Something besides sticks in AMOK Draumr

[MSGJarhead]

Got the new AMOK Draumr today and am wondering if anyone came up with something to use in the foot and head ends besides sticks? I am thinking of using 1/2" Plex water line, it seems to be flexible and light weight. Thanks

I use a 3/8" plex pipe cut to size on my Amok XL. The 1/2" will probably work but it may be a little tight.

I only use it on the head end. I find the foot end is not needed and keeps falling out.

Another vote for 3/8" PEX. I credit AZsteelman with matching the material to the application. You can get a 5' piece from the hardware store for a couple two three bucks and it will be more than enough, even if you screw up and cut too short a time or two.

I have yet to try the PEX route (it's in the garage but hasn't bothered me enough to cut yet). I figure: if a green switch was good enough to tan my hide with as a kid, it's good enough to keep the bug net off my face.

I use a pair of thin carbon fiber rods I had laying around from one of my rc planes. It's light and has the perfect flex.

I set it up and tried the 1/2" pex water line, it seems to work but just to be on the safe side I think I will get the 3/8 and go with that. Also is the ridge line suppose to be super tight? I know on my chameleon I should be able to bend it a little bit when I'm laying in it. This one seems to be fiddle string tight. Thanks.

I'm new to my Draumr XL, only had it a few days. But my ridge line is not super tight. Sounds like your tree straps aren't at that 30° sweet spot.

I'll have to play around with it tomorrow. I think I might have to raise them a little. Thanks.

My experience is only with my 3.0, but too flat on the straps sure will put a "twang" in the old style ridgeline.

it shouldn't be fiddle string tight, but I know mine sounds like a bass guitar when strummed

I played around with it today and even with a 30 degree angle it still seems tight but the distance between the trees is 17'. I moved it two trees around 11' and the ridge line did slack off some with a 30 degree angle. Maybe need to get the straps higher when it gets over 15 feet between trees.
