I love my Draumer UL - its honestly the comfiest sleep I've had in the woods
What he said
Xander, you better not win this contest! ;)
Lol I'd be upset too
@@XanderBudnick rigged lol
You rock Budnick!!
The giveaway has CLOSED (see June 14 livestream for winner)
*1)* Someone created an account called "Text on Telegram @LostLakes" and used our logo and was responding to people to tell them they had won. Some kind of scam. Their account has been banned on this channel but please watch out. There will be a separate draw video.
*2)* FYI, these are all my own thoughts. Amok had no part in creating or reviewing the content. They ask nothing to enter the draw, no hoops to jump through...they are just generously giving away a set. If you're interested the draumr, check out Amok's channel here:
th-cam.com/users/AmokEquipment
*3) GIVEAWAY*
Please read the rules in the description if you want to enter the draw. In a nutshell, all you have to do to enter is write one new comment and keep it PG (e.g. ask a question about the draumr, tell us which model/colour you would pick, etc). Any new comment will be eligible for the draw as long as it isn't offensive. I'm hoping to run the draw mid next week around June 16th unless I start a big trip before then in which case it will be after.
Hey Jon, just FYI there is a scammer commenting on people's comments saying they've won. Terrible that this is something we all have to worry about these days. I hope YT deals with it!
I was just about to say the same thing! Every reply I try to @ him gets deleted also.
@@alivia4907 I reported several instances, but it's pretty much impossible to fight as an individual. YT needs to work on this. And it's sad that it's the naive or vulnerable who fall for these sort of things.
Yup the POS just tried to scam me on telegram saying I've won.
I just got the message too via Telegram. I started questioning them because it clearly states in the rules that the winner would be notified via a video on the channel they deleted the conversation. That's terrible. I realize it isn't the channel's fault.
I never would have considered hammock camping if not for advocates like yourself and Xander Budnick, who go out and really put these items through the paces. I enjoy your content and appreciate the hard work to bring it to us. Also, your selfless ambassador adjacent work will hopefully bring more light to Amok. Love the yellow one!
I love the idea of not being on the hard ground. Also what a great way to have a different unique perspective from your sleeping position.
The engineering that Amok has invested in these hammocks is unbelievable. My wife and our girls watch your channel all the time and are inspired each and every time a new vid drops! Thank you Jon for your commitment and dedication to such a fantastic channel!
in years past, while camping and portaging with my spouse, there were nights after particularly hard days where a tent would be preferred; its nice to have a partner in the sleeping bag. I did see some tent hammocks in the past, much more rigid frame; but never tried one. If I win the thing please donate it to any young person who's into camping but cannot afford one; I definitely have been in that situation from time to time.
You da man
My wife and I both bought one, honestly just on John’s experience he shared, so a bit of a risk as there were very few reviews at the time.
One year in and we are dying to get back into ours! It is the most comfortable sleep either of us has ever had, including our home bed.
Amazing quality, engineering, value, comfort, and all round value! Nothing else comes close!
Thanks John and Erin for introducing us!
Love hearing this. I just bought one 5 minutes ago... cant wait for it to get here and bring it out in the field!
Awesome! You will love it!
I do recommend you take it to a local wooded area to set it uo and get used to it first. It takes a but to get used to but on even it you do not becomes a breeze.
Every video you release fuels my desire to hammock camp. I really, really can't wait to try it out in the future. I will miss being close to my wife but it really makes sense when it comes to picking sites to camp in the bush. Thanks, John, for providing so much knowledge to those of us who are curious.
I sleep better in my Draumr than I do in my expensive bed at home, seriously.
Hey John, ive been watching your channel for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed your content. I do not get much time off and your channel has allowed me to curtail my canoeing experiences so they are more enjoyable without going through the trial and error process.
Ever since I have seen your channel with the Draumar I have been thinking of getting one as they look amazing!!
Keep up the amazing work and content. I wish I had your job !!
I have been tent camping since I was 7 and I have been on the fence about switching up my style. Your channel specifically introduced me to Amok among a plethora of other things !
