Thanks for the kind words! 🙌
So cool to get to meet you all live and in person. Too see how popular Amok is in Denmark. Whoooo Buddy)))
@@shugemery Right back at you, Shug! Stay Wild 🌲
You guys making anything new this year?
@@dwk1986 Are you asking us? Well, we just launched the Draumr Double that we're pretty excited about, + some updated Fjøl pads and a few new colors on our Segl XL hammock! :D
Between Larry the lonely Loon & woodpecker the background bird ambiance is A+.
Been very birdy of late. Our local eagle too.
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.
Will be nice to finally meet you. Glad this worked out for me time and date-wise.
Have a great time at HangCon.
Glad everyone's still hanging around. 🇨🇱🇺🇸
Yessir...Everybody be hanging and lollygagging.
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 .
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.
Just purchased one before watching this video. All the little "hey, that's nifty" things... make me keep saying "Gee, almost like they THOUGHT of this!" Trekking pole to prop foot end? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a reinforced gromet... well hey! Putting an extra insulation pad in and wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to grab it form the top... well hey! Thank you for the overview! Excellent job and gives me comfort that I didn't make a silly purchase! Keep on hanging!
Glad to hear all that. Fun rig.....th-cam.com/video/s2i6b0EzX50/w-d-xo.html
I feel like Amok has always been the coolest hammock. I have a Dream Hammock and I love it, but I've always wanted one of these
I am in Denmark and got to meet them all. Very popular here!
I'm in my dutchware chameleon in the freezing cold in a rainstorm in Vermont. Love my draumr xl ul! I'm cold right now but love the company of your videos. Nothing but love from Vermont ❤
I envy you. I do love Vermont and look forward to getting back to the Long Trail sometime.
Love hearing the lilt of Larry the Lonesome Loon! A perfect pairing with your palaver!
Lilting Larry Loon Loudly Loons....
Did have a chuckle at the imitation of a cat pawing the dangling string 😆 hope you have a great time in Denmark! 👍
Whooooo Buddy))) Thankee.
Great video shug
Thankee~~
Shug, thankyou. I needed that. 30 mins of pure pleasure. Ian
Mighty kind of you IanAndrew.
Hi Shug! I had a sense that my favorite hammocking clown was experiencing an extra positive vibe whilst filming this video. That, sir, is a good thing! The sitting up feature suits me right down to the ground and makes me want one NOW! Thanks for the tip.
I did a lot of long sitting between takes!
Excellent walk-through of the Draumr.
Im considering splashing out for one of these.
Your video answered most of my questions.
Thank you.
Glad to hear that. If you want to see me enjoying it on a trip it is here.....th-cam.com/video/s2i6b0EzX50/w-d-xo.html
I love the Draumr. I use it all the time. i am shorter so when it is in bed mode I crawl in and the roll over on my back and it works great. I can get out the same way.
Righto~~ So many ways to get in and out.
Thanks for the nice video Shug! Most relaxing 30 minutes of the day.
Nice of you to say...Whooooo Buddy))))
I really do like this hammock especially for the backyard Lounger like you’re using it for mostly
Chair mode for the Win~~
@@shugemery For sure the only thing I wish they would really update their tarps next
@@monoclehikes68 Do you mean doors? The tarps cover well overall.
@@shugemery Yeah, I mean it would be nice to have a door but after really looking at it and I wish they would upgrade their color choices
AMOK Hammocks: When you want to hang out in style, but also have the option to go full-on AMOK!
Righto~~ Full on....
Run Amok
"behave uncontrollably and disruptively"
Oh, wow! They make a double one that looks great for a couple! Thanks for the link Shug!
I'll be trying one of those soon....
@@shugemery You'll need a bunkie. Count me in.
@@jpyornoc Hickery already claimed the other side!
I just got my Amok email update and they now have a 2 person Amok version…. So you and the Maple King will have to review the new offering.
Serious entertainment value there.😊
I'll be checking on out in Denmark at the hang. That would be perfect for Hickery and I...I could be deafened by his snoring and gassed out by his farting. We may have lift off Houston~~~~
@@shugemery now that could really funny!!
Have a good trip!
Pretty excited ...thankee..
The thought of staring through the fabric at my coffee makes this a winner .... Early.
The veiled view.....
You got the ultralight. Now, you'll have to get the double 2-man Draumr for you & your better half. 😉
Better half....Hickery??? haaa More like Other Half~
@@shugemeryI meant your wife. You said it's for the back yard. 😉 lol
@@shugemerybesides, Hickery would gas you out after a livermush sandwich or some deviled eggs and pickled herring or something like that. 🤮
Could happen. Maybe. Possibility.
