Both
types of hammock come with their own stuff-sack and webbing. The difference
between the two is that the Travel Hammock has built in fine fly-net to stop
insects and midges. The camping hammock has no netting, but it does
have plenty of material and can be zipped up to create a full cocoon style
hammock
as shown below:
These hammocks are a lovely way to camp,
allowing you to rest above the ground and be immersed in nature giving you the
best view of the woods. If you know it will be dry you can use the hammock on
its own, however if its going to be wet or you plan to stay for a number of days
it would be best to use a Tarp in conjunction with your hammock. DD Hammocks
also produce tarps. I have both a camping & travel hammock but with them I
personally use a Tatonka tarp (Tarp 2TC Cotton Polyester mix). As of yet there's
no significant reason why I use a Tatonka one as oppose a DD Hammock one, I have
only recently received my first DD Tarp, I haven't had a chance to use
it yet, but it does seem a little heavier.
Webbing Versions (2008 & Previous)
The darker webbing pictured ontop is the new 2008 webbing
which is supposedly stronger and stretches less than the previous webbing
pictured on the bottom. I have recently been using my new Travel Hammock in a
spruce/pine wood and have found the webbing to snag and fray with ground debris
when pitching, now im not one who worries to much about the appearance of my kit
but im guessing the fraying could affect the integrity of the webbing with
continued use in those conditions.