I would LOVE to upgrade from my current tent. I am a new camper with 2 years experience. I just came back from a fishing trip in Vermillion Bay Ontario and I am already planning my next camping fishing trip.
I Love your videos! Please keep ‘em coming.
Thanks John.
Or should I say
Thanks Mr. Lost Lakes
That is a sweet setup. I’m kayaking the Suwannee River this fall. Normally I used my tarp tent setup but seeing this maybe it’s time to switch to a hammock. Love your videos.
Been eyeing this hammock for a while now as I have low back problems and tent camping is only getting more difficult for me to do. The idea of laying flat, bug free in the trees instead of having to get down low and get back up again is really appealing. Great channel BTW, someday when I get to move back to the north I hope to get in a fraction of the paddling you get to do!
Thanks a lot Rick. I used to have back pain sleeping on a pad on the ground
Same here man. I don't have this beast, just a normal one but it's sooo comfortable. Never had back problems again camping. Just make sure you get an under-quilt or one where you can put a pad in, or your bum will get cold.
The two key things I've learned owning the Amok Draumr is 1) you definitely want their inflatable pad, not some thermarest or something else; their pad is critical to comfort in this hammock, and 2) pull the hammock lines tight and I mean tight otherwise you will get a burrito effect. But with their pad and good, tight lines this bed is glorious for chronic back pain sufferers like me!
I'd go with red... kind of wish the tarps came in brighter colours. For camping, I like bright colours.
As for a question --- what are the weight limits? I know they're meant for one person for sleeping, but can they handle a cosy couple for just hanging out or cuddling?
... and here come the scammers. Reported and Ignored...
Don't think they're made for two..
I've never seen a hammock like this. Looks far more comfortable for sleeping than more traditional hammocks
I would like a dark green one. That way the "Bear Burrito" will be camouflaged from them and harder for them to find the tasty treat inside.
The Draumr Hammock looks very comfortable to me. Yes indeed, the design has always intrigued me.
Tried a friends Amok this weekend. I was blow away with how comfortable this hammock is. You really can lay flat, or on your side or even on your stomach. I’m 60 years old and quite short. After a small learning curve, I was in and completely comfortable. Was to go Amok
I love the design of the Amok! Must be great waking up and look over the sea from your draumr...
Hammock camping is the most comfy sleep I've ever had. I can only imagine how the draumr would be.
I have The Draumer XL and it has been amazing. I take it on my Sea Doo Adventures to the back country and it has never failed me! Great video Cheers!
Love that you are taking the time to explain how this works. From day one I have wanted one. Missed this earlier because I was out on my own adventure!!! Very cool!!!
I've always been a tent camper but the idea of a hammock is intriguing and definitely offers advantages
My wife and I are avid campers and have enjoyed spending more of our time at home living vicariously through your adventures when we can't go out ourselves. Thanks for putting out genuine content that we can enjoy!
Been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and I love every minute of it. It’s so relaxing and heart warming. And the Amok seems like the camping gear of choice. Good luck to everyone
The Amok hammock is the perfect addition to my new beginnings of canoeing. It’s design and size is exceptional for the sport. Being Scandinavian, I’m also a huge fan❤️ it would be the greatest addition to many adventures!
just wanted to say thanks for all the effort that's required to put these videos together ...... the black flies and mosquitos would be enough to bring most grown men to tears. i have never had the opportunity to sleep in an Amok but would be pumped to give it a hang....and any color would be cool .
I must say that the AMOK hammock system has got to be the best. been using the Draumr system for the last 4 years.... best sleep ever.
Thank you John! I let life take me away from my love for 25 years. Your videos have rekindled that love and passion for the outdoors. I have been slowly rebuilding my supplies, a brand new Draumr would be amazing! Thank you again!
I think I’d go for the blue hammock. It’s my favourite colour. I’ve just discovered the joys of hammock camping, and i can’t imagine going back to a tent.
Jon and Erin, thank you for showing the World how beautiful is Canadian nature and for educating people how to behave out there.
You inspired me to go backpacking and canoe tripping in my fifties.
The hammock looks great. I have it on my wish list for some time.
