As Storm Bert tore through the UK, I set up my DD Frontline Hammock in a woodland near Sittingbourne and braved the night under a tarp in 60mph winds. Joined by Greencraft, this was a real test of gear, shelter placement, and mental grit.

No frills — just a raw, on-the-ground look at hammock camping in severe weather. You'll see exactly how we rode out the storm, what gear helped us get through it, and the challenges of sleeping suspended between trees when the wind won’t stop.

If you're curious about storm camping or how hammocks hold up in high winds, this one's for you.
