I received mine while I was away. Had a chance to set everything up and lay in it for a while today. First thing is with the Amok it self, the Tarp and a pad it is heavier than I thought but it wont deter me from bring it on a short trip, car camping trip or just to hang out in a park for a day. Everything is included if you pick up the Amok 3.0 and the Tarp. All you have to do is pick up a pad that is like the recommended pads listed on the website or in Sug's Vid. I picked up the REI pad and it is pretty nice, fits in the Amok 3.0 perfectly and I see it working in the cot I use for tent camping with my kids so win win for me. I viewed the video from manufactures web site and set up was so easy I thought I did something wrong. I was laying in the Amok 3.0 in about three minutes. The Tarp set up is just as easy but needs to have color coded mini carbiners just like the Amok 3.0 does. The quality of workmanship and the attention to detail on the whole set up is awesome. The team of designers knew what to build into this and how to make it simple with out putting so many features on it to make it ridicules. Very comfortable and relaxing. I was very warm laying it it as there isnt the convection you get from a conventional hammock from the breeze. I played with the leg and shoulder adjustments and enjoyed sitting up watching some birds in the yard. Sitting back I was very comfortable swinging from and back in the breeze. I am 6ft tall and am about at the size limit as far as height goes. Im not even close to the weight limit so no problems there. A bigger Hammocker would have comfort issues I think as far as length goes. Tearing down went quickly and everything but the tarp was easy to get back into the bags included. The Tarp was tight but fit. I imagine that when it is wet it will be tough to get into the bag. Even though it is a 3.0 version, I see this evolving into a even lighter, more affordable product as people talk more about it, try it and give suggestions. Im happy with my purchase and cant wait to spend more time in it before the summer ends. Heck, I can see hanging in this this fall too.
