The Mantis All-In-One Hammock Tent epitomizes sleep versatility. Resort-level comfort and four-season adaptability combine for the most epic hang between two trees. Mantis is adventure ready for basecamp and backcountry, and easily sets up for a backyard nap. This thing can do it all—seriously.
“I have taken the mantis out half a dozen times now. It’s become my go to hammock. It’s very well thought out and having a single pack for everything makes it light and small.”- Chuck H., Happy Camper
Go-Anywhere Packability
It’s time to lighten your load, camper. We know you’re always ready for the next big adventure, and with the Mantis All-In-One Hammock Tent, your kit will be too. The Mantis packs down smaller than your sleeping bag and is lighter than a one-person tent. Don’t need the rainfly or mesh canopy for this trip? Leave one or both at home for an even more compact carry. And when we say the Mantis will go anywhere, we mean it. It’s light enough for overnights in the backcountry, yet comfy enough for daily backyard hangs.
Quick, Elevated Setup
If you’re tired of trying to find the perfect spot for your tent, level and free of roots and rocks, then the Mantis is your solution. Elevate your campsite and sleep on cloud nine every night. The structural ridgeline takes the guesswork out of setup, providing the ideal hang every time. The knotless design means Mantis goes up in 60 seconds, allowing for more time on the trail and less time fidgeting with cumbersome tent poles.
All-Weather Versatility
You know what you need better than anyone, so we’re putting you in the driver seat with the Mantis’ versatile design. Take what you need, and leave the rest at home. The detachable Dragonet mesh canopy is essential in mosquito season, and the included rainfly makes for four-season adaptability. Pitch the fly close to the hammock body to stay dry through rain and snow, or use trekking poles for front-porch mode to wake up with a view. No rain in the forecast? Ditch the fly altogether and examine the night sky through the Stargazer panel. Whatever the outdoors throw your way, Mantis has you covered.
Designed With the Camper in Mind
After a long day on the trail, we know all you want is a comfortable bed to crawl into. The hammock body is made with our signature Gravitas™ fabric—silky soft and luxurious beyond comparison. Storage is a cinch with built-in pockets, and during our Father’s Day Sale, all Mantis purchases come with a free Ridgeline Organizer, giving you even more space for essentials like a water bottle and headlamp. Add one of our trail quilts and our Insulated Pongo Pad for an outdoor oasis like no other—resort level comfort between two trees.
Austin, TX. (March 7, 2023) — Kammok, designer of high-performance outdoor gear, announced the launch of its latest product, the Ursa Sleep System, on Kickstarter. The Ursa is the ultimate camping bed, offering maximum comfort for more restorative outdoor sleep. The Ursa Sleep System is a comprehensive sleeping solution that promises unapologetic comfort and spaciousness, packed with all the bells and whistles necessary to make camping a memorable and peaceful experience. The sleep system includes a 4" self-inflating base pad, 2" ultra-soft memory foam topper, Primaloft synthetic camp comforter with a 30F degree temperature rating, and a travel case, as well as an upgrade option for a deluxe foam pillow with an adjustable air core. Each component fully integrates to create a single sleep system with unrivaled comfort. The Ursa™ Sleep System is designed to work for any style of sleep, utilizing soft-touch fabrics and superior foam that mimic your bedding at home. The Base Pad features four inches of self-inflating foam, generously sized at L 80 in x W 30 in, providing a spacious surface that allows for full-body movement and comfort. The Ursa’s asymmetrical zippers allow you to link multiple sleep systems together to create a queen-size bed for two or larger, providing more room and comfort for you and your camping companions. The Memory Foam Topper provides a two-inch foam layer that conforms to your body shape, providing support and relief of pressure points. Attached to the topper is Ursa’s insulated hood, made for maximum warmth on colder nights at camp. The Camp Comforter is rated for temperatures as low as 30 degrees and includes a cinchable footbox and top seam when the temperatures drop. Lastly, the oversized pillow features premium memory foam and an adjustable air core to match any sleep position. The Ursa Sleep System is a game-changer for camping enthusiasts, offering the perfect balance of comfort, support, and convenience. "We believe that uncomfortable sleep at camp is a huge barrier for a lot of people wishing to experience the restoration of time outside. The Ursa Sleep System completely changes that, inviting people that wouldn’t traditionally like camping to get joy out and enjoy a night under the stars." said Greg McEvilly, founder, and CEO of Kammok. "The Ursa Sleep System was designed to eliminate any worries about uncomfortable sleeping. Our goal was to create a camp bed that maximized comfort and allowed individuals to fully immerse themselves in nature and make the most of their time outside."

Kammok is on a mission to make 2022 the year of restoration. We feel most rejuvenated when we seek time outside on a daily basis, even if only that only means stepping outside for fifteen minutes. Here are seven super achievable ways that you can find the outside rest you're looking for. 1. Go camping once a month. This might sound like an ambitious goal, but that’s what goal setting is all about! Car camping with a few friends or your family is always a great way to get outside and decompress. Plus, between national, state, and county parks, plus the addition of sites like Hipcamp, finding a last-minute campsite is usually possible. When adventure calls, book a campsite! 2. Take some work calls outside. The nice thing about work calls is that you can take them almost anywhere. Bring the office outside, stretch your legs, and enjoy the fresh, open air. A small step like this can really refresh your day. Who says getting outside always has to be an adventure? 3. Cook outside more. This is a team favorite for the Kammok crew. On the one hand, cooking outside is a bit of a production compared to quick pre-made meals, but we’d argue the finished product is always better with open-fire cooking. Bonus: It’s simply good for the soul. Recent favorites: grilled broccoli, sweet potatoes, and flash-grilled romaine heads. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and throw them directly on the grill. Top with lime juice or balsamic and some grated parmesan before serving to really kick up the flavor. Looking for dessert? Check out our favorite s’mores recipes here. 4. Sunset walks for the win. By far our favorite time of day is golden hour, and if you work a typical 8-5, your schedule is likely clear when the sun is going down. To us, there’s no better way to enjoy the sunset than with a walk around the neighborhood. You could even pack some snacks and your favorite picnic blanket, and head up to the most epic sunset spot you can think of. 5. Sign up for an outdoor race or club. Signing up for a race can be a great way to motivate yourself to get outside more. If you have ambitions to run, cycle, or swim any distance, the promise of a future event can be just the extra push you need to get outside and do what you love more often. If you’re looking for a change of pace, consider an adventure race. These often rely more heavily on the use of map skills, navigation, and often include some kind of paddling activity. 6. Read in your Roo. I think we can all agree that indoor reading can get a bit stale. Grab your favorite book and hit the trail to your favorite hammock spot. Get some steps in, enjoy the outdoors, and read in the most comfortable outdoor spot possible: a Roo Double (on flash sale right now, for a limited time). No trees? No worries—the Swiftlet portable hammock stand has your back. 7. Plan one epic adventure this year. If you’re like us, the call of the next big adventure is always present. We often dream of taking five months to hike the PCT, venturing up north to paddle the Boundary Waters, or going on a month-long fly fishing expedition in Patagonia. But most often, these dreams aren’t realistic for our busy lives. We make a goal of one extended trip in the outdoors per year, and planning for them always gets us jazzed. Set your sights on a paddle trip, backpacking expedition, or whatever it is you’re into, and make something happen. Want more tips and tricks? Check out our DIY Tent Glamping Guide!
