Amok Equipment has developed and released the much anticipated Amok Draumr 3.0.  This model was developed with ideas and suggestions made off the wildly popular Draumr 2.0.  The staff at Amok listened to the requests and developed a hammock unlike anything I have slept in before.  This head turning hammock is more than just something to look at.  It's functionality and ease of setup make it a perfect piece of gear for anyone, from the general car camper to trail junkies like myself.

The hammock requires a sleeping pad which you can look at by clicking the link.  The sleeping pad provides structural support for the hammock and creates a flat sleeping surface.  This is important for those of you who thought you could never get away with packing your bag with a hammock setup for fear that you wouldn't get a good night sleep without being able to flip over to your stomach.  Amok equipment has taken away all your worries.

What impressed me most after getting past its unique design were all the small details that were built into the hammock.  From the different color carabiners,  the Velcro loops sewn in at every tie out point and the adjustable cord locks on the guy lines , you just get the feeling you are carrying high quality gear that will last on the toughest trails.

For those of us who are avid backpackers, we are always looking to multipurpose our gear, whatever it may be.  The fact that you can turn this hammock into 3 different modes was a show stopper for me.  Setting up your Draumr in chair mode after a long day on the trail gives you the opportunity to sit and comfort and socialize while keeping you off the ground.  The removable bug netting and pocket are simple and easy to tuck away while not being used.  Overall there are not enough great things I can say about this hammock.  If you are a stomach sleeper and have been looking for an alternative to your tent or you are a die hard hammocker looking for a new experience the Draumr 3.0 won't disappoint.
