The giveaway has CLOSED (see June 14 livestream for winner)
*1)* Someone created an account called "Text on Telegram @LostLakes" and used our logo and was responding to people to tell them they had won. Some kind of scam. Their account has been banned on this channel but please watch out. There will be a separate draw video.
*2)* FYI, these are all my own thoughts. Amok had no part in creating or reviewing the content. They ask nothing to enter the draw, no hoops to jump through...they are just generously giving away a set. If you're interested the draumr, check out Amok's channel here:
ua-cam.com/users/AmokEquipment
*3) GIVEAWAY*
Please read the rules in the description if you want to enter the draw. In a nutshell, all you have to do to enter is write one new comment and keep it PG (e.g. ask a question about the draumr, tell us which model/colour you would pick, etc). Any new comment will be eligible for the draw as long as it isn't offensive. I'm hoping to run the draw mid next week around June 16th unless I start a big trip before then in which case it will be after.
Hey Jon, just FYI there is a scammer commenting on people's comments saying they've won. Terrible that this is something we all have to worry about these days. I hope YT deals with it!
I was just about to say the same thing! Every reply I try to @ him gets deleted also.
@@alivia4907 I reported several instances, but it's pretty much impossible to fight as an individual. YT needs to work on this. And it's sad that it's the naive or vulnerable who fall for these sort of things.
Yup the POS just tried to scam me on telegram saying I've won.
I just got the message too via Telegram. I started questioning them because it clearly states in the rules that the winner would be notified via a video on the channel they deleted the conversation. That's terrible. I realize it isn't the channel's fault.
I never would have considered hammock camping if not for advocates like yourself and Xander Budnick, who go out and really put these items through the paces. I enjoy your content and appreciate the hard work to bring it to us. Also, your selfless ambassador adjacent work will hopefully bring more light to Amok. Love the yellow one!
I love the idea of not being on the hard ground. Also what a great way to have a different unique perspective from your sleeping position.
The engineering that Amok has invested in these hammocks is unbelievable. My wife and our girls watch your channel all the time and are inspired each and every time a new vid drops! Thank you Jon for your commitment and dedication to such a fantastic channel!
Hey John, ive been watching your channel for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed your content. I do not get much time off and your channel has allowed me to curtail my canoeing experiences so they are more enjoyable without going through the trial and error process.
Ever since I have seen your channel with the Draumar I have been thinking of getting one as they look amazing!!
Keep up the amazing work and content. I wish I had your job !!
My wife and I both bought one, honestly just on John’s experience he shared, so a bit of a risk as there were very few reviews at the time.
One year in and we are dying to get back into ours! It is the most comfortable sleep either of us has ever had, including our home bed.
Amazing quality, engineering, value, comfort, and all round value! Nothing else comes close!
Thanks John and Erin for introducing us!
Love hearing this. I just bought one 5 minutes ago... cant wait for it to get here and bring it out in the field!
Awesome! You will love it!
I do recommend you take it to a local wooded area to set it uo and get used to it first. It takes a but to get used to but on even it you do not becomes a breeze.
Been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and I love every minute of it. It’s so relaxing and heart warming. And the Amok seems like the camping gear of choice. Good luck to everyone
I have been tent camping since I was 7 and I have been on the fence about switching up my style. Your channel specifically introduced me to Amok among a plethora of other things !
Every video you release fuels my desire to hammock camp. I really, really can't wait to try it out in the future. I will miss being close to my wife but it really makes sense when it comes to picking sites to camp in the bush. Thanks, John, for providing so much knowledge to those of us who are curious.
I sleep better in my Draumr than I do in my expensive bed at home, seriously.
Jon, thank you for continuing to share your excursions into the wild. I am finding that I may have my own love for the wilderness and just never knew it. Having one of these hammocks would certainly go a long way in helping ease into my newly discovered hobby. A big shout out goes to both Amok and yourself. Thanks guys!
Love that you are taking the time to explain how this works. From day one I have wanted one. Missed this earlier because I was out on my own adventure!!! Very cool!!!
Been eyeing this hammock for a while now as I have low back problems and tent camping is only getting more difficult for me to do. The idea of laying flat, bug free in the trees instead of having to get down low and get back up again is really appealing. Great channel BTW, someday when I get to move back to the north I hope to get in a fraction of the paddling you get to do!
