First look Amok Draumr ultralight

[@farid5661]

Hi mate, seem like you having the best sleep in the wild,so comfortable. I received mine today. My question to you is , did you have to seam sealed the tarp please? I opted for Skjold 10 camo instead of UL one , exactly the same dimensions except slightly heavier. I honestly can't wait to try it . Any advice before I do as I'm bit heavy handed.

[@TimRobson30]

Awesome welcome to the Amok gang hahaha, I have used my tarps a few times without seam sealing them the normal weight fabric fairs better in rain than the ultralight but I’m now going to seal both my skjold and skjold 10ul because water eventually got through on my last camp. My only advice would be to add some form of drip lines onto your hammock suspension, water is a pain for soaking down the straps, a bit of paracord or some metal clips will work or a full conversation to whoopie slings like I did with my camouflage 4.0 Draumr. Any other questions please don’t hesitate

[@farid5661]

@@TimRobson30 thanks mate, much appreciated. I haven't checked yet the hammock but I believe it's got some kind of rain drip integrated. Still I will take your advice and add paracord drip on the safe side. May I ask where you got your woopie sling from as I was looking at Dutchware ones. Time consuming from usa.

[@TimRobson30]

@@farid5661 DD hammocks stock a whoopie sling set mate it’s really good. Yeh the integrated water baffle isn’t very good unfortunately, they got it spot on with the 3.0 didn’t have one on the 4.0 and brought it back for the ultralight and the 5.0 but it’s not as good. Always here to talk amok!

Tim, Thanks for the update with the fatwood. I am Dumb when it comes to this Electronics stuff so bare with me. I finally figured out how to get a response. Thanks for sending your email to me. I do hope I am not imposing on you by asking for the that. I loved this vid. I do hope they sent the AMOK to you free for your demo of it. It looks like it works very well for you. I told John that I could send some more fatwood to you any time so let me know if you need some. Best regards, Randy

[@TimRobson30]

Hi Randy thanks for the comment. It’s no problem Glad you managed to figure it out. It no issue to ask for my email and sorry I’ve not got round to replying so far.

All the best

[@barryconway]

That's a fine-looking bit of kit - nice review, Tim. Good that you got it, and good for you for doing a solid, honest, real world review for them. I was about to ask about the bug net, and then you showed it, so that's covered. Nice! I seem to remember you are using (or have used) the Snugpak 5 in the Amok? Does that work well for you? Somehow, I can imagine a centre zip bag working well, but am only guessing. Interested in your views on this. Cheers!

[@TimRobson30]

I’m glad I remembered to film the big net it has just as many updates as the whole hammock they really hit the nail on the head with this design. Yes I have the elite 5 sleeping bag but I don’t really like it, I use it as a top quilt without zipping it up and I completely agree a centre zip bag would work great I used to have one when I used the old Draumr 3.0. All the best

[@saraskold9631]

thank you for showing the new one do you think that any of these hammocks in a pinch could be used on the ground?

[@TimRobson30]

Check out a video by shug on that subject. Short answer is yes if you can rig some poles up. All the best

[@Braapncamp]

Hey. really nice green color on your Draumr UL, match the tarp color better than my red one I must say. I' as impressed as you are on the UL, no functionality loss at all. Except from lower weight, the pack volume is less as well. Great review. Cheers 🍺 and happy trails 🤠

[@TimRobson30]

It is a better match but the red colour I like a lot, so many changes and new features and the upgrade from last year are impressive. All the best to you

[@nitrofoxxx]

Hello Tim. Do the Amok's have a weight limit on what it holds..? Keep up the super content, looking forward to more.

[@TimRobson30]

They sure do and there quite generous. The limit for the ultralight is 120kg compared to the 180kg limit for the regular version, if your even bigger they make an XL version for people over 6feet tall but has the same 180kg limit. All the best

[@flashkan]

Is there a major difference in wind between the standard and UL versions? And if you were going out in temps between 4 and -12c, would you take the UL or standard?

[@TimRobson30]

I wouldn’t say there is a major difference, just a little more airflow in the UL. If I was going out in -12 I would bring my standard version remember now that the UL and standard have the same features. I would get one of the 5.0 Draumr hammocks and the winterlight sleep pad. All the best

Is comfort as good as the regular version? I am a side sleeper, is the comfort really the same? Thanks, Enjoy your videos....

[@TimRobson30]

I’m sorry I’m not sure what regular version you mean, there have been 5 versions. The new ultralight and the bee regular draumr both have the same changes from the 4.0 model but one is lighter. If you have the 3.0 or 4.0 model there will be different features on the new one. If you have a regular hammock and that’s what your talking about then yes of course it is better. Lots better

[@John_P290]

@@TimRobson30Sorry for the confusion. I just mean UL vs 5.0

[@TimRobson30]

@@John_P290 cool no problem. I don’t see there being a huge difference in comfort between the 5.0 and the UL they both recline exactly the same level and are as long and wide as each other, the straps for the UL are lighter weight and narrower so there is a little more give compaired to my 4.0 camo. There may be a tiny bit of extra comfort to be found in the UL sleeping pad because of the fabric it is made from but I always use my red one as it’s warmest. I hope this info helps. All the best

[@evanhiatt9755]

I sleep on my stomach and I have tried sleeping in a regular hammock using different techniques like laying at an angle and such. I just can't sleep well. When laying on your stomach with the amok, does it feel like your hips dip down? How flat is it really? It is so hard to tell from videos. Well done video! Really enjoyed it!

[@TimRobson30]

Thank you for your comment. First off It is very flat I would say maybe 95% flat with an angle of around 170 degrees, I naturally turn around in my sleep spending some time on my sides and stomach with no issues and always have a way more restful sleep than in a gathered end hammock. All I will say is Amok equipment have an amazing return policy, if you buy it and don’t like it you have plenty of time to send it back for a refund.
