Hi Guys,
I'm just thinking about potential modifications to make to the DD hammock systems to make them a little bit more to my taste and just wanted to find out if anyone had done anything similar.
first of all let me describe my idea then you can tear it to shreds! basically trying to make a hennessay hammock style set up with the stuff I already have!
I've added line lockers to the 4 corners of my tarp to enable quick deploy...works a treat, all set up within 50 seconds!
I was thinking would it be possible to add a structural ridgeline to the hammock meaning you can pull the whole thing tight, then clip a DD Tarp to your hammock whoopee slings, since the suspension is already taught due to the hammock ridgeline it wont "sag" when you get in the hammock meaning the tarp and hammock are all one system (kind of like the hennessay expedition set up?) hope that makes sense?
Finally, you could get snakeskins to go over both the tarp and hammock (I've not got the DD ones but do you think they'd be big enough to get both in?meaning when you turn up, you just bang on your tree huggers, clip up the 2 whoopee slings, then unfold the skins and your hammock and tarp are all in one set up, peg out your 4 corners and your done!
Thoughts?
Cheers
