Mind completely blown by the Norwegians. Staring at the screen with jaw on the floor. You bloody geniuses!!! ❤️

That number of hammocks looks like a ‘swingers’ party 😂

I am still in love with my 15-16 year old Hennessy Hammock. I bought the same model with the velcro entrance at the bottom.. I then sent it from Denmark over to the US to a nice & sweet lady Grandma, who made Hammock UPGRADES, like zippers, pockets/bags, repairs, etc. I got two "triple" zippers sewn in. So I can open it on both sides, and/or zip the "whole mosquito net" off and down in a pocket at the foot end.💪🏼✅Love my Henness❣

7 hammocks… this is going to be a good one! Thanks for making Wednesdays great Simon!

I invested in a DD superlight jungle hammock and superlight tarp, a while back. I had to save up, because they were not cheap, for me. It's a tent, it's a hammock and it's a bloody marvellous set-up! Light enough to carry; set up in no time and you sleep like the innocent. For many years I slept in second hand tents, bivi bags and anything I could cobble together, beg or borrow (I baulked at stealing). There was a time, in my youth, when I could carry the kitchen sink and sleep on a bit of foam - happy days! If I had waited until I could have afforded the 'Gucci' kit, I'd have wasted 30 years of my life. I'm a 'mature' adult, now and the years catch up, so sadly, I need a bit comfort. Youth is priceless!

Best outdoor UKposts channel going, and I watch alot of them. 😁

What a collection, that last one the Amok was unreal especially the fact you could turn it into a chair 👍🤣 very interesting fella loved it 😁

Amok have completely changed the game with there design! I can't wait to purchase my own and get outside this summer

Simon, I found your channel when researching the Amok Draumr. I find your channel refreshingly concise and informative. Having begun watching many outdoor gear videos and quickly quitting because the person took too long getting to any point whatsoever. In just under 20 minutes, you covered the key benefits as well as disadvantages of 7 models, where other channels can take that long for just one. Thank you!

"Simon, A Bloke in a hammock" - I appreciate your demonstration of all of your hammocks. I've gotta check out the "AMOK"... beats anything else I've come across!! As always, you provide genius knowledge. Sincere Regards!

A hammock May Pole. Jon over at 'Lost Lakes' uses his Amok in some crazy low temperatures and swears by it, have to admit I'd be tempted possibly by that, but I'd need a long line on Dartmoor between trees 🤣

Thanks, Simon. I'm now suffering from hammock envy. The Amok is a monster. All the best.

Hammock PARTY with Simon in the woods!!!!! Nice video on hammocks - you always do good mate on explaining things.👍 Everyone has their favorite hammock like you said. I am a side sleeper. Since I watched your first hammock video post a couple years back - I have tried many hammocks from the cheapest to some of the most well known top cottage industry makers and slept fairly well in the more specialized longer ones diagonally. But when I bit the bullet last year and got a AMOK, well game changer for me - I now can sleep on my side and back and with a great very flat lay for me. And now only LOUD noises and the occasionally 'old man pee needed' get me up, not cramps and aches. I love my Dutchware, I love my GO2 and as I said I slept fairly well in them - key word slept - I now pretty much do the AMOK whenever I can do hammocking. Once you got the setup down, not really hard, I can get it up and ready in less than 10 minutes when I use my air pump (I know cheating - but I use my age as an excuse) - I did four or five nights a year on average in my gathered end hammocks 3 years ago, I did 10 or 12 this last 8 months even in some of our bitter cold spells and the reason it wasn't more than that was because of my herniated disk at this time not allowing me to walk much - but the AMOK design configuration allowed me to 'hang' on my side with no pressure on my lower spine, which even the 12 foot special ordered gathered end hammock I used mostly before, would not take off all the pressure - so thus way more comfortable using the AMOK and could do that in my backyard which I am doing a lot. I am not abandoning my older hammocks for occasional use IF lightweight is really needed - but as you can tell I am a believer in AMOK for me to get a great night sleep and keep the pain at bay. PROS = just about everything CONS = it is a BIG investment for those whose budget is like mine, but I know now it was definitely worth it big time for me. AND their support people are absolutely some of the best in the world. Thanks for taking the time to take us along with you and explaining things. ATB

Interesting look at those hammocks . That last one looked cool . I haven't done an overnighter in a hammock yet . Bit dubious as I fidget a lot 😂. Thanks Simon 👍. Take care.

