What's the situation with non-Amok tarps & this hammock? I imagine my 11' DCF hammock tarp with doors would likely not work well...
I pooched the zipper on my Exped Scout Combi end of last season. It's over 5 years old, so while getting it fixed I thought I would try something different. I just ordered the 5.0 XL in green, Fjøl Winterlight XL, Skjold 10 Camo and the pole set. I found a 10% off coupon...SCOUTUT so it's all on the way. Weight is not a big issue since I primarily Moto camp...looking forward to trying it out.
Shug, thanks - my DCF tarp is 11x8.5. Likely won't get enough coverage, even though this UL hammock (regular size) appears to be 9" shorter than your XL.
Your video does, however, make a larger, superfly-sized tarp seem very viable. Thanks for being the codicil for the subject. I will continue to be the codpiece.
As a UL guy, the Dramur has always been the stuff of comfort fantasy. But dang, we are very much in the realm of a Ridgerunner or even lighter with this thing.
Two questions for the peanut gallery:
One: How does a mummy pad like a Neoair Xtherm or Xlite work with a Dramur? Poorly?
Two: How about their strap suspension? I'm seeing amsteel weight savings there. Anyone swap those out?
So I emailed Amok and promptly got some helpful additional details:
The bug net is not a net.
It's the same material as the body, "Amok's Monofilament 20D Nylon - Double RS" which is apparently 1.0 oz/yd material. It's see-through enough that it works instead of netting.
The bug "net" & zipper weigh 7oz.
However - they are permanently attached and cannot be removed without damage. So you're not leaving it behind.
Straps are 3.5oz.
Also - the guy who swapped whoopies is Tim Robson. He also just did a video on the new Dramur UL:

Amazing how transparent the material is.
Tim Robson, that's the guy, was drawing a complete blank
