Fifth Hammock Group Buy

Okay I give in. The reserve list for these has now grown to the level where another buy has become almost inevitable. The information is the same as the first post in this thread

Or this one

or a number of others, although frankly if you do not yet know about the group buy hammocks you really have not being paying attention.

The last time the price worked out at £19.30 including postage and PayPal fees. I am not aware of any increase but allow up to an extra couple of pounds in your planning in case. Before I place the order I will confirm the price.

I am not placing the order yet but will do so when we get to about 25 or 30 reserved as I did not have any the last time to put on SotP.

Let the frenzy begin.

And if you have not done so you might want to put your name down for the insect netting group buy as well.

Seeing as I've asked for two lots of insect netting - 2 hammocks please and a huge thanks for doing this again.

 

[gunnix]

Wow great news MagiKelly

I'd like 4 hammocks please.

Will the cost to send it to Belgium be a lot higher then the mentioned 19,3 £ ?

greetings

 

[moduser]

Sorry I didn't realise you had to order multiple hammocks on this group buy

Seriously John I'll take two instead of one.

I can always use the second for hanging my kit in or in a dire emergency put the wife in it

[Bardster]

Yeah - think I better take two - just in case the wife ever comes with me

John,

Some questions about the specs:
- What's the length of the hammock? I've read in the very first group buy thread the length could vary from 2.8 - 3.2m ... Was there any variation in sizing in the 4 groupbuys you did?

- Just to be sure: it's a single layer hammock isn't it?

For all the other guys:
Is there anyone who uses a Magikelly hammock in conjunction with a Woodlore tarp / hootchi / basha / whatever? Any pointers? Good, bad - tarp needs to be a bit bigger, etc. You know, the usual stuff

Cheers,

The group buy hammocks seem to be have a consistent material length of about 2.85m. They are single layer.

As for a tarp this has been discussed a fair bit and I think the hoochi or basha is a little small. I think you need a tarp with a minimum of 3m length. A hex fly gives you 3.5m along the ridge. Recently I have tried the 3 x 3m tarps and set them on the diagonal which is them over 4m long.
The postage to Europe is an extra £0.80 per hammock. Hammocks are sent in individual packages.

[missy mycelium]

Please, please, please can I have one. But is this for real???or just another hammock group buy rumour Thanks for all your hard work you will get your rewards in hammock heaven :You_Rock_

 

[Pablo]

Can someone point me in the direction of where to get the straps etc from and how easy/difficult they are to attach to this hammock.

cheers

To save everyone reading through all the other group buys for the information:

Rings (To replace the hooks and be a bit more secure)

Cheap tape - This tape works, but may stretch a teeny bit. For better quality tape, you need climbing tape, but it's significantly more expensive.

Ease of attachment, I'd say very easy.

 

[Prickly Pear]

As good a reason as any to quit delaying signing up and getting stuck in these here fantasitical forums. Your drawing us in from far and wide MK (well...Kent ). I'll take two please if thats possible!!

Cyclingrelf thanks for posting the links. I have to say though I do really prefer the climbing tape. It does not stretch at all and has a soft feel to it that makes tying & releasing the knots much easier but it will add almost £15 to the cost of your hammock.

 

[Moff8]

I'll take one please

 

[swyn]

Can I have two please. Thankyou.

 

[Bhageera]

I'll have one please.

Thanks.
