I appreciate all of your interest, however, we have decided that we will not be doing any additional discounts after Kickstarter. We desire to have the most innovative products in the hammock...
People tend to want more room... I've heard, "This hammock is too small", but never, "I wish I didn't have so much room". When in the kammok, the stuff sack is in the middle. You can actually flap...
Components and materials for our products come from many places, however, they are all assembled in China. There is an entity that goes through facilities in China and rates them on quality and we...
We can't go into the specifics of what it is made of exactly - those are trade secrets. However, here is a link to see more photos of the fabric. Click the pictures to enlarge them.
Do you want the fabric or what specifically?
Your prices were accurate. We are considering doing a promotion for HF members. We have vowed to keep our prices stiff at our MSRPs after Kickstarter, however, maybe we could do a quick promotion...
Not yet. We will discuss it at our next meeting and I'll let you know.
I'm amazed by the responses in this thread. Thank you all for your questions and comments.I specifically decided to join HF because of the criticism. I knew people would be blatantly honest on here...
Sounds good! Let me know if you have any other questions. I can't ever seem to get enough hammocks...
You beat me to it. :D
We included the water bottle because we are all about products with purpose and each water bottle provides clean water to someone for an entire year. 20% of our profits are also donated to...
We included it in our Kickstarter, because most people would have no idea how to hang it without them. HF members are the exception.
That's a good point. The people on HF are unlike the rest of the world though. We knew that the people new to hammock camping would have no idea how to hang it, so we knew that we needed to include...
It's simply a matter of quality. Different people want different levels. I assure you that any straps you buy from someone for $10 were no manufactured by the leading rock climbing harness...
Peter,
I just wanted to drop in and say that your company philosophy is very inspiring. It's nice to see people doing business in a caring and responsible way. Being in Dallas, I have heard the...
Also, at retail:
Kammok Roo (one person kammok)
Water resistant compression sack
2 Wiregate Carabiners
Total: $79.95
Python Straps
Total: $29.95
I have to say that I am honestly surprised by responses about the price.
Let me clarify the $85 package. It includes:
Kammok Roo (hammock)
Python Straps (suspension straps with 18 connecting...
They will be available separately as of September 1st. (After our Kickstart campaign ends) I can't remember the weight off the top of my head, so I will double check that and get back to you.
...
Understandably so. We realize that people will not realize the difference in quality and materials until they are able to see it in person or hear from a trusted source. We took our competitors'...
We have the kangaroo logo because all of our products will have a pouch. The Kammok Roo (one-person hammock) has an attached water resistant stuff sack. Our suspension straps (Python Straps) come...
Kickstarter is technically a funding platform. However, we provide product in exchange for pledges. If you look at the $85 pledge on the right hand side you will see that you are getting a Kammok...
I'm hoping to have a group with me. I won't know for sure until we get a little closer to the date. I hope they don't sell out...
The backpack is a prototype. We may go there in the future....
Thanks for compliments. We are very proud of the Roo. Our website will launch on September 1st with prices at MSRP. Before then,...
Kammok, a new brand of camping hammocks, began a preorder campaign on Kickstarter.com last week. I'm convinced that the most experienced hammock campers can be found on HF and we would love for some...
Awesome place. Just beautiful. It makes me realize how much I dislike Texas...
Great thread. It amazes me how light many of you are able to get everything.
Greetings from Texas. Hammock camping seems to really have taken off in the UK. You will be completely overwhelmed by the vast amount of info on HF, if you are anything like I was when I started...
I'm impressed by anyone that can sleep in this heat... We have 10-12 degrees on you here in Texas, but camping in 90+ degrees is always tough.
Welcome.
Simply laying on the diagonal worked wonders for me. I applaud you for not giving up. You will always find words of encouragement on HF.
Greetings from Dallas.
Welcome! I am in Dallas and always looking for good places myself. DFW is tough... I tend to head to the major lakes if I want to stay relatively close. I love Possum Kingdom.
I hate that my wife doesn't believe my lie, "I don't enjoy going every weekend. I have to. I can't do product development for Kammok without sufficient product testing. I would rather stay home, but...
Welcome!
Are hammock campers pretty prominent on at AT? I haven't had the chance to go myself yet, but hope to soon.
If he's up for it, I'll make it happen.
It definitely is consuming right now, but we are focused on having a great relationship with customers and friends of Kammok. HF are just a great resource. If it has been done with a hammock, it's...
Thanks for the compliments Shug. Your videos have been very entertaining. We talk about you often.
Would you be interested in doing a product review video for us if I sent you one? You would...
We went with the interlocking triple stitch, because it was the most effective at accomplishing the strength that was desired. You were right on, we chose it because of its strength advantages. The...
The bug netting is not included in the $85, but we will be releasing our line of accessories, which includes netting, in the next couple of months.
Our Kammoks are made with rip stop nylon, but we used a different type of nylon thread than what you would typically see. This specific thread is less stretchy than typical nylon. The thread is...
We are in Texas. You were right about the Kangaroos. We want to utilize pouches and stuff sacks as much as possible.
I would love to see a good comparison... maybe I should send a pair to Shug...
Fortunately the python straps are constructed in a way that EVERY stitch has to break for you to fall. It's kind of...
The Kammok Roo looks very similar to the ENO, but it is different in the following ways:
The material is 5'7" x 10'. We have measured many ENO hammocks and they never seem to be the advertised...
This is true. Whoopies provide unlimited adjustability and they are lighter than our straps. However, our straps are much more secure, because if a loop breaks, you don't fall. They all have to...
True true. I heard someone in this forum say, "If this hammock's a rockin, don't come a knockin." Someone should make this.
Good eye. I lived there for a year myself. Urban kammoking is the next planking.
As of now, we are not producing backpacks. We are focused on hammock camping, or as we call it, kammoking.
Howdy to you too! Texas is such a great place to hammock camp.
Thanks Grizzly. Kammok is built of hardcore outdoorsman. Don't let our bright colors fool you, we want to focus on hardcore hammock camping. Our first product is more of a mainstream product to...
Welcome from Dallas, HotTexas! I joined today as well.
I gotcha. Going as light-weight as possible creates a need to sacrifice on something. We could design a minimalist version with less material. We would just need to test how little material is...
Absolutely. Our tarp is probably our most innovative product thus far. We are super excited to unveil it, but it will probably be unveiled around September 1.
