Best hammock all around ?

- If you are just starting out. Or you are looking at getting a hammock for backpacking, camping. Or just for lounging at the park. Or just to take a nap in the backyard. Check out this video to see what I believe is one of the best all around hammock available today.
HAMMOCK: Dutchware Gear 11f. Netlees and the Wide 11ft. Netless ( dutchwaregear.com )
BUGNET: Bottom entry bugnet ( www.dutchwareg... )
ADJUSTABLE STRUCTURAL RIDGELINES: UCR or Whoopie Sling ( www.duchwarege... )
This video convinced me to go with an 11' netless extra wide. Thanks for the recommendation, its an amazing piece of kit and I love mine. I went with the beetle buckles and straps suspension system with a whoopie sling structural ridgeline and the dual knotty mod. It fits perfect and I sleep like a 6'2" 230lb baby.
I believe that you have one of the greatest and most comfortable hammock. Thank you for watching Darkmind55. I really appreciate it.
I always look forward to seeing a new video from "The Marine" even when I think I've got Hammock Camping down to a fine art, I'll see something new or learn a new trick, the little nets hanging from the Ridgeline was a new one for me, I keep several different sizes & lengths of "Prussic Lines" on a Carabiner to hang everything within reach while I'm laying in my hammock at night 👍🏻 Keep Up The Great Videos ✌🏼️🇺🇸
Thank you sir. I really appreciate it.
I have many cottage brand hammocks, including sparrow and a 12ft chameleon. My favorite is my new nettles 12 ft dutchware hammock. It just works!
It is nice to have options. Thank you Gregstanley for watching. Much appreciated!
Because of this video, I purchased a "Thru-Hiker" 11 foot hammock with a bug net. Came with the ridgeline already on it, which was nice. Very happy with it so far!
Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hear some of your adventures Michael. Thanks for watching.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine I'll be doing a lot of moto camping this summer and creating video content for my TH-cam channel. I will message you when I get some vids up
Looking forward to it.
Thank you Marine. You explained and teach so well. Learning a lot from your TH-cam videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you joseph815joseph. I really appreciate that.
Best hammock channel I have found to date. Big on valuable info with a no nonsense style.
Thank you for watching and your kind comment Bryan. I really appreciate it.
I ordered an 11 foot wide last week, I'm 6'2. I found Dutch Wear because it's the hammock I saw you sitting in in your hammock basics video series. It is supposed to show up tomorrow and this video certainly has reafermed my purchase, and made me extra excited. Thank you for teaching me all about hammoks, this new options for sleeping while camping has made me excited to get out again.
The only Negative that I can find with that hammock . Is that my wife is always yelling at me to get out of it, and get to work. Thank you Northern Fog for watching.
@@AdventureswiththeMarineMy wife asked to get out of the hammock for the first time today 😄. I set it up for a quick test and it is super comfortable, if I has stayed in it any longer I probably would have spent the night.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine that is the plan, Canada day long weekend! (Canada day is July 1st, the proper way to celebrate is by mixing nature with beer)
Very nice and fair review. The Chameleon has become my go-to, but I completely understand and agree with your reasoning for the netless as a basic, do it all, basic hammock. Nice review.
You can't go wrong with the Chameleon. Thank you Joe for watching. I really appreciate it.
bought a dream hammock raven with bug net. Much more comfortable than sleeping on a pad in a tent.
That is a great hammock Tuck. Beware! Once you get in . You may never want to get out.
I have the DH raven Double layer in 1.6. Hyper D. I love it to sleep in.. I use a pad in beteen the layers.
Based on this video, I will probably purchase that hammock with the mods you suggested. I currently have another brand of hammock with an integrated bug net but found that the mosquitos would occasionally bite me through the hammock. So I bought a separate, side entry, zippered bug net that gave me a little more protection, both laying and sitting. I just flip the hammock upside down so the integrated fly net is on the bottom, then slide an insolating pad between the two layers.