Jon, thank you for continuing to share your excursions into the wild. I am finding that I may have my own love for the wilderness and just never knew it. Having one of these hammocks would certainly go a long way in helping ease into my newly discovered hobby. A big shout out goes to both Amok and yourself. Thanks guys!
Wow! I’m a younger watcher and I have to say these hammocks would really come in handy!! I would love to win one of these 😊
I love the idea of sleeping in a hammock, but have never done it. Ive always had tents. After watching you for the past couple years I've really come to the point of wanting one for canoeing and camping in Western NC...Great Smokies. Love to see your channel growing!!! Enjoy!!!
Thank you for all of your videos. I have found them to be extremely cathartic during covid. I normally take a fishing trip to the Ontario side of Lake of the Woods and have been missing it over the last 4 years. Thankfully, I was just able to go back and experience the beauty again.
Have tried out the Amok on a couple trips now.. sooooo comfortable and versatile... absolutely love it.. thanks for introducing me to hammock camping!!
I picked up a Draumr after watching your channel. Used it for the first time last month while camping on the Rideau waterway. I’m blown away how comfortable and convenient the whole setup is…very well designed. My pup (60lbs) also shacked up with me a couple of nights and we both slept very well! Now looking to pick one up for the wife. Thanks for the fantastic content!
I love your content and beautiful trips you take. I am impressed with not only with the summer treks but hot tenting in the winter. The fact you and Erin both love the outdoors and true back country camping puts your content above all others in my humble opinion. Blessings to you both.
Since watching this channel I've genuinely been more interested in this hammock and this overview does a great job. Thanks 👍
I like this design and could see it becoming a replacement for my end gathered hammocks. Like the looks of the dark green or the blue.
I have been watching your vids for a while and have started collecting camping equipment. Your hammock has been on my radar for a while now.
Thanks for the run down so i fully understand how good this product is.
Never slept in a hammock but you provide so much footage of yourself chilling in yours that it's clearly comfortable. Your content is fantastic, I especially appreciate your respect for wildlife you encounter on your trips! Definitely a cool and unique giveaway!
I have been hammock camping for a few years now and love it. I've build 2 of my own and really like them but with my back and neck issues I truly believe the Amok would be the best thing out there for me. The features and quality are top notch, putting it outside my price range. I can't tell you how many times I've had the blue one in my cart dreaming I could hit the buy button.
Great thorough review of the Amok. I purchased the Haven hammock last year so am just trying it out. Definitely the Amok is the Cadillac in this category
I've been thinking of switching over to a hammock... so I appreciate the information, very helpful. The yellow hammock rocks.
Living on the Oregon coast there is no such thing as level ground. A hammock is ideal. Except I am a side/belly sleeper. This prize package would make some of the remote locals more accessible. Your videos are always top notch and I am super envious of your canoe tripping opportunities. Thanks for all you and Erin do!
Thanks for the contest Jon and Amok! I've had a Draumr in the shopping cart many times and never pulled the trigger. As you mention, it would be great to have more options when picking a spot to call home for the night. Keep up the great videos!
The yellow Draumr looks absolutely fantastic. I remember I checked them out a few years ago or so but forgot about them. The itch of just running to the woods to disconnect for a bit has been growing stronger, and tadaa, TH-cam suggested this video
Haven’t been camping in a couple years now… miss it. Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m back in the woods myself. Thank you
Awesome promotion. Anyone that’s watched the channel know you’re giving a sincere endorsement of the Amok!
Love your videos, been watching them for a couple of years now.. I got my mother and sister addicted to them as well. Amazing calm energy and fun to watch... Never slept in a hammock before as I have always used tents.... Been skeptical of hammocks up until see you do so often....
I have been wanting one of these for a while! I have so many chronic pain conditions and I think this could really help. Great overview video, Jon. Thanks.
I agree with you,the yellow looks pretty awesome..always tought about buying a Draumr
Thanks for another great review Jon. I appreciate how you explain the pros and cons of the gear you use. Keep up the great work!
We love watching all your vlogs…..especially the ones that show Lake Superior. Thank you for all you do for us. Keep up the great work.
