Amok now manufactures that matches the requirements of the Draumr. It offers a ton of protection. The Amok mission is to deliver the best possible outdoor equipment for the world to use. With a gathered end in the Tensa I just put my motorcycle jacket heavy Klim textile on the head end and never tethered. It appears that the sleeping width is exactly the same between the two sizes, only the length increases. With the bug net on, I unzip the left side and climb in keeping the zipper above the foot box.
Everyone was begging to use the hammock as it was really comfortable and unlike regular gathered-end hammocks. It was lucky I did. The Amok team spent months testing their products in rigorous conditions, altering and sewing numerous prototypes. The next morning when I came to see how she slept, I was greeted immediately with a big hug, thanking me for the opportunity to sleep in the hammock. Having taco's myself once when the tensa was new I basically burned it into my memory about keeping weight off-center.
After getting the Draumr set up, she decided to try it out one night. Do you think that the extra room adds comfort for persons who are under 6 foot 1 inch the maximum height recommended for the shorter version? Chair mode under the 90 degree tarp rocks. My relatives were over 6 ft tall and had room to spare. It is a bit on the heavy side being so feature laden but it is bomb-proof. It literally took about 2 minutes to get it up and me covered. I found if the zipper goes down to the foot box, it is very hard to zip up without tumbling forward.
The Amok Equipment story begins in early 2013 with the mission of crafting a completely flat hammock for camping for the most comfortable sleep in the world. The entire set up is only two pounds more than my other hammocks so I will be using it often this summer. It was some of your pics and Shug's that made me wonder. So I have come to prefer anchoring to objects like fence posts, trailers, etc. For more info on all things hammock go to All secure in sector seven, Shug.
This one definitely has more room all round than the old style. Gotta decide before cutting the stuff sack off Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I have a question for those of you setting the Draumr up on the Tensa stand. Post navigation Thank you for this review. It is a short hammock and 6 feet is about the max height of a person to be comfortable. All I can say is that this hammock is truly something different.
The hammock design is a unique hybrid, starting with the familiar Draumr 90-degree lay off the hang point. Side sleepers and stomach sleepers rejoice, is now for you. It does boast large storage shelves at the apex of each end. No shoulder squeeze what so-ever. Sometimes it can feel a little imbalanced when you get in until you find your center point.
If you're on the fence, I'd recommend the smaller one, even though I haven't seen the one built for giants. During the last years we have learned a plethora of new things about hammock camping, and we pass that knowledge right back into product development for our camping hammocks. It started raining about 4 am so I quickly deployed the tarp. After investing a ton of time, money, energy and we are stoked to present the which launched in the summer of 2014. I really don't need this hammock, so I'm still kinda on the fence whether I keep it or take advantage of the 60day return. I will probably buy the Borg tarp before I go on my next hiking trip.
The foot box is all but eliminated, with more room around the foot area for netting. I assume you are just fully tethering both ends of the stand making it ok to have your weight in the center? I was a little shocked that the traditionally all-in-one suspension on previous models was abandoned for a separate system. The hammock requires a large pad in order to create the structure. I don't use anything on the foot end. Use a pad specific type instead of an underquilt. I am 5 foot 10 inches and am wondering if the extra room is a benefit for a person my size.
It has a nice camping area just behind the cliff. Getting in is probably the trickiest part, but with a little practice it comes fairly easy. Besides, my summer pack weight is much lower than my winter pack so two extra pounds is really nothing. I've also popped a screw ground wasn't firm, but wasn't completely soft, either. The design change to wrap the bug net over the ridgeline instead of clipping to it was a much better decision.
