hammocks

My Jungle Hammock arrived this morning. I was told that Tom Claytors' customer service was good, but I only ordered last Sunday! Amazing service. Now, to the point. I want a mat really rather than the underblanket idea, as the hammock is double layered, and can be used as a bivvy if...

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys could advice me on a small issue... well not so small as you will so find out. I want to get a hammock as they look so much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground, however i am about 24 stone, i emailed the DD guys to ask what there hammock can...

Hello, I have been thinking about Dyneema for hammocks, problem is that I havn't used it much before and would like some other opinions aswell.

Hi Everyone, I'm off to Venezuela next month and hope to spend some time in the Amazon, and am trying to decide what hammock and mozzie net to buy. If anyone can give me some feedback on what they've used then I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm considering using either a Nomad Hammock...

Is anyone aware whether Clark Hammocks sell to the UK directly, or do you have to go through a distributor?

Hey guys n' gals, Just a quick one for you, in the local spot which we tend to visit for at least a night every week perfect set up for 3 hammocks, however, I usually go with the OH and my mate, now his OH is interested in coming down but we have a lack of trees. I was wondering if any of you...

I love my DD hammock, but would like to get something of a better quality. What do people consider to be the bees knees when it comes to hammocks ? Ive looked at Hennesy, and they seem to be about the best, but ive just found out about Clark Hammocks. Does anybody know of where i can get...

OK hoping to get one of these hammocks for my b'day but as it will be my first hammock which one do I go for???? Frontline. Camping. Thanks for your time.

Hi folks, Quite a while ago I did a tutorial on how to set up and take down a tarp and hammock, originally at the request of Ronnie Sunshines. The sequence ended up being rather more in depth than they anticipated. In a couple of recent threads I used some of the images from the sequence to...

Have recently bought a DD Travel Hammock and was about to carry out the Krab mod, detailed in Chainsaws excellent Blog of March 2008. I chickened out on two counts. Somewhere I’ve read that 30cm, is the recommended length for the loops through the end channels of the hammock. Utilizing...

I'm interested in trying hammock camping. I already own a DD Travel Hammock with mossie net and an ex-military basha. Should I go the underblanket and quilt route or use an existing sleeping bag? I have an ex-military bag which is rated below 0 degree C. I have had a look at...

I've got a DD travel. The 'tapes' are attached to the hammock. Does that mean water ingress or will a 'drip string' solve that? Or should i cut off the tape and have a 'krab' link between the hammock and tapes that go around the tree? Tom.

Q: Why do you need an underblanket when in a hammock? A: Because you'll get cold if you don't have one... Seriously though, the conductivity of air is tiny compared to the the ground. Is it convection (wind) that chills the bottom of the hammock?

I have known two people who for one reason or another have had the smaller diameter Dyneema suspension cords on the light weight Hennessey hammock wear through. I myself have had two ridge lines snap when someone else was putting up my hammock (don't ask :rolleyes: :lmao: ) Anyway, having...

Hi, Has anyone any experience with the DD scout hammock ? I'm really keen to try out a hammock but a little reluctant to shell out £40 for something that I might not like, so the scout version looks ok and for £14 not a bad price. I'm 5' 10" and 13 stone will it be too small / cramped...

Herro all! This summer I will be going on a week long trip, and was thinking about maybe using a hammock on the trip, but am not sure if it will be right for me. I will be going on a 2 day trip, in the same area, just to get everything sorted out and I will be able to see if there will be...