Thank you , Simon . 🐺Loupis Canis .

One of the best videos I’ve seen on the topic of Hammocks. 👍🏻 Thank you for taking the time for setting up all these hammocks. I learned a lot.

A few years ago I bought a supercheap hammock from AliExpress because I was curious. Every Summer, without fail it goes up at the end of the garden and I look forward to lazy days spent in it with the radio on and a beer to hand. I have never hammock camped but I would do so in a heartbeat. I knew DD and Hennessey were supposed to be good, but that Amok has given me a very nervous wallet.... :D

Looking forward to this as I really want to get into hammock camping

Thanks for the tours Simon. Lots of information there and lots of choices.

Thank you, Simon. Another great video.

loving that last 1, I think that might be my next investment, thanks for the video.

Always something interesting to watch.. keep them coming Simon.. 😬

That was very interesting Simon, thanks for showing us your favourite hammocks x

Thank you for such interesting review and commentary on hammocks.

Great overview Simon. I’m looking for a hammock for canoe camping and this has been really helpful 👍

Thank you Simon for another great video and for all the effort you put into the presentation of the hammocks. Super effort. ATB

Thanks Simon. It has been very useful.

Brilliant series of videos, lights , stoves and hammocks. 👌

I bought a DD Frontline Hammock after an earlier video of yours and only use a tent under sufferance. Hammocks seem to be much better for my back (kayak camping). Thanks for your videos 😀

Well done sir. A great overview of equipment.

Thank you Simon for saving us time

Thanks Simon. That was a lot of effort to setup that video. Loving the Amok. Andy J

Love that Amok! Great to see so many comparisons.

Once again another useful video. Thanks simon👍

Very informative as always. Good job!

I just love that you took the time to put all those up and share your knowledge and experience. Thank you

Always love your video both you and Ken simple and well presented and always Fresh giving viewer like me what we want and your casual conversation and in depth presentation.

Very interesting video Simon. Thank you for sharing

Thanks Simon this is awesome...great review and thanks for sharing your outdoor fieldcraft knowledge and experience..stay blessed from the uk

Amok’s are for perfect for the backyard or perfect weather & very cozy but terrible for actual backpacking. Same with the DD I’ve had, more of a 2-3 season camp hammock. When backpacking you need to have confidence in your gear when the weather changes quickly . Great review video!!

Thanks for sharing. What a good resource.

interesting video well done Simon , thank you .

Great job Simon. Very informative. Cheers from Canada

🔥 Thank you so much. These videos are very informative. God bless all you guys.🔥

Fantastic review Simon. Love the hammock in the landy too.

great video, being a proud owner of a Warbonnet hammock which I like a lot, I mean a lot, I can not wait to get an Amok Draumr. I just want to make sure it works on hot tropical weather. Keep your hammock vids coming.

Really great informative video Simon. Always a pleasure. 👌🤙 Br, Gaz.

I am an Amok fan since I move around from side to side at night. The tarp provided fine coverage during a decent rain. However, the water was not wind-driven. I like the sit-up feature for daytime comfort in camp.

Your energy is so sweet. You make me smile no matter Iwhat you’re doing on your channel. Thank you

Haha born again every morning haha love it! What a collection pal. Charlie is now wanting the Amok Draumr UL for the charity trio this year and I don't blame him. A great break down of each system. I love Ginger's hammocks too, a great system. Thanks man 👍

What a great video spot on. I enjoy my hammocks and the underquilts in cold weather are a godsend. Cheers and thanks for another great video.

Great stuff as usual Simon - I'd seen you use the Amok before so it was good to get a closer look.

Thanks Simon, great video

I bought a basic hammock and tarp set a while ago and have not used it or got it out of the bag! Thank you for showing us all the differences in them 😀 I must get mine out the bag and have a go 😀

Great video Simon, that Amuk looks fascinating. I originally got a simple Ozark hammock off of Amazon - it’s single layer, but has a bug net and an internal elastic line which keeps the net suspended and enables one of Ginge’s hammock storage pockets to be suspended from. I have a DD under blanket too. I may upgrade at some point, but at the moment don’t get to use it enough to warrant it.

that's a great collection. i like how you've tried innovative hammocks too. i thought i was more of a traditional set up kinda guy but then i also bought the draumr, haven and opeongo ariel a1 and i'm convinced the future of innovative hammocking is bright. but they all provide such unique outdoor experience. thanks for uploading =)

