Greetings All,
I have a question for those of you that have a longer history with DD hammocks than myself. I now have two DD Frontline hammock, both I acquired used. One I've had for awhile and used several times and really like it. I just traded for another for my son. My question is this, the first one I got has four eyelets down each side, three toward one end and one on the other end ( I supposed that they were there to mount the DD under blanket to). The frontline that I just got has no eyelets but other wise the same. Is this a feature on a newer model or perhaps a mod?
Thx,
Semo

I have had my FL for two years. No eyelets, never heard of FL having them. Mine Does have web loop at each corner I use to attach UQ.

When I owned a Frontline I put some eyelets on each side to give me a way to tie out the sides - kinda like a Warbonnet Blackbird.
If yours also has some added velcro to keep the double layers closed better and some camo arrow shafts for bugnet spreaders maybe you have mine. :)
Or, maybe someone did a mod to your Frontline as well.

Yes Passinthru, it did have camo arrow shafts. I bought it off the forums here, it was probably yours then. At least I know the history of the eyelets lol. Did guying it out in an asymmetrical shape make it better? Even though I like the lay I get in it just fine.

If I remember correctly I don't think I ever used the eyelets. I didn't want the extra lines to mess with and the hammock was comfortable without any changes. I just have this problem that I think I have to 'improve' things.

Lol I completely understand, I'm the same way. My hiking buddy calls me the modifier
