Shug, that’s good scoop, man. I first learned about the Draumr from your videos. Good to know that it’s not overly heavy in the pack. Thanks much!

I have 2 trees that work nicely for hanging a hammock. I also have wall anchors in my home office.

I purchased the Amok Draumr XL Last year when they offered the “early buy-in”. The discount was irresistible so I pulled the trigger. I got the hammock around April 1st as promised and I finally got...
Hey, Shug! Do you use the single or double tarp skins? Thanks!
Hey, folks! I've never actually camped with a hammock other than the back yard but I've been assembling gear, watchin' Shug's videos, and lurking here in hammock forums. I'm over here in the Raleigh...

I am doing some testing tonight on my ENO Double Nest. I'm using an 87" Zing-IT Ridge Line and I'm able to get a fairly flat lay. Problem with this hammock is that it's SHORT. I am 6'1" and I can...

Hey thanks for sharing your experiences! I'm just getting into hammock camping as well. I started with the ENO but I'm 6'1" so it's way too short. I tried a bridge hammock but it didn't match the...
Holy Cow, Shug! That really was a very informative video. It was 26 minutes of enjoyment. I only wish I'd known some of this stuff about backpacking when I was in the military! I spent many an...

Quick update on my sleeping pad journey. I purchased the Exped SynMat 7 LW. Since I'm a stomach sleeper I am leaving the pad fully inflated. So far it's not bunching up on me.

Thanks a lot, Hassinism! Next time around I'm going to fully inflate my Thermarest Basecamp AF. I also ordered an Exped Synmat 7 LW for testing. I'll keep both pads for family use and use the...
I'm a stomach/side sleeper too. I'm going to leave my pad fully inflated next time. Thanks!

Okay, that's good to know. After looking at the Exped SynMat, I realize that my Thermarest is much thinner. I've been letting air out of my thinner pad so I think I'll leave it fully inflated next...
Shug,
I did my first night in the Amok last night. I'm using a recommended pad from the Amok site (Thermarest Basecamp AF). I had a problem with that sucker folding up under my lower back /...
I slept in my Amok last night. It is very comfortable, but you have to get the tensioners adjusted properly for a comfortable lay. With the leg area tensioners loosened all the way, the Amok had me...

I spent the afternoon in my new Amok. I have a Therm-A-Rest Basecamp AF, which is one of the pads recommended on Amok's site. I had issues with the pad bunching up, especially when I tried sleeping...
Thanks, Flash! I've got a lot to consider.

Yes, that adds a different feel. I'm spending the afternoon laying here reading and adjusting the straps. Adding tension to the "knee" straps helped a bit. Thanks!

I just received my new Amok and Tarp system. After my morning coffee, I shot out to the backyard to set it up for testing.

Hey, folks!
I'm a backyard hammock weenie right now as I practice and prepare for my first outing. I just bought a new ENO hammock because my old one ripped. It was a pretty spectacular rip too!...
Excellent! Thanks much
