 Hello and welcome to another video it's been a while I'm back something that I've been looking forward to for ages I've had this on my radar for a long time for a good few years actually and it is the Amok hammock the drama I've gone for the ultra light XL version with the winter light XL sleep pad that goes with it Sgold 10 multi tarp that goes with it and also it comes with these two spacer bars you can use a stick but these are perfectly designed for it the Amok are my lightings all over the place shouldn't grumble really but my lightings over all over there's aeroplanes kicking about dogs keep coming from off these paths in this wood because I'm down south and you can't get a moment's respite from human activity down here but we're keeping a breath face we're chipper and we're going to get stuck into it let's go can you even sit you can't even see me is that my light there look dark and shadowy I don't want to do this dark sound there's dogs barking look this is the truth aww cards full check check two check three check four check five check check republic whatever take 572 let's just do this hammock review of this hammock that I've wanted for so long it's a joyous occasion it's the first time I've said it up I want to show you around it look at how individual it is and how cool it is and this is like take 30 it's hard to keep going mate because watch they'll be just a personal just walk past there or a dog will run up and start chewing stuff a plane will go over someone will try and mug me I'll get tazered staying zen I'm staying zen and positive I don't know me I just think where I am down south is not conducive to me hobbies there I've said it it's not it's not there's too many people there's not enough wild space I don't know how you do it I don't know how people who live down here who like to be away from it all do it it's too much claustrophobic mate and that's why and I'm gonna just this is supposed to be a review video but whatever I haven't been very consistent on here I've been missing me weekly uploads on the regular and just not being consistent putting out the things that I want to put out and the one of the reasons is that it's where I'm where I'm living at the moment is just it's not wild enough for me and it's just not inspiring so this side of my life is taking a bit of a back step while I focus on other things so that's it for now I do apologise for that I know I'll do better that's I've already showed you this and I I don't know which but it wants like take 50 have I shown you this which bit have I done an absolute car crash of a review I was like let's do it properly go look testing testing testing testing proper mic on and that camera proper camera out and as well with this big camera went like a dog walks over and then someone comes whose dog it is or whatever to look for the dog and there's me fully grown man with a big old camera being like oh look at this who is this guy I want to start doing a few long distance hikes with a hammock that was my that was my plan with it being winter so you can get a fire going get some trees the normal hammocks like my dd which I've had for years it's the only hammock I've had um or used but it's it's for sleeping on your back so you cocooned in there it's comfy but it forces me to sleep on my back and then sometimes I get night terrors when I'm on my back twice I think I've had it when I've been out in woods and just be like thinking that there's things hovering over me let's get it up and have a look at it because it's got some amazing features it looks pretty cool so let's do that hopefully we won't get attacked by any dogs not going to bother with tarp just yet but if it was raining I would whack the tarp up first to get a bit of shelter you even see me oh what yeah like that for a sniper shot someone with sniper good shot energy levels of god aren't there I've been he's got me tell you what started this review full of the joys of autumn proper api nothing's going to get me down i'm going to really go for it and then when we're on take whatever this is 20 because there's a path just over there with dog walkers and then sometimes like dogs always come over and say hello whatever and then owner comes hello what you do what you up to and I've got to be like hey yes I'm just filming a I do it I'm looking at how much a review of how much they're like look at you like this so feel sorry for that so you want to choose some trees which are like between three and six meters apart I don't know if you can hear that but there's someone just chatting and coughing and spluttering over there I was all full of optimism and it's just taking just just like a relentless amount of people coming and asking me what I'm doing and dogs coming and just chewing stuff that's just he's killing me off mate so many times I've come out to film a video like try and do a wild camp even or just to review whatever and I've just been like uh sack it off I want that feeling of escapism where I'm not around people and I know people who watch my videos want that as well they don't want me to like like this look just leaning up against a tree defeated and I swear all right I'll keep this on and in no time look you can see a load of jackets through there walking and in no time there'll be just some dog will bound up to me and go and I love dogs I'm a dog owner don't get me wrong but when you're trying to showcase oh I'm not even trying to showcase it you just want to see it man as well you're trying to set your amock hammock up and there's a dog chew in it it's not the one and now look what I've done is that this title this title is going to be whatever check out this mint hammock and people are going to go oh nice want a hammock and like that looks really interesting because it's a cool different style of hammock and then there's me leaning up against the tree grumbling they're like oh that cool hammock oh he's got he's got a tick as well next to his name 100 000 subs oh that's good filmmaker at year what's he doing I want he must be up to some real good stuff no mate I'm leaning against a tree contemplating