Another DD hammock

[ratcatcher]

having bought a couple of DD hammocks and tarps for me and the mrs months ago, we had our first camping session at the woods a month or so ago, stupidly when we bought the sleeping bags, I didn't bother to get in it and try for size, I mean us blokes just hold it up and say, that'll fit don't we.....

anyway of setting up and getting in for the night, I found that the mummy type bag was a big mistake, apart from pinning my feet together, it was way too short, and only came upto my armpits, thankfully the weather back then was the heat wave, so I mustered through the night, was bloody freezing though come 5am,

so back to "go outdoors" in lakeside, new square type bag, which I actually tried out in the shop, sorted, I then made this quick video of my set up in the garden

we then had another camp out a couple of weeks back, the new bag got the thumbs up from me, 100% perfect fit, and the fact that it started hammering it down at 2am I was as snug as a bug in a rug

As long as you have learnt from you mistake and have enjoyed it that is good, I have done a similar thing but was issued with a normal size thinking it would fit as being 5' 11" tall but no it was not long enough and in the end used it like a duvet till I got back to camp and managed to exchange it for a bigger size I did not care that the zip was broke as most of the time we did not zip them up, I did get a new zip put into it at a later date though.

Turn the mummy bag into an underquilt.
Great for the winter.