Nice kit. I own the original DD Camping Hammock, DD 3x3 tarp and DD Travel Hammock. All brand new and unused. I still like the Travel Hammock best. Im an old guy and im from the school of 2 is 1 and 1is none. So i like the notion of it being both a hammock and a tent, of which i cannot recall many hammock manufacturers employing. Nice to see the amok people pushing the envelope though, even if it does look a bit drafty in gale force. Love the chair aspect of it and the bug net fixture. Seemed to 'sway' a helluva lot i must say, and that tarp pattern...oooh!! Glad that video popped up. Enjoyed it sir, thank you

Thank you for posting sir

Nice one Simon, the last one gets my vote, it looks exceptional.😃 Be well.😊

You are an amazing person that brightens up my day every time!

That Amok is crazy. Looks awesome. Really like the Warbonnet Blackbird for thru hiking. Great video.

I got my first hammock last month for my birthday. Can’t wait to try it out! That Amok looks awesome though too!

Really enjoyed that, especially the last one, thank you. Hope all’s well pal.

Always a nice watch ! Getting tips for our own family camping trips here in Manila 👍😊

I feel better about the amount of camping gear I have, thanks Simon👍👍

Love the look of the Amuk

The pouch on the eno works well to hold a little weight in my double nest when I fold the fabric over myself for a little extra shelter. I only use it during the day but its nice for shade or to hold in a bit of warmth.

brilliant video thanks for sharing!!!!! was really stuck on which hammock to get, but no more!!!

Excellent video Simon I do like the Swedish one that you sat down in Excellent ☺👍👍👍👊

Excellent review....the AMOK is peaking my interesting...thanks!

❣️ Love this one ❣️ Thanks for showing us ❣️

Thanks, Simon. 👍🙂

Hello Simon, a bloke in the woods! Thank you for showing me a nice video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!

Excellent presentation !

They definitely look very comfortable especially the last one.

Nicely done. I'd throw Dutchware hammocks in the mix!

I still use my Exped Ergo Combi...very comfortable as well as my ENO Doublenest....nice hammocks Simon!!!! Cheers

having some getting in and out problems I love the bottom entry idea

great review! really helpful, cheers!

King of the Swingers 😀 Nice collection there. I have a cheap as chips hammock. But had my eye on a DD one for a while.

💕 your videos and the content, as always, continue to entertain and to be helpful and instructive. I was thinking it must be about time you featured a Father/Son adventure video once again.

Great review, thanks for sharing

The Best! Bravo!

great vid Simon

Simon. You really are one of our favorites. You should go full speed ahead and make lots of videos. Thank for the good work mate.

Really good informative video Simon, cheers Pal !😃

Just love your choice of music

Very helpful. Good video thanks for the upload.

Nice to see a bunch of gear in the side by side nonjudgmental comparison. Have fun stay safe.

Wow Simon. I don't even own a hammock...........yet. Thanks for the info and giving me a better understanding of different hammock models out there. Keep following your nose.

I literally just watched your ground dwelling vs hammock camping video haha, can't wait to watch this one! :)

Love a hammock and this is a great overview nice one chap 🤟

YES! I like Amok! Thanks Simon for you do when you do videos , YOUR THE BEST!. Can you do a video on building chair furniture are just any furniture? THANKS FOR SHARING.

Loving the socks.

Great presentation. I’ve got an Amok and really like it. It’s not my lightest hammock but it’s my deluxe sleeper. After spending a few nights in it I decided it was worth the weight especially when going out to island camp with my canoe. The only drawback was the first time trying to get a rain fly over it but I made one that does the job. At this point I’m thinking of modifying that rain fly to allow a tent stove for hot tenting so I can use it in added comfort during the winter.

A lot of good choices on this video.

Currently I'm watching you while in a pine forest in my DD xl hammock, bliss 😄🌲🌲

Good video presentation 👍. I specifically liked the end because 2 days ago I received my Amok UL green with camo tarp and I can't wait to use it end of the month. Bought it after much consideration between comfort & value. As you mention the price tag isn't for everyone but after hearing what you said I can forgive the price and look forward to some amazing night sleep in the woods 😃

A few? That's also what I tell the Mrs😁 I've been inside the Amok and should I ever go hammock, that one would be my first choice. Excellent comparison!

Cannot thank you enuff fer dis video. 🤠 I was badly hurt when the hammock suspension failed. a home made gathered magic carpet. I will never use a toggle with a hammock again.