not even doing a video grumbling these are good come on this will hopefully getting sat in this thing will cheer me up oh the bag stays attached to it I like that you just thought I would have watched a few more videos on that's a good feature so you roll up this stuff it's got like a has a little bit of velcro that keeps all your webbing tidy that's nice no no that is nice that's nice everything kept together can you hear that kids shouting at it you know there's a big bunch of kids having a good time but not on my watch and it's only day that's been sunny you see it's a sat day so I can't grumble because everyone needs to be out in woods on a sat day it's been pissing it down for the last few days wow anyway I should have just made a video of me just grumbling called it that I don't even know how to set it up mate I've not even looked out how to set it up oh but it's got the instructions on the actual thing look all the info you need pull buckle through loop it is looking buckle pulled through loop don't break my heart my achy breaky heart I'm so impressed with this already can you see that little there's a little picture of a tree on there which means that that has to face the tree when putting it through here so you go that way that way through simple as that that faces the tree pulls it tight so you can tension it loosen it but when it's against a tree and you pull it's tight that's wonderful that's wonderful I'm feeling that right let's go to the other side and see what go on take you over shall we even though like it's maybe not too clever it doesn't matter does it it doesn't matter we're getting it done where you best suited you're not anywhere are you you're not turd you don't want it too high off the floor if you fall out of it you don't want to be snapping anything do you and also you want to be able to get the idea is to get your tarp above your hammock look here's a dog look watch watch this dog and person no then right so this side the red side I can't do it mate can you hear all noise it's like it it's like I'm on a busy high street putting the little trees on them on the side bits they're like someone's got to appreciate this I appreciate it I love it this is your ridgline your built-in ridgline and we can just tension it really easy by pulling these side bits look at that so this rubberised bit at the sides here is to stop the rainwater if you've got any runoff coming down your trees hitting you your line and going in you don't want it coming in your hammock so it's hitting these rubber bits and then it's just down there and off the next step is to give it some structure so we put our pad in which comes with a repair kit in its own little again attention to detail is brilliant it's got its own little pouch there so that's not going to get lost because oftentimes I just chuck it in and it's gone that's just going to be in there all the time so hopefully won't need it but if you do it's there for you but this is the winter one because I'm planning to do a multi-day hike with this setup and I needed a decent r-value which this gives me so in here you've got your your ultralight pump bag I wonder if Fern wants to come and see see thing I'd like her to come and have a look at it when it's done up just words of encouragement to myself that's all you've got this you demand big old bed like as I say you couldn't well I don't know if I have said actually but as I think I've said is um if you want to keep the cost down because it's quite a pricey little number this with once you get into all the extras and for the record I've bought this myself not paid to say anything good I've had it on me uh my wish list for quite some time and with me living where I live and some of the things that I want to do this is the perfect hammock I was going to take me dd but then I thought let's look for something where I can have a bit of a side sleep and there's a bit more comfortable for spending a long time in it and I was like oh yeah the amok so here we are when you're blowing these air beds up if you just blow from a distance like that it's a little shot of air that's the best thing you can do if you put your head too close and give it that it's not going to work if you have seen some people do this just try and get air in that's like look if you blow from about here the breath your air breath brings in the surrounding air as well so one little and that's all you need it's how you've been you've been all right have you house misses house kids it misses you're going anywhere nice on holiday here look as you can open it up once it once it's finished it traps the air in there this is where it gets exciting for people who give her here because we're going to get some sort of regifer free and structure and what is life without structure guys as he yanks the cord out of his microphone and polnges himself into silence he's probably for the best because nobody wants to listen to me a fully grown man having a mental breakdown while trying to set up a hammock oh some kids mate i'm not i'm not camping i'm not camping i'm just filming a hammock which is a weird thing to say but it's true i'm just filming a new hammock for a it's a long story but um it's true how did we get here guys i'm just filming a hammock i said it out loud to a little kid little 10 year old lad i'm just filming a hammock e look at this right sir look this is the foot end are you having that yeah you are and so this is what i would have normally in my hammock set ups is i would always put like a somewhere or other underneath it so you can get straight out of it stand onto your socks am i just going to get in there like a loon oh we do have a tap i'm not going to put the tap on yet because i want you to see see it in all its glory all right you can use a stick for these but these are just custom built for the job in there and in there and this enables the bug net to stay off here when you fasten it up that's your zipper on there y kk zips by the way so all amazing quality and that's and there's one at the other end come with me hi there i keep having to explain to people that i'm just