Love your videos, Jon! I've been interested in hammock camping for a few years now and the Amok setup looks ideal!
Excellent video showcasing all the benefits of the Amok and all the detail that went into engineering it! I love watching your channel, your videos are always calming and a great way to relax after work. Through watching your videos I was inspired to go on my own solo backcountry adventures!
I have been on the fence about hammock camping for a while now, but after watching so many videos on your channel, I have been thinking of switching over. The functionality of the Draumr is very appealing. I like the fact that it seems more spacious with way more area to spread out compared to a normal hammock - something that had been putting me off trying regular hammocks.
I really enjoy your channel and appreciate all the effort/work you put into your videos! :)
After decades of tent camping seeing this is an epiphany. Cannot wait to get one and try it out.
Great video. I've been looking at these hammocks for a while now, they look like the best solution for a side sleeper.
This video was great, as I had a lot of questions about the Amok draumr. I always see you using it even in the winter and knew it was your "go to" camp set-up. Been on the fence about making the switch from a tent. Thank you so much for the info on it. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful adventures. Best of luck.
Hi John - I do travel the areas you trip, but don’t get to experience them on the scale you do! Love that you “Rep the North” and translate it’s beauty!! I know seeing you use the Amok Draumr repeatedly on your trips that it works superior to a tent - or you wouldn’t be bringing it. It also speaks to the quality of the product & design. A great hammock tent for great Northern Ontario adventures! Stay Wild
Hey Jon, great giveaway! I’m turning 50 this year and i think the Amok hammock might be the solution to alleviating many of the aches and pains that come along with tent camping. It certainly ticks all the boxes! Looking forward to more great content. BTW, in between the new stuff, I’m also now enjoying your earlier videos. Raw, authentic trip reports with lots of creative humour. Cheers!
I always thought hammock camping seemed uncomfortable and awkward until I saw you and Erin in your Draumrs in your videos. Definitely seems to open up your campsite options. Thanks for sharing this and all of your canoeing adventures!
I have been looking at the Amok for a couple of years. You always have positive comments about it and it is definately on my list of upgrades of my gear
Wow. I would love to try camping in a hammock. The old bones aren’t as soft as they used to be!
Yellow is my Draumer colour!☀️
I'm a long time gathered end hammock camper. Being a side sleeper in my own bed, this is a difficult position for me in my hammock. I'd love the Draumr XL for the step up in comfort. Canoe camping makes it so that weight isn't an issue. Good luck everyone. Someone is going to be Very happy with their new hammock.
Love the yellow! I've had an XL on my wishlist since I first saw it here. It can be difficult to find flat ground for a tent in NWO but I can't go a whole night without sleeping on my side. One day I will have one... Maybe sooner rather than later! Tight Lines!
I am tempted to try one of these for weekend camping in the Adirondacks. Seems like the perfect balance of comfort and ease of packing. Thanks for the review!
Been following you since the backcountry angling days. My wife and I now have a dog so a gathered end hammock won’t work. Won’t want to switch to tent. So we found the Amok. Dived into research. Pleasantly surprised during my search to be reminded that you put out so much good content on this product. We’re ordering the full shebang, double hammock with pads and tarp. Donating our old set up to my college-age brother in law
Nice! Give it a few nights... It grows on you, and then it's all you want to use
Love your channel! My wife and I both look forward too your new adventures! Peace and blessings. The system looks well thought out.
Love your videos! You guys have become a part of our Friday nights during the winter. I have the Segl XL for my backyard and would love to try the Draumr, I would definitely pick the yellow...I think it would look stunning against the trees 💛
Thanks for all the great videos and sharing your experiences with us!
Awesome giveaway!! My husband just purchased his first Amok Draumr this year, and I'm hoping to get one next for our adventures! We love your channel- thanks for the inspiration!
I love the sage green color. Blends well. As a side sleeper and avid reader/rocker this is the perfect camping set up for me. The only concern I had was the balancing and you explained that well. I would LOVE to use this hammock on my horse camping trips. Thank you for explaining how this amazing hammock works! Great Job
Lovely kit. I have trouble sleeping in regular hammocks so this would be a great alternative.
