I don't understand why you have two lines for the tarp under AND over, especially as youve said cord going under brings in the rain in extreme weather. Also why do you keep it in a waterproof container instead of a net or something to help it dry and breathe? Especially as it's in a water resistant sheath. Thanks for sharing to the community
The tarp has only one length of paracord and is floating. The other line is for the hammock at that end. There is another line attached to the other end of the hammock. The ones attached to the hammock are for tying it to the trees either end. Hope that helps.
@@hArtyTruffle thanks but I suppose I'm at fault for not phrasing well-iv'e always had difficulty with words. So I don't understand what the tarp is doing pulled towards and onto the hammock suspension, as it's already pulled on its own suspension line. I believe it was explained here as a way to have everything deployed as one, though I can't fathom how it would dry if covered-baring in mind not many do let things dry in the morning if possible-otherwise through the day if a dry patch comes along, I'm fairly sure. On the occasion it can be deployed dry and as one, it shouldn't need much tinkering or at all...but, paracord is stretchy so any damp would come through onto the hammock when not in use (weighted down and away), also a hammock should he hung at an angle rather than straight with an unfathomable strength needed-straining the tree even if using tree huggers which spread the weight more. Unless I observed wrong, in this setup there should be one singular main suspension or tether with the tarp attached to that, as Derrek hensen at the Ultimate hang shows in a great video-the right hang angle means there's less force on the rigging and tree while the hammock hangs off partly its own main suspension and then kind of partly on the tarps suspension mid way. It's really hard for me to convey hut it's ok, I probably seem pedantic :)
@@clevelandexplorer2221 I’m assuming that in a military scenario, it might not always be possible to fully dry the tarp, and that the moving on right then might be necessary. Once another suitable place is reached, later on that same day ideally, it may have the time to dry out before sleep time. But the way the hammock is being wrapped inside the tarp here, it would seem only the tarp might remain wet for a while and the hammock maybe only slightly damp. If there was a little time, I’m sure wiping down the tarp on the outside would make it a little less wet.
fantastic the DD hamocks and tarps are really good quality just as good as army basha,thanks for uploading this video takecare and be safe.....col.
@Burletonboy cheers. I bought a set ages ago after I found them on your website.

Neat system but surely if your tarp is wet when you pack away your hammock will be soaked too???
Paul Zenon. Decent video 👍🏽
The 'socks' idea is great... do you sell them separately @ RVOps?
Could you use this system with the dd travel hammock, as the hammock is hung by webbing?
Excellent Vid.
All the best things come from Edinburgh :O)
Do you sell the Skins separately?
It`s a rip off !!!