I've lived through years of his gassy assaults.
Wow! That's like a one man space pod Buck Rogers 21st century out of this world kind of tree chair thing.
I'm still having challenges with the gathered end hammock rigeramole but am very much enjoying it all. Enjoy your space hang overseas Shug, we sure do like you sharing your earthly ride. Peace man.
Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the space. Savor learning. One day you will wish you could learn it all over. A hammock like this has that effect. Thanks and Peace backatcha....
That hammock looks chill with the chair mode. Thanks for sharing.
Truly. #1 for me is chair mode.
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!
I'm happy to help you spend some moola on a something that will add good to your life. Yessir. Hope you enjoy it.
Super cool video Shug. Have a great time on our side of the world.
I am looking forward to a little adventure.
I look forward to meeting you in Denmark
I too do! Meeting you and Denmark.
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!
It’s late in Ohio. Thanks for new video. I shared on my Facebook and email myself twice.
I’ll watch till end tomorrow.
True Story
❤️🚗❤️🚗❤️
Haaa.... I love to remind myself of things as well!
Thanks Shug! ive been looking for a fun hammock to get the kids to go out on the trail with and this one seems like a winner. Thanks for showing it off!
Good luck with that. Maybe a gathered end hammock would hold a hassle of children better. You sit in the Draumr and observe the mayhem! haaaaa
Appreciate the Looky-See and the great advice, thanks for sharing.
Y'ecome and Whoooooo Buddy)))))
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.
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.
You could adding a Tarp Beak......dutchwaregear.com/product/2qzq-grizz-beak/
Might work.
Hope you will like Danmark and our tress 😊and coffee
I am very much looking forward to seeing and experiencing Denmark. To eat smørrebrød and visit a bakery!!! Tak.
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.
Happy to hear this report! Thankee Ken.
at one point in time I only had hammocks in my living room 2 chairs and a lay down. My tv was on rollers too. My idea was i could easily move all my "furniture" and tv so I had all sorts of room for activities!
Love that concept. That is how I use my Nut Hut. Everything movable for whatever I need to do.
Whoop! Looking forward to seeing you in Denmark 😃
TaK~~ Excited and already packing.
Thank you Shug!
Y'elcome and Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Fun gear review, Shug! May have to try one next summer! Larry the loon and the other birds were awesome! And yes, it is apparent you enjoy goofing off. :)
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.
Wooooo Buddy. Looking forward to meeting you at the Danish outdoor festival. Will be there with the Danish Veteran support, Come say hi, over in sector 7 :-) We will be with Bushcfraft europe, in their tent. See you there. I rock the normal Draumr XL 5.0, and it is an amazing peace of kit.
I'll pop over to the bushcraft tent and peruse the happenings. Very excited to experience the Denmark life.
If you rise your hend and begin to rock to and fro? all the hammock will rocks like a cradle. Do not ask me why I know this ;-)
Thank you for your videos!
I for one love to be rocking. It eventually stops. But I want more.
Nice One Shug...Just checked the AMOK website. For all the bells and whistles this thing has, the price ain't half bad! In fact very reasonable.
Righto~ Cheaper than a sports car.
Great video Shug!
Thanks and Whooooo Buddy))))
Looks like a great hammock. I don't have enough room my place for more gear. lol I need a bigger place. Thanks for the video
I'm about out of room myself!
Great that you are coming to Jyderup. I hope to see you there😃
Won't be long now. Flights set and looking forward to it. Always wanted to visit Denmark.
I can't wait to see the Denmark videos
I can't wait to see Denmark~~
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. It looks so peaceful. Well Carry on. I have to get up early… EARLY! Lol See ya in the trails. Moose, AKA Jason Schuette
Sounds like that Amok is out to get ye'.....haaa
Thanks for the tee shirt support. I spend my mad money on candy!!!!
@@shugemery possibly lol. Not the Tee shirt, the Hammock in the woods print (painting) from Etsy. Sorry for the confusion. Hammock on!
@@MOC7844 No my fault. Saw the print order. I'll throw a patch in.....
Love your style! You, being you! :) And the Amok looks pretty darn good too! ;)
Thankee for that. We can only be who we are~~ Whooo Buddy))))
@@shugemery 100% :)
Bon voyage in Denmark, Shug!
Whooooo Buddy))))
Hey Shug! Hope you're doing well! Excited to see some of this thing!
Whoooooo Buddy)))
Love your video sir! Long time Watcher First time comment. You are my favorite hammock expert on You Tube I enjoy the winter videos the most! Your sense of humor is awesome! And I've learned so much from your helpful tips! God Bless!!!!
Thank you. Winter was a dud this year. But thanks for enjoying them. Bless ya' back....
