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.

[@shugemery]

Will be nice to finally meet you. Glad this worked out for me time and date-wise.

[@glennhollamby5418]

Have a great time at HangCon.

[@daveLeese]

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

[@shugemery]

The World has always been crazy and mad. Nothing new. Not sure how we have made it this far and long. So just hang and relax and enjoy the moment.

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

2 👍👍s up from me Shug I am soooooo in love with my two XL's. the 5 for regular weather and the UL for those hot Minniesoda times in summer (and when I get to go more than an overnighter) Great to see you out in yours again.😁😁😁 and I do just roll into mine most of the time to get that continued rockin'-- just stick my right knee in the middle MIDDLE and grab the top strap with my right hand and roll into it, stretch out and close my eyes and ENJOY - I also do it the conventional way but that ain't as much fun and much less rockin' LOL hoping this lovely raining stuff we're getting stops for at least a couple days so can hang out some more - don't mind the wet - however not as much "fun" for me.

[@shugemery]

If you are a hammock aficionado then this is a fun and very different one for the collection. The bird party made shooting this video more pleasurable.

[@emanohtolify]

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 .

[@shugemery]

I am a UQ guy all the way. In Denmark right now and the AMOK hammocks are very very popular here. I also got to meet many of the people from the company and they’re all really cool people.

[@roadrunner3505]

Hi Shug, down here in NM we roam out in the back a lot and some folks worry and ask us about animals and snakes and immigrants, crossing the river and all sort of fear they imagine being away from their comforts. Well I usually just answer " be prepared and educated ...not paranoid. Or maybe it's best they stay home and be "safe". This leaves the wild for us who like it. Keep up your good work. Eric

[@user-bp3zf3se4w]

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.

[@shugemery]

Great info filled comment. Thankee for the dissertation on comfort and techniques.

[@KSC-ui8zr]

You did it to me again Shug, you made me spend more money😀😀. I ordered one tonight and look forward to trying it out. I looked at them before and thought they were too heavy. This one might work. Thanks for showing me this!

Great review. I desperately want one now. No cold shoulder or leg cramp I bet. I can imagine rigging up a small folding table hanging off another ridge line and sitting in that hammock eating a meal on an evening, maybe with a view of a lake. I can also imagine sewing velcro around the flysheet perimeter and hanging more flysheet to go down to the ground and making it into a hot tent for winter.

If you enjoy modding that would be good on the tarp. Table from the ridgeline....I'd hang that after getting in and getting settled!

The Amok Draumr has been a part of my kit for just over a year now. It's a "buy once, cry once" piece of gear -- tough to pull the trigger on the order, but well worth the price of admission. Is it right for everyone? Nope. Follow your gut, I reckon 😉 Nice rundown of the features, Shug, thanks!

For a fan of hammocks I think it is nice to have as it certainly has its place.

[@chrisballengee7603]

All hammock Tarps I wish they made them where you could zip on additional sections like doors or length. In both my gathered in and draumr I wish there was that option because then I can better adjust for the weather that I am in.

Oh my gawd. Why didn’t I watch this before my failed canoe trip last week ( or should I say unplanned swim expeditions) LMAO. That bug net drove me nuts on my regular Amok. I didn’t realize what that cord was for. lol. Guess reading instructions may have fixed that issue lol. I also think I am hanging too high. I flipped completely in the head position last week. Laughing all the way lol. Feet up in the air, head on the ground or near it. I’m guessing my tension is too much and the angle is wrong. I have a hell of a time getting!in and out of it. The pad seems to create a ridge when I lay in different positions, kinda like caf ridge in a way. I also got a small hole in my tarp. Looks like one of the stakes poked through the fabric on the pocket. Oh well, thems the breaks. Keep up the good work. I just ordered one of your prints, the hammock in the woods.

