    A video review of the 2012 Frontline Hammock from DD Hammocks.

    Hi all

    Just to let you all know, I have been lucky enough to have been given one of the new 2012 edition of the Frontline Hammock by DD Hammocks.

    Although I state it at the start of this video, I would like to reiterate it here that even though I have been given this hammock by Nick from DD Hammocks to review and keep for free, I feel very uneasy about getting free kit. I dont think that reviewing stuff one has got for free gives a fair and accurate view of the product.

    I have no links whatsoever to DD Hammocks and I dont sell these hammocks anywhere, and in the interests of openess, honesty and professionalism I have donated the full retail price (£49) to the Help for Heroes charity which for reasons I wont go into here, I have a very strong connection with.

    Anyway, here it is, I hope that you enjoy it.



    All the best
    Adrian

    Adrian, this is another helpful and informative video
    ... but not so helpful, I feel able to resist the temptation to participate in the DD group buy

    It is not a question of if I will buy one, just a matter of when

    Random off on a tangent question, at the minute I'm looking for a decent pair of walking and bushy pants, what are the ones you are wearing in this video?

    Cheers,

    Colin

    Hi Rich

    Yep I reckon that there would still be loads of room, as i said in the video there is loads of spare material at the ends that would ordinarily be gathered up and even with a 'biner mod it should still be ok.

    Hi colin

    Thanks for the comment mate, the trousers are called "Haglofs Rugged Mountain Pants", great pants but cost a bloomin' fortune. I only earn minimum wage and had to save, beg, borrow, steal and talk to SWMBO very nicely before I got them.

    Cool review
    CLAP clearly loudly, as an order, with pauses

    If you used two krabs per end (as I used to do) you could have the first krab completely the loop near to the hammock material, that way you could just undo the krab to undo the loop and allow you to free up the material, hope that made sense

    so remove the loop with the first krab (hammock end) and re-thread to hang it?

    thanks guys
