The giveaway has CLOSED (see June 14 livestream for winner)
*1)* Someone created an account called "Text on Telegram @LostLakes" and used our logo and was responding to people to tell them they had won. Some kind of scam. Their account has been banned on this channel but please watch out. There will be a separate draw video.
*2)* FYI, these are all my own thoughts. Amok had no part in creating or reviewing the content. They ask nothing to enter the draw, no hoops to jump through...they are just generously giving away a set. If you're interested the draumr, check out Amok's channel here:
*3) GIVEAWAY*
Please read the rules in the description if you want to enter the draw. In a nutshell, all you have to do to enter is write one new comment and keep it PG (e.g. ask a question about the draumr, tell us which model/colour you would pick, etc). Any new comment will be eligible for the draw as long as it isn't offensive. I'm hoping to run the draw mid next week around June 16th unless I start a big trip before then in which case it will be after.

I love the idea of not being on the hard ground. Also what a great way to have a different unique perspective from your sleeping position.

[lukemaw]

The engineering that Amok has invested in these hammocks is unbelievable. My wife and our girls watch your channel all the time and are inspired each and every time a new vid drops! Thank you Jon for your commitment and dedication to such a fantastic channel!

[alexbaloi]

I never would have considered hammock camping if not for advocates like yourself and Xander Budnick, who go out and really put these items through the paces. I enjoy your content and appreciate the hard work to bring it to us. Also, your selfless ambassador adjacent work will hopefully bring more light to Amok. Love the yellow one!

[Unified]

My wife and I both bought one, honestly just on John’s experience he shared, so a bit of a risk as there were very few reviews at the time.
One year in and we are dying to get back into ours! It is the most comfortable sleep either of us has ever had, including our home bed.
Amazing quality, engineering, value, comfort, and all round value! Nothing else comes close!

Thanks John and Erin for introducing us!

[traviswest]

Every video you release fuels my desire to hammock camp. I really, really can't wait to try it out in the future. I will miss being close to my wife but it really makes sense when it comes to picking sites to camp in the bush. Thanks, John, for providing so much knowledge to those of us who are curious.

[rickmoller]

Been eyeing this hammock for a while now as I have low back problems and tent camping is only getting more difficult for me to do. The idea of laying flat, bug free in the trees instead of having to get down low and get back up again is really appealing. Great channel BTW, someday when I get to move back to the north I hope to get in a fraction of the paddling you get to do!

[MarkForrestAdventures]

I have The Draumer XL and it has been amazing. I take it on my Sea Doo Adventures to the back country and it has never failed me! Great video Cheers!

[allirish]

I have been tent camping since I was 7 and I have been on the fence about switching up my style. Your channel specifically introduced me to Amok among a plethora of other things !

[dfiddler]

Hey John, ive been watching your channel for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed your content. I do not get much time off and your channel has allowed me to curtail my canoeing experiences so they are more enjoyable without going through the trial and error process.

Ever since I have seen your channel with the Draumar I have been thinking of getting one as they look amazing!!

Keep up the amazing work and content. I wish I had your job !!

[RachelBurton]

I thought you’d get wet in a long rainstorm, but the tarp has more coverage than I assumed. Love how you can see out, sit up and read and sleep flat.

[irishplayerkc]

in years past, while camping and portaging with my spouse, there were nights after particularly hard days where a tent would be preferred; its nice to have a partner in the sleeping bag. I did see some tent hammocks in the past, much more rigid frame; but never tried one. If I win the thing please donate it to any young person who's into camping but cannot afford one; I definitely have been in that situation from time to time.

[Wordsnwood]

I'd go with red... kind of wish the tarps came in brighter colours. For camping, I like bright colours.
As for a question --- what are the weight limits? I know they're meant for one person for sleeping, but can they handle a cosy couple for just hanging out or cuddling?

[valgallant]

Tried a friends Amok this weekend. I was blow away with how comfortable this hammock is. You really can lay flat, or on your side or even on your stomach. I’m 60 years old and quite short. After a small learning curve, I was in and completely comfortable. Was to go Amok

[bigdaddytreevo]

I'm a long time gathered end hammock camper. Being a side sleeper in my own bed, this is a difficult position for me in my hammock. I'd love the Draumr XL for the step up in comfort. Canoe camping makes it so that weight isn't an issue. Good luck everyone. Someone is going to be Very happy with their new hammock.

[journeyswithjeremy]

Living on the Oregon coast there is no such thing as level ground. A hammock is ideal. Except I am a side/belly sleeper. This prize package would make some of the remote locals more accessible. Your videos are always top notch and I am super envious of your canoe tripping opportunities. Thanks for all you and Erin do!

[reggiemichael]

I picked up a Draumr after watching your channel. Used it for the first time last month while camping on the Rideau waterway. I’m blown away how comfortable and convenient the whole setup is…very well designed. My pup (60lbs) also shacked up with me a couple of nights and we both slept very well! Now looking to pick one up for the wife. Thanks for the fantastic content!

[Kaladin]

Thank you John! I let life take me away from my love for 25 years. Your videos have rekindled that love and passion for the outdoors. I have been slowly rebuilding my supplies, a brand new Draumr would be amazing! Thank you again!

[josephflynn]

I would LOVE to upgrade from my current tent. I am a new camper with 2 years experience. I just came back from a fishing trip in Vermillion Bay Ontario and I am already planning my next camping fishing trip.

I Love your videos! Please keep ‘em coming.

Thanks John.
Or should I say

Thanks Mr. Lost Lakes
