Hammocks

About

A good hammock is one of the fastest ways to get off the wet ground on a wild camp or bushcraft trip. We stock DD Hammocks and military-style hammocks built for durability, plus the straps, tarps and bug nets to go with them. Choosing a hammock Fabric — ripstop nylon packs small and dries fast; heavier canvas styles suit static or base-camp use. Weight rating — check the rated capacity against your own weight plus kit if you're hanging it loaded. Straps — tree-friendly webbing straps spread the load and won't damage bark, unlike rope or cord. Frequently asked questions Do I need a tarp with a hammock? Yes for any UK wild camp — a tarp pitched above the hammock keeps rain off; most hammocks alone aren't waterproof. What weight can a hammock hold? Most DD and military-style hammocks are rated 200kg-plus, comfortably covering one person plus kit. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need a tarp with a hammock?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes for any UK wild camp — a tarp pitched above the hammock keeps rain off; most hammocks alone aren't waterproof."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What weight can a hammock hold?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most DD and military-style hammocks are rated 200kg-plus, comfortably covering one person plus kit."}}]}
