    DD camping hammock

    Frontline or Camping DD Hammock??

    Certainly anything BUT nonsense. There are many threads and reviews floating around about the condensation issues with the Travel version. As already mentioned - it uses fully waterproof material and so is therefore NOT breathable. Reckon I'll just have to buy the Frontline version and the...

    Frontline or Camping DD Hammock??

    Cheers bud - deciding whether or not to trade in & treat myself to a Frontline - but if an underquilt solved the issue I’d have gone for one of those instead! I’ve not needed to go to ground yet but if I do I normally carry a spare tarp/groundsheet anyway!

    DD camping hammock

    You'll find the DD hammocks are NOT designed to be set-up using the 30 degree angle scenario. These hammocks are designed to be set-up flat and fairly tight...not too tight though...which you seem to have done in your pictures. This also means you shouldn't need to lie on the diagonal to lie...

    Frontline or Camping DD Hammock??

    Hi there everyone, wish I'd seen this thread before buying my Travel Hammock! I must be one of those sleepers...a heavy, sweaty, breathing type! I've used my hammock several times now and always wake up with the underside of my sleeping being wet (or whatever I'm wearing if used as a top...

    Help send a North East lad to the Arctic!

    Thanks for your vote’s guys, it really is appreciated. To answer a few questions; I'm not saying I'm any more deserving than other applicants and best of British to anyone else applying. All I can say is that I've dreamt about this sort of experience for as long as I can remember. I have...

    Help send a North East lad to the Arctic!

    Hiya, I'm afraid not :( When I first started my application I got the impression people didn't need Facebook to vote...just to apply. However, it appears that you can only vote if you have a Facebook profile. The 'access' issue is so that Fjallraven can prevent cheating by allowing their...
