About 6 years ago I bought a DD Traveler Hammock w/bug net, double layered water proof bottom (doubles as a bivy), and 3mx3m rain tarp. It was delivered in only 3 days from day of order. I've used the hell out of em in all kinds of weather with no real evident wear. Went ahead & bought the extra large rain tarp...ridge line to ground... which forms a tent over the hammock so my dog has an enclosure during cold weather. Really love all the tie loops so it can be used in all kinds of configurations. IMHO, DD makes very good products.
I want to thank u for all your hard work over the years!!!!! Watched all your video's from start to finish. I have learned so so much from you, I want to say to you THANK YOU Dave
I have a lot of DD hammocks kit. I have taken them out in all weathers here in the uk. My first 3x3 tarp is still going after 4.5 years. I can recommend it.
I had my 3x3 tarp when I came to the Basic course in Oct 2015. At the time in 2015, I could not find anywhere on the internet (not even on amazon!), an american made equivalent to the DD tarp with its 19 tie out points so I had to order it from the UK. It worked great to cover my hammock at the basic course, LOTS of room underneath. Additionally, on DD's website there are videos on the different ways you can configure their 3 x 3 tarp. I am glad to see someone in the US carrying these great products!
I have one of the original DD ponchos, is an amazing bit of kit. If you want a good begginer hammock the DD camping hammock is ideal along with a Snugpak underblanket. If anyone wants any advice on Snugpak let me know I live near the factory and know it well. High fives from Northern England,
Yeah, I want to know something: How far down would you estimate someone would be warm in with the Snugpack Jungle Bag? I've got one & it's a good overall design, but I don't know how far down it can comfortably go. If you could give me an estimate with an SOL Bivy around it too, that would be great!
Man that's am Awsome demo Dave. Great of you to help them out getting the word out and even carrying their products here in the USA. I have been using DD hammock products for years and love it. Didn't even know they had these. Thanks Dave
I have used DD products for a couple of years now and found them good. I slept outdoors in a DD Jura II sleeping bag last night at below 0 degrees Celsius (29 degree Fahrenheit), just in underwear, and got too warm! The 3x3m tarp is good with plenty of reinforced tie outs and my hammock is also DD. I wish Self Reliance Outfitters every success selling these very good products.
Looks cool. I saw a similar one made by a Finish company called Wildward. The only difference is the inside is lined with a silver reflective material that helps retain heat when you have a fire in front of it with the door pitched like an awning. You should check them out. I don't think they are sold in the states either.
the bug net would be essential here in florida . . . even in winter . love the tipi . gonna have to get one . thanks Dave for bringing these products to us .
Looks like a couple of great products. Both are well under two pounds, and the pricing looks good too. That pyramid especially looks like a fantastic winter shelter. I am especially interested in their SuperLight tarp.
Awesome!! Never heard of DD? Thanks for the clip and thanks for carrying the product! I would love to see a more in depth review. I know your a busy man though. Thanks again so much Dave.
Sweet stuff. I was thinking of getting a tent this spring to go along with my hammock camping set. Some days I want to put up the hammock but sometimes it really seems like a sleeping pad, bag, and a tent is the bees knees.
I have a couple of these tarps, good quality and reasonable price, seem the options in the US are a little pricey most of the time, like to have that miner. I think u are making a good choice with DD
HI Dave. Im a great advocate of DD products. each season I have a different set up. The latest hammock I have is a Frontline mutlicam. Its the best Hammock ive seen yet. Maybe worth while checking the 4x4 mc tarp.
Please correct your comment they are listed for $160.00 on your store page add for this Saturday! Thank you very much, everything you do ,or teach is excellent!, great looking tents!
Thanks Dave ! I think this is what I've been looking for, for a long time. The lightness of a tarp, the enclosure of a tent and an optional bug screen so you don't get eaten alive in the summer, and the protection from the elements in the winter. I'm used to tents, not tarps and I don't like hammocks. Wonder if they make one of these tents with a stove jack for an ultralight wood stove??
Hey Dave, I really like the A frame tent. I sleep cold and I'm a big fan of super shelters in the winter. With your skill and knowledge, Could you make this into a winter super shelter? I would appreciate a how to video if you could make one. Thanks for the videos.
Just out of curiosity will the A-frame hold up similar to like a bakers tent even though it’s not tall that something I was just curious about if possible and leave the reviews if you guys test it out it would be nice to know great video Dave
DD Dave NOT D&D !! Been using their Tarps and their Fronline hammock for about 7-8 yrs now and can't fault them, 3x3 for ground dwelling and 4x4 for hammocking, plenty of shelter space iff the weather turns bad, their very popular here in Britain, 👍🏻🇬🇧
Hey Dave, Im a big fan of your chanel and your website, however I have not seen many options for foregin countries on your shipping options, im thinking me and many others from outside usa would be glad to buy your gear, sorry for my bad english, greetings from Mexico.
