There are two things I would like to say about your video. First, THIS IS MINOR, the bunge cord at the head is not for support, it is simply to keep the bug net away from your head and face. Second, I've used my Amok for two years now and learned the same things you talked about BUT, your honesty about what you found is amazingly refreshing. Most people exaggerate their findings out of a sence of obligation for getting something free. You DID NOT DO THAT. It makes the respect I feel for you grow enormously!! You're an honest man and I value that above anything else in life! My best wishes to you. My thanks to you for taking the time to make and share this video with us! Thank you, Bibsoutdoors
where do you tie the bungee for the head end? find a tree?
That or just drive a stake into the ground and wrap it around the stake.
I have a tenth wonder tarp that has a fixing point for it.
Tou put it on your ridgeline from your head it's for the bug net to keep off your face
Glad to see you back - it's been a while!
Great to see you again.
Yes, good to see you again Martin.
That sleep system is ingenious and looks very good.

Really enjoyed this, as I do all your videos. There's always something new and interesting to keep me entertained!
Hello, I was very happy to see you again. Now i will watch the new Video about the Hammok. Kind regards from the Eifel Area in Western Germany. Stay healthy. Alex
I enjoyed watching; very thorough information. Thank you!
Great to see you again. Very informative video, looks like a good sleepingsystem. I like your videos from the very beatifull country of Norge. Thankyou for sharing.
Awesome review mate, thanks for making 🤠👍Nice looking camping site too...
Great to see you again ....back to great woodland views and sounds ...a little coffee and great camping tips 😊
Great review, thanks for posting!
Hey! There you are. Happy to see you back. Feels like I've been waiting forever for a new video, man. 😁😁😁😁 "Hello, welcome to Norwegian Woods." Looking forward to watching later.
Thank you for posting this, I'm an Amok fan in the Eastern US, and enjoy seeing how you camp in Northern Europe.
Nice to see you again, good video. thanks.
Lovely to see you again buddy. It looks like an interesting set up.. Look comfortable and easy to set up. Thanks for sharing it with us..
Great to see you back out, hope everything is well. Cheers
Very informative. Thanks for sharing
Really good review very well presented relaxing to watch and in great surroundings, I think the Amok system is superb, comfortable, functional and very well made. Thanks for the video :)
Fine and thorough instruction on using Amok equipment. This is a valuable idea because it gets campers off the ground, provides a comfortable seat and transforms into a comfortable sleeping platform with bug and wind and rain shelter. I am getting much more comfortable with purchasing this entire system thanks to you! So I did. Thanks for a useful review and explanation! I cannot wait to use it...and I know it will be a big hit with my four-year-old grand twins. The 'seat' configuration will be what interests them most!
Good to see ya back!
Thank you for making the video. I was looking at these hammocks and based on your experience with yours, I think I will buy one. Always enjoy your videos. Thanx from USA
I love my Amok Draumr 3.0. I’ve now got mine for over a year and have slept in it for 3-5 weeks at a time. Love it! It’s one of my favorites! My other is my Warbonnet XLC!
Love your videos martin.good to see you back buddy.
Great to see you back again Martin,i hope all has been well with you. I miss your videos but life must be dealt with before TH-cam. That system looks like a great option for someone starting out,with the addition of a good cold weather sleeping bag it seems to be a good all in one option over a tent. Cheers.
Hello Martin! I'm very glad to see you again! It's all ok? I'm miss your interesting video. Today i have a crazy day and when i finished my matters, I'm sit at my pc and been very happy when saw you new video. Thank you, you're give me a lot of positive today. Still waiting new video!
Great viewing. I might invest in a hammock soon and give it a try. Thanks for the video.
Wow that thing looks comfortable ! Nice video !
it was magnificent to try! just strung mine up in the back yard and it was a delight to lay down in :-D
Good to see you back Martin! Good video and I think it is great you look to utilize local products, I do the same here in America.
Your channel is fantastic! I live in Florida and wish we had mountains like those! Thanks!
nice review , I think this is the 3rd review Ive watched, everyone seems to love this hammock, and I dont see anything not to love, except maybe the stress it'd put on my bank account, I ll have to start saving for one of these. thanks for the review.
I've put my shoes in the hammock stuffsack while I'm sleeping so the ants or other insects get into them. Just a tip! Great to see you posting again! 🇸🇪
Nice to have you back on the small screen!
