    Wiltshire Woods, DD Hammock Camp Setup

    Early October 2025

    Here is the YouTube link to the kit video of everything I took with me, including a quick look at my DD Hammock Setup: Simple kit setup

    There was no shortage of trees for a hammock, along with plenty of flat ground suitable for tents or bivis.

    During the early evening I heard distant voices of people walking along…

    Forest Hammock Camp, Dorset | DD Hammock Camp

    Early May 2025

    I headed to an area that looked like it had plenty of potential hammock camping spots for my first one of the year.

    I spent the afternoon wandering, and there was so much to see in the area. I visited the Hell Stone Dolmen while on the way. It’s definitely worth a visit. It’s not particularly hard to find, but it is…

      A Small Woodland, Dorset

      Hethfelton Woods, Wool, Dorset

      Late June 2024

      This place is a hidden gem.

      I saw this woodland on Google maps and I couldn’t find much information about the place.

      It was lovely and peaceful. I didn’t see anyone the whole time and there were no cars in the small car park as I entered in the…

      Woodland, Dorset | DD Hammock Camp

      Early June 2024

      This was my first hammock camp in about 30 years and I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to doing some more. It will take me a few more camps for me to refine the art of setting up the hammock and getting things right.

      I made the mistake of looking for that perfect spot and a…
