AMOK Draumr Ultralight XL Hammock Looky-See

[bpzfsew]

I've been sleeping every single night on my Draumr since summer of 2021. That's 1, 048 nights. I originally got it because I've never had a comfortable nights sleep camping. I tried it in my back yard for 4 nights and it was so comfortable I gave away my bed/mattress/frame and built a frame to hang it in my bedroom. My room is 8 ft x 6 ft and this is the only hammock that will fit.

The key to getting in and out is making sure your body is in the center of the hammock. Right between the center straps. I get in by facing the hammock, placing my left knee on the center of the pad, left hand on the top of the pad, right hand on the right center strap, push the pad down as I put my body weight on my knee while using my right hand to steady myself, and slide my body onto the hammock and laying on my left side in one motion.

In the summer I use an uninsulated pad and insulated in winter. I have trouble sleeping when I'm over heated and the hammock lets me be comfortable up to 80F. In winter the thermostat is set for 65F and my room is generally 55F.

The top quilt I use is 650 fill and I sleep in a sweat shirt and pants and thick socks. Below 55F, I will clip a second quilt on top of the first one. I use tiny carabiners to clip the corners of the top quilt to the metal d rings on the top straps. That way the quilt stays in place when I roll around. Getting in and out, I move the top quilt biner, from whatever side I get out of, to the ridgeline and reverse when I get back in. I never quite got the knack of getting in and out of a sleeping bag in a hammock.

There have been no rips/tears anywhere on the hammock as of 4/14/24. I weigh 220 lbs and the hammock easily supports that. Get the tiny spreader bars for the ends. I drove myself crazy trying to find a suitable material and getting it to fit in the tiny pockets but also long enough it doesn't fall out is a difference of MM's.

Between Larry the lonely Loon & woodpecker the background bird ambiance is A+.

With everything that’s going on in the world you still bring a great point, to just hanging out

Paul and I are thrilled you will be joining us across the pond in a couple weeks. Cant wait to explore all Denmark has to offer as well. I will be a grand trip for sure.

I love my 5.0! I’m a side sleeper who is too old to be getting on my knees to get in a tent. Great quality!

The thought of staring through the fabric at my coffee makes this a winner .... Early.

Did have a chuckle at the imitation of a cat pawing the dangling string 😆 hope you have a great time in Denmark! 👍

I'm in my dutchware chameleon in the freezing cold in a rainstorm in Vermont. Love my draumr xl ul! I'm cold right now but love the company of your videos. Nothing but love from Vermont ❤

[andrisberzins]

Thanks for the nice video Shug! Most relaxing 30 minutes of the day.

Glad everyone's still hanging around. 🇨🇱🇺🇸

I’ve been a fan since you started and your videos inspired me to get out and travel and hike. Now I’ve been everywhere and still using the tools I’ve learned from you. No joke you’re my hero dude !!!

I always love when I find a video with someone whose mind works like mine. You're the excellent kind of nutty. Felt like I was hanging out with a good friend.

Hi Shug! I had a sense that my favorite hammocking clown was experiencing an extra positive vibe whilst filming this video. That, sir, is a good thing! The sitting up feature suits me right down to the ground and makes me want one NOW! Thanks for the tip.

I feel like Amok has always been the coolest hammock. I have a Dream Hammock and I love it, but I've always wanted one of these

[stevesummersell_KWXX]

Oh, wow! They make a double one that looks great for a couple! Thanks for the link Shug!

[TheRickurb]

Your crumb to hammock ratio is off the charts!

A Flying Shug to Denmark! Nice! ☕ ☕ ☕ 🍕 ☕

The regular version doesn't interest me much weight-wise, but this ultra light version has perked my interest. I'm such a believer in an under quilt system in my gathered end hammocks. I can swap out depending on weather. I'm on the fence with just the camp pad system or having to carry two pads to boost your butt thermal rating. I really like the bug net on this version. Every stich on this thing is so well thought out, thanks for sharing .
