Snag Some Gear from Kammok Before You Go Hammock Camping this Spring

By

Spring is the perfect season for hammock camping to enjoy the gradual warming of temperatures and enjoy the vibrant colors of Mother Nature. If you’re looking to up your hammock game this 2021, there’s no better brand to help you do it than Kammok. Here are a few of their best new offerings.

Koala Hammock Underquilt, $229-$329

How to set up your Koala Underquilt

A hammock might seem like just an additional camping amenity for post-hike lounging by the fire. However, with the right accessories (and a working knowledge of how to properly hang one), a hammock can replace your tent and sleeping bag altogether. The Koala underquilt affixes beneath your hammock to create a soft, insulated cocoon. The durable ripstop nylon fabric and water-resistant shell are designed to keep you dry and provide maximum heat retention. The Koala is available in synthetic and down varieties, good to 40 degree-Fahrenheit and 30-degree Fahrenheit weather respectively. Add a traditional sleeping bag to the mix, and you’re ready for the winter.  Both varieties pack down small and weigh around 1.5 pounds.

Firebelly Trail Quilt, $159-239

Where the Koala is designed to keep your hammock’s underside toasty, the Firebelly keeps your top half warm. The purpose-designed trail quilt can be used like a traditional blanket, draped over you at night. On especially cold nights, however, a series of snaps and elastic bands provide a more secure fit, enveloping your body like a “burrito-style” sleeping bag. Firebelly uses many of the same construction materials as the Koala, including Atmos fabric and a ripstop nylon shell. Synthetic and down varieties are available with temperature ratings of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. The quilt spans 75 inches by 52 inches —roughly the dimensions of a full size mattress and large enough to sleep two comfortably (assuming you like each other). Firebelly packs down small, and both varieties weigh in around 1.5 pounds.

Now is arguably the best time to buy from Kammok. As part of a do-good initiative to help victims of the many recent disasters that rocked the U.S., the brand debuted three new state flag-print hammocks. Proceeds from the sale of these Colorado-, Texas-, and California-themed hammocks will go to support the victims of each of those state’s recent natural disasters. These limited edition hammocks are ultra-soft, featherweight (just 10 ounces), and sturdy (capable of supporting up to 400 pounds), and pack down to about the size of a softball.

Lab Putter

Golf is so much more than a mental and physical sport. There's nothing like standing on the green, the pin just far enough to make you squint, with the ball sitting there waiting for the winning swing that ends with a rattle in the cup. Everyone loves winning, which is why the Mezz.1 Max from L.A.B. Golf is creating a buzz. Some 19 PGA golfers currently use one of L.A.B.  Golf's putters. Dan Gaul, co-founder of The Manual, got his hands on L.A.B. Golf's Mezz.1 Max and says that it's the real deal. Here's why the L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max should be your new green-side obsession and a go-to for your next golf trip.
What you need to know about putters

According to L.A.B. Golf, most putters out there are working against you. This is because of torque, the twisting force that creeps into your putting stroke. Sometimes, this happens when the putter head wiggles or pulls off-line, and some have weight and balance issues that fight your natural motion. When you tense up or your tempo's off, this can cause your golf ball to veer left when you really aimed right. For a golfer, pretty much nothing else is more frustrating.

The Roof Space 4 rooftop tent sets up in just 60 seconds with room for six
With more headroom and a lightning-fast setup, this might be the world's most family-friendly rooftop tent
roof space 4 rooftop tent

Four-person tents are the pinnacle of design for many of the best rooftop tent makers. As further proof that the RTT market is heating up yet again, Germany's Roof Space just unveiled its flagship Roof Space 4 — a family-friendly shelter with a surprising trick up its sleeve.

The Roof Space 4 builds on the company's entry-level Roof Space 2 by offering much more room. The company claims the most floor space of any such tent on the market, including a very generous 44.1 square feet of sleep space. That's larger than a California King mattress. While it claims to sleep up to six, that's probably overly optimistic (as is typical for most tent manufacturers), but it's more than enough space for a family of four and even a dog or two. Like its predecessor, it also boasts a panoramic terrace — two in fact! — for enjoying the views from whatever epic campsite you happen to be at.

Skye campervan inherits the rugged DNA of Rossmonster’s famed go-anywhere rigs
With more creature comforts than your studio apartment, and the off-road chops to get you almost anywhere
Rossmonster Skye campervan driving through the desert.

Rossmonster made a name for itself building some of the most off-road capable truck campers on the planet. But it also spent a decade quietly building custom campervans for discerning customers looking for something bigger, bolder, and brawnier than most typical, Instagram-worthy vanlife rigs. The company's all-new Skye series is the culmination of ten years of "best of" customer requests, and now you can own one.

For this latest series, the famed Colorado RV builder tapped the very capable 170" Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van chassis. It's a tech-forward starting point that's designed to provide extreme comfort in extreme conditions. The versatile interior offers room for a work-from-anywhere desk, a food prep space, and rear sleeping quarters that fold up against the driver's side wall, allowing more room for outdoor gear storage. While it sleeps two comfortably, the optional pop-top tent adds room for two more, so a decked-out Skye will transport and sleep up to four adults.
