DD Hammocks TARP: Can I DESTROY it?

[@GruntProof]

DD Hammocks have an excellent Tarp! Do you have a review suggestion? Let me know below!

[@benjaminwright5936]

Can we get a Grunt Proof swing set test and review?

[@GruntProof]

Mine is definitely not grunt proof!

[@benjaminwright5936]

@@GruntProof lol, thought the way you connected the swings to the cross member was really ingenious and appears to allow you with relative ease switch out the swings as the children age up or whimsy dictates. Nicely done. :)

[@GruntProof]

Thanks. We have all kinds of attachments for it so that helps to change quickly

[@MokuNui808]

You have tested both arcturus "survival blankets" what about their military style poncho?

[@paulc245]

Used my DD tarp in the UK for nearly a year now in Dartmoor national park in all weathers, never let me down. Superb bit of kit. Great videos by the way. Thanks for making the effort.

[@baron7024]

I went with the 4x4 as I have a need to cover a vehicle. Tying off to the roof rack and covering the roof for sun protection. The remainder should make a nice awning. This tarp is well reinforced at all the tie downs and the ridge line. Should make an awesome shelter. Your review led me to getting this tarp. Thanks and stay safe.

[@taylordavis9170]

Thanks for the content. Your videos are very interesting and I could watch them for hours. Your videos have inspired me to do some camping on my own. Thank you for the videos and being an inspiration to many.

[@GruntProof]

Awesome!!

[@B-leafer]

I love mine... Thanks Survival Lilly for the heads up on it. Grunt-proof adds an additional level of confirmation. This is a great product.

[@scottfergusson8411]

Aqua quest tarps are very good too . Will check this one out .

[@waveyism]

Thank you! Ready to take on Alaska now!

[@Jason-iz6ob]

I have the exact same tarp. Judging by how old this video is we probably even bought them around the same time if you’ve tested it over a year. Mine hasn’t been through nearly as much. But I still love it.

[@TheVikingSasquatch]

So I already bought it but would love to see a grunt proof review of the frontline xl hammock.

[@joeltaylor2830]

I got the 3x3 multicam and found slipping a knot up against the weak-springed buckle on the stuff-sack helps, unless speed is a real issue, but otherwise, the quality is a no-brainer for the cash.

[@GruntProof]

Great! Yea I do that as well

[@EdwinDekker71]

I was already happy with my DD 3X3, now I'm even happier with it, thanks

[@Corvid]

5:02 Music to my fucking ears! The humour in using Intermission in that way is absolutely stellar 😆 Ixnay on the Hombre. Just added to my tabbing playlist! (If you're Bri'ish, rucking is either "yomping", "tabbing" or "speed-marching", depending on how much weight you're carrying and how fast you're going). Honestly, I quite like rucking as a word, I'm gonna start using that!)

[@abandonedotter4270]

I just recieved two of the Frontline hammocks. . One fir my son and myself. They are definitely made of good materials. The zippers were fairly solid and the tie offs seem strong. I bought the jungle camo version. Meshes well enough with midwest foliage. The fact it has pop up capabilities is a big plus and its roomier than the USMC bivy. It doesnt have the bucket though so wet weather could be an issue if deployed on the ground without a tarp. Looking at acquiring some of their covers now but I have 5 or so USMC field covers I can use. The mylar on these is a big draw though.

[@jeffrichards5106]

Thanks for the video and test Randall. Would like to get one of those tarps. A while back I see a DD shelter tarp with an optional screen enclosure inner which I was considering as a very lightweight bugproof shelter. That was almost 2 yrs ago when I seen it on the Self Reliance Outfitters website. Didn't know they offered other tarps.👍

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

DD frontline hammocks are great for camping when there's midges and mosquitoes, I've used mine in Wales and Scotland.

[@hiramhaji7813]

Solid tarp I’ve had mine for 5 years now

[@baron7024]

I've had this tarp in 4x4 for a about a month. Except for taking a razor to it or dousing in gas and lighting it off it's stood up to all the abuse I can come up with. DD should have them independently tested and a hurricane category designation figured out. Keep up the no BS reviews.

[@GruntProof]

I've put mine up in 60 MPH winds!

