I did a bit research and although pads with tubes running length ways are better the amok works with both. No support at either end. A bit of ply may help
I have the same hammock, tried it with a long ways sleep mat, its still totally useless, i asked for my money back, and got a full refund.. And was told to keep the hammock as to return it to china would be troublesome. I might do i vid if i can be botherd to modify it
I have an Amok and they are very well made, " got to be to carry this overburdened lump!" One thing I did notice on the knock off mate is the air pad seems to have the baffles going the wrong way ! On an original Amok they say to use air pads that have baffles that run the length and not across. This is to give it structural strength and I use an Exped mat, and it works very well. Having said that, the one your lady wife so elegantly demoed does look like a proper bit of dross. There is another one you might want to take a butchers at bud. The Haven tent Hammock, looks like a mighty fine bit of kit and I was looking at getting one, " Cost a bit mind you". But again I don't mind paying for quality, however again there is already a knock off item out which also looks to be a proper bit of dross. Good helpful video mate thanks for sharing.
That was so funny, near the beginning being serious, then your wife's contribution, class, well tidy, made my day, good video especially near the beginning
I have a clone , though mine seems to be of better quality than this one and actually works as expected, i can even use it without a mattress, came with medium quality strapping and crap carrabenas. Came with no instructions and straps weren't even connected up. Took about 5 mins to figure out how to do the straps and set ridgeline, quality of fly net was okay but the Finish all-round needs work. I definitely would consider the original now i have this, i am just glad i never ended up with the version you have.
Nobby, I made a video showing my use of the home made stove, based on your video, on a hike down to Luccombe beach. It's called Part 2 Luccombe Beach Hike on my channel. A friend lent me his GoPro 6 to play with. There's zero video making skills in it, just a bunch of joined up clips with my brain farts.
Try a different pad the air baffles are the wrong way to support the weight it might help, if someone is on a budget! My amok cost me £450 but worth every penny
@@Nobby77 only hammock camp twice always slept on ground the wee hammock i got i think east anglian bush craft uses it agree knock offs waist of money i am a jock just bought a karrimor fellman 40 bergan from charity shop for 4 pound 70s 80s style it will become my wee wood land bergan wife laughs at me 😁
The amoks quality is much better, however you are using the wrong mattress, and I believe what you are experiencing for a lay would not be like that if the baffles were vertical...
Possibly but there is zero support at head or legs, as you can still bend pads with long baffles I cant see it having a different outcome. I did watch AMOKS vid demonstrating a variety of pads including one similar to the one I used and all worked. The quality of this thing is terrible. I'd avoid at all costs
Enjoyed the video Nobby, will you be stashing the useless hammock with that useless blow up tent come poncho you tested a few weeks ago?? Or you could do a video on how to improve or make your own (sleep the wrong way hammock) It could end up being a bit Tippy😂 More of Mrs Nobby please, she's funny!!
More and dross with dodgy descriptions cropping up on Amazon. I have ordered the same socks seven times and they still keep turning up with no toes section in them. Just a big wiggly waggly hole. Every effin' time. Mind you plenty of cheap tube bandages in my XL Trauma med-kit. People should appreciate your heartfelt public service here. Mind you, again, using the lady as the experimental 'toe in the water' was a bit cheeky.
To my shame I have a couple of Chinese tents. They are pretty good and cheap, but knockoffs none the less. Someone spent some time and money getting them right and Chinese companies have stolen their IP. I suppose buying this gear is akin to supporting video piracy. But it is worse than that. I'm Australian and our priminister suggested that there should be an independent inquiry into the origins of covid19. Or export industries have been punished by China in retaliation. A Chinese business man a step removed from the CCP tweeted that they should launch missiles on Australian cities. No more knock off gear for me.
Had another poor nights sleep in Onewind could be down to me setting up. Going try again but thinking about Haven like the look of Amok but they look such a sh!tbag to get in & out. Wonder what a copy was like. Yep think give that a miss
Your Missus made the best two points, but you edited them out. One could say that she ran amok. 😉🤦♂️😜👀 And, you said ULU. 😂 I'm trying to get ULUCRAFT into the dictionary.
Hope you don't mind me linking, but if your viewers want to see the Draumr, this isnt a bad review ua-cam.com/video/qpxrVzZSFfs/v-deo.html There really is no comparison.
I got a full refund and made a vid saying it was utter shite. Gave a long spiel about why things cost what they cost. Fail to see how I made anything worse.
@@Nobby77 yeh fair one if you sent it back but you should know never to buy knock-offs. The guys at amok are constantly fighting the fakes sellers and fake Instagram adverts for them, using there likeness without consent and trying to make money off their hard work. Not like you got a real one since to show the true quality
Did you even watch the vid?. The whole point of it was to stop people buying fakes. I won't be buying an amok in the near future as they are too pricey in my opinion and pack size isn't the best.
Not defending a sh** product but you are supposed use a Matt with air chambers that run longways to help with support