Dang: look at that thing. It's ready to descend upon Gotham with a side table of chips, a plant & a tv set.
Totally different ride for sure.
Thanks for the Amok infomercial 😂
It needed to be done. So I done.
Your the freakin man shug!!!! Shout out from Gonzales La. Love your vids.
Whooooo Buddy to ya' Brent in Gonzales~
I bought my Amok Draumr back in 2020 (partially based on the reviews you shared). Didnt get to use it in 2020/2021 due to Covid restrictions, I should dig it out and try to get out in the next few weeks now that the snows all gone.
Yes...time to lollygag!
I like, I could see myself napping it that for hours
I actually did take a good nap in it yesterday between chores~ Lovely day.
OD festival in jyderup 26-28 april? I'm going, that's near my ol hood! I'll bet it's 'bushcraft butikken' by Jesper Hede and Co. That's nxt weekend👍 welllll, it's not him/them🥴 but i'll definitely go anyway🤠
Yessir. I fly out this Monday. Th hosts will treat us to a Viking Hut Welcome Wednesday then off to Jyderup. I'll be in hammock area but plan to visit the bushcraft tent.
@@shugemery Awsome🤓 just awsome🤗👍
Loved hearing Larry the loon at 10:44
A joy daily.
Loved your cat impression 16:27 hahaha
Haaaaa
Rrgarding a more walled-in tarp, I'm oretty sure Simply Light Designs has a winter tarp for 90 degree hang hammocks like this.
There are options for sure. WB Superfly works pretty good.
@@shugemery I thought I had seen that the Superfly works well too but wasn't sure. Anyway, I tell people the Amok tarp works way better than most people think it will.
Superfly over Draumr.....th-cam.com/video/gG-pg-6en1E/w-d-xo.html
Missed seeing your videos! A loon for a loon!😂 Funny story about lake loons... another time😅 I hear woody woodpecker out there, too!
Loons, eagles, woodpeckers and robins were all partying during the making of this video....
Can't wait to meet you, here in Denmark.
I can't wait to try Smørrebrød~~
Love the video dude, great work as always!
Mucho appreciato~~~
With everything that’s going on in the world you still bring a great point, to just hanging out
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.
9:56 that sounds like a big gull, woah crazy, that loon sounds like a similar call to some gulls.
That was the loon but we do get to occasional gulls.
I have the regular XL rather than the UL version, and it's awesome! They've just released a new double which looks interesting ...
Me too. The UL is so much lighter and smaller. Amazing.
Another way for aiming entry or balance, I put my butt between the two gray rectangular pockets on each side. In the 3.0 anyway.
But I have a heavy head and light feet! haaaa
Shug, why the XL and not the standard size. I’m 5’11”. Right at the cutoff between the two sizes, as you are I think. Thanks for all of your inspirational videos.
I just like the little bit of extra room. 6 feet and shrinking am I.
amokequipment.com/pages/draumr-hammock-size-guide
I totally want one!
Treat yourself!
I’m on the fence between xl and regular. My husband is 6 foot so he needs N xl but he is not likely to use it more than once 😢
@@karinevans754 I'm 6" and shrinking and like the extra room in the XL.
Nice and so much fun to watch. 👍😂
Thanks and Whooooo Buddy))))
Can’t wait to see you in Denmark Shug😎
I look forward to it too. And meeting Denmark.
Are theJakob I met and talked to on the road...with girlfriend.? I had an AMAZING time!!!!
@@shugemery I’m the Jacob who made you sign his Ultimate Hang book!😆 It was a great pleasure meeting you Shug🙏🤩
@@terkelses Ah yes. We had a good chat by my hammock. I did meet several Jakobs. Really nice to meet you and thankee for coming over to talk. I already miss Denmark. Up at 1am in the morning today after flight home and spent the morn unpacking. A couple of insects stowed away in my luggage!!!
@@shugemery Good to hear that you arrived home in a good manner! No doubt that all danish hammockers appreciated your visit! I sure am thankful! Thanks for the talk and your time! WHOOO BUDDDY😎
Damn i missed it to go to denmark 😢 i live in germany only 30 km From the danish border 😢
Always next year~~~~
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 & ❤❤❤❤😊
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.
Hey Shugg, your fencepost makes me nervous 😳. good to see you again though buddy, the amock is on my wishlist to join my other 15 hammocks 😂
That fence has been holding me up since 2006. Uprights are 4 feet into ground. Worry not.....
