Hello, hammock campers, you big bunch of weirdos here. Come on a minute, you know you're weird hanging around in trees while all those normal people are sleeping on the ground and tense. Well, lucky for you, I'm here to show you how to use the day-day jungle hammock. This is the super light jungle hammock as a ground dwelling. So you too can feel normal. Aren't you glad I came along? The first step when making a camp on the ground is to clear the ground of debris and anything that mines puncture your gear or cause you an uncomfortable night's sleep. You wouldn't have to do that hanging from a tree, would you? But hey, ho, let's get going. You also notice that I have mud stains on my knees. That's something you miss out on as a hammock camper. If you want to feel normal, camp on the ground, snail on the ground, ruin your clothes. Alright, let's keep going. Okay, so I've got DD's modular super light jungle hammock here. It usually comes with the waterproof layer on the bottom, which is where you need it for ground camping. Although I advise having a spare that you can also put on the top in case it rains. I've been using this as a hammock because I'm a weirdo like you guys. So the layer, the waterproof layer is coating on the top, but you'll get the idea. I'll set it up and I'll show you how it works anyways. It's pretty straightforward. Here's the instructions you get in the pack, by the way. I think I mentioned them in my last video. Full of handy hints and tips. It's about three sides of a fork, right? These guys really care about you. Trees straps will need them. Ten poles. We will need these because we're trying to be tentative. And here's the rest of the gear coming out now. Pull that with my tree straps. Okay, so it's pretty straightforward. Keep these to one side for the moment. Find one end, separate it from the other end. And then shake it out. Difficult in the wind. Again, not a problem with the hammock. You may need to put something down if it's windy like it is today to wait it, like those other normal people do. Or alternatively, you could just hang from a tree, but we'll stick to the plan. So I should have brought tent pegs with me. They don't come in the super light kit, but they do come deities other kits. But I forgot to bring them, so you're just going to have to imagine. Imagine that you're putting a stake through there and fixing it here. And imagine that you're putting a stake through there, the outermost nubbing. I don't know what you call that, grommet. Outermost grommet. Putting it through there. And we do the same on the other side. And then you get your tent poles. Set them up the same way you would. So it forms a nice arch. And you push it through the same channels as you would if you were having camping, like a widow. Now it's going to be less easy to see what I'm doing because I've put that water proof layer on the top. So I'm just going to shift that around so you can see what's going on. And then you would clip this through the inner of the two grommets. So you're pegging the outer one, you're arching the inner one, and that happens on both sides. I mean this is the ultimate in no trace camping, don't you think? Okay, so same deal. It threads through the channel. I'm sorry to make you watch this, but you know, I haven't already set one up. This is my very first time saying it up. I'm just showing you how easy it's going to be. So I might get it wrong. Again, this water proof layer should be on the bottom because this is a very thin super light layer. You want something else under there. It goes into the innermost grommet on this side and the same on this side. So now you've got your two arches and your legs pinned out. So you've got stakes in the outer most grommet, your legs, your innermost grommet, your nice arch. And you just need to get some more stakes and pin them through. Remember when we set up the jungle hammock, you tie some elastic from the middle tab here out to the suspension. Well, you want to tie that out to a stake instead. On my other jungle hammock, what I've done is replace this knot with a carabiner, which makes it really easy to use on the ground or in a tree. But because I've only had this a few days, I haven't done that. But the basic idea is to pin it out and peg it out. And once you've got that, let me just get rid of this water proof layer. You can see that it's really quite spacious. Do you see what I mean? Okay, I felt bad there. I wasn't prepared. I didn't have any stakes. So I've turned some of the debris on the ground into stakes and set it up for you to see. Have a look. Ta-da! I've switched the waterproof layer underneath because I am worried about puncturing that super light thin layer. But obviously, you want to bring a spare with you to cover you over the top as well. Not entirely necessary when you have a coming. You just need one top, either one of these layers, if it's like rain or just a proper top. So there you go. It's pretty straightforward. Getting in and out. I'll show you. With it being not having a proper door, you do have to scramble around and ruin all your clothes. It is a hammock, after all, not a tent. I'm about 5'8". And I fit in quite comfortably. There's a double layer on the bottom of this super light jungle hammock. So you can fit your camping mattress in between those layers or just put it in here with you and pop your bag down by your feet. And if it's a nice day like today, this is a far better view than you get from a tent. And if it's not, then just hire your spare waterproof layer over the top. Put your head down and get some sleep. I'm browsing from the cocoon. I still prefer to be weird and sleep from a tree. I know it's not always the most comfortable thing and sometimes you have to fast-round try to find the right pitch and you're and diagonal and all the rest of it. But when you get it right, it's amazing. This is never going to be amazing. I don't know. It's just tent camping. It's not, I don't know, maybe unbiased. But there you go. This can be used on the ground as a quick bivvy slash tent. It can be used in the trees as a hammock. This slash looks serious, modular, jungle, getaway. So I really like it and I hope you do too. Alright, that's a wrap. Just real quick, here's another great reason not to sleep on the ground. These are all ants. Look at that, there's loads of them. I think it will buries us something. I appear to have stumbled upon an ant sleep over. So I think I shall move on to a tree. I'm going to have to stop because it's a plate coming over. So I really should have come more prepared. Yeah. I'm browsing from the cocoon.