I love the green version. Blends in nicely to the foliage on the east coast where I’m at!
Good luck folks!
Great video! Concise, to the point, zero fluff just like all your content. I was just camping this past weekend and realizing my old tent (and me) are getting a bit long in the tooth. May be time for a switch to hammock camping! Though I do wonder what I would do with my canine camping buddy...
Did my first trip last month with my AMOK! Best nights sleep ever! Thank you John for introducing my gf and me to this amazing backcountry sleep shelter!! Keep on keep’n on!
First saw Xander use the Amok, then found your channel through his and saw you using it. You guys are both amazing; love your videos.
I've never slept in a hammock before, but absolutely loved the portion of your video where you showed looking out from under the protection of the tarp, watching the rain during a rainstorm. Nature's sedative right there. Truly awesome!
I got into camping in the past year in part due to videos from Lost Lakes but also my girlfriend we have both been curious about trying hammock camping and eyeing these up for a while. We are still new to backcountry camping (I am new to camping in general) thanks for all the great videos and tips along our journey learning to be more Intune with the outdoors!
My daughter and I take a lot of inspiration from your videos and have taken more opportunity to get out Canoeing ourselves over the last couple of years. An Amok would be a great upgrade from our super cheap and basic tent although another purchase would likely follow as we'll need two if it's as comfy as you seem to find it. Thanks for all you do.
Love my 5.0 ultralight. It was pretty warm with a exped downmat in the low teens and crazy wind. Planning to get a standard for cold winter days and keep the UL for spring/fall
Thanks for the run through of this hammock. I have been considering getting this hammock after watching you use this for some time. As I get older, I seek more comfort than I get on the ground. Great videos and great channel.
Free hammock, yes please. Keep the great content coming. Thanks John!
Love your channel Jon. I have been canoeing for some years, so its nice to see the passion you have for canoeing and the outdoors. I have be stuck on using a tent, but this video will have me looking at the Amok Draumer.
Awesome. Thanks for rapid fire info, these things look super comfy.
Lost Lakes videos have inspired me to explore outdoors more. Thanks Jon and Erin! The Amok Draumr I recently bought (and love!) has helped my back issues improve a lot, so I can camp more and I'm thinking of hanging every night even at home!
That is an amazing design. Wow CONGRATS to Norwegians for designing/inventing this!
Great video! I can really appreciate your experience and knowledge of these products, John. After watching so many of your videos, where you clearly enjoy using the AMOK, I believe you’ve pretty much convinced me to try out hammock camping. Me being a strict tent camper for the past 7 years.
Thanks!
I saw your first use of the AMOK, right after purchasing another brand. Bummer. Not even comparable. Was envious.
Well, might as well give it a shot. Thank you for doing these videos, got introduced to a lot of cool stuff & knowledge.
Just received my first Amok! I'm gonna try it tonight. Can't wait!
Looks amazingly comfortable! I hammock camp but that’s a whole different level!
Definitely looks like a game changer in the hammock world!! I usually backcountry camp in a little 2 person tent which hasn't been too bad, but I can see the advantages this thing brings and the weight is about the same as my tent!
They look incredibly comfortable. Hammock camping helps my back issues. I have been debating on upgrading from my cheap one to an amok. Fingers cross I get lucky on this giveaway. Thanks for all the great content and hours of couch canoeing you give us.
thanks to your introductions, Jon, I have added a dramr to my to-do list. i discovered your channel during 4 years living in Saudi. It's great. Thank you!
Thanks Jon. It definitely has quite a few advantages to tent camping. I love the view factor compared to tent camping.
I've switched to hammock camping a few years ago and converted my son to hammocks as well. I much prefer the hammock to a tent. I like the idea on the Draumr and hope to be able try one one day. Thanks for your videos, I watch every one and enjoy your outings. Cheers from Northern Ontario
Thank you for all the beautiful videos. I've been longing for one of these since it first appeared in your content.
I would love to try one of these Amok units. Get a sore back when sleeping in a tent regardless of the mat. Thanks for your wonderful channel!