For backpacking, even the UL amok is too heavy for my tastes. A true ultralight gathered end hammock like a trailheadz banshee ul is 11.5 oz for 275 lbs. Their poltergeist ul is 8 oz for 175 lbs. Shug, have you tried either of those? For now I'm still sticking with my superiorgear hammock. However! For canoe camping in the boundary waters this summer/fall, I could see trying out the amok draumr ultralight xl. That chair mode had me straight envious, thinking about having morning hot chocolate while watching the sunrise, with the loons calling.

[@shugemery]

Well sometimes you just want a different ride. Small price to pay for chair/recline mode. Never tried the Trailheadz hammocks. Got too many hammocks already. Sitting down by a lake in the BWCA sure would be nice. Might have to ferry mine in.

i have always enjoyed your amok draumr videos but dang it, now i want one! have you ever figured out how many hammocks are too many for one person to own?😹 i do enjoy velcro on my tarp lines (eno profly), i find many uses for them and they do make me more tidy. my yard trees are pretty close and this hammock would be perfect for the yard hang!

[@shugemery]

It is a real nice solution to tight tree spacing . Sit and sip and stare.

Hi Shug, Ely, UK here. Exped do down filled sleep pad (still needs inflating but it has or had a built in pump system) that has the baffles runnIng head to toe and is rated down to minus 38 Celsius, I've had mine down quite a lot lower some reflective, might be worth you having a look, might even beat your under quilt.

[@shugemery]

I have an Exped downmat 9 XL. Very warm . I had it in the video but cut it out to shorten the video.

Hi Shug, I don't often comment but I love your videos, I was just wondering if you've ever used your haven tent with the tensa 4 stand and a bigger tarp. I have a haven xl and I'm thinking about getting the tensa 4 to make it more versatile. curious as to how its best to set it up.

[@shugemery]

Yes usually use a larger tarp with the Haven. I've not set it up on the Tensa Stand. I would suggest reaching out to Todd and Cheryl the Tensa owners to ask [e-mail] This trip report I am using the Haven with bigger tarp....kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGPMqppumsurpLM and...kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX-ZpnuagNmFptUsi=_fdqC-iYsOFwr9Dd

I have thought about it for years about getting the Amok. I have arthritis in my shoulders and I wander if this would fit the bill for me comfort wise

[@shugemery]

Shoulders are free in it. Once you master getting in and out. Hung out in it today for a couple hours between Spring chores.

Thankee Shug for the UL review! At 5:20 I noticed a blue tape on your stick. Did you break them?

[@shugemery]

That was just to hold them together for weighting them on the small scale. No breaks.

[@sheilahenry7279]

I’m loving your video. Had me so interested in how you can stomach sleep that when you scratched like a cat w/ the string I laughed out loud. Enjoy Denmark - you must go to a circus there! I’m wondering now which hammock & quilts you’ll bring. Ya gotta give us a video. Have fun & ❤❤❤❤😊

[@shugemery]

Most of my time will be taken up by the Euro Hang Con event. Will get a day to wander Copenhagen. I want to try local food. Planning on my Superior Gear hammock. TQ?...not sure yet. Watching weather.

[@ChrisDraussen]

Question: Why you don't see this as much in the field? It seems nice though

[@shugemery]

I was just in Denmark ay forst Hang Con Europe and the Amok Draumr was plentiful. It is made in Norway thus so many there.....

[@stevesummersell3068]

Woo Buddy! Really liking the UL and recliner mode but will it go-to-ground mode?

[@shugemery]

I have set it up on ground....of course I have! flic.kr/s/aHsmqF37Td

@@shugemeryBut of course! 😃 You da Man Shug!

[@paulyates2818]

Shug, have you used a gear hammock with this? I tried but I found it made the hammock very tippy. Also, did you see the double version they just released? I didn't like the divider between the two xl pads, but I bet a lot of people like their double hammock. Great video btw :)

[@shugemery]

I never have with this hammock nor my gathered end ones either. It must be balanced well with the Draumr I reckon. I did see the double version. Will try one out in Denmark later this month. Thanks.
