Amok Draumr – Anyone tried one?

I have not tried it myself, but have had my eye on variations of this design . For the UL crowd, the "90 degree hammock" might be an even better option. http://www.hammocktent.com/en/products/tarps

Wow, I want one. It's not even that practical considering the direction I'm moving wrt shelter weight, but I want one.

… when it came out, there was a short discussion about it here on BPL. –

However, it is now in its v3.
Too expensive for me right now, but if it appeared by magic, I'd be very happy!

Very interesting. Wonder how it performs in wet and/or windy weather?

"Very interesting. Wonder how it performs in wet and/or windy weather?"

I wondered the same thing. I was a hammocker for 6yrs and the inability to get full coverage (esp wind) killed the benefits. Traditional hammocks at least offer the ability to create steep tarp sides deflecting some wind/rain. This design, albeit very comfortable looking, looks very exposed.

Being rag-dolled all night in a hammock is a great way to ruin a trip. :)

Spendy, especially considering that you need to add your own air pad, BUT I really like the fact that they incorporate an air pad for bottom insulation. I've been after that concept for hammocks for years. The 90-degree thing, not so much.

Wow, the 90 degree hammock is also pretty neat, and absurdly expensive. Haha.

Shug (of youtube/hammock fame) has a few videos on the Amok. He was pretty impressed with it, conceding of course the weight.

"amok" is a Filipino word (in most of the 60-odd dialects) that means "crazy". Is this hammock design crazy?
(Being of the tenter persuasion I wouldn't know.)