Thanks a lot Rick. I used to have back pain sleeping on a pad on the ground
Same here man. I don't have this beast, just a normal one but it's sooo comfortable. Never had back problems again camping. Just make sure you get an under-quilt or one where you can put a pad in, or your bum will get cold.
The two key things I've learned owning the Amok Draumr is 1) you definitely want their inflatable pad, not some thermarest or something else; their pad is critical to comfort in this hammock, and 2) pull the hammock lines tight and I mean tight otherwise you will get a burrito effect. But with their pad and good, tight lines this bed is glorious for chronic back pain sufferers like me!
in years past, while camping and portaging with my spouse, there were nights after particularly hard days where a tent would be preferred; its nice to have a partner in the sleeping bag. I did see some tent hammocks in the past, much more rigid frame; but never tried one. If I win the thing please donate it to any young person who's into camping but cannot afford one; I definitely have been in that situation from time to time.
You da man
I love your content and beautiful trips you take. I am impressed with not only with the summer treks but hot tenting in the winter. The fact you and Erin both love the outdoors and true back country camping puts your content above all others in my humble opinion. Blessings to you both.
Jon and Erin, thank you for showing the World how beautiful is Canadian nature and for educating people how to behave out there.
You inspired me to go backpacking and canoe tripping in my fifties.
The hammock looks great. I have it on my wish list for some time.
I'd go with red... kind of wish the tarps came in brighter colours. For camping, I like bright colours.
As for a question --- what are the weight limits? I know they're meant for one person for sleeping, but can they handle a cosy couple for just hanging out or cuddling?
... and here come the scammers. Reported and Ignored...
Don't think they're made for two..
I agree with you,the yellow looks pretty awesome..always tought about buying a Draumr
Thanks for the contest Jon and Amok! I've had a Draumr in the shopping cart many times and never pulled the trigger. As you mention, it would be great to have more options when picking a spot to call home for the night. Keep up the great videos!
First saw Xander use the Amok, then found your channel through his and saw you using it. You guys are both amazing; love your videos.
I've never slept in a hammock before, but absolutely loved the portion of your video where you showed looking out from under the protection of the tarp, watching the rain during a rainstorm. Nature's sedative right there. Truly awesome!
I love the design of the Amok! Must be great waking up and look over the sea from your draumr...
Since watching this channel I've genuinely been more interested in this hammock and this overview does a great job. Thanks 👍
Haven’t been camping in a couple years now… miss it. Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m back in the woods myself. Thank you
My wife and I are avid campers and have enjoyed spending more of our time at home living vicariously through your adventures when we can't go out ourselves. Thanks for putting out genuine content that we can enjoy!
Thank you for all of your videos. I have found them to be extremely cathartic during covid. I normally take a fishing trip to the Ontario side of Lake of the Woods and have been missing it over the last 4 years. Thankfully, I was just able to go back and experience the beauty again.
Awesome. Thanks for rapid fire info, these things look super comfy.
This video was great, as I had a lot of questions about the Amok draumr. I always see you using it even in the winter and knew it was your "go to" camp set-up. Been on the fence about making the switch from a tent. Thank you so much for the info on it. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful adventures. Best of luck.
I've been thinking of switching over to a hammock... so I appreciate the information, very helpful. The yellow hammock rocks.
We love watching all your vlogs…..especially the ones that show Lake Superior. Thank you for all you do for us. Keep up the great work.
Love your channel Jon. I have been canoeing for some years, so its nice to see the passion you have for canoeing and the outdoors. I have be stuck on using a tent, but this video will have me looking at the Amok Draumer.
Lovely kit. I have trouble sleeping in regular hammocks so this would be a great alternative.
Have tried out the Amok on a couple trips now.. sooooo comfortable and versatile... absolutely love it.. thanks for introducing me to hammock camping!!
Great video. I've been looking at these hammocks for a while now, they look like the best solution for a side sleeper.
Love your videos, been watching them for a couple of years now.. I got my mother and sister addicted to them as well. Amazing calm energy and fun to watch... Never slept in a hammock before as I have always used tents.... Been skeptical of hammocks up until see you do so often....
I have been wanting one of these for a while! I have so many chronic pain conditions and I think this could really help. Great overview video, Jon. Thanks.
Thanks for the run through of this hammock. I have been considering getting this hammock after watching you use this for some time. As I get older, I seek more comfort than I get on the ground. Great videos and great channel.
That chair feature is so cool! I've been wanting one of these for so long!
