Hey Flavio, While most of the world sleeps in hammocks as you have portayed in the link below, that is not how camping hammocks are intended to be used. Most,...
I have just got my second DD hamock (2008 version)) It comes complete with a sewn in fly net. I was thinking of using a home made spreader bar as I find I dont...

Tom: I'd like to give you a heads up on that Jungle model. On the two I own, it seems like the body is waterproofed and the tarp is only water resistant. My...
