Got the new AMOK Draumr today and am wondering if anyone came up with something to use in the foot and head ends besides sticks? I am thinking of using 1/2" Plex water line, it seems to be flexible and light weight. Thanks

I use a 3/8" plex pipe cut to size on my Amok XL. The 1/2" will probably work but it may be a little tight.
I only use it on the head end. I find the foot end is not needed and keeps falling out.
Another vote for 3/8" PEX. I credit AZsteelman with matching the material to the application. You can get a 5' piece from the hardware store for a couple two three bucks and it will be more than enough, even if you screw up and cut too short a time or two.

I have yet to try the PEX route (it's in the garage but hasn't bothered me enough to cut yet). I figure: if a green switch was good enough to tan my hide with as a kid, it's good enough to keep the bug net off my face.
Oooh, shiney! What does THIS button do?
I use a pair of thin carbon fiber rods I had laying around from one of my rc planes. It's light and has the perfect flex.

I set it up and tried the 1/2" pex water line, it seems to work but just to be on the safe side I think I will get the 3/8 and go with that. Also is the ridge line suppose to be super tight? I know on my chameleon I should be able to bend it a little bit when I'm laying in it. This one seems to be fiddle string tight. Thanks.

I played around with it today and even with a 30 degree angle it still seems tight but the distance between the trees is 17'. I moved it two trees around 11' and the ridge line did slack off some with a 30 degree angle. Maybe need to get the straps higher when it gets over 15 feet between trees.