BTW, thanks for reviewing the Superior Hammock cinch buckles in your previous video. I just used them for the first time this past week and love them! They work so much better, easier to use, fully adjustable and lighter weight than my old clunky daisy chains.
I just completed watching your 6 part video series and learned so much. Keep those vids comin'!!!
That is the hammock that I always want to grab. When I go on trips. I have so many hammocks. And the wide 11ft. netless is my favorite.
I now find myself also grabbing those Superior Hammock suspension. Thank you P Arnold-Mora for always watching. I always appreciate it.
I just ordered one. I purchased the full kit option. Really nice people they tell me it should ship to me late next week as they will start building it tomorrow. Thank you for this review.
Dutch and the gang are really good people. You just order one, if not, my favorite hammock. The only Con is. Your never going to want get out of it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine I may have mislead you. I ordered the Complete Chameleon Hammock Package w/ a Mt. Washington under-quilt. They are fantastic people to deal with. I also upgraded my ridgeline to Amsteel. My 1st hammock and I’m looking forward to receiving it possibly next week.
You have a great hammock for any season and for any situation. Please let me know what you think after taking it out for a test run.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Will do. Thank you for your comment.
I am so happy to see someone distill simple hammock camping and not tout the crappy Chinese made Hennessy line. I am (more kinda, was) an avid backpacker and bike tourer. Lots of hammock time, all I can say is ‘avoid Hennessy!’ You’ll discover far better ones.
rick s
Thanks, I was considering a Hennessy. I use a pad for bottom for under insulation. Thanks
Thank you rick and George for watching and sharing that.
This man is a hammock genius
Your going to make my head explode. Thank you for watching James. i really appreciate it.
Great breakdown on this hammock. Thank you for your insight.
Thank you Doug for watching. I really appreciate it.
The stitching on my Hexon 1.7 was terrible. Missed seams, loose threads. I know it was discounted because of their surplus of the material, but it was really disappointing. Even if it's a clearance item, they should still do some QC. I enjoy their hardware and suspensions, but I can't trust them to buy another hammock.
I switched to a Kammok Roo Double XL, and the stitching is perfect, it's lighter than Dutchware's, and so much more comfortable. Not to mention the gear loops.
Wish I could say I might try one of Dutch's netted hammocks in the future, but they lost my hammock business quickly with the product I received.
EDIT: I love your videos. This comment is in no way a shot at you. Hope to see more reviews from you!
I would call them and tell them what happen so they can make it right. We all make mistakes ( and I had my share ). So please give them a call ( 717-947-7849 ). And please let me know the outcome.
Well done video. Very thorough. I always buy hammocks without a ridgeline so I can use my sleeping bag instead of quilts, and I use a separate bug net because I hike a lot outside of bug season and into the winter. For summer only, l am considering buying a longer hammock with an integrated bug net, since insulation could be handled by using a flexible closed cell foam pad and my 1lb. full-zip down bag, which also doubles as a top quilt.
God bless. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for sharing! You have a good system that seems to work well for you. If you are looking for a light hammock and don't mind a Partial bug net. Check out the Dutchware Gear Half Wit hammock. It only weighs 10 ounces. Happy Thanks Giving Daniel.
Not sure what a Ridgeline has to do with using a bag vs a quilt?
Just about to get into hammock camping and found your channel,very informative and well edited.now subscribed 👍
Thank you Michael for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate it.
The reason I picked this hammock is that I am planning a 6 week motorcycle tour and I don't wast a broken zipper that I can't field repair to make me miserable.
Good choice. One of my most comfortable hammock. Thank you Davidjdriver for watching. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for a very informative video. I enjoy all your videos, learning something every one.
Thank you for watching and your comment Jon in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, The mill. I really appreciate it.
Awesome video Thanks for sharing it with us, checked out the site hammock and after net plus suspension and ridgeline under $100 nice option instead of the Chameleon for now. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you for watching and your comment William. I really appreciate it.
Great video. Love the new intro. Getting ready to get a new hammock to save a bit of weight. So many choices from some great manufacturers. Just curious. What is the weight with the hammock and bug net?
