then pull the buckle through

The hammock has color
coded corners. When lying in
the hammock - green to your
right, red to the left.
Consider the ground conditions and the trees you hang from!
Avoid dead trees and branches, and spots with rocks and
thorny bushes.
The small pointed steel buckle goes through the black square

Recommended height Recommended angles
To tighten: Pull the strap
towards tree
To loosen: Pull the loop
towards hammock.
Inflate your pad. If you have
an Amok pad: use the included
pump bag.
Put the pad inside the pad pocket,
pull the sleeve over the pad, then
close the zipper. N.B. Draumr UL
does not have a zipper.
The hammock must not touch
the ground when you enter
- look out for sharp objects that
can damage the fabric.
You should hang roughly
70-100 cm above the ground.
The hammock will sag a bit
upon entry.
The rope on top of the hammock
(ridgeline) should be level, and
the straps at 20° to 40°.
The straps do not have to be
equal length or symmetrical.
One side can be higher/longer
if needed.

Adjusting the hammock
How to get in - alternative 1
Keeping your feet on the ground,
sit down "halfway" to test the
height and suspension straps.
Safety first!
Adjust the height by lowering
or raising the tree straps,
or adjusting the buckles.
Avoid tightening the straps too
much. Strive to get an angle
between 20° and 40°.
The hammock can be moved
sideways to avoid unwanted
terrain features.
Stand in front of the hammock,
grab hold of the panels on each
side.
Push the hammock down and
under you while you try to sit down
in the middle of the hammock.
Move one hand to the ridgeline
and sit/lean back. Lift your feet
inside.
Find your balance.

How to get in - alternative 2
Finding your balance
Stand in front of the hammock.
Grab the inside panels and pull
the hammock between your
legs.
Push the hammock down
and under you, while you try
to sit down in the middle.
Move one hand to the ridgeline
and sit/lean back. Lift your feet
inside.
Find your balance.
Hold on to the side panels and
ridgeline. Lift your body a little,
and push or pull on the side
panel to adjust your position
Just like riding a bike for
the first time - finding your
balance takes some practice!
Flat is not always level.
You can slide down if you have
not balanced the hammock.
Make sure you are flat AND
level, before falling asleep.
A common mistake is being
too close to the foot end.

Chair mode
Insert Amok’s Pole set or sticks
Move a little bit towards the head
end, raise your legs and pull the
knee straps first - one side at a
time!
Grab the top of the panel and
lift it, while pulling down on
the strap handle at the same
time.
Avoid leaning back and
tightening both of the upper
straps at the same time.
Take your weight off the back
panels by sitting up straight,
then tighten one strap at a time.
The pockets in the head and foot end are for sticks or the Amok pole
set. Using it will lift the bug net.
Insert the pole in the foot end
whilst sitting up in the hammock.
Pull the foot end towards you for
easier access.
If your pole doesn't fit perfectly,
each end can be bent slightly.
Do not bend at the middle joint.

The Bug net
Tips for keeping warm
You can pull the foot end
towards you to make zipping
easier.
Once the bug net is mounted,
you can make openings where
you need them, using the 3
sliders.
The ridgeline has a sliding
pocket for small items. It also
contains an elastic cord and
cordlock.
The hook attaches to a loop in
the head end. Adjust the cord
lock on the ridgeline to lift the
bug net.
A clean and dry wool baselayer
and a bottle with hot water will
help you stay warm.
If you put cold coffee in a
thermos, it will stay cold!
The same goes for you.
Warm up before bed!
Glamper? Bring a reindeer hide
or sheepskin!
Addding a thin foam pad on
top of the inflatable pad inside
the pad pocket will boost the
temperature.

Other great tips
Attach the stuff sack to the
buckle inside the hammock
for extra storage.
Attach a longer cord to the
slider to make it easier to
reach.
Open the zipper of your
sleeping bag and place it in
the hammock before entering.
Place your backpack near the
head end to have it within
reach from inside the
hammock.
It is easier to enter the
hammock if you tighten the
knee straps halfway.
You can use the back and knee
straps to adjust your sleeping
position. It is not only for chair
mode.
On older Draumr models without
drip stoppers - using plastic clips
will prevent water from running
down the suspension straps.
Tarp carabiners - left image is
OK in regular weather. In heavy
weather, wrap the cord around
itself first.

Some common mistakes
Be prepared! Always bring the
included repair kit for the sleeping
pad. Other spare parts might be
useful as well.
Fold your tarp guylines like this
to avoid knots and rat nests.
Then attach using the velcro
strap.
Tearing the fabric or breaking
the pole stick by stepping
into the foot end.
Hanging the hammock too high
can make entering and exiting
difficult, and you might hurt your-
self if you fall out.