Been tried with both pads and is useless. I bought this knowing it'd be shite in the hope the vid would stop others buying the same
I don't know if I should praise or curse your editing skills at the 1m 13s mark....😉
1:13 and 1:37
The look when you said "I'm gonna strap 'er up between these two trees"......
If only
That was so funny, near the beginning being serious, then your wife's contribution, class, well tidy, made my day, good video especially near the beginning
Cheers, she has her moments
Acrock of Shiteamur more like.. Cheers for the review mate.. and your missus is a star... [ shame about the editing gremlins though ! ]
Didn't notice a hammock in this video, too busy watching the piss taking going on in the background.
Lol
Superb revue, you have convinced me to buy a hammock. Thank you!
Youd like it
Love your wife. So funny. So, reading between the lines you don’t like it? What’s the best double hammock you’d recommend? Money no object.
Any hammock 3.3m by 1.6m or bigger Darren
Decathlon has a nice one for 30. Onewind is fantastic and their tarps too.
Money no object I'd go with the draumr

This thing was utter trash dude
Thanks for saving a lots of people's time and money Nobby,
Hope so
I think your wife is fantastic she is funny as hell . Great video guys cant wait for the next one xx
Shes a pain in my a@$ pmsl

I'll have a butchers dude
I agree with you and your misses Nobby it's not worth buying it it's rubbish.
Nobby, your lady is a treat! 😂😂
Very entertaining video you two lovely people!! 😎😁🎉
Im a lucky man Tony. She keeps me on my toes

Great review. I was thinking about buying a clone. No way now!!
Avoid avoid avoid
Try a different pad the air baffles are the wrong way to support the weight it might help, if someone is on a budget! My amok cost me £450 but worth every penny
Doesn't work with any mat mate
bought a covacure hammock 28 pound ebay not a knock off good wee hammock for price luv the channel banter
Nowt wrong with budget gear mate. Knock offs are usually pants tho
@@Nobby77 only hammock camp twice always slept on ground the wee hammock i got i think east anglian bush craft uses it agree knock offs waist of money i am a jock just bought a karrimor fellman 40 bergan from charity shop for 4 pound 70s 80s style it will become my wee wood land bergan wife laughs at me 😁
Sadly only found this after ordering - will be entertaining to see if I can make it work
It's pants mate, get on to them for a refund as soon as it turns up.
@@downsouthsafaris6788 and the answer is?
The amoks quality is much better, however you are using the wrong mattress, and I believe what you are experiencing for a lay would not be like that if the baffles were vertical...

The air mattress air cubes are ment to be going long ways not across.. I have a amok and it will not work with that kind of air bed.
Doesn't work with any mat 😕
I have two draumr hammocks the pad does slide in the same way also you need an airman with tubes running lengthways but your right it's garbage
Doesn't work with any mat pmsl
Thanks for the heads up Lee -
The baffels in the pad are in the wrong direction
Enjoyed the video Nobby, will you be stashing the useless hammock with that useless blow up tent come poncho you tested a few weeks ago??
Or you could do a video on how to improve or make your own (sleep the wrong way hammock)
It could end up being a bit Tippy😂
More of Mrs Nobby please, she's funny!!
Cheers Andy, Constantly trying to get her out more.

Need any brufen to go with your tubey grips
@@Nobby77 Nahhhh mate. Thanks, but I am Long term arthritic. I have masses of the buggers. Out of date, mostly, but hey, always loved a bit of risk .
Your better half was great. I have no idea what you were actually rabbiting on about though. 😂
The old smoke and mirrors lol

Not ideal
Your wife is brilliant 😄
She is indeed Claire. Makes me chuckle a lot.
Mrs S.A.F.T.S. Is an absolute hoot🤣😁😂👍.
Buy once, cry once🤔👍.

Surprised by the onewind mate? Have you adjusted the ridgeline. Make yourself a bridge hammock.
Your Missus made the best two points, but you edited them out. One could say that she ran amok. 😉🤦♂️😜👀 And, you said ULU. 😂 I'm trying to get ULUCRAFT into the dictionary.
Ba dum tsch
Do you think it would work better with a pad with vertical baffles rather than horizontal? Not that I believe in that knock off crap anyway 🤣
Sorry, just saw someone else ask the same. Ignore me 👍
In short no, a couple bit of 4x2 may stand a chance
@@Nobby77 🤣
Buy well buy once.
Good vid. Proving you get what you pay for.
It is dross mate
Your Mrs is a great sport
Shes a giggle dude

So why did you support the fakes and give them your money, well done for making the problem worse

@@Nobby77 I just got the UL it’s smaller and lighter than all of them

Sorry dude

@@Nobby77 sorry dude.....we all love bramble head really....

I'm still laughing at this video. I'm pretty sure they designed this clone for bats.
It is a truly dire bit of kit