setting up a hammock don't worry about it i think it's obscure but it's 2023 mate it's the world we're living and in there shedding i've given fern my co-ordered so i might have nimbus coming flying through woods at me anytime soon right let's get so he let's get shoes off because shouldn't really be getting it dangling shoes really this is why i go out of a tit this is what you've tuned in for this will be you ready this is thumbnail this is viral sensation this is everything when i fall out of him break me neck on to the middle of your ridgeline hold on to this strap at the side and you're in that's it that's better oh my god it's so comfy that's nice mate gently swinging the canopy so we've got a storage compartment here we've got a little thing for your water bottle there your phone another little storage compartment here on the other side the bag that it comes in becomes a storage bag again mirrored on this side another little storage pouch there and in this one is your bugnet but when the bugnet's not in there it's a storage net as well so you've got loads of space in here and that is comfort oh that's mega comfort what am i and i'm i'm seven five built like a brick shithouse and i'm still you're good for about seven foot to be honest it's about seven foot longness this is the excel version if you pull on these we can turn this into an armchair look and that is as comfy as i've ever been in the woods i don't care who sees it and who knows it full on armchair amazing amazing right let's get the bugnet on so armchair mode and you can take it back out you want to lie back down flat again you undo these and tighten these like that can you side sleep yes you can side sleep perfectly you can roll around lovely and comfortable you have this little clip unclip that another little clip at the bottom everything is everything is just stored away brilliantly you've got these clips and this brings out your bugnet and let's get that up okay we're away oh really easy you can do that with one hand there you go you are bug free as you can see here bug free plenty of room that's not touching me at all and it's got a little another little pocket on here that's probably to tie it all up when you're not using it when you're using the pockets maybe but it could also be used as a little internal washing line that moves along the ridge line as well put stuff in there again just loads of pocket space it's like nothing i've ever i've ever been in unbelievable jeff and that's the inside so they are bug free completely bug free that all goes quite easily back in there and then that clip up there i love it and there you go Mr Blanc you don't want to be much higher than that really just in case you come a cropper the tarp let's get the tarp up see what that's saying it's nazi i love this as well look again it all feels like great material but inside the bag is a separate pocket which houses your stakes comes with six stakes look at these double stitch reinforced and it's got this thing again this little simple little velcro keeps your guidelines in check i love that carabiner and different coloured cord this one's got brown so you know that's your main ridge line red end and a green end to marry up with the clips that you've got on your hammock and so once you've got your ridge line up these you just pull to tighten couldn't be simpler you'd be a me little dog look that's right in the middle of that here's one of our pegs and then peg it out you having that look look look at her don't you look bonny let's see what the what the camouflage vibes are look if you ignore my cut and you're just behind this tree popping out like that hello that's good camouflage in it excellent plenty of room at either side and at the front so you can put all your stuff underneath your hammock and it'll keep dry all night and it's pretty low profile isn't it nice for stealth camping we'll take this front bit off which is just the three pegs out over the top you can guide the back one out if you want or attach it to the one that you've already got in the ground like that and the same with the side ones they just go perfectly on to the ones that you've already done here's your stargazermode and so that's what I've been inclined to do on a night like that if I knew I was going to get no rain and if it does rain you can get out that just comes over three pegs in and you can scurry back under unbelievable Jeff this is just reignited my love for hammock camping it's so comfy it's very easy to set up everything just feels such high quality now we'll put the weight of everything on screen now and then the overall weight of this kit now there are different options that you can choose I've gone for the winter bed but you can go for a lighter option or if you want to save a bit of money you can use your own bed it's just this one specifically designed for it so that the nozzle the air nozzle comes out of a bit of fabric at the top corner so that when you're in bed you can go and just start putting it down while you're in bed lie on it and let your uh your body weight push the air out tension lines on the top are superb it's be I'm I'm fanboying a little bit because I've just been dealing with same type for so many years and just to have some a little bit different that's made so well I'm very impressed so far very impressed but again if you want to save yourself some money just use your a tap that you've already got or just buy a cheaper tap online and just something that just covers you while you're under it is fine there are different versions there's the drama 5.0 I think it's called I'll put on screen now the difference in weight between that and the ultra light at the reason I chose this setup was because I want to do some long distance hammock camping long distance hiking hammock camping because the armchair I could just sit in the armchair eat me dinner I've got room in there it feels like the inside of a tent almost perfect for side sleeping I've got another one of these exactly the same as my setup unopened brand new if you want to be with a chance of winning that there'll be a raffle