Hi..thanks for posting your video, very nicely done..I too have the Dramur and use it for motorcycle camping.
It was great to see you post again! It has been a while. I must admit, that is the fanciest hammock system I have ever seen; but it sure looks to be complete, and what is needed in bug season. I fear though that it would cost quite a lot. That strap system alone must have cost quite a bit to engineer and develop. Still, way cool if it allows you to camp out when the weather and insect conditions are deplorable. Pretty cool, all in all. Don't wait so long until your next posting!
Hej bro hope ur still here,lots of love Odin bless x
Har saknat dina filmer. Kul att du kom med en ny film om en fin kvalitetshammok.
Good video, thank you.
I've been using my Amok since the beginning of the year.
Don't think I could go back to any other hammock now as I get the best sleep every with the Amok.
Your spot on about temperatures as well - I use an Exped 9 in the winter months, but change to the Fjol for the rest of the year.
A lot of people say this is just a gimmick, and not a 'real' hammock, but it's a great bit of quality Norwegian gear.
All the best, Steve
Awesome job on the video
Hi Martin! Very nice movie! I am also the owner of Draumr 3.0 and I am delighted - a great product! At the moment it is my sleeping system - I have it even in the garden now and I sleep instead of in the bedroom :). I am just ordering a new sleeping bag, because mine is too big. I chose quilta from our Polish company, Cumulus - it is compressed 15 / 20cm, and has sleeping comfort at 4 stp. Celsius. If this tuża, white bundle on the film, it's your sleeping bag :), I recommend you look at the Cumulus offer. Opinions can be found on youtube, because the company, although small, does great things. Greetings and waiting for more videos from Draumr 3.0 in action! Pawel.
Thanks for this wonderfol video!!! Actually i am starting to search for information about hammock sleeping! Greetings from south germany!
Just found your channel … Subed ! Greetings from Florida, USA (where the mosquito is the state bird ;-) . My family originally hails from Bergen and I don't get to visit nearly enough. Thank you for providing a little taste of home. Based in no small part on your video … I'm ordering the same amazing Amok system. All the best wishes, Brother. Until Valhalla … Skal, Hawk ^v^
I've been thinking about getting an AMOK hammock for a while now. They're a good looking piece of equipment. I am amazed that you get mosquitos up there. I thought it would be to cold. We get plenty here in Australia.
Man, I am so looking foward to the version of this for tall people! Preorders start this fall if I remember correctly
The Hennessey Asym Zip is a good hammock as well. The amok is a great and innovative design.
Kjempe bra video
Great video buddy, honest review and I like how you are neutral when you talk about the amok, makes for a better review anda more honest video!
You should get a wind muffler for your microphone to get rid of the wind noise!
Greetings from Grannlandet!
Finally another video! Always enjoy watching your stuff my friend! Did you scare the fish away when you took that swim :)
I watched this when it came out but forgot to comment.
Any smoke from Sweden ? It's pretty dry I hear from my contacts in your part of the world.
Keep up the fluids and enjoy the warm weather because you know before you know it the winter will arrive again. Enjoy and keep smiling :-)
Excellent video as always. Do you see a way to lift one side of the tarp to have a view from this hammock? Seems like it would be nice to have a view especially when sitting up in it. Thanks.
Hey Martin, iam glad to see you my friend, I hope you are doing good and iam looking forward to our winter project.. thinking about a patrol tent or similar kamin tent for the all group what do you think? I like your hat!
Someone below me has made mention of this, but I think I can elaborate. Yes, the shock cord, which is attached to the head of the Amok, is there to keep the bug net off your head. There should also be two small pockets sewn into the back, opposite each other, and a forearm’s length apart. These are “stick pockets,” designed to insert a small flexible green stick from a tree or brush. The effect of the stick is to prop up the fabric behind your head. The shock cord can then be attached to the ridgeline, and the bug net will be propped well off your head and face.
Great and honest review. I like that you do not edit your videos too much. We can follow all your moves and methods as you go along👍 But is not the Amok a size too small for you? You looked a bit cramped up in there.
Welcome back.. Missed your relaxing Style..lol.
That hammock has a mind of its own : ).. I think I like it better as a chair.
