Hi Hawk, thanks for your useful video! I own an Draumr 5.0 XL for 2 Weeks and slept the whole last week on our veranda in it. After putting away my "normal" pillow and just using a folded fleece-jacket under my head i slept soooo good in it. But as it turned a little colder i wanted to close my sleeping bag an got problems. If i try to make an arc to enter the sleepingbag, my Draumr 5.0 flaps down under my feet. No chance to build an arc. What am i doing wrong?
Kingdom of Denmark has mountains, the highest is Gunnbjørn Fjeld 3700 meters high. Highest mountain i Norway is Galdhøpiggen, 2469 meters. We got it all.
@@Gert-DK true. we have mountains in greenland and also faroe islands. But i’m of course talking about the mainland of denmark here 😁🙏🏻
Excellent tip about placing lines at outstretched hand height! Thank, and keep hanging!
@@zekialhabib thank you i’m glad you found it useful 😁🙏🏻
Great 👌👍
Absulutely a great bunch of tips there! Thanks!
I would buy one if they didn't cost over $400 for the hammock, pad and tarp.
it is, a really nice hammock.. but yeah they are kinda expensive :/
As I see it, there is no benefits on the 2019 version compared to the newer ones. nothing at all. Except maybe weight, as it seems there's more fabric and construction on the newer ones. The staining though, is eminent. Everything you can do on the old and can't on the newer, is not a constant. It's actually how YOU are able to do things. I actually wished I had both versions, I love the footbox on the old one and the bugnet zipper solution on both. It actually can have two completely separate areas of benefit. But I see a lot here that is personal skills and not limitations on the product.
Great video, really helped me set up with ease.
Great video, very useful 🤗
Just put up your tent, and don´t worry too much about it! Of course, leave no trace and bother no one. In my experience at least - no one is bothering you! Alt godt og god vind 😊
Wow, I really love your video. You’re very good at communication and you make it so clear and it’s quite entertaining and funny to listen to you. You make learning fun and interesting. Great job on your video.
thank you very much that makes me glad to hear! thank u 🙏🏻
Great video. I just scored the Draumr 5 at Goodwill yesterday for $15!! Now, I need the pad and tarp.
One of the pads is on sale right now! April 12th 2024
Lucky!
Im noting your fantastic wnd unsightful MODS so when my Draumer XL arrives Ill be ahead of the better methods in enjoying my hammock. !🎉
thank u very much 🙏🏻 im glad it could help. let me know how u like it when u tried ur amok 😁
Hey! What were the items you used for the foot and head end? To replace sticks. Cable trays?
This was a great explanation! I might need a new tent next year for moto camping and this might be perfect. As I am getting older sleeping on the ground sucks more and more.
Well done, "man"! ;-)
Could you make a video on those forests where is free to stay overnight?
Going to copenhagen for 3 months to work on a project. My personal project is being to plan my hikings!! Hope I can rent a kayak somewhere, it looks like out of season for this period of the year. Here in Brazil we have it the whole year lol.
that sounds awesome man. i do believe kajakhotellet.dk rents out all year. if i remember correctly, let me know if i shall check it for you. they have two spots for rental, one of them being in copenhagen central by the channels. i would recommend that one if you are gonna stay in central. let me know if u need any help with anything 😃👌🏻
I really like your style of making videos. It gives me joy and encouragement that I can learn to use these camping equipment with your unbelievable humor and thanks agin for entertaining us as well.
Cable channels - like you said - works like a charm! i ve just made 4 of them, and it cost 1,50 euros. Thanks for the great tip!
So please tell me what cable chanels are. I am an electrician but dont know this produkt/name. Maybe you have a link for such a product.
Hints, ideas on how to keep the sleeping bag from sliding out as I am getting in? The fabric of the amok and the sleeping bag are both slippery! I am not agile enough to just squirm around and pull it up when it slips. I have tried a carpet underpaid: it falls out too. I have tried pins: afraid of puncturing the air pad or ripping the amok or bag from too much pressure.. Help???!!
thank you for the information good video and tips on the modifications.
you are very welcome and im glad you liked it 😁🙏🏻
Good tips. I've used mine several times and still learned new things. Thank you.
This is the best video I have seen of the AMOK, thank you. 🇺🇸👍
This is by far the best setup video I've seen so far. Many useful tricks and adjustments I will copy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for The kind comment. And you are very welcome 😁🙏🏻
Liker videoene dine søta bror!👍
He didnot want yoy to be there so he kud do his illegal hunting in pease!
Thanks for the tips. Mine is coming this week. I can't wait to try it I out.
“Don’t shoot MY ass please!” 😂
But if it’s raining, you can’t set up this way so I thought you mentioned about setting it up if it’s bad weather. I’m guessing you set up the tarp completely overhead first.?
I really like your video. I’m looking for a backpacking bag for my 10 yr old son. However, I live in California and the link for the bag isn’t in English. Do you have a phone number for the Retailer?
