In reply to G. Henrickson. Yeah, I hear you. It's a great hammock but it has its quirks. I like your idea of using the Helios straps. They work great!

I own one of the Gamma UL and despite all my attempts to hang in it…my six foot length is just too long. The fabric crowds my feet and head. So every few yearsI once again try with a different pad to hopefully find the winning combo. Sometimes I wish I were a bit shorter. Fantastic hammock and mine is still unused on the trail. BTW..the stock suspension of my Gammam UL is its weak point so I switched to a (set of) Helios suspension system. The whoopies and lightweight tree straps of the Helios are fantastic when paired to this hammock. I do use a pair of really light carabiners to bring it all together.

In reply to Tony. You might be on the edge for your height. Always check the weight rating / capacity of the hammock and make sure you feel confident in your choice.

I’m 6′ 2″, 250lbs of manly awesomeness. Will this hammock comfortably contain my substantial girth?

In reply to Carl. Yes. Only use the ones recommended by Amok.

Does the hammock work better with different styles of pads( horizontal vs vertical tube structure)?

In reply to Rich. No, I haven't tried the tarp but I agree with your assessment. I think it would fit the Draumr.

Did you try out the fly that hammocktent makes? It seems to give better side coverage (and privacy) than the stock Amok fly. Do you think that the hammocktent fly would fit the Amok Draumr?
