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: kzfaq.info *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.

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.

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!
