Product Review - DD Pack
Hi it’s Shaun from Silver Fox Bushcraft and this is going to be a video review on the DD hammocks. In particular, what I’ve got on DD hammocks website, you can purchase something called DD Pack and this is a pack. To be fair it’s a fairly basic rucksack, it’s very large, there’s no frame to it and but it’s not a bad rucksack. So this is the first thing you can get in the kit. So you get the DD Pack.
This Rucksack has one large opening in the center, it has a drawer string to close the lit top up and it has a late with two large compassion straps on it. On the outside of this pack again you get three fairly large pockets. One on each side and one on the front.
On the sides of these pockets we’ll say there are straps protection and extra knots are put aside. On the rear of this pack there is a water for your sleeve place this on the back. Okay so that’s the pack, so when I got through and shade the contents what you get in this pack. You get the DD 3x3 meter top.
You get the DD travel hammock, you get the DD net hammock, DD silk sleeping bag liner, you get two extra bundles of the nylon ribbon that is trying to retrace and you get a little with so and just put into it a compose on one side and a thermometer on the other side. Now something else you get in the daily pack is you get this t-shirt it is quite nice lime olive green color as you can see from the background is quite a good plain with the trees as DD log on the front and also across the back.
So what I’m going to do now is I’ll set the hammock up and we’ll show you the features of the hammock then we’ll put the tap up and I’ll show you the net hammock as well. Okay so when you set in your hammock cap you pass the two ends of these ties around the tree. Hold your hammock tight and then to secure that the conventional bough.
Put the hammock sets up now this is in it’s simplest form just read up within two trees there is some minute so there you go our nice and secure. If you need to within the day you can read the hammock cap like so and we get ourselves a chair when you sit around the campfire. Now this hammock owes us among extra features, the material itself is waterproof and say I’m got worry about t his kit on the ground, there is an inner sleeve on the hammock which is secured with Velcro. So you can insert into this area things like your Thermarest or your roll mat and blankets and anything to give you extra insulation when you are using during the winter.
Also on this hammock, it has a built in mosquito net with a very, very fine mesh. So what we going to do now is I’m going to set up say how to set them the mosquito net up and do that in a second. Now, what we’ve done we’ve put up a reach line and using this the elastic of combo touch to the end of mosquito net through this fiber link to the ends of this mosquito net on each end. There’s really sense one we detach it to the top guide right and into the head ends of this first stick through to the wholes just getting more head ring.
The same can be done for the end as well. That is mosquito net comes with taboo zippers so you can open it from either direction and these zips also on the handle on the inside. So you have to open up and you can zip it up when you insert the hammock. Now the fact that the mosquito net is attach by elastic or bondage when you get in a no over the weight goes down the top fault line of the top of each line and each line of the top is still toward but when you get your weight in the hammock the elastic stretches and on top we put too much strange for the mosquito net.
So again our jumping can show you this, you connect you a very good visibility when you inside and can come out. It’s not photophobic and in this slide is. Okay we put everything set up now so we put the hammock to the mosquito net and up. We got a large 3 meters by 3 meter top set up and I’ve left the front open and always you can see me about no way at night and full of front down to put the way is at the back and to show yourself in the wind and the rain and then underneath here I’ll put my the net hammock and the reason I put up on the day is putting it up somewhere off the ground where I can stole my cloth and my rucksack and food and anything about off the ground and see it’s underneath my hammock.
And when I get in as you see it’s still away from but if a needing then I can access it. Spanks guys this is Shaun from Silver Fox Bushcraft and that’s my review on the DD Pack.
