- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- viewers i leave this to you to make your own mind up about the difference between DD front line hammock and snugpak jungle hammock .
Let me know your thoughts please
I prefer the dd as it has the double bottom that you can put a karrimat / thermarest in for comfort also you can use it on the ground as a bivvy bag. The black midge net is also better for looking through than the green version .
Snugpak Jungle Hammock holds 180kg All DD Hammocks hold 125kg. Always use shock cord for the net suspension.
I have both hammocks.
Yes. Jungle all the way!
How could you applaud a weaker, heavier and bigger pack?? Only for it's black and with poles? MG.
Paul Bisseker Bushcraft on that 550 cord suspension there is no way that’s good for 180 kg except under the most favorable of conditions, which a real world user won’t always manage to create.
DD’s hammocks don’t break at 130 kilos, they just don’t warrant them for higher weights.
I have sungpack, for me work well, very comfortable, no issues. Good vid. Tks for sharing
Great video! I personally use the DD Travel/Bivi Hammock however haven't owned the Snugpak. (Outdoor World)
One thing about the DD is those tree cords allow water to run into the hammock. This is a major downside. These can be swapped out, but sometimes to be aware of
Great information man, I really enjoyed this video brother. The DD seemed to look better and had a lot of the kinks figured out. TFS!
Kevin's Adventures hey Kevin what's up youngman
You should test out the frontline Xl.. Good video 👍
For me the mossie net on the Snugpak is a weak point, particularly where the hanging loops are sewn. Looks like a split waiting to happen.
I also think you need to adjust you audio levels mate, your vocals are very quiet. Keep the content coming though, great channel.
Ive got a hammock very similar to the snug pack but on the first use the bug net ripped and left a 2 inch hole so was not impressed but my DD hammock has never let me down, sturdy and well made.... its DD all the way for me..atb...jeff.
I have a £17 hammock from eBay it has alot more than both or those hammocks put together with poles pockets and a very strong fly net with reinforcement's my only problem is that it has no name so i can't tell people which hammock it is I can only say that you will find it on eBay you can get 2 for £30 you can't lose.
doe it have the double wall underneath for your pad/insulation like the DD does?
micky2manyhobbies the double layer is great for the self Inflating mat
You get what you pay for if I'm honest... DD are on the lower end but their products are good for the value!
I've gone from the frontline to the WBBB XLC
I am think I will be getting the dd frontline hammock as go me I think it will offer more space.
Useful video. Trying to decide between these two myself. DD seems to win it, but I do like the pack size of the Snugpak. Cheers.
since i allready own a frontline i choose that one, i have been very pleased with it so far, i did also install whoopie slings on it tho.
cyclist james or I seen it now.. Sorry mate
I think the deciding factor is this, do you like a little stretch in the fabric of the hammock?choose the snugpak. Do you like a firm non stretchable material? Go with the DD. I find the parachute silk of my tropical hammock has a little stretch and its different. I don't mind it.
I prefer the DD one, but have never used one, yet!
Good no-nonsense vid. Thanks.
that was a good review, you let the browser make the decision on what you told them. pluses and minuses to everything!
Hi Dan, my choice would be the DD frontline Hammock
Hi, Great video.
I would like to see a comparison video between the Frontline and the One Tigris hammock. Both around the same price and similar design.
Cheers Dan.
Might fancy a hammock , depends if I’d use it ..we,l see .. cheers buddy cheers Chris & Sam
if i was to pick i would say the dd hammoks are better
inside the second layer, another Bum could sleep, which makes the frontline a full grown 2. Person hammock
I recently purchased the DD Frontline Hammock to replace my DD Camping Hammock. Nothing wrong with the Camping Hammock but it doesn't have the protective mesh. You cannot fault DD products.
What one do you prefer now you've got both ? I'm trying to decide which one to buy. I don't like the idea of protective mesh being attached all the time with the FL, not allowing you to have a ridgeline in place.
Norman Cook DD hammocks mate
I was referring to the DD camping and DD Frontline, which Norman Cook mentioned :)
If you have any experience with the DD camping, could you shed some light ?
Thanks
Norman Cook take at look at my videos mate I use all the DD hammock equipment. I am out today making a DD hammocks sleep mat review video
The pack size of the dd is much bigger! Is it possible that it will squash down more to a similar size as the snug pak?
dd all day long for the money you can't fault it if memory serves me right you can get the dd hammock under blanket and 3x3 tarp for the price of the snugpak
Also, 550 Paracord as a suspension system? And especially as the tree straps? What is this, the 1990s?
I mean, the DD webbing is already pretty primitive but 550 is both weak and stretchy. Sure, you’re doubling it up but you’re also putting knots in it that halve the strength. So you get roughly 500 pounds of strength, which with geometry (and especially if you accidentally get a tight hang at a straighter angle than 30 degrees) and your maximum breaking strength is gonna be around 120-180kg - which a normal person can reach with a bit of bouncing.
And then there’s the tree damage.
On the plus side it’s pretty light and super cheap to replace, but...
Look into whoopie sling/tree hugger suspension, makes life so much easier
I guess you prefer the DD, as do I 👍🏼
Hi healing Hart,
I wish I still has this dd hammock,
@@englishwoodsman what happened to it?
I myself use the front line, and have had no problems at all but I will be heading across to tw 3 layer hammock, price size and quality wins every time over dd,, great vid but have a look at the tw it's awesome atb mike
Looks like TW have packed it in, only a few products left on their website.
Thanks for the comparison. Atb.
Thank you for the video, you helped to decide between the two hammock. Thanks a lot :beer :beer :)
DD frontline goes without saying my friend good vid tho
Snugpack sleeping bag but 100% dd hammock!
Good video . I own both and have used both out in the dirt . For me All I will say is The DD Frontline is in my Bushcraft/ Outdoors ruck and the Snugpak got put in my Bugout/Survival which I like to call my JustInCase ruck .... my choice should be self explanatory !!!
magic video mate
+Mark Bennett Thankyou mate,, thanks for watching
thanks for the video! :-)
Hey I'm in Essex and dd is the way to go and I'm looking for a British army artic bag to complete my kit . Where are you in this green land , ps just subbed
todd parnaby he is in Bradford woods
I like the DD one better good review. EWM
Thankyou mate I had the DD Frontline hammock and loved it let a mate use it and he ruined it,
@@englishwoodsman he should replace.
@@SonofChurchill he blocked me on everything, I have not seen him for 3 YEARS
@@englishwoodsman He not a mate and knows he done wrong. You don't need people like that in life. I shielding buying bits bit by bit have been to local wood had no backpack so used two blue Ikea bags. 😁
Defo the frontline out of them 2 Dan it's a better build n everything. it will out last the snugpak easy .atb Daz
the net on the snugpac isnt all that great.i ripped two of the loops out & put a massive tear down the side of it on a couple of camps.DO NOT USE PARACORD TO SUSPEND THE NET.school boy error hey lol.also,because its single skinned,any mat in that one slides around too much to be of any use,or so i found.i havent been out in the frontline yet but hope to soon.enjoy watching your vids btw.some good content
Thanks for the comparison but you're killing the tree by using thin cord with the snug pack! Plse use tree hugers.
are these videos suppose to be funny even helped us count to 4 I'm in stitches
+cazsmokinnn funny??? I just try to make a good interesting video mate
Wow, you need to do something a bout the terrible audio. I have a Snugpak Jungle.
Hi mate yes sorry about that terrible audio that camera was a load of ---- ,
DD for me straight up no messing around with midge net or anything :)
+anthony lyons i just love dd hammocks my self mate ...thankyou you for watching and taking the time to comments
