The DD Hammocks Scout Hammock is designed for weight-conscious backpackers and campers seeking a versatile, lightweight sleeping solution. Its primary benefit is the unique dual-layered design that allows for both enhanced ventilation and insulation customization, though its height restriction makes it unsuitable for individuals taller than 6ft (182cm). Weighing just 500g, this compact hammock includes everything needed for an immediate setup in the wilderness.

The Scout Hammock is designed for individuals up to 6ft (182cm) tall.
Yes, but the double-layer design specifically allows you to slide a mat between the layers, which is often more convenient than an underquilt for this specific model.
No, the fabric is breathable, not waterproof. You should pair this with a tarp if you expect rain.
The hammock and suspension system weigh approximately 500g in total.
The product includes 8m of suspension webbing. You may want to add your own carabiners for faster setup, but they are not strictly required if you use knots.
Ensure the suspension webbing is adjusted to an equal length on both sides and that the anchor trees are of similar strength.
Insert an insulation mat or sleeping pad between the two layers to create a thermal barrier.
Re-check your knot integrity or ensure the webbing is wrapped snugly against the bark without overlapping itself too much.
Setting up the Scout Hammock involves securing the provided 8m webbing around two anchor points and using a secure knot or carabiner system to attach the hammock ends. Ensure the hammock sits at approximately a 30-degree angle for the most comfortable lay. Regarding care, always ensure the hammock is completely dry before storing it in the stuff sack to prevent mildew. If it becomes soiled, hand wash it in cool water using mild soap and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. It is compatible with most standard tarp systems if you require rain protection, as the hammock itself is an open-top design.
