    Or use a quilt instead of a sleeping bag. Then you can put it to the side, tucked in under the side straps and just pull it out and over you when you’re in place.

      Yes I always use a quilt but I find it is still very slippery when in the hammock

    This hack has made such a difference to my amok experience, thank you. I cut down some IKEA carpet gripper/underlay.

    Hi. Good video. Love my Amok Draumr, but getting inside the sleeping bag is challenging. I didn't catch the name of the "grippy stuff"

    • @ShadowCamping

      I share your pain, yes the grippy stuff is 120x180mm non slip multipurpose mat, £16.95 0n Amazon UK. Hope to hear how you get on with sticky Amoking. 👍

      Also I would clip it at the bottom as well because after a night of carefree movement the bottom did ruck up a little bit. 👍

      @@ShadowCampingmaybe pin this person’s comment. I too was looking for a link or name as I didn’t catch you saying it either.
      And turns out I had one of these in my house already. Life saver btw! I am tired of slipping down to the foot end while I sleep - can’t avoid tossing and turning

    • @pedroclaro7822
      @pedroclaro7822 11 месяцев назад

      And I’m just gonna use a bit for my torso, and see how that goes.
      As for the sleeping bag, I’ve been draping it over the ridgeline till I’m inside the Draumr. But I have mostly used my bag as a quilt, and I understand thst getting the bag under you after being lain down is harder than placing it under you off the bat.
      Do you get cold drafts between your body and the pad while you sleep? I found that to be an issue when sleeping with winds parallel to how I lay down

      @@ShadowCamping there is an officiall video of the Amok (how not to get in a draumr or smth simmilar), where head first is one of the ways to get in. I have tried it and it works ;) but entering from the side is my preffered way.

      Sounds good, I might try on a cheaper tent or a sleeping cot first as the Amok is very expensive and see how it works on that. It is a shame that the manufacturers do not choose a less slippery material so we did't have to try and fix it. I always use a quilt now as I don't like being restricted in a sleeping bag. Thanks for all the advice. All the best 👍

      There are a growing number of 90⁰ flat lay hammocks. I do sleep well in my Draumr and love the room, but it takes up too much of the bedroom, so I am using a Haven inside instead.

    This is utterly absurd. To start off, the guy doesn’t get in on the side like you’re supposed to. It’s simple to just hook your bag under the strap on the side opposite where you’re getting in so it doesn’t slide down. And you don’t sleep ON A QUILT. 🤦‍♂️ What a clown. 🤡

      Some people seem to be unable/unwilling to understand others, and some even cruel to different minded people. Mind your own business instead of talking to lowly to such a nice chap. If it were in person you’d likely pay for being rude with a tooth but ig some people think it’s okay to be asshats just because there’s no consequences to themselves

      Amok themselves have a video that shows different ways of getting in and end-straddle is one of them if you are tall enough to do it.
