hi, i’m jonas from amok equipment in this video i will talk about the detailsof our draumr 3.0 hammock and show you how to use it. it is a kickass camping hammock made for sleepingoutdoors. the draumr’s main features are flat sleep,integrated bug net and chair mode. when you first open your hammock you’llfind a user manual in a small pocket inside this can also be found online. now i will demonstrate how to set up the hammock. first, take out the integrated suspension straps.
the carabiners are color-coded like on a boat. green to the right and red to the left - seen from inside the hammock. start with the green carabiner. loop the carabiner around the tree. and attach it on the tree-strap. pull the hammock out of the bag. and before you attach this strap around thetree, make sure that the hammock is not twisted. now the far corner is ok, but this corneris still twisted
so i just loop the webbing around like this. then it’s straight and you can attach theother strap. the carabiner should be pointing upwards - like this and the webbing should run straight through the carabiner and around the tree. make sure that the webbing feeds straightthrough the cinch buckle. so this is very bad. this can start to slide.make sure it is fed straight through the buckle just make sure it is fed straight through the buckle like this. that’s ok. then adjust the buckle.
upwards like this. and downwards like this. adjust the buckles so the hammock is balancedbetween the trees. make sure the ridgeline is level. that looks good. and that the suspension straps have a 30 degreeangle up towards the trees. the hammock is specially designed for a sleepingpad. the pad stretches out the hammock and givesit structure. it also keep you warm at night. open the zipper in the head end, and insertthe sleeping pad into the sleeping pad pocket.
the pad pocket locks the pad in place, andyou must use it. at the other end, the foot end, there is ahole that allows you to pull the pad in place. now i’m going to show you how to enter the hammock. my favorite way, of entering, is folding thefoot-end over itself. and you want to sit in the middle, betweenthe grey pockets. so step inside like this. grab a hold of the ridgeline. then, lean back. another way of entering the hammock, is simplyby standing in the middle. grabbing a hold of the sides of the hammock,pushing down, sitting down in the middle,
then leaning back. hanging the hammock as low as possible makesentering a lot easier, and also safer. sometimes you may think you’re lying flat but you’re actually tilted towardsthe foot-end of the hammock. the solution is to trust the hammock and movefurther towards the back. just grab a hold of the sides here. and now i’m actually truly flat. so in this hammock you can sleep on your back, on your side
or even on your stomach. in addition to being flat, this hammock alsohas a chair mode. by adjusting the knee panels, while raisingyour knees – you’ll lift them. then afterwards lean forward and tighten thestraps in the back. the chair mode is great for fishing, readinga book, or having a beer. in this corner there is a bug net.you can take it out. on the middle you’ll find a small carabiner – it clips on tothe ridgeline. then you zip the bug net on, all the way around.
the bug net can be opened from both insideand outside. and on the inside you can also adjust theposition of the bug net, so it’s tighter. you can also adjust it towards or away from your head. this can be used when you use the hammock as a chair. behind your head, there is a shock cord that youcan attach to the ground like a guy line and it can be adjusted from the inside. it will help to keep the bug net away from your face. for protection against the elements, we’vedesigned a special tarp for the draumr™ hammocks. this is an optional item.
if it’s raining, you start by pitching thetarp. just pitch it high on the trees so that you have enough clearance to pitch the hammock underneath it afterwards. but if it is sunny like today, you start withthe hammock. and you can pitch the tarp later if you think it might rain. now i’m going to show you how to pitch the tarp. you take the dark grey guy lines, forthe ridge. you start with the corner that’s attachedto the stuff-sack. try to get it as high as possible.
pull out the roof. you start by making the ridge even, and level,between the trees. yeah, that looks good. you can also half-pitch the tarp. you don’t have to pitch it fully at once. you should always store the stake-bag insidethe stuff-sack, so you don’t loose it. if you want to pitch it all the way you do like this. there we go.
and here you can see the view from inside. looks quite good!
