DD XL Frontline Hammock - First Setup and Impressions

- Hi everyone,
I recently got my hands on some cracking new gear, sold to me by a friend on Instagram. I managed to get a full starter kit: DD XL Frontline hammock, DD 4.5 x 3 metre Tarp, DD underblanket and snakeskin, and it had already been adapted with tree huggers and whoopie slings!
The last time I tried hammocking was about 14 years ago while out in Thailand... And those were simple net-style affairs with no shelter, no nothing, so this slightly more advanced setup was going to take a little getting used to and a bit of fine tuning.
After a fair bit of faffing, I got to chill out for an hour or so and have a brew in my new bed away from home... Really looking forward to taking this out properly soon!
A big thanks to @ChiefScout_Outdoors letting me purchase this brilliant kit!
Thanks for watching!

Outstanding
Welcome to the hammock world buddy they are awesome
I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this! I don't have to worry about flat ground! 🤣
i have mine paired with a dd3x3 tarp and love it....been using it for about 4 years now
For the first time, I think you nailed it 😊👊🔥
The added whoopie slings make it a 1000 times easier than the DD offerings
What a cracking looking woods you got there.
I’ll have to join ya very soon 😊👍🌳
Thanks for the shoutouts
See ya soon 😊👊🔥
great info never stop learning and have fun
Thank you! 👍🏻
Great video James, great effort on the first attempt mate, hammock camping is great with an underquilt this time of year and you have a really good hammock too. Really looking forward to the next video mate, crack on!!😂
Cheers Paul! I did go out that evening in the end) another video down the line) and took the under quilt... Was so warm, slept all the way through! 🙏💚
What temps do you put it on....In Australia, Queensland, but winter gets down to zero some nights so chilly if not ridiculous. Thanks in advance!
Great video there James, your extra comments made me chuckle! You did well working it all out. I have never used a hammock. I know about needing two trees, but that's all ;) Cheers, Warren
That was pretty much my starting point as well! 🤣
I've never tried a hammock, I keep holding off, mostly due to cost and the need for extras like a quilt and a tarp to keep the rain off. Just subbed.
Cheers chap! I had been holding off as well, it was only as @chiefscout_outdoors had put the set up on here to sell, at a very good price... I was the first responder! 🙏💚
Liked it, James. A bit old style Jolly Jack Tar! A good tip of yours for small items - mark the little buggers! I put a foot length of paracord on all of my tent pegs. Makes them easier to pull out, easier to see if you drop one and easier to pick up with a litter picker if you can't bend down properly.
Since that happened everything I could possibly lose has now got one of those tags! Was out last night and they came in handy then! 🙏💚
Tidy setup there matey , love a hammock , just gotta luxury feel about it and loads of space , nice one 👍
Thanks mate, it truly is the Hilton of hammocks! (didn't get room service though...) 🤣
Its a good hammock, I love mine. With the underblanket on its a great winter option.
I bet! I went out for an actual camp with it the other evening (a future video), and used the underblanket and my flames creed quilt, I was roasting... It'll be perfect for winter camping. 👌

@@gregeberhardt1711 any time its below 10c overnight, or if its windy.
Thx….exactly what I was after
I'll be out in mine 2mrw night can't wait
I'd forgotten how comfortable hammocks are. Have a good time tomorrow! 👍🏻
Another great video mate 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Upgrade it to a Hennessy hammock or a onewind hammock For better quality and contact
I'll probably do that down the line to be fair, this one is still a good all rounder, and a good way to ease myself into hammoking! 🙏💚
Once you try a Hennessey or a Onewind , you will see such a big difference, in comfort and quality
