With a Kammok, you can take your siesta anywhere
What if, when you went camping, you could leave the tent behind, as well as the sleeping bag, sleeping mat and everything else. What if you could instead carry a small package, no bigger than a folded t-shirt and weighing about one pound? With the Kammok, you can.
The Kammock is a camping hammock from Dallas, Texas. Made from a lightweight, breathable ripstop nylon called “LunarWave,” the hammock apparently keeps you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cool. You probably don’t want to sleep rough in a Kammock in the winter, but in warmer climes it makes a great lightweight tent replacement in the summer.
The sling is slung between trees, poles or whatever by a pair of “Python Straps.” These webbing straps have a loop on one end so you can wrap them around a trunk and pass the end through the loop — no knots needed. The other end fixes to the Kammock using a custom carabiner.
You can also adjust the Kammock, and most importantly you can lie flat if you want to. Anyone who has spent a night in a normal hammock, sleeping with an arched back, will know just how essential this is.
The Kammock is a Kickstarter project, and has already been funded. To get one after the pledging stage finishes in September 1st, you’ll need to pay $85. Just add in a rain-fly (and a can of mosquito repellent) and you’re done.
