Mind blowing trails

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."

The ultimate hammock basecamp We teamed up with TAXA Outdoors to put a Kammok spin on their Woolly Bear habitat. The result is a go-anywhere, do-it-all trailer that's ready for any hammock adventure. We could all use a little more time outside, and the Kammok Edition Woolly Bear is the perfect tool for getting out and staying out. The Camp Chef's Dream Kitchen One of the biggest barriers to getting outside is the comfort you leave behind at home, one of the most crucial being a fully functioning kitchen with everything you need at your fingertips. The Woolly Bear kitchen offers the best of both worlds, with clever organization, plenty of workspace, and the ideal outdoor setting. Now you can get outside with confidence and cook to your heart's content. A Gear Closet on Wheels The Kammok Edition Woolly Bear has a place for all your camping essentials. No more packing and repacking: Load up once, and you're always ready for the next outing. Introducing the Outpost We knew a Kammok Edition Woolly Bear wouldn't be complete without a robust, full-size hammock setup. The Outpost easily attaches to the cargo deck of any Woolly Bear and allows you to hang a full-size hammock in virtually any setting. The Outpost's lightweight frame make it a cinch for anyone to deploy, and the tool-free setup means it's ready to go with the press of a button. Adjustable legs and a 360 degree swivel mount allow you to hang your hammock on any landscape, from smooth blacktop to the roughest backcountry campsites. Create the ultimate hammock basecamp by attaching up to six Outpost hammock stands to your Woolly Bear. With the addition of a rooftop tent, your Woolly Bear can comfortably sleep up to nine happy campers. Arriving Spring '22: Outpost 2.0 will allow for attachment to your vehicle's roof rack or a single tree.

Kammok Outsiders know the feeling of connection that comes from stepping into nature. It’s the first breath of fresh air when we get out of our cars and into the mountains. It’s the audible sigh after jumping into the ocean where all we hear are the rhythmic waves crashing onto white sand beaches. However, there’s no doubt that these spaces and experiences away from our screens are in danger due to climate change.  Our commitment to protecting the environment for current and future generations extends beyond Earth Day. We’ve announced our commitment through our partnership with Climate Neutral (read more on it here). We know that for there to be any hope of surviving the climate crisis, we have to take action as both a brand and as individuals. Earlier this month our team at Kammok paused work at the office and hit the trails, but this time we didn’t camp or climb. Instead, we decided to pick up the trash that humans have left behind along a local trail.  We spent our day walking the Barton Creek Greenbelt in Austin and picked up a surprising amount of dog poop bags, styrofoam cups and plastic wrappers that were bound to end up contaminating waterways, buried in the soil for hundreds of years or in the stomach of wildlife.  For anyone who spends time outside, we urge you to take another look at the seven principles of Leave No Trace. They have great educational resources about the importance of creating minimal impact in wild places.  Still have questions or aren’t sure why this is important? Drop us a message on Instagram, we’d love to hear from you!  After our team outing on the greenbelt, we decided to get the community involved. For this cleanup, we wanted to hit the streets instead of a trail. So much of the trash that ends up in the wild actually comes from urban areas. With heavy rainfall, winds and waste transportation, a lot of it makes its way to natural areas.  We put out an invitation for people in Austin to join us in cleaning up our neighborhood. We set up outside and welcomed new and familiar faces to the Gear Shop for a trashy adventure.  We split into two groups and made our way East, trash bags in hand, gloves and grabbers at the ready, we walked along the streets picking up plastic wrappers, cigarette butts, old shoes, rags, glass bottles, and styrofoam.  Along our route, we were pleasantly surprised by the number of people who stopped to thank us for picking up trash. People know it’s a problem, it’s a matter of getting out and doing something about it.  Protecting our planet is not only an environmental issue but as our founder Greg McEvilly says, is a human issue. It affects our way of life and it’s our responsibility to do something about it. While picking up trash may not be a long-term solution, it’s a small action we can each take in addition to lowering our consumption of single-use products, using alternative modes of transportation, and choosing to support brands that take climate change seriously. At the end of the day, we didn’t just spend a Thursday evening cleaning up trash, but also connecting with people who understand the power of collective action.  Thank you to those who showed up for our first community cleanup in Texas. We can’t wait to organize more in the future and expand to other locations. Stay tuned for future events in Austin by following @Kammok_ATX on Instagram.    

At Kammok, we're on a mission to elevate time outside by designing adventure grade, better made gear. Gear supports our experiences outdoors, but producing gear creates carbon emissions that impact our planet and the people: from our families and neighbors to the factory workers on the front-lines of climate change overseas, and even future generations.  We believe that climate change is so much more than solely an environmental or political issue—it's a human issue that affects all of us. If you’ve been with us for the past 10 years, you’ve heard these three words come up a lot: Adventure, Community, and Love. These three words drive why we do what we do at Kammok.  It's a challenge and an adventure in itself to reduce our climate impact, and we do this for the love of our global community. We take responsibility for our footprint and are committed to reducing our future impact.  Solutions to climate change exist, they just need funding. If we can drive investment into these projects, we can cut our emissions and get on the right path to a zero-carbon future and a balanced, healthy climate. Kammok is one of 230 companies that is committed to leading the way. We're proud to announce that today on Earth Day we are officially Climate Neutral Certified. We've spent the last three months working with Climate Neutral to measure our 2020 carbon footprint. We've calculated all of the emissions that it takes to make and ship our products to your doorstep. We then offset all 7,033 tonnes of carbon by investing in climate change solutions, including renewable wind energy farms and rainforest conservation. But the work doesn't stop there. Over the next few months, we'll be hard at work reducing emissions from the most impactful carbon contributors in our supply chain. We have plans in place to reduce emissions from freight shipping, partnering with Bluesign certified mills to ensure water and energy reduction in textile manufacturing, and incorporating recycled materials in existing and future product lines. More good things to come.  A cleaner environment now means we are able to elevate time outside for future generations.  Let's get to work.  Sincerely,Greg McEvillyCEO & Founder
