’s seems like its an important feature for many of you. Hey, whatever floats your boat man. It’s all good. I would just like to get a hammock that’s comfortable, durable and easy to hang. That alone is still not an easy choice with all the options.

@HikeLife 4 года назад

Mike JW totally! Also look at dutchware chameleon and hammock gear hammocks. This one is very pricy. You may want to check out my other video about this hammock and how they handled the situation when it ripped. Ty for subscribing to HikeLife. Many more videos to come my friend. 🌄🏕

@chrisp.43 6 лет назад

Cool to see another excited Dream Hammock recipient. Funny thing, my Sparrow was order 5521 :)

@HikeLife 6 лет назад

Chris P. Yeah man! I watched your hammock on the Order Status. It took forever to get here, but well worth the wait! That’s too funny.

It funny you had all the same hammocks as me before I order this lol

@paulhoy 5 лет назад

Nice review...ordered mine a bit ago....can't wait to use it.

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Paul Hoy I actually just got mine back from them for a repair. Literally the mail man dropped it off. Did you order 11ft?

@paulhoy 5 лет назад

@@HikeLife Yup, ordered the 11ft. Won't get it for another 2 months, so I continue to use my Hennessy. You've had yours for some time...still recommend it?

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

I’ve had the Dream Hammock for about 2 years now. I def would have changed mine from a 10ft to 11ft but yes I love it still, it has gone everywhere with me. Although It is pricey and now there’re a lot of other options out there.

@steves3760 5 лет назад

@@HikeLife I have a 3 inch almost through scuff in my DH hammock. Randy (Papa Smurf) told me how to fix it. He sent me some of the same material as my hammock body is, suggested to use Mc Netts seam grip, cut the fabric, melt the edges to stop the fray and glue it together on both sides.

@justingilpin 5 лет назад

Dude i love your hammock! I think it's time for me to design one as my trunks skeeter beater of 7 years just bite the dust.

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Justin Gilpin and sorry you lost your hiking buddy of 7 years. It’s hard to get new gear when you have something you trust.

@justingilpin 5 лет назад

Yea you're right. I'm actually working on building my custom hammock now with these guys. Been all over the internet looking for the perfect hammock. Doesn't get better than custom designing it including width for a tall guy like me. New hiking buddy coming soon

@steves3760 5 лет назад

I have the Sparrow model dark olive with woodland camo over cover and woodland net. 66" wide. I just ordered one in OutdoorINK fallen branches dark green, body, cover and net. Double layer with a 1.7 oz olive drab inner layer. I'm shooting for the one with the most tents, hammocks and flashlights when I expire wins? Great video. I love my DH hammocks!

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

steve s. Haha yes! I have quite a hammock collection going on myself. Ty for watching, please subscribe for more videos

@Quinns_Cars 5 лет назад

Great video!!! Your showing every little thing which was what I was looking for!!! One thing I'm confused about tho.. does the overcover keep water out? Confused about what it does... just trap heat? Added bug protection?

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Quinn's Cars no the cover does not keep water out. It is designed for cold weather warmth in the hammock.

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Quinn's Cars ty for the compliment. I have several other videos you may like. Please be sure to click that sub button for future reviews

@uncatila 5 лет назад

I know nothing about hamocks . I feel as if I should just get one like yours. I got a one lbe eagles nest as well. but this is quite good. I guess I should forget about using a mat.and doubling the bottom.

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Patrick Fealy thank you for commenting. I like this hammock a lot. There are others out there with bug nets. That is the true advantage having protection from the elements. I use an under quilt not a pad, but to each own. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@uncatila 5 лет назад

@@HikeLife where do you get that dinema chord you had in your hands are those the woopi things. I'm a little fogy on that. I don't wish to buy heavy straps.

@dudewasguccibro4404 4 года назад

Hey man thanks for the great review . Sorry if you mentioned already but can you remind me what is the width of your hammock?

@HikeLife 4 года назад

Dudewasguccibro ok on the website it says as wide as possible. No actual dimensions. But I think it is around 70 inches

@HikeLife 4 года назад

Dudewasguccibro and mine is 10ft although I wish I went for the 11ft or even 12 if they offer it. You get a much better lye with a longer hammock

@dudewasguccibro4404 4 года назад

@@HikeLife thank you !

