Our Favourite Photos of 2018!

2018 was a great year for getting away from it all and spending quality time outside - accompanied by your family, friends, or just the sound of the wind in the trees and birdsong in your ears.

We love collecting your stunning photographs of your DD Hammock, Tarp or Tent from across the globe. Searching through the #ddhammocks hashtag on social media, we get to see your campsites in all kinds of different climates and continents. We have selected some of our (many!) favourite photos from the year just finished, to serve as an inspiration for 2019's adventures into the wild!

 We'd be there in a flash!

As well timed photos go, this one is certainly up there! During a recent trip to KwaZulu-Natal Calv experienced thunderstorms, dramatic light and some amazing African wildlife, all from the comfort of his DD Hammock and Tarp! By @calv_of_the_bushveld / South Africa

Planet Hammock!

This unqiue photo captures the feeling of hammock camping perfectly, featuring a DD SuperLight Hammock, taken on a solo bikepacking mission in the woodlands. Having the whole forest to yourself, you are literally in your own little world! By @johnclimber / UK

 Group Hangs!

The wilderness is a special place to spend time alone, but sometimes sharing it with friends makes you appreciate it even more! Frederik and friends took to the woods to construct this multi-person set-up, which we can only refer to as a hammock hotel! By @freddybushcraft / Denmark

Good morning sunshine!

 It's chilly out there just now...but the warming rays of the sun are always welcome, whether it's the last light of day after a fulfilling hike into the forest, or greeting you first thing in the morning! By @samstersoni / Finland

A window to the world

Here at DD Hammocks we are proud to base ourselves in Scotland, and with wild land like this so close to the cities, it's easy to see why! This DD SuperLight Jungle Hammock looks like a place we could happily spend a lot of time in! By @scottyneedsa303 / Scotland

Golden Hour

There's very little more picturesque than the late evening in the forest - late last year we were sent this serene photograph from a forest in Japan, in full Autumn colours! Much more relaxing than a night on the couch! By @sotode_asobu / Japan

Stealth-mode engaged

A perfect demonstration of how a full DD Multicam set-up can make you blend in to all kinds of backdrops. Looking to set up a secret campsite away from prying eyes? It might be worth speaking to Scott who sent us this superb photo! By @bugoutbigis / UK

Ground dweller

Hammock camping isn't all about suspending yourself between trees - with the DD Travel Hammock / Bivi you can set yourself up for a night on the ground, as demonstrated here expertly by @Scablands_bushcraft / USA

3x3 Sheets to the wind!

Not content with just camping, these intrepid paddlers lashed their canoes together and used their DD Tarp 3x3 for a high speed sail down the length of Loch Ness in Scotland. How's that for ingenuity?

The above are only a small selection of the wonderful photographs sent in to us by our customers around the world.