Wow, this is a bummer. I have to go bout a hundred miles to find trees growing naturally. Or I would get shot for camping in someones yard LOL! P.S. I couldn't find the tents on your site.
Hey Dave, that A-frame is really cool! Do you think if you put a piece of clear plastic over the opening, it would make a good super shelter? ...Thanks :>)>>
With some wet leaves, green boughs or a wool blanket covering the roof and side(s)...I see a fire in front...when considering weight to carry the extra one needs to hammock in winter, I have gone back to ground in the cold...I like the fire...
Give input for the first one to be able to hang a hammock through the ridge line and you got a hybrid system that can do both/inclement weather capability
Thanks for sharing. Would be awesome to have the possibility for an oven. Excuse my bad english. Dont practice it that much. Best regards from Germany.
I need a new hammock and ill be looking into these DD's as well as theyre other products ! looks like superb quality from what ive seen !....Cheers ! ,;,; Spook
How can someone purchase either tent from your company? What are the prices on each of the tents? I can not find any information at your store yet! Thank you.
Always a big big fan D.C. not a fan of the side ways tube tent . everybody has the things they like or not (walmart day sack with waist belt, sam's club hammock, two mchte bar girls and a high sierra. simple coleman bag no over tarp (yet), ball hiking boots, a large magnifying glass looking for a light duty rocket stove pack less than 35lbs, used to 45-55 lbs on a excursion pack wish you and barefoot were together still, F-all that hollywood controversy, the best vids hands down ever and that's the truth . anytime you want to strike out from my cabin in AZ off the kaibab forest let me know; always a fan, in christ

That's pretty cool! "If you're into the ground sleeping thing" LOL
the bug net would be essential here in florida . . . even in winter .
love the tipi . gonna have to get one .

I've been running the dd 3x3 tarp for a couple of years and had no problems...thanks for the video Dave
I have a DD frontline hammock and the 3x3 tarp. Love their products and have them for my wife and son too.
Sweet stuff. I was thinking of getting a tent this spring to go along with my hammock camping set. Some days I want to put up the hammock but sometimes it really seems like a sleeping pad, bag, and a tent is the bees knees.
Real good looking product Dave! Always way ahead of everyone else.
I have DD hammock and tarp Nice to see some UK US trade again. Great tarp and hammock set up. Nice one Dave.
Excellent !!! Love your videos sir!
You started it all !! A definite purchase for me. Love the lightweight a frame. Thanks !
I really like my DD 3x3 tarp. I hope in the future to pick up one of their frontline hammocks as well.
I always have liked the Miners tent configuration. This DD tent is a nice one and weight saving too...
Love DD products, I have the 3x3 tarp, Frontline hammock and Dura 2 sleeping bag .. Awesome stuff.
Really liking the looks of both of these. My 3x3 meter tarp is a mainstay of my kit, its a quality product.
Good move, bringing DD into the U.S. I hope you were able to secure some exclusivity in your contract.
I have a couple of these tarps, good quality and reasonable price, seem the options in the US are a little pricey most of the time, like to have that miner. I think u are making a good choice with DD
Great video. I love the look and function of that A frame tent. I will put it on my radar and maybe do a review of it on my channel. Thanks Dave.
Good work Dave! DD makes great gear and hopefully this reduces price and delivery time a bit (shipping from UK).
HI Dave. Im a great advocate of DD products. each season I have a different set up. The latest hammock I have is a Frontline mutlicam. Its the best Hammock ive seen yet. Maybe worth while checking the 4x4 mc tarp.
Nice look in tents Dave really like that miners tent ! Great products ! Take care brother
Sweetness!! You always have and share great information Sir. Thanks much and blessings 😇🇺🇸
I like the alternate entry points. Seems versatile.
Dig the miner tent. Love my DD tarp....... don't think the wife will let me buy anymore outdoor gear for a while though.😀
Please correct your comment they are listed for $160.00 on your store page add for this Saturday! Thank you very much, everything you do ,or teach is excellent!, great looking tents!
Love the A Frame .... pretty awesome.
Seems to be a very cool setting - really like it! Thanks for the information!
That A frame would be a great quick shelter.👊
Thanks Dave ! I think this is what I've been looking for, for a long time. The lightness of a tarp, the enclosure of a tent and an optional bug screen so you don't get eaten alive in the summer, and the protection from the elements in the winter. I'm used to tents, not tarps and I don't like hammocks.
Wonder if they make one of these tents with a stove jack for an ultralight wood stove??
Hey Dave, I was wondering what you thought about a shelter-half tent. Was hoping to get a second opinion before I go buy one.
Hey Dave, I really like the A frame tent. I sleep cold and I'm a big fan of super shelters in the winter. With your skill and knowledge, Could you make this into a winter super shelter? I would appreciate a how to video if you could make one. Thanks for the videos.
