Just wanted to say, I have the same DD XL hammock, DD under quilt, and use with a DD 3.5 X 3.5m tarp.
1) This tarp works perfectly in the rain with the XL. 2) I don't have a problem with the balance of the XL hammock. It stays upright whether I'm in it or not. I noticed that your bug net stays were not equally spaced in the sleeves. One side had a large 'gap'. The unbalanced weight of the bug net might be overbalancing the hammock to one side or another??? Just a guess. 3) I agree. The under quilt is clearly not designed for the XL. It's fiddly as all get-out to attach, and doesn't cover the entire length of the hammock. It does keep my butt warm, but.... : )
Hey thanks for watching, ive come to figure that dd use the underblanket with this hammock, full unsinched at the ends, that does make a little more sense, for fitment but id be wary in very cold weather doing that, the slightest movements i reckon drafts would be let in, overall i think its a good setup
if this is more like a double hammock maybe if you can find a wider underquilt that is meant for use with a double hammock, may have to go outside of the DD line but other companies make wider underquilts for the double hammocks
Kaylynn Strain it's only marketed as a single but will be getting a bigger under blanket
I have the dd travel/bivi hammock and under quilt and it is fantastic. Keeps me nice and warm and comfy.
i heard you can get condensation issues with the travel hammock, have you experienced this?
Yeah mate i have a couple of times. It could be down to the weather conditions at the time though.
Whats the different between this on the first version
Great review, Kev.. The hoops for the bug net look a lot better than playing with strings and sticks. Thank you for the video
+shovelhead8 keep it off your face too! Thanks for watching psl
When I 1st saw you using this hammock I liked it, I love the half loop net spreader bars, u can use it on the ground as a mozi net under a tard easily with loads of room inside, I had considered the the bivi hammock but now I'm thinking of getting 1 of these instead. Great review dude
+manstuff tv these not water proof bottom like the big hammock mate
Thanks for the awesome review! I love my DD 3x3 tarp and was considering getting one of their hammocks even though I own a Dutchware Chameleon, which I love! I just like trying different gear but these DD hammocks aren't as common in the States so I appreciate the honest review and feedback.
unless you are really tall i think the normal frontline is a easy hammock to live with! i did see some dd hammocks on ebay usa, if that helps
It could be that to balance the Hammock you would need another set of poles and run them underneath - in a semi circle like the top.. then the weight would equalise and balance the hammock... its the weight of the poles that flips it.... maybees aye ??
We found yo from Gareth and Zoe, Looks like a great hammock my friend, Love it.
Seen another video of your with leather making, we do leather as well. Fun stuff my friend. Enjoyed your video, so we are looking forward to seeing more from your channel, subbed you my friend. Keep put eh fun videos and have a blessed weekend.
awesome people and channel love em both, love to see some leather work
Kev great Gear camping kit review videos like the DD Frontline XL , my mate got one he said he only uses it for summer camping
Andrew Forest me too and only local woods don't think it's small enough for hiking
Great review Kev. I love mine but I use it all year round, no under blanket in winter either, totally fine for me. I do take other measures to compensate for not have an underblanket, never woke up with a cold back yet. Thanks for sharing. Atb Shaun
what do you use mate, out of interest?
The same, DD frontline XL. like I say though I don't use an under blanket, just an inflatable mat and foam roll mat and sometimes a blanket if it's really cold. Atb Shaun
dont you get condensation that way? every time ive used a similar combo ive got soaked
No mate, never experienced that. Never even got damp, don't know what the crack is there. I am not as frequent a user of hammocks as you are though so maybe I have just been lucky until now. I'm out in it on Tuesday, I'll let you know what happens. Atb Shaun
i may just be a sweaty mofo haha
It's not balanced because its windy. You can here In he audio. The wind pushed the mesh netting.
I always use the tw xl hammock but that looked like there’s plenty room a mean am 19stone n just under 6ft so would b perfect for the summer months for me great review kev atvb marra
DAZ D it is an awesome hammock gonna see how that under blanket you mentioned fits it
I am using a chinese double bed sleeping mat mylar, very comfortable, a real budget, but I did not try it in winter
do have have issues with condensation with that? i used too but being a big chap i do tend to sweat alot, thanks for watching
Shame that TW is having issues atm I really rate their stuff. Good review mate
i do too and would still love the xxl twin layer hammock with no net for winter!!
Great you told it like it is bro. ATB to you and Lilly
has to be the way dude
Hi Kev ...great review.. I have same hammock and once I get my Whoopie slings on will be back in it.. mine is same it's unbalanced.. atb Lee
Jorvik Outdoors that's interesting as I thought it may be the whoopie slings that done it
No I've got the original webbing and it does the same..i thought it was just me too lol
Good vid kev 👍been thinking about getting dd hammock xl mate atb brendan
maybe the normal frontline is enough mate
Great review, but lol it looks like an oversized keep net
Sean Hinchliffe haha yeah kinda does
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