[@neil_castell]

had a couple of these, they are very good, ... i use one in a storm with a center pole and did have a little bit of stretching, but to be honest i didnt expect it to last the night and have seen military ponchos destroyed in similar conditions, When my current tarp is due to be replaced i plan to get another DD Tarp.

[@GruntProof]

If only the issued poncho was a bit bigger... Thanks!

[@torsten4757]

Hallo Randall, Ich kann dir nur zustimmen, meiner Erfahrung nach sind die Sachen von DD Hammocks wirklich gut. Auch der Preis ist ok. Und das Multicam passt wunderbar hier in unsere deutschen Mischwälder :) Tolle Videoserie, freue mich auf mehr davon!! Schöne Grüße Torsten

[@GruntProof]

Ei jo!

[@gerdymanos9571]

I got two of these tarps. They are really good for the price. Love them

[@Gaddman100]

I have there 3x3 and there XL one to use with my dd xl hammock. Good solid gear👍🏻

[@canadafree2087]

Love the T-shirt! I've been lookin at DD for a square tarp for a plough point set up (just one tree attachment). DD's multi-cam seems to be a bastard child of DPM and Flectarn lol. If you want a monster cord lock check out the flat Finnish army cord locks at Varusteleka (also a DD tarp retailer if you can't find them on Amazon).

[@GruntProof]

Cool thanks!

[@chipchaffee2416]

Another no B.S review , thanks just got mine today. Can’t wait to try it out . Thanks

[@GruntProof]

Thanks! You'll love it

[@priceisright7751]

Review the Harbor freight hammock!

[@jeffrichards5106]

Hey Randall, I was wondering if I used the M.S.S. Patrol bag, woobie and slept in the GI waffle top and bottoms if I would be comfortable below freezing? I know the Patrol Bag is supposed to be rated to 30 degrees. Plus I would be using this in a tent. Trying to figure out ways to reduce weight and increase compactness for cold weather.

[@GruntProof]

That would definitely be too cold for me, but I know guys that can do that. It depends on your tent and how warm you sleep. I do have an interesting test for this winter that goes along those lines.

[@jeffrichards5106]

@@GruntProof Thanks Randall. Look forward to your test video.

[@edwardgrace6310]

How does the Tarp look under nightvision? Is it IRR resistant?

[@indycharlie]

Very nice review , and tarp .

[@Flashahol]

Got this review late as I already received mine and can't wait to get to use it! Good to know it will last...

[@welshboyoo715]

They are a great tarp, I have had mine a couple of years now, and it still performs as new. They are available in a few different sizes if you want something smaller, but I like the room for kit under mine. Are you planning on reviewing any hiking boots? Like as in a long use grunt proof fashion! Greets from sunny Wales, Dave G.

[@GruntProof]

Thanks man. I have a larger DD Tarp that i use in CA. Can't complain. I will def do boots, as I plan to grow grunt proof big time!

[@ChrisC30]

I keep mine in a multicam MOLLE II waist pack. It fits with room to spare. Not that the sack it comes in is trash, I just like the buttpack better because I can do more with it.

[@marctlm3636]

@gruntproof would you say that the DD super light tarp is as grunt proof as the regular tarp that you reviewed?

[@GruntProof]

Yea it's great

[@marctlm3636]

@@GruntProofawesome thank you so much!

[@blindsurvivor4018]

Does this model come insulated? What temp rating would this tarp work in?

[@GruntProof]

It's a heavy duty tarp, not insulated.

[@KirkHermary]

Damn! That kettle bell test exceeded my expectations. They definitely need to change that non tensioning slide dohickey on the closure system. Overall it seems decent though. Nice one man!

[@GruntProof]

Thanks man!

[@joeyjthomas]

How does this compare with the AquaQuest tarp?

[@GruntProof]

I haven't tried them yet. I might get one for comparison. I've avoided them because of their multiple youtube endorsers, and how they treated them. Maybe it's time to call them out...

[@jamescrowe7892]

First off, I like the t-shirt. Now, for the crux of the issue. How does one go about getting one these tarps?

[@GruntProof]

Just search for DD hammocks tarp. I got mine on Amazon

[@fedup2533]

Where is it made and do you know if they sell it somewhere other than amazon? If it's from China, it's a fail without testing and same goes for amazon exclusives.

[@GruntProof]

Not sure where it's made but you can buy direct from DD
