Amok Draumr 5.0 Hammock Review 

Thanks for dropping by and saying hello. Jason loves his, You'll have to let us know how you get on with it. Look forward to your thoughts. We should be out this weekend as well. I know Jason will be in his Amok, I might give the Basha bridge hammock a go.

Thanks for taking the time to pop by and comment and I'm reallypleased you found the video useful. I'll make sure Jason (the guy in the video) knows you appreciated it also.

Cheers MrMovieLover88, I'll be sure to let Jason know that his efforts have been appreciated.

Glad it was helpful! Jason who did the review, has his own channel if you'd like to check it out. Tell him I sent you 😀 ru-vid.com/show-UCJIOEihxz3MA5VGWvNS2j_A

Its a lot more stable than it looks. There's a good shot of Jay with it in seat mode on the newest Dartmoor video at 16:20

owtnabowt - I was concerned that it would rotate heels-over-head, in something like a 'Some mother's do 'ave 'em' mishap. It looks pretty plush.

@@billyaitken1713 It would be possible to flip it and I have seen people do it when first trying it out. What you need to do is get your centre of balance right and this will never happen.

@@jason120870 lol, you know i'll quote this if/when it does

😆 Thanks for popping by and saying hello. Jason's a seasoned pro now, and hops in and out with relative ease. I climbed in for the first time just after we finished filming. It wasn't massively difficult, but it did take a while for me to adjust myself into a position where I didn't think I'd suddenly go spinning out backwards. Its definitely not as easy in and out as a standard hammock. I'll get back out with Jason and we'll do a short follow up on "ease of use" over the next week or so. Have fun and stay safe - Andy

@@owtnabowt2723 I have the Draumr 5 also, try out was yesterday, getting in and out is training and trying. But the flat lay in it is super.

@@Wijkkie Hi Jack, the biggest problem I found was adjusting to the way you lay, it is very important that you find the (sweet spot) it’s all about getting the balance. Once you have found the balance your good to go. As a tip if your bum is just under the ridgeline, you won’t be far off. Hope this helps.

Not sure if I'd want to commit at that level! What are your thoughts @jason120870 ?

Hi Dee, Sorry its taken so long to get back to you, I've been away. I'll have to defer this to Jason, but I beleve the the insulation from below is provided by the inflatable matress. And I know Jason had an extremly comfortable night below zero degrees on this camp ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uOKqhMpU-co.html

Hi Dee, well you win the question of the week!!! Question 1 = I have never had a pee in the Amok, but I think I would be comfortable in turning to one side and using a bottle. As for our lady viewers I just could not answer the question sorry. (But once you have used it a few times its very easy to get in and out, practice makes perfect) Question 2 = the mattress that is needed to give the Amok its rigidity is rated to -18 so no need for an under quilt. I have used both a top quilt at -0 and sleeping bag at -1 I do find that a top quilt is better as it is easer to get in and out with it. Its just like getting in to bed at home really. Using a sleeping bag can be a little tricky. Hope this helps if not please ask and I will be happy to answer your questions.

The hammock belongs to my mate Jay, who's recently starte his own channel. If you nip over to Jays Wild Camping ( ru-vid.com/show-UCJIOEihxz3MA5VGWvNS2j_A ) he'd love to hear from you and I'm sure he'll have an answer. (spoiler alert - he loves it :D)

Thanks for commenting. Funnily enough, I've just got back from filming an update so Jason could demo how he gets in and out. I'd not come across the War bonnet Blackbird so just googled it, looks like a nice piece of kit with a pretty decent flat lie.

Hi TP i am 5'6" the Standard Draumr is up to 6'1" or 185 cm the XL is up to 6'11" or 210cm. thanks for the feed back, if you need and further help just ask. Jason

@@jason120870 It is better to buy Standard if you 185, or would be more comfortable in xl?

@@bartoszkowalczyk3234 if your the high end of standard, I would probably go fro the XL. Hope this helps

I'm not a massive hammock fan myself, for exactly that reason. Jay swears by it though.

Thanks for popping by, and my apologies for taking my time to reply. Amok do a tarp specifically for this hammock, We have got a vid of it going up but I've not published it yet, you can see the tarp on the video linked below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uOKqhMpU-co.html

Good morning Sascha, thanks for popping by and saying hello. We've just filmed a follow up to include the tarp which i'll be uploading as soon as the editing is finished (a day or two) but it can seen in use in the video linked below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uOKqhMpU-co.html

Thanks for popping by and taking time to comment, glad you enjoyed the vid. Jason loves it, and it is very comfortable. To be honest, I like a hammock for dossing around in, but I get a bit queasy after too long, and I toss and turn like the Tasmanian devil at night so I am happier on the ground. I did find the bridge hammock much more stable, but had a massive fail with it this weekend (spoiler alert - its too long). Not giving up on it just yet though 😂

@@owtnabowt2723 🤣🤣 just prefer the dd hammocks keep smashing the videos out mate 👍

Jay did film a follow up demonstrting the mount😀 but he's not edited it yet (mainly because i only re-discovered the footage yesterday). If you pop over to Jays wild camping, you'll see it when he puts it up. (I promise to send him the raw footage before the end of the week)

Surprisingly stable tho'. Although, I can guarantee i'd fall out of it. :D

It would be possible to flip it and I have seen people do it when first trying it out. What you need to do is get your centre of balance right and this will never happen.

@@jason120870 It does look unstable, like every movement during the night will have you swinging backwards and forwards for 10 minutes ...

@@alfnoakes392 Surprisingly you really don’t notice it, I sleep better in the Draumr than in my own bed.

Thanks for commenting. I think Jay will be doing more simple reviews as and when he uses it in different conditions so hopefully you'll find something thats a bit more useful to you 😀