I believe the best light weight hammock is the Dream Hammock Darien. Depending on the size you get. ( which you can get a custom fit ). The average weight would be under 16 oz. (453 grams ). I will be doing a review on that hammock in a couple of weeks.
I have been using a bottom entry bug net, and bugs are still getting in. I have been pulling the draw string tite
If the bug net is not sealed around the bottom of the hammock. They will get in. And that always bugged me. Thank you Miloswanson for watching. I really appreciate it.
I appreciate your channel and the time spent producing these informative topics. I have recently bought a hammock and tree straps. I do have a question regarding how to prevent rain water from running down the tree straps and eventually into the hammock?
You want to have the tarp about 6 inches past and over the knot or hardware that is connected to the continuous loops on the hammock. Even though the suspension is exposed in the rain. Water will run down the suspension. Hit the Knot or hardware. Which will act as a water brake. And drip down to the ground. Not the other end of the suspension. If your suspension is exposed with no water brake. Then you just tie a knot with part of the cordage dangling down on to your suspension that is under the tarp. The water will then travel down the Tree Straps. Hit the water brake the drip down the end of the loose cordage on the knot. In stead of the susupension. I hope this helps Mountain Walker49.
I agree on the 11 foot length make a very comfortable lay for camping. Modular is a plus as well for adding a bug net. The Hexon material is OK - and I have one made like this - and it is good. I wish there was a way people could try various materials, as there are other options - Dream Hammock does a great job at representing this. I thought DIY would be cheaper, but it has turned out to be an addiction, and a lot of work. There are so many material choices out there to suite individual needs ( Thus - HYOH - Hang Your Own Hang) - and so many great vendors to suite these needs. For me a Robix 1.0 has a great feel and stretch, but that is for me - and now my wife as she has taken a liking to that hammock - and now I can't find that material to make another one. Great video, and nice explanation for how to lay in one along with the options - Hope I can see you and Runner on the trail sometime - I like the work you do, and the info you give. Take Care, and thank you for the info. ;)
I thought about taking up sewing and buying a sewing machine. But I was afraid of being a hammock making addict. I believe that hammocks are like clothes. One size dose not fit all. Different materials feel and stretch different from one another. I would like to get all the hammock companies together and take among each other of these things. You are right. Randy from dream hammock is a head of the game. But there is more that can be done. And please don't think that I am trying to be an expert. I just love hammocks. Thank you for sharing that Sean. I really appreciate it.
I hope to see you and the wife on the trail. We will have Runner make us a big fire to chat by.
Sir .thankyou for great video advice...
Thank you for watching George. I really appreciate it.
A sound recommendation. I want to buy once and cry once. I’m 6’4” looking to get a hammock with a sewn in big net and UQ. I have Superior Gear straps, 30* & 15* top quilts.
The hammock I would buy would be the Dream Hammock Sparrow. I love the Superior Gear straps. If you hike a lot. And your feet don't always get cold. I would highly recommend a 3/4 length 0° Phoenix to go with the 15° top quilt.
Adventures with the Marine I had a funny feeling you would say that. Thanks
Adventures with the Marine I’ve only had one experience sleeping in a hammock, so my knowledge is extremely limited. I’d think the 0* 3/4 UQ would be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. While researching an UQ for my Chameleon, I saw I could get a SG hammock with an integrated UQ for the same price and less weight. Then I was worried about the width. Thanks again.
I just picked up the 12’ version of this hammock and ordered a Trailheads 0* long wide 1000fill UQ.
Thanks for all of your reviews.
Another great video on hammocks 👍🏼
Thank you sir.
Thank you sir.
Excellent review
Thank you Kevin for all your support. I really appreciate it.
@AdventureswiththeMarine I'm getting the 11 foot wide, I don't understand why I'd pick nylonD 1.7 vs hexon 1.6, what are the benefits of either material?
NylonD is smoother in texture and has a little more stretch than Hexon, which feels more like cotton. Hexon is probably a little stronger. You can't go wrong with either one.
