Hi guys has any of yous own or use a hammock i have been looking at the net (ebay mostly) so what do yous think.

I have a DD Hammock. Would rate it for quality and value but to date I've only had one night in in. It was fine, although I didn't have it setup that well.

Do they take a bit of getting use to, sleeping in them ?

RedLeader · « **Reply #3 on:** September 24, 2009 »

I think there's a technique to getting comfy in them The night I used mine I didn't get into it until after 5am and was too tired to get out and mess with it (666_packs fault

)

the dd hammocks are good bits of kit. ive been using what they call the jungle hammock ,has a fly-net stitched on and hangs from the tarp rope.

saying that though,im really considering one of the hennessey jobs,bigger the better i say so im looking at the safari one. a good nights sleep is important when your out in the forest so i try to carry the best sleeping kit that i can.

i travel by water usually so carrying it isnt an issue.

my sleeping kit comprises of a dd jungle hammock,a b&q tarp,goretex bivvy bag and british army issue sleeping bag. i can tell you im never EVER cold in that cot

though i could use the bigger hammock for definite.

Sounds good. I feel a winter canoe camping trip coming on!

Were do you do your camping Pablo

pablo · « **Reply #10 on:** October 03, 2009 »

wherever is suitable,last weekend it was along the Bann canoe trail. just beside the water,then up near the coleraine lock the next night. took a bit of finding though,had to hide in the bushes away from the big rich houses on the water front

with my set-up i can camp ANYWHERE near water.

Sounds like a pretty good set-up to me,enjoy it !