What a fun camping trip! My son and I loved camping when he was little. There's just something special about sharing the forest with your son. Loved watching you and yours. Thanks!
I have the 7R. Likely the down is moving around on you. The mat isn't really built to be used like that; it's ideally a flat laying pad. I had it down to 9F last night and was really comfortable on it, and it warmed up extremely quickly.
Good to know about this! But also, now I need to know about that hammock lol
Still now, i still use this as my primary bag. Its THAT good. Even though i aquited various bags after, i still choose this one everytime. Haha, Well i have some videos about the hammock too. Look in my video list 😁
I’ve been using my Amok now for 3 years. When the weather is right (any night below 65 degrees) I will sleep out back. I have my own technique for entry and exit and it’s the method that Amok said don’t do. But I can get in and out without having to anchor my bags and equipment. I like the lanyard. I can reach without one but that will be a handy upgrade. I think you Amok is older than mine seeing that your bug net zipper starts and ends on the backside. The add on ring on the overhead line is a must do. Please use a plastic or stainless loop. Damp storage can rust your ring and stain. Great video.
Wouldn't want a rusty ring and staining😂
What are you using in place of sticks for the head/foot?
I like how he keeps saying, "No problem," but keep in mind that it's a practiced movement for him; not so much for us. Practice makes perfect!
True. But i do believe it is The easiest Way when practised
I plan on traveling to Odense to visit a friend fairly soon. I grew up in the U.S. Rhode Island where they had seaside cliff ringing Narragansett Bay. How do I find where I go to hike to those seaside cliffs. Also, I'm looking for a nice deciduous forest near Odense to hike as well.
Do you have instagram, ill dm you some details
Love the video man but that intro?? Way too long. I almost gave up and stopped watching thinking I accidentally clicked the wrong video
Agree. But as you see in my video comment i wrote that it was an accident it actually put a very long long trailer on - which it wasnt supposed to. It wss supposed to be the short one as in my other videos 😂 im sorry man.. And thx for your comment, i like that you took the time to critique it - its always a joy to get some constructive critisism 🙏🏻
Fantastisk arbeid 👍
I have the old amok draumr and the newer one, I live off grid Under a hazel tree, for 18 months so far. Your tips are brilliant, Thank you. Coldest temp got down to -7 last winter, uk, 30 miles from London, I did encounter problems, of water gathering on top of my exped mat, and under my self and my bedding…….have you encountered this ? Really enjoyed your delivery….great presentation
Water from condensation? Did you not have the bugnet on?
you are not normal...............................
Some say downmat dont isolate that good if u Are using only that even with high R value. But u can use a thin isolated math under that are cheap light weight and can roll together.
Great vid. Mine arrives Friday! Looking forward to it.
I have a tip for you: I use an Eno Atlas XL nylon strap (the kind that are usually used for the hammock) at every single tie point on the tarp, hooked in with a caribiner. If you do this, you can actually camp in extreme weather (I used this setup to sleep outdoors during tropical storms in Hawwai'i and stayed 100% dry). Those straps are so strong that the tree you are attached to would fall over before the wind could rip your tarp away. I also use a foam pad instead of the inflatable pad. Not only do I not have to pump it, but it can't pop either.
You are using an Amok Draumr with a foam pad? I know for a fact that the Draumr needs the pad to provide lengthwise support so the hammock retains its shape, so please elaborate. Is it a rollable or a foldable pad? Which hammock do you use? My only problem right now thst keeps me from buying the Draumr is lack of storm compatibility which I could get with a 4 season tarp on other hammocks.
Nice video 👌🏽
Have you tried the 5.0 seems like they fix the bug net and and line issue for you.
To 8:40 - put a little keyring in the downring. You will catch it better with the hook.
I actually did that some time ago. Works very Well. Thx for the advice though 😁🙏🏻
Might be a silly question , Would the Synmat be to warm in the summertime ?
Theres no dumb questions 😁🙏🏻 no its quite alright in summertime, i use Exactly that synmat all through summer too 👌🏻
@@ExpeditionHawk Thanks bud.
@@bobbah676 no sweat 😁👍🏻
great review video - thank you. I have both the 4 and the 5XL (no 3) but just got the 4 today (got it really cheap so bought it as a possible backup or loaner) and was wondering what all the differences were. Other than the bugnet - which they made much better IMO on the 5 for sure I couldn't really figure out what those differences were - so now I know as I have been in my 5 many times and absolutely love it. Now that I know about the bugnet I have some hack Ideas I may try with it once I get it hung and lie in it for a while - AGAIN THANKS - oh and if you figure out what causes the stains or how to get them out - please if you would let me know. I don't see any on mine now but if it is a problem I sure would appreciate knowing how to get them out.
That sounds awesome man 🙏🏻 i better try the 5 soon 😂 i sure will let u know when i try to remove the stains, and let me know how the hack turns out for you 😁
Hawk’s definitely having two person parties inside the Draumr 4.0 😂