Just starting out with hammock camping and I am looking into the Blackbird Warbonnet hammock. I love where it is buggy and I would love to have the integrated bug net. The only issue is the price since I am just starting out and I am unsure if I will fully enjoy sleeping in a hammock. Any suggestions on if the warbonnet black bird is worth it or should I go for a cheaper more entry level hammock? Thank you!
I love the Black Bird with it's shelf to store gear. It is a great hammock. But if I where you. I would buy either 11ft. netless or the wide 11ft. netless ( with the notty mods and amsteel ridgeline ). Depending on how tall you are. First you start out just kicking back in it. Then take a nap in it. Then sleep over night in your backyard to make sure it is going to work for you. If it dose , then buy the bug net. The wide would cost the most with the bug net and the options for 139.00. I have many hammocks. And that is the one I always want to grab to take on a trip. If I am going to take a nap in the backyard. That is the hammock I am going to take a snooze in.
If I were you, I'd find someone with an Amok Draumr and try that out. It's expensive, but once you try one you'll know it's a one and done solution. I have one, and it's better than my bed at home. If I were single it would BE my bed. It can also be set up on the ground with a ground sheet and a couple poles or hiking sticks, or hang treeless with the Tensa set-up.
If you live in a buggy area, then I would recommend the Hennessy Hammocks, like the Jungle expedition. Their company has full hammock, bug net, suspension, tarp and snakeskins all together for a lot less than piecing it together. I have the Safari XXL with bottom entry and also the Jungle XXL zip model, both with the large Hexagon tarp. The hammocks have lots of extra details, asymmetrical designs, guy lines, shock cords, mitten hooks and ridge line organizer.
I don't know if you going to see my comments but I love your channel. I'm starting to learn about hammocks would you advise me to get this netless hammock or dream darien? the difference in price is huge for just the net. my main concern is comfor and durability.
Thank you for watching sherief Kamal.
Thank you. I enjoy your vlog. I havent yet used or purchased a hammock. What do you recommend for quilts?
I highly recommend getting a under quilt. You can use a sleeping bag as a top quilt until you you get a top quilt. I really like Hammock Gear quilts. Thank you for watching Colleen. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for showing us this netless hammock. Can the hammock be staked out to stabilize it in strong winds? Can you still stake it out when you use a Fronkey bug net or winter/summer sock?
You can get tabs or clips sewn on the side to stake it out. But I have never stake this hammock down. Other, I have. I have been in some high winds with this hammock. You would have to sew in some openings on the side of the bug net or weather sock, for it to work. But with a tarp pitched low. It would block the wind. But I do have to say. This wide 11ft. netless hammock is my favorite. Thank you for watching mudbone.
Love Dutchwear stuff.
Dutch is the Mad Scientist of Hammocking.
Sweet hammock i like the 11 foot way better mine is also wide with no bug net
Nothing like a 11ft. wide.
Very helpful and informative video. Definitely subscribing. One question tho for this hammock what type of suspension would you recommend? By that I mean the whoopie hook, clinch buckles, or continous loop.
The continuous loop is what you connect the hammock to the suspension. You definitely have to have them. And they do not come with the hammock anymore. So you have to order them.
For the past few years. I have been using the Whoopie Slings. (which are very light, packable and strong ) Bit now I have been using that Superior Hammock cinch buckles lately. ( which are heavier and more bulk ). But I am going to stay with them for now. So with that being said. I would recommend those. I did a video on them last year. So check it out. Thank you for watching Durn. I really appreciate it.
There’s some “lore” that suggests bugs can bite through a single layer hammock. Has that been your experience? I use the HUG net that just covers the upper torso. But my arms are still against the single layer hammock bottom. The point is, if the “bite through” is true, even with an intergrated net. the critters could bite through a bottom layer. Most of the body is ususally covered - UQ’s and all - but bare arms against hammock fabric is common.
The thickness of the material used on all of my hammocks is 1.6. And that has never been a problem. Not one bite.
Thank you for watching cougermeat. I really appreciate it.