Thank you John! I let life take me away from my love for 25 years. Your videos have rekindled that love and passion for the outdoors. I have been slowly rebuilding my supplies, a brand new Draumr would be amazing! Thank you again!
Love your videos, Jon! I've been interested in hammock camping for a few years now and the Amok setup looks ideal!
I have been watching your vids for a while and have started collecting camping equipment. Your hammock has been on my radar for a while now.
Thanks for the run down so i fully understand how good this product is.
Thanks for another great review Jon. I appreciate how you explain the pros and cons of the gear you use. Keep up the great work!
I have been on the fence about hammock camping for a while now, but after watching so many videos on your channel, I have been thinking of switching over. The functionality of the Draumr is very appealing. I like the fact that it seems more spacious with way more area to spread out compared to a normal hammock - something that had been putting me off trying regular hammocks.
I really enjoy your channel and appreciate all the effort/work you put into your videos! :)
Hey Jon, great giveaway! I’m turning 50 this year and i think the Amok hammock might be the solution to alleviating many of the aches and pains that come along with tent camping. It certainly ticks all the boxes! Looking forward to more great content. BTW, in between the new stuff, I’m also now enjoying your earlier videos. Raw, authentic trip reports with lots of creative humour. Cheers!
Looks amazingly comfortable! I hammock camp but that’s a whole different level!
I am tempted to try one of these for weekend camping in the Adirondacks. Seems like the perfect balance of comfort and ease of packing. Thanks for the review!
I always thought hammock camping seemed uncomfortable and awkward until I saw you and Erin in your Draumrs in your videos. Definitely seems to open up your campsite options. Thanks for sharing this and all of your canoeing adventures!
Love your videos! You guys have become a part of our Friday nights during the winter. I have the Segl XL for my backyard and would love to try the Draumr, I would definitely pick the yellow...I think it would look stunning against the trees 💛
Thanks for all the great videos and sharing your experiences with us!
Excellent video showcasing all the benefits of the Amok and all the detail that went into engineering it! I love watching your channel, your videos are always calming and a great way to relax after work. Through watching your videos I was inspired to go on my own solo backcountry adventures!
Hi Jon, always excited to see when your videos drop - they've inspired me to get outdoors more and I'm planning my first camping trip this summer. Congrats on growing the channel to what it is today, keep up the great work!
Just received my first Amok! I'm gonna try it tonight. Can't wait!
Looks great, much less complicated setup than some hammocks I've used.
Well, might as well give it a shot. Thank you for doing these videos, got introduced to a lot of cool stuff & knowledge.
WOW - what a sales pitch !!!!!!!! you got me hooked....thanks
I love the sage green color. Blends well. As a side sleeper and avid reader/rocker this is the perfect camping set up for me. The only concern I had was the balancing and you explained that well. I would LOVE to use this hammock on my horse camping trips. Thank you for explaining how this amazing hammock works! Great Job
Great vid Jon; as usual for you, you provided all the info we needed succinctly and accurately. I just wish I had had one in my camping days; don’t think my back ever recovered from sleeping on the ground! Keep up the good work!
That looks so comfortable, would love a light green one!
I love the green version. Blends in nicely to the foliage on the east coast where I’m at!
Good luck folks!
Love the content! You've always made the hammock look so comfortable, I've never camped with one before but I've heard good things
Great video! I can really appreciate your experience and knowledge of these products, John. After watching so many of your videos, where you clearly enjoy using the AMOK, I believe you’ve pretty much convinced me to try out hammock camping. Me being a strict tent camper for the past 7 years.
Thanks!
Love your channel! My wife and I both look forward too your new adventures! Peace and blessings. The system looks well thought out.
I thought you’d get wet in a long rainstorm, but the tarp has more coverage than I assumed. Love how you can see out, sit up and read and sleep flat.
Loved the videos. For some reason the hot tent camping are my favorite. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures
I picked up a Draumr after watching your channel. Used it for the first time last month while camping on the Rideau waterway. I’m blown away how comfortable and convenient the whole setup is…very well designed. My pup (60lbs) also shacked up with me a couple of nights and we both slept very well! Now looking to pick one up for the wife. Thanks for the fantastic content!
Awesome giveaway!! My husband just purchased his first Amok Draumr this year, and I'm hoping to get one next for our adventures! We love your channel- thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for all the beautiful videos. I've been longing for one of these since it first appeared in your content.
Definitely looks like a game changer in the hammock world!! I usually backcountry camp in a little 2 person tent which hasn't been too bad, but I can see the advantages this thing brings and the weight is about the same as my tent!