@HikeLife 4 года назад

Dudewasguccibro you’re very welcome

@uncatila 5 лет назад

that's great. i like the top. why didn't you use the camo on the bottom?

@steves3760 5 лет назад

Some patterns aren't available for weight, length and width. Go to Dream Hammock and check my order 7767. I am 5' 11 at 240. My 1.7 oz MTN? Fabric is rated for 350 lbs and is 66" wide. Most fabric is rated for around 250-275. My new hammock, order #8827 is a double layer that should be about 58" wide but because it's a double layer I didn't need a single layer strength. I hope this helps.

@HikeLife 4 года назад

I liked the grey bottom because I wanted to change the bug net out for different occasions. I never got around to ordering those but...

@Bikepacking 7 лет назад

like to see the size of the hammock compacted and ready to be packed... How small does it go?

@HikeLife 7 лет назад

Solo Bikepacker hey buddy, I'm confused. What is wiefgt? I think you mean weight, but I'm still confused. Whatcha sayin?

@MiguelRuiz-kp3dd 6 лет назад

Hike Trout I think apart from the weight, he would like to see the size of the hammock compacted and ready to be packed... How small does it go?

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

Did I not reply to this? The compact size is about the size of a can of monster energy drink.

@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394 5 лет назад

Great video can you tell me how much money everything came to please I really like this

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj I remember it being $320. Which is a lot. Also new info the hammock bottom ripped and thru are charging me $50 for replacement. Just an FYI. I bought a less fancy hammock with similar features on fb. Cedar ridge is the cottage co

@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394 5 лет назад

@@HikeLife thank you so much I new to the hiking world and I am on a fixed income and don't have a lot of money but hiking and camping saved my life literally if it wasn't for hiking and camping I would be dead or in jail I can't wait to see the review of the new hammock and I will try and find them

@HikeLife 5 лет назад

ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj man that is incredible. Hiking has helped me thru so many tough situations in my life. If you’ve watched my videos you may know one in particular I’m speaking about. Keeping watching I’ve got many more videos of inspiration, gear reviews and more to come

@mikejw58 3 года назад

so your hammock would be a called a left lay, correct?

@HikeLife 3 года назад

@SteveBricknell40312 4 года назад

Do you still love your sparrow?

@HikeLife 4 года назад

sbricknell40312 thats a great question and the quick answer is yes. Although it ripped with in the first year. I made a video about it. After much back and fourth the manufacturers fixed it. But I would recommend a Dutchware Chamaeleon because dutchware backs their products no questions asked. They also have all the same features. This is of course my point of view. FYI I just released a new video series today a new video every day for 7 days. Please check it out

@alessandroandrico100 6 лет назад

Hi, how do you modify the lenght of your ridge line?

@HikeLife 6 лет назад

alessandroandrico100 are you asking how to modify on there website? Or while hanging it?

@alessandroandrico100 6 лет назад

Hike Life at 11:00 you say you are going to loose a little your ridge line. My question is how do you loose it. thanks

@HikeLife 6 лет назад

alessandroandrico100 oh gotcha, so to loosen the ridge line you’ll need to raise your tree straps up the tree higher. Then loosen the tension on your Whoopie slings or straps attached to the hammock. You want the hammock to hang down at a 30 degree angle. Does that help? Let me know if you have any more questions. I demo this in my recent red river gorge group video Ep3

@alessandroandrico100 6 лет назад

Hike Life yes, understood. Thank you for your kind reply

@justingilpin 5 лет назад

I modded my hammock with a customization ridge line using amsteal. It allowed me to create the proper tension every time without having to adjust the slings or straps. I don't think any mainstream hammock developers have it, but I could be wrong.

@petrov495 5 лет назад

Fun video! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Came to visit your channel as I am looking for a hammock myself. I see that this vid is already 2 years old, so will check out the rest of your video's. But Did I see a very small hole or stretched part in the bug net? at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kciPkwn8fLM.html. Pauze it at 15:37. To your left focus on the big tree, half way up there is a dark spot. I saw that and I was like, Oh shit...I hope not! Hope its just a video glitch or something. The leaves camo on the bug net is really good. Someday I have my own custum made hammock...one day...