... Sheila
Black & Outdoorsy!! What I’ve heard is, really comfortable, slightly heavy and somewhat complex. 😉
Very nice video. Greetings from denmark.
By the way, did you purchase the hammock directly on amok eu site? Or in norweigan shop
That string at the top is for the bug net it runs over the ridge line down to the bottom
I enjoyed the video. I am thinking about that hammock. Because of a back injury and hip problem I cannot sleep in my hammock, I need to sleep on my stomach. This hammock may be good.
Nice video. The Amok Draumr is an interesting, different hammock.
The microphone, camera or cable connection was picking up some wild feedback from that wind, especially towards the end of the video. Lots of cracking and popping. I hope your microphone is OK, otherwise I'd trade it for a Rode microphone.
Morn, kompis. Kanskje på tide å snakke med Amok om å prøve ut den nye 5 XL.
Nice Video. What is more comfortable for you. A normal Hammock (Swinging left to right) or this Type for Swing (Forward and Backward). Greetings from Germany. Was Hiking in Sweden for the last three years, would love to come to Norway in the near future.
Hey Norwegian Woods!! Where have you been my friend?? Would love to see another video soon man!!
Har siklet litt på den amoken, spørs om ikke må få tak i en til sommern. Harru testa vinter camp eller?
Enjoy your videos! Where in Norway are you located? From Norway myself.
Setter pris på videoene du legger ut. Fint å følge med på. :)
This hamock Trumps most hamocks👍
Great video! Was wondering how tall you are. They say the limit on those hammocks is about 6'1". Do you feel cramped at all?
They just came out with an XL. Check their website.
Meget fin plass det der! Jeg pleier å ta en fin svømmetur der :-) Har ikke tenkt på at man kan campe der.... :)
Det var länge sen!, jag saknade dig!
Mycket bra clip :). Var i Norge bor du?
What’s the weight of the system ?
Can anyone provide a comment on how this holds up in the rain. Specifically I worry about rain following the suspension system down to you and whether the tarp provides coverage if there is some wind and rain. It looks like you may get soaked if wind is coming from the side. Any comment would be great. These look like they would be great to have. I live in a rain forest however.
get a 3x4 tarp and fold the sides , sorted ;)
Also new model has drip stoppers along the Lines
wow is that Keith lemon?
I notice that you seem to barely fit in the hammock lengthwise. How tall are you? I have trouble finding lengths that fit me.
Check out this link then! :D www.amokequipment.com/collections/draumr-xl-introduction
blåste akkurat 5 høvdinger på den der pga deg.. men så var jeg på utkikk etter telt og noe bedre enn den siste jeg hadde :-)
Vel Martin, egentlig grelt system men føles som om den er mye mer knotete en for eks. et vanlig DD Hammock system. Btw, nydelig sted du er på... Får sikkert endel ørret der... :-)
Synes egentlig det er enklere...poser og liner er festet til hammocken og karabinkroker i endene. Så er det bare å blåse opp underlaget og legge det på plass. Med en "vanlig" hengekøye ble jeg fort kald på ryggen og det var et svare strev med å bruke en underquilt som aldri lå riktig eller et underlag som skled rundt. Man måtte også vrikke seg rundt for å finne "stillingen". Eneste kompliserte med Amoken er å finne teknikken for å komme seg inn og ut av den....
Mulig det. Er vel litt hva en er vant til. Jeg har aldri hatt behov av underquilt på sommeren, bruker en British army arctic sove pose og har ikke hatt problemer med kulde i ryggen...
The Draumr looks like a fantastic hammock Martin,but jeez... *THE PRICE* (279 Euros AAAARGH and that's just for the hammock alone,and not the rest of the setup (mat and tarp))
Do you have room for two? 😍
jeg så knottten på vidioen og fikk spasmer
Also, I enjoy this new video after a long time. BUT: For a long time there is only the technical presentation of outdoor articles ... for whatever reason ...
The old adventurer spirit of your channel has long been lost from my personal point of view. Too bad.
sorry Martin, too much faff and £250 too much
Rock-a-bye Norske in the tree top ... if you were a Dane, you surely would drop. If the bow breaks, you're a German and deserve to go plop. And down will come Norske looking at all the foreigners on his forest fjord floor all amoked ....
I suppose it's time to unsubscribe. Just one long commercial hyping a product. Sad.
