dd hammocks ?

[selfbow]

Hi all
Im thinking of getting myself a hammock from DD i like the look of the travil one that can be used as a bivi. Im new to the bushcraft world so would this be a good one to get ?

thank you all

You won't go far wrong with the dd travel. I've been a happy travel owner for a few years and the ability to use it on the ground sets it apart from most. Its not made from breathable fabric however, so doesn't compare with a goretex bivi-you will sweat and get clammy inside, an emergency/occasional option only. I use it as a bug bivi under my tarp when I go to ground and use the waterproof base layers as a groundsheet-it works much much better used like this. It will also double as a survival bag if needed.

They are fantastic. The only time I wont use one anymore is in the winter as I find it too cold and don't want to go to the lengths of buying/making an underblanket. It does not get better then lying in the hammock watching the fire burn while you sip on a hip flask of rum.

Love mine. Modified with some karabiners to help with any water running down the lines. The double layer with Velcro to slip in my 3/4 length Thermarest is great. The only thing i wasn't a huge fan of was the thickness of the cord i bought from them. But that was my fault being a newbie. Turns out you don't need 6mm for your top line!
Just bought an underquilt from Unsponsored, so in a way i'm glad the weather has just taken a turn for the worse
Just for info, im about 90kg and 6ft and theres plenty of room for me, and going from some of the advice i got before i bought mine, it'll handle someone bigger than me.

+1 here for the Travel model. Get the snakeskin when you order the hammock, excellent when packing away the hammock.

Well now I'm really confused as I've just googled FTW and got 3 definitions. Being a biker I'm going with number 2.
