The FL (Frontline) Hammock comes with built on mosquito net and has zips on either side of the mosquito net which allow for very quick entry/ exit either side of the hammock. It also allows the mosi net to be tied above the hammock out of the way when not needed and it can be dropped back down in seconds as soon as required.
The DD Frontline Hammock is a very similar design to Travel Hammock however unlike the Travel Hammock it is not waterproof (an advantage to this is it is extremely breathable and you can also cocoon yourself between the layers if you wish).As well as for use in Europe this hammock is a great jungle hammock due to its breathablity and built on fine mesh mosquito net.

Suitable for use in temperatures down to -5C, the DD Underblanket works to prevent heat loss from beneath you. Hang it under your hammock, and feel the warmth generated in minutes for a cosy night's sleep! In our opinion, this is the best hammock insulation for a cold night in the wilds!
How does it work?
In hammock camping, the majority of heat loss is from below due to your body weight compressing your clothing or the loft in your sleeping bag. The DD Hammock Underblanket combats this by hanging below your hammock so the loft is not compressed, creating a pocket of air warmed by your body heat. It should be hung with a little slack to gently 'hug' the hammock when you're inside, to achieve the warmest insulation.
Our DD Underblanket is 2m long, so will provide near full-length insulation for most people. We recommend setting it up with a little bias towards your head.

The DD Underblanket is compatible with all our hammocks produced since 2012. Ordinarily its cords can be clipped onto the small tabs along the sides of your hammock.
If using with the SuperLight Jungle, Scout and XL Frontline or any other hammocks without side tabs - hang your underblanket from these models using just the four elastics at the ends, then draw in the sides. Or alternatively, fix the remaining cords to the four large side tabs meant for the curved poles.
It is ultralight and has 16 tough, reinforced side attachment points plus 3 tough centre attachment points (total of 19) making it extremely versatile.
It is the perfect size to provide complete protection for any of our hammocks (and still provide dry living / storage / cooking space around the hammock).
It can also be used on its own as a tent roof for those camping on the ground, to provide a camp shelter, or as a ground sheet. Hundreds of set-up options are possible.Made from 190T polyester with PU 3,000mm coating. Seam is taped. Completely waterproof, even in the heaviest storms.

A great set to start from. This is my first hammock, and it definitely saves money when you have to buy everything in one package. If you want to change something later, it's easy to update it one by one. If you want a warmer uq, etc.
I recommend thinking carefully about e.g. the attachment of the needling. Even though this basically comes with everything you need, attaching the tarp to the ridgeline is best done with a couple of small carabiners and a paracord loop, and they are not included here. And if paracord works, then I would also recommend it for attaching the stake to the ground. Those dd's own strings that come with the tarp are such bad tangled pieces, yes you know. I also prefer aluminum tent pegs. Of course, the string that comes with the set can also be used for everything like this, there are 15 meters of it here, which is enough. But it's quite thick and stiff and works well as a ridgeline itself. I've just made everything else out of paracord.
In addition, one extra that I added here was dd's own sleeve xl. Bigger model because I now carry the hammock itself and the uq attached to it in the same package. I travel with this set on a bike, and this way you save yourself from too much adjustment when you have first pedaled the bike for a hundred kilometers, and I don't care about the extra loosening. I recommend! The only negative here is that it's quite difficult to get this package into a small space without a bigger compression bag, which means that there will still be enough extra wear if there are space restrictions in the same way as a bike tourer (I carry this set in a saddle bag).
Good crank.

Everything you need for hammocking and cheaper than buying individually. I myself have been wearing the same clothes for several years, and I have not felt the need to change any part of the package. The wife started wanting to join in, so this set was perfect for someone who didn't yet have any accessories for hammock camping.

A good set of hangers, but due to the weight I would recommend candidate candidates to consider assembling their own set on the bottom of the DD superlight hammock and tarp. The price difference will not be unreasonable because the superlight includes mounting accessories and on the other hand there will be a significant saving in weight and space.
