Really great video, much better quality than I could ever put together. Just to reiterate what's been said, you really get the most comfort, especially for tall people like me - when you set the frontline with more sag. Nice steep angles coming down higher up the tree. I'm 6'5 and 108kg and learnt the hard way but yeah I use. My frontline more than my 3.2 metre hammock I love it.
Cheers. I have the same setup but didn't notice the taps on The inside off the bug net Now I can have a Internal ridge line I can't believe I didn't see it 🙏🙏🙏 I have 3 metres of 2 mm dyneema cord so Im going to do it now made my day thanks 👍
Could not find a better hammock than DD!😍👍🏻And the underblancket is genious!!No mor CBS(cold butt syndrome). I use flat straps round the tree, carabiner, and two rings i put the webbing the hammock came with. Homemade woopieslings. Works like a clock. Just as easy to adjust the sag as with the woopie. I prefer a good saggy hammock and lies diagonaly in the hammock. Nice and flat and no bananas! Great video of a great product!😉👍🏻
You could look at getting a self-inflating pad/mat as well as an underblanket, especially in the winter - extra warmth and wind protection, and pretty cosy if you go for something like goose down.
Good tip on the internal ridgeline for hanging a light off. I have the same set up but I dont use the tarp diagonally like that and have avoided bungies for years. Better a ridgeline with bankline prussics. Tbh I want my tarp tight so carry some tiny titanium pegs, which weigh nothing.
What cord do you use for your ridgeline? I tried it with paracord once however it wasn't rigid enough. Stuck with the bungees as they're so quick and i dont have to worry about knots. Will revisit the ridgeline line and see if I can get it to work for me.
I also removed the middle 4 shockcords from the underblanket - if you have the frontline hammock you just clip the mini karabiners directly to the loops on the outside of the hammock.
Have you thought of getting a ridgeline on your hammock, bud? It creates a sag for a completely different reason and experience to sleeping end to end. Sleep at about 70 degrees and you'll have a flat lay, like an arm sling I suppose. It also lowers the center of gravity, it looks like you're almost falling out rather precariously if you don't mind me saying. A ridgeline also gives something to hang your things from. A flatter lay is healthy for the back being ergonomic and contrary to wide opinion mainly from saggy south American style hammocks, it's good for the back and acts a lot like a real matress
This is the first hammock I've had and found it more comfortable tight like this. Havent tried one with a ridge line and unsure if would work with this. I've had a few comments about it so will probably try something different for my next hammock. What hammock do you use?
i have a question..if you were to set up this hammock in a same spot but without those additional whopie slings,would a lenght of cord that comes with this hammock originally be enough?
well I just bought a dd jungle hammock plus dd tarp to add some extra cooking area in case of rain and also extra protection so yeah looking forward to testing it fir the first time I have never slept in a hammock and it has been a scary idea as im a heavy side / stomach sleeper. I cant really do back sleeping at all but maybe in a hammock i can learn that but atleast I can sleep on the side which is my perfered way
Nice, enjoy it. I'm sure youll get used to it. From reading others comments it seems a lot prefer more of a sag in the hammock so worth trying different options to see what works for you
My Hennessy Deep Jungle Zip XL done in just over 3 minutes, including installing double bubble pad. Your DD looks very complex and time consuming. p.s. great video
Hi Tommy! Great videos. I am a big fan of outdoors also having a "updated" (breaking systems, fuel line, cleaned/ resetting the carbs,...she's 20 and run great. All through the year)1999 honda 600 hornet (my girl). You should have look at the channel "Simon, a block from the woods". Great guy, great tips, very helpful tips for hammock set up, shelters, cooking etc. Bushcraft. I' m sure you'll love it.
Thanks, glad it helped. From comments it seems im a bit odd with how tight I have my hammock but you'll still be able to try a more slack hang with this set up. I like it cause minimal knots which I was worried about when I started.

If you make your hammock any tighter, it's going to RIP! Try putting a good sag in your hammock! It will be way more comfortable!
You will get back problems
@@JoeZUGOOLA you sleep diagonally so it flattens it out

Will give it a go next time out :)

That's all the information I needed pal thanks! Very informative
Make sure it's level, last think you need is to slide down towards your own feet or get blood rushing to your head. Nice and level.
Thanks for the tip off on the Whoopie slings. They have made my life so much easier. Much quicker to set up now.
Glad to be of help 😎

I have tried the inflatable with the underblanket however it doesn't seem to work well for me. Underblanket on it's own really is the way forward
@@TommyBarnezTV We might have to agree to disagree there but keep up the good work, nice to see you in front of the camera for once
There's rumours spreading around,
In that Texas town...
Good vid marra, Odd to listen to ZZ Top now for some reason 🤘

Just 550 paracord mate. With the trucker's hitch you can get it as taut as you like!
I also removed the middle 4 shockcords from the underblanket - if you have the frontline hammock you just clip the mini karabiners directly to the loops on the outside of the hammock.
Up to the individual I know bit I wouldn't have the hammock that high up well restricted
I will be getting one of these very soon and looking forward to my first wild camping/hammock adventure now I know how comfortable they are!
You'll love it :)
Love the rain tip with paracord ;)
Thanks, I stole it off another youtuber about 5 years ago but can't remember who!
It's called a larkshead what you've done there. But yeah good idea.
Great video, never even considered Hammock camping. I bet it takes up less room on a two wheeled adventure than a two man tent. Thumbs up!
inside the second layer, another Guy could sleep, which makes the Frontline really to a full grown 2 Person Hammock^^

Thanks I've been looking into hennessy more and considering a change. The DD has done me well however nice to try out new gear.
it s all about skill..check dave canterbury setting up dd hammock:)
Different type of vid from you but I like it. Nice one 👍
Cheers mate, yeah I found myself a little apprehensive about popping it up as not my usual topic however keen to have some varied content.
That looks fun!
Great fun 😎

Thanks! Will check it out
So many twists
yes ramblin man T
Ofcourse 🤟
May i ask you how tall you are? I'm 1.95 meters, and i'm afraid these hammocks are a bit on the small side for me.
182, it feels there is some space spare with me, unsure if it will be big enough for you though. Might be worrh dropping DD a message
There's a larger version available. The XLC?
Big G Frontline XL. XLC is a different brand.
Though I'll watched couple more video before I click buy. Nice setup not rushed, seen some looked bit complex tie knots. Yes I'm a newbie .