So what do you think about the netless in Cloud 71?
If you are an ultralight hiker. And your under 200 lbs. ( I am 225 lbs and there was a lot of stretch ) and you are all about keeping that pack weight down. Then you should get it. But if you are not. Get it in Hexon. The Netless is a great hammock. I have the Wide for my height and weight. It is good to hear from you aikirunner.
excellent video! thank you so much
Thank you for watching coolnames. I really appreciate it.
Great video. I went to the Dutchware site and took a look. They offer a 12' with a similar width as the 11' wide. I am 6'3" and 240. Is bigger better?
I would go with the 12ft. But that means you will need a 12ft. tarp if you are going to use it for camping. Thank you for watching Icecat21. I really appreciate it.
I ‘ve been considering replacing my ENO sub 7 . Your information will your help me decide. Here in Nebraska most campers are car based. I live near Indian Cave State Park. Which gives an opportunity to backpack a few miles through the Loess hills overlooking the Missouri River. This is about the western edge of the eastern hardwood forests and beginning of the plains.
This hammock would be a good up grade. It would be a great to hang it over looking the Missouri River. To wake up to a view like that. Life doesn't get any better.
Thanks will look into this seriously.
I got the 11’ wide. I now know what a flat lay feels like. Thanks for your advice. My ENO extra light bug net didn’t work, so getting a larger one.
Whats the lighter brown (almost beige ) hammock with the bug net he was showing for winter?
That is the Dream Hammock Darien. A great hammock. Thank you Simon Baillar Simon Baillar for watching. I really appreciate it.
Hi there! Thanks for another great and informative video. I have a question, I watch quite a few hammock videos for my entertainment especially from you and Shug, but there are others too. How come I've never seen (at least I think I never did) any of the more popular hammock channels talk about the Ticket To The Moon hammocks? Maybe they are not so common in the US? Here in Europe if I go to a camping store, the first option they often have is the TTTM hammock. So that is also the first one I ever bought and I think its one of the best beginner hammocks (or even allround as you say) on the market. I upgraded mine with dyneema whoopies and ridgeline. They come in lots of colors too and a nice banana shaped stuff sack.
Please don't wrong. I am not trying to bash any company. I only want to help people and tell them the truth.
The reason why I do not recommend the Ticket To The Moon hammocks for hiking or camping. ( If you are just going to use them for hanging at parks. Then that is a different story ) A good hammock is made of one piece of fabric. Not two or more. What makes a hammock so great is that it conforms to your body with the right amount of stretch, so there are no pressure points. With the different color fabrics sewn in. It will take away that stretch. The reason they put different color fabric in the hammock is for looks to boost their sales. Plus, when you lie on where the fabrics are sewn together. You now have a pressure point that may leave a mark.
I like to always recommend hammock companies that make hammocks that fits you. One size do not fit all. ( just like clothing ). But I do have say that any hammock is better than no hammock. Use and enjoy the hammock that you have now. I hope that helped. Not not sound too judgmental. Thank you for watching Athaphian.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine That sounds very plausible indeed. Thanks for the in depth reply. I use my TTTM hammock purely for day camping around the campsite (normally I camp with a tent), recently I upgraded to a Warbonnet Eldorado which I hope to try out overnight soon. We have two TTTM hammocks and the one I use the most often is actually a 1 piece hammock, its the single person variant which does not have sewn in colors. It is pretty comfortable, but the absense of a bugnet make it a bit useless during the night over here. Thanks again! Keep making those awesome videos.
@@athaphian a bug net in the summer months are a must. Shug uses the Eldorado. And loves it. I believe you will too.
Hi, I was just wondering about what brown you have regarded to the Wide 11 FT. Netless hammock. Is that the Coyote Brown or Dark Olive?
Dark Olive Joey. It is a great color.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Thanks for your response! Indeed nice color 😁
I can't find the amsteel option for ridgelines on their website? Did they stop making these out of amsteel?
