I have a DD hammock, but I haven't used it in anger, more as a seat! I'm guessing it's not waterproof at all and you'd need a tarp.
Which hammock do you have

It is more important it breathes than it is waterproof, the best bet would be to use a goretex bivi bag. It is basically a waterproof sleeping bag cover, but you will still need a tarp, it covers your head and gives you a rain free area too for cooking etc.leon-b said:
Bam, do you have any problems with it tangling? I have a cheap normal hammock that has cord at the ends and they are a nightmare to untangle every time I use it.bambodoggy said:For any that are interested, this is my "side on" hammock.....
Not sure who the ugly mug on it is though.....5...6...2....lol
Cheers,

No Mate, not at all... I'm pretty carefull about how I fold it though lol I follow the maker's instructions to the letter and so far it's been fine. I've got a normal one with the same sort of strings and that does take a bit more looking after though so maybe it's this design that helps.
It's great to set up facing a nice view too

i have a hennessey hammock a-sym exped,
has it's down sides but i'm very happy with mine.
i have even made a "down" filled underquilt for it!
the other hammock i use is the "SAS" hammock/stretcher, because of it's dual purpose nature.
not as comfy by a long way but another option and alot cheeper, i got mine 2nd hand from Hoopers in Norwich for £15!
here the hammock is set up as an "A" frame pole bed(which takes time)
theres a thread on it.
the side of the net is not well aligned in this photo.