Just out of curiosity will the A-frame hold up similar to like a bakers tent even though it’s not tall that something I was just curious about if possible and leave the reviews if you guys test it out it would be nice to know great video Dave
Nice Bro!
Looks like some nice tents. I've heard good things about DD
Hey Dave, thanks again for the video. After using both of these tents, which of them do you prefer most and for what reasons? Thanks Dave.
NICE!... I'm really digging both shelters.. I wonder if you can put a stove jack on either the tent for a Seek Outdoors small wood stove??
looks interesting. just FYI they are labeled as tent but not in the "tent" category on the website. found them under tarps instead.
Thanks for vid dave.. I use a frame w/ 3x3 tarp. Great. So when do we get to see the new woodland brew kit?
Do you have to use polls with the A-frame tent? Or can you set it up with just a Ridgeline.
DD Dave NOT D&D !! Been using their Tarps and their Fronline hammock for about 7-8 yrs now and can't fault them, 3x3 for ground dwelling and 4x4 for hammocking, plenty of shelter space iff the weather turns bad, their very popular here in Britain, 👍🏻🇬🇧
Dave you should do a video about how people out in the field amused themselves and how that has evolved over time
Great tent line.
I wish it had a floor incorporated in it. Not a fan of ticks.
Both are very attractive tents but the miners tent would be better for me. Being a user of the Pathfinders Tarp tent I've grown to like the head room.
Sweet thank's Dave..
I use their tarps. Great products.
With that a-frame you could stake out the door and use it as a fly cover over the entry.
Thanks for the video.
What is the stitching like? I've just heard the stitching on the DD pyramid isn't very good.
Hey dave,awesome reviews can you list the prices of all the shelters, thanks bro
Some good looking tents there
Awesome brother. I want that A frame. What will the price be on that? Thanks.
thumbs up +1
Great info video Dave.
With the miners tent, would you be able to have a small fire in it scene it has the ventilation vent?
I like the A frame!!
Hey Dave, Im a big fan of your chanel and your website, however I have not seen many options for foregin countries on your shipping options, im thinking me and many others from outside usa would be glad to buy your gear, sorry for my bad english, greetings from Mexico.
DD Hammocks my favourite...
Those DD tents look really cool, too bad I already have lightweight tent and hammock.
Nice ones Dave.
Wow, this is a bummer. I have to go bout a hundred miles to find trees growing naturally. Or I would get shot for camping in someones yard LOL! P.S. I couldn't find the tents on your site.
dave when well they be available to the public
very nice video.
Couple long stakes and looks like you could have an awning with the door.
very cool, the miner's tent looks about the size of a Polish lavvu which would probably be quadruple the weight
It looked small until Dave climbed in.
The bug net is worth the weight because of the waterproof floor.
When do you think the tents will be available on the website?
Saturday
Hey Dave, that A-frame is really cool! Do you think if you put a piece of clear plastic over the opening, it would make a good super shelter? ...Thanks :>)>>
DD products are excellent, prefer making a shelter with a DD 3m by 3m tarp just gives more versatility
nice ,just thinking about woodstove in it ,is it possible?
Dave do u think it's a better tarp than a defender tarp
Just curious if it would leak at the zippers.
With some wet leaves, green boughs or a wool blanket covering the roof and side(s)...I see a fire in front...when considering weight to carry the extra one needs to hammock in winter, I have gone back to ground in the cold...I like the fire...
Good business move Dave.
Give input for the first one to be able to hang a hammock through the ridge line and you got a hybrid system that can do both/inclement weather capability
What is the price range Dave ? God bless have a blessed night
I'm va big guy.. 6'5" will I fit easily into one of these?
Thanks for sharing. Would be awesome to have the possibility for an oven.
Excuse my bad english. Dont practice it that much.
Best regards from Germany.
Does DD make the a frame in a version tall enough to stand up in?
I really like the lean-to one. Are they in stock now? Edit: I can't find it. If not how soon will it be available?
Saturday
Thanks.
Thanks for the video registers for my forces discount and told them your video got me to there Web page
That’s awesome looking
you should come up ice fishing, the walleye will be running here pretty quick
all my stuff is DD I love it.. its great stuff
I just got my DD leanto/A frame tent, what length upright pokes should I use if I decide to go that route ?
What do you think of it? Is it too big for one person realistically?
It's perfect for1 man and gear.i just use a small tarp for my floor.
I need a new hammock and ill be looking into these DD's as well as theyre other products ! looks like superb quality from what ive seen !....Cheers ! ,;,; Spook
Berry good my friend
Carry some clear plastic and turn that into a quick super shelter maybe.
Neither model seem to be close enough to the original, Whelen or miner's tent to sit on a stool or chair inside ?
Dave when will you have these?
Saturday
How can someone purchase either tent from your company? What are the prices on each of the tents? I can not find any information at your store yet! Thank you.
Will be available Sat on our website the A frame is 125