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. Just put in the comment section that you want the ridgeline made of amsteel. I am going to call him to ask why he does not have it on his website. He did before. Thank you for watching Ryan.
Thanks for the great info and presentation. What suspension system would you recommend with this?
For many years I have been using a Woopie Sling with a Whoopie hook from Dutchware Gear on the hammock end. On the other end a 5 or 5ft. tree hugger. With a dutch clip, to secure around the tree. But lately, I have been using the suspension that I did a video on last month. It is from Superior Hammock. I believe it is the easiest cinch buckle to use. I definitely would recommend it. Thank you for watching Ronald.
Backpacking With a Hammock This morning I ordered the DW hammock you recommended with the summer sock and the Beetle Buckle suspension. I gave you a mention 👍
Thank you sir. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for your expertise. I think this hammock will allow me to sit and eat in it.
Thank you for watching all of my videos Millennial Hmong. I really do appreciate it.
All of this equipment is great, but in my country same quality cost 1/4 price, and is half the size (hammock 20 USD, bug-net 4 USD, Ridgeline 0,5 USD per 1m, suspension 5 USD)
Nothing like finding good deals. Thank you for watching Rafal Zak. I really appreciate it.
Rafał Żak which hammock are you referring to?
Don't make promises you can't keep. Haha
Your probably right Remy.
You’re making me consider getting one now that I already have a chameleon.
The Chameleon is a great hammock. But if there is no bugs. For me .The Netless is a little more comfortable, with the notty mods. That is the hammock that I always want to grab when I am heading out on trip.
Lol😹

I am running out of trails in Minnesota. I will have to check it out. Thank you sir.
You nearly conviced me , but after visiting the site I find something else, SORRY!
Always get what works for you. Thank you for watching Espen Karlsen. I really appreciate it.
Don't waste Any money on Any hammock until you have researched the Amok Draumr and listened to life-long hammock owners that are astounded how much better they sleep when not hanging like an old banana. Comfortable, stable, insulated, fully enclosed, multipurpose seating... there's no comparison. Do your research, listen to people that aren't trying to sell you anything, and most importantly... don't ever listen to some yammerhead on youtube that wants to score spare change like they are working an off-ramp somewhere.
Agree. I have a Draumr and love, love, love it! The first time I tried it out, I planned to just lay back for a sec, and then woke up an hr later, hahaha.
The Amok brotherhood continues to grow.
@@norsefalconer It wasn't until the second night that I fully understood how to adjust it for "my" perfect sleep. I use the same insulated pad in the Draumr and to sleep on flat surfaces, always nice to have options when there is no place to hang a hammock.
@@brianbassett4379 I agree, options are good to have. The Amok folks posted an update video not long ago, and spoke about a guy on their blog (or forum, not sure which) that does a ground set-up using hiking poles. I'm sure there is a ground sheet used as well. Interesting, but, I went hammock bc I don't like ground sleeping, so not pursuing that one. However, I am contemplating getting a suspension pole system from Tensa for no tree, and no tree strapping allowed, situations.
@@norsefalconer With a good pad you can be just as comfortable laying on a hard surface... the ground or even a picnic table. I think most people try to over inflate their air mattresses and thin light-weight tubular cell pads aren't that great. I bike tour and love to have back-ups and options for all aspects of camping and riding. - bike pics: prior to Oct 2019

@@brianbassett4379 Wow! THAT is a super nice rig! You obviously put in a lot of time, thought (and $) to get it right. I especially like the trailer with the "roof rack," SWEET! The best part is that you use it. I'm not that motivated, so I motorcycle camp, hahaha. I do need to take more pictures though. Thanks for sharing yours!
Anyway... Yeah, no, I have a super nice pad (Exped Megamat), and I'm certain it'd be comfy just about anywhere. I've just found that I don't like the vulnerability of being on the ground, in, or out, of a tent or tarp. Sure, it's largely unfounded, but we're all a little broken in some manner. Hammocks were my answer. I'm thankful, because I love being out in nature. Hardly anything more refreshing for my soul than a crisp woodland morning.