I have the very first AMOK. I love it but haven't taken it out very much. Ill have to this year
Still have mine too. The updates are so nice. Especially the footbox. th-cam.com/video/B9h91uEgRvQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=893MHA4Nvp6pfHRG
I belive the poles comes standard now. 😊
Draumr=Dream
Skjold=Shield
Fjøl=Board
Nice. Takk and Whooooo Buddy))))
I have the Amok XL and while I like the convenience of it as far as hanging it I have to say it is not my favorite to get in and out of. In general I prefer my Warbonnet Blackbird XLC just more practical and more comfortable to me at least.
My gathered end hammock like my Warbonnet Eldorado are my go-to...so I do understand the getting in and out thing. Gathered ends were my first camping hammock so I am partial to them. The Draumr is fun and like a Sunday drive car for me.
I loved the tarp and loved the mat, but I didnt enjoy the rocking head-to-toe and I felt unstable. I often bend my knees (heels to bum) in the night and it made me tip backward. It was a bit scary for me.
I've heard of folks shimming theirs with a pack to stop the rocking. It is not for everyone but what in life is?
Far out... I wonder who and how far back in history invented the Hammock..
It seems like it keeps getting better and better..
Seems they were used in ships for years way back. My Dad even slept in one in the Navy.
@@shugemery Right...
Looks like it would need an XXL tarp to cover it.😅
Tarp Life.
Looks like a hammock with wings
It is. Space age.
SHUG!
Sword!
superior gear is still my favorite. pretty light, warm and idiot proof. the chair thing is nice tho ngl.
SG super nice. My go-to hammock. Not saying one is better than the other...just showing it. Gathered...Bridge...90º hammock like this. Triplets but very different.
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
Shoulders are free in it. Once you master getting in and out. Hung out in it today for a couple hours between Spring chores.
I . . LLLLIKE IT!! 1st: crotchal or crotchle? 2nd: saggy gray socks 👍. 3rd: weird is bestest, and finally: don't worry . . be happy. WHOOOO BUD-DAAYYY! Lord, bless dem people in Denmark. I know, I know but (thumb pointin, side glancin and whisperin) he's comin t'visit! 😲
I'd go with crotchle. I'll be an honorary Dane for a week. Not a great Dane but an average Dane.
🤔 I'm thinking they wouldn't invite just anybody 😉
I was just out on my urban lake, kept company by another urban loon. Nice, isn't it.
Urban Loons.....my new band name. I play bass and do loon cries. Will make the Bandshell someday!!!!
@@shugemery Around sundown, Bandshell tonight, a hush falls over the crowd. Suddenly....
@@jamesjahoda1613 ...a loud old man works the crowd. Sweat soaked. Soggy meet n greet. Hug a chipmunk or two.
@@shugemery All eyes upon him. Rapture.
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!
It is a real nice solution to tight tree spacing . Sit and sip and stare.
I had an XL a few years back, and sold it. I found that the swinging back and forth would go on, and on and on....I got nauseated. Comfortable, but not for me. The winter mattress was awesome though...
You are not the only one to mention that. Personally I love it but find many don't. Hammocks have quirks. Tents just sit there...
This hammock looks like an alien abduction waiting to happen
Oh...it happened~~
Love th hammock intro video. Thanks for making it. One question…it’s an XL right? If so, how tall are you…I am strongly considering this set up after watchin your video. Thanks, John
It is the XL. I'm 6 feet tall. This may give some insight....amokequipment.com/pages/draumr-hammock-size-guide
@@shugemery I’m 5’10… think I’ll try th regular after perusingth link..do ya think that one should work? Thanks
Seems you are right on the line. You'll just have to give it a go either way. I think I'd go Regular....but you could always contact Amok and ask them.....support@amokequipment.com
Sweet mutton chops.
A checkout clerk at my local grocery store mentions them evertime. Says I look like a Civil War officer. I grin at that.
👍🏻🙏🏻🗣️
Thankee Shug for the UL review! At 5:20 I noticed a blue tape on your stick. Did you break them?
That was just to hold them together for weighting them on the small scale. No breaks.
Hey, Shug, great video as always. I've been considering grabbing one of these as an extra hammock. Do you know if it will fit under a Warbonnet Superfly?
With a little mod yes….AMOK Draumr XL under Warbonnet Superfly Tarp

thanks for another great Video any more books to share?
"Reacher" series.
"The Gray Man"
That'll keep you busy......
this year i dunnooooooo
I dunnoooooo either.....
Hey Shug
Greetings Wink.
You live near loons, I am jealous.
Well.....a lone loons. Only been back for a few days. It is really nice.
Im surprised with your expertise on hammocks. You're not designing them. If i was running a company, I'd be like "fly this guy in and get his input"
I just like to explain what others have created. "Hamma-splainer" is my calling card.
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 :)
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.
