Why would anybody want to do that to their gallery? Horrible, terrible, and miserable hammock it is. It's the only hammock I've ever bad-mouthed and I still stand by my statements all these months later. Even by "Big Lots" standards, that thing is junk IMO.

Haha, so it's that bad.
Makes me almost want one

And i still think, pics of it would be nice

DD is a UK product, right ?

I actually thought I had a couple of pics in my gallery, but I guess I was so disgusted at the time that I never took a picture. Basically, it looks like an ENO with attached netting. I've got some folks coming over this weekend for some hammock demos. I'll try to set it up and get you a pic, but I'm using a throw-away camera.

Yes, DDs are made in the UK. I suspect that's part of the reason they aren't as popular here since HF is still mainly made up of Americans and the shipping from there to here is painful. Some other companies will call their product "promotional materials" to avoid all the import/export fees and save you some shipping. DD Hammocks are a bit more expensive because of the shipping, but at least I know they're playing by the rules.

I discovered I have one of these recently. I thought I would be able to put an internal ridgeline to support the netting. The netting is weird and looks fragile. I don't concider it a serious camping hammock.

Beyond the lack of quality construction (it's terrible really) it also is not a comfortable hammock for a grown-up. The side panels of fabric are wider than the ENO, TrekLight, TTTM, etc hammocks. This causes a diagonal sleeper to lay right on top of a thick seam, which IMO, is not at all comfortable.

For a child, I think this would be a good hammock as long as it's understood that the hammock will likely not live very long due to its construction and the destructive forces that civilized society calls "children".

I own 3. Got 3 delivered to my door for 40 bucks. They have all been one-use hammocks before they needed repair. Such delicate fabric, and really poor construction. They DID get me into the hobby though..

That said, these are now officially off the face of the earth. I don't think you'll find them anywhere, any more.