I have The Draumer XL and it has been amazing. I take it on my Sea Doo Adventures to the back country and it has never failed me! Great video Cheers!
I have been looking at the Amok for a couple of years. You always have positive comments about it and it is definately on my list of upgrades of my gear
Love your channel, very appreciative of how respectful you are of the fish that you catch! I’ve tried to implement the same approach when I’m on the water.
Also, fingers crossed for the hammock! 🤞
I have been hammock camping for a few years now and love it. I've build 2 of my own and really like them but with my back and neck issues I truly believe the Amok would be the best thing out there for me. The features and quality are top notch, putting it outside my price range. I can't tell you how many times I've had the blue one in my cart dreaming I could hit the buy button.
Love your channel. I’ve always had a better sleep in my hammock than a tent. Very curious about the Draumr.
Very cool hammock, great set up! And you did great job showing it off and explaining everything about it! Cheers
Hi John - I do travel the areas you trip, but don’t get to experience them on the scale you do! Love that you “Rep the North” and translate it’s beauty!! I know seeing you use the Amok Draumr repeatedly on your trips that it works superior to a tent - or you wouldn’t be bringing it. It also speaks to the quality of the product & design. A great hammock tent for great Northern Ontario adventures! Stay Wild
Great thorough review of the Amok. I purchased the Haven hammock last year so am just trying it out. Definitely the Amok is the Cadillac in this category
Love your videos. Can't wait for the next.
Have been looking at this for a while! Super cool, thanks for doing this. Would love to snag one of these.
I may as well give it a shot!
Hammock is always my go to in the woods. This one looks awesome. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! I’d love to try one of these!
Great video Jon. Thanks for all the info!
Lost Lakes videos have inspired me to explore outdoors more. Thanks Jon and Erin! The Amok Draumr I recently bought (and love!) has helped my back issues improve a lot, so I can camp more and I'm thinking of hanging every night even at home!
Thank you for this in depth review and Q&A. I love the green.. these hammocks look so cozy. 👍
Did my first trip last month with my AMOK! Best nights sleep ever! Thank you John for introducing my gf and me to this amazing backcountry sleep shelter!! Keep on keep’n on!
Interesting design! Really like the chair mode! I have been using a Hennessy for years and would love to try this out! Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you for the in-depth review. I need one of these in my life.
Thanks Jon for the info on this hammock. It looks more appealing than some of the other hammocks that do not allow you the “sleep flat “ option. Looks very roomy and with the different modes it serves as not just a hammock but a place to just sit and read and enjoy the scenery. I will definitely be looking into this more.
This looks perfect! My husband and I want to try hammock camping but I haven't been impressed by the options, but this looks like a winner! I love the sleeping orientation. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jon! We love to watch you channel and really love the hammock camping videos. It looks so comfortable and the green is such a gorgeous color! Thank you for sharing this and other amazing products that you love to use. I’m in school right now, so we don’t get enough time to camp but graduation is right around the corner!
Awesome new concept for a hammock. Can't wait to see more videos on this item.
Thank you for all the great content. Im sure filming with all the other adventure it can be difficult. First time seeing the Amok in use was a video you put out a long time ago. Seems pretty sweet!
Love it! Thanks for introducing me to this!
The Draumr looks awesome - thanks for all the cool northern trips!
Great video. Love the lay flat design.
Your videos and travels are so inspiring. Been coveting that life and this hammock for years.
I love the idea of sleeping in a hammock, but have never done it. Ive always had tents. After watching you for the past couple years I've really come to the point of wanting one for canoeing and camping in Western NC...Great Smokies. Love to see your channel growing!!! Enjoy!!!
Thanks Jon . Very informative. Keep up the good work !! Cheers
I've been thinking about trying a hammock for years. This has certainly piqued my interest! I LOVE the idea that I only need trees to set up my bed. Looking for flat and smooth ground can be very challenging on most of the wilderness trips we do. Thanks for the Canadian Content and the honest reviews. I pay attention when someone tells me they've spent over 200 nights in one of these!
Lovin' what you guys do here. Keep up the great work. Wishing you lots of continued success.
I've been teetering on the edge of moving to a hammock and this is the push that I needed. Super helpful video.
I’ve been debating about getting one. Thanks for all the info on it! I love the yellow.
I love this! I do a lot of camping in Northern California and would love to try this. Very clever design!
