I hate sleeping on my back so I don't think a hammock would work for me. I'm a sleep on your front with a leg stuck out to the side type of guy!😂 I'm camping in an ancient wood called Dragon's Glade on Tuesday and this time I'm not going to cock up the audio! 🤣🤣 I will be posting the vid later this week on my channel. Love your content, always entertaining mate! 🙂
You can get them for £20 or so on amazon but like anyhing you get what you pay for and a cheap one might just put you off forever. Have a look at second hand DD set ups. Worth trying then if its not for you sell for pretty much the same price. 👍
I've found that cheap hammocks and cheap tarps are pretty heavy and more bulky than a tent for sure. Plus you then need and under quilt as well as top quilt/sleeping bag that makes it even more bulky. Hence the hammocks with a slot under for a pad work well for weight and pack size. 👍
My big issue with this hammock and video is that it doesn't recognise the damage to trees thin rope on a hammock can do to trees. This can actually kill a tree and this is why hammocks have been banned in a lot of parks around the world. I always put slings round a tree never rope. It goes against good practice in the bush and TBH should have been acknowledged when making this video.🥵
True a rope style strap can cause damage to a tree over time but not for single use. In a forest with a thousand trees you'd have to have five hundred hammocks hanging for a considerable time to affect the forest. One hammock on one tree for one night will have zero affect. Tree huggers are something I use all the time but using these ropes will only cause damage if you use the same tree every night which no one camping does. Huggers were uintroduced as a 'tree friendly' option but really won't make that much difference unless an area is constantly used for hammocking. A general ban simply helps push people toward those straps and ticks an ecological box but yes, I should have mentioned that straps are better than ropes and in all honesty, they are better rhan these I just wanted to show another option they offer. 👍

Cheers buddy. You'll be surprised as I side sleep in my Haven and my amok real easy. You'll be converted if you try I'm sure. Cheers for watching 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Hmm... Your'e welcome, love your vids mate, Nice Tatts too! 🙂
😂 cheers 👍
Great vid mate I can't wait to use my hammock 👍🏻
Cheers Ross. You'll love it 👍
Ok, both this and the Amok are very cool pieces of kit. Which would you prefer if you could only have one hammock??
Co.pares to this I'd go with the Amok for shear comfort. 👍
New to the channel. Good review but there are generally no trees on top of the mountains I climb so pretty useless to me 🤟🏽
😂 yeah that doesn't help. Cheers though. Maybe one day you'll convert to a forest camp. Nothing like it 👌👍
@@NoviceWildCamper hehe are you flirting with me. My names Pond, Dave Pond
Decent looking kit. Do they do a couples double version for when you and the diabetic wanderer go out?
I was gonna.send it to you for when you take him out. Or you could slip in the pad section under him 🤣
Has he actually filmed anything yet? I've got notifications on and nothing to watch.
🤣 it'll be a while before he does even if he starred tomorrow.
@@NoviceWildCamper unacceptable behaviour. He's famous now, has fans and isn't providing. Tut tut.
@@CuriousGoose 😂
Looks a great product. I have just tried to order one but they do not ship to the uk unfortunately damn damn damn
That's odd. They sent it to me. I will check with them.

Try this one. I've changed it now. 👍
Cheers that one worked many thanks . Great channel . Keep up the good work pal
Cheers Lee 👍
First 🙌
😂👍
Have you filmed a video yet? I'm still waiting for the first one 😅
@@CuriousGoose nope 🤣
Im still dubious about hammocks but im sure ill get there lol. What is the cheapest hammock?

@@NoviceWildCamper fair enough. I might just get the OEX one and do a giveaway if I don't like it. It's the pack size that intrigues me.

That does seem pretty lightweight, but I guess you pay for the lightness. This is the way.
Yep
As always, less is more, a lot more
