Are the posties working tomorrow? If they arrive tomorrow, I may take them up the woods and give them a try out! I'll take one of the kids to try the other one!

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Sadly only 10 got sent out on Weds. I had to repack all the blankets because they were put in large stuffsacks instead of medium ones. They would not fit in the Post Office polybags. Have been away for 2 days, so first thing in the morning I will get the rest off. S o r r y for any delay, I was hoping on Weds to beat the impending strike. Hopefully however it may now be off.
Never had any trouble before, I can tell you on Weds night I was definitely glad this was the last one. I have mellowed a bit now.

Just a comical aside. Tim, my youngest has been helping me this morning. He got 5 blankets in the new stuffsacks and the ends tightened up. " Where's the straps for the sides Dad" "They were in the bottom of the sack, didn't you take them out?"
His face was a picture. Eventually he saw the funny side of it.
Well thats it, they have all gone out. In the hands of Post Office

Mine arrived yesterday. I'm going to give it an outing this weekend. Many thanks for sorting all this out, Ian. I just know that my kidneys, back and shoulders will sing your praises from here on in!

No joy on mine! Couldn't have been in the sacred ten!
A new dockers shirt arrived though, but I wasn't supposed to know as it was for my birthday! It's very soft!

Well now all the blankets have gone out I would like to remind you all of the Feedback thread,
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15711&highlight=Feedback+underblankets
It would be nice to hear what you all think of them. Good or bad.
Because even though I will no longer be selling them myself I would still like to hear your comments, possible improvement's etc
Doing these Group Buys has been very worthwhile and mainly an enjoyable experience. Being able to supply you all with, hopefully, an excellent product at a reasonable price. At some times I thought, God that's expensive. But I then looked at the prices again to see if anything could be pared off. For example with the quilt I thought I could leave the insulation out of the "wings" to reduce costs, but on talking to Snugpak they said it would not be worth the effort, as it was all quilted in one piece.
As before, will you please post when your blanket arrives as it saves me logging onto Post Office site to track deliveries.
Once again, thank you for you custom and enjoy. Happy hammocking.

Thanks, Ian
Mine turned up 10 minutes ago, can't wait to try it out at the weekend, my cat Frankenstein dived on it 30 seconds after it came out of the bag, now pretending to be sound asleep and refusing to give it back!!
Thanks once again,
Charlie KMQ
p.s. she says it's really warm!

Mine have arrived! Will be tried and tested soon, I have been having a rethink of how to sling the whole system up, and reckon I can do it with one piece of cordage to put tarp and hammock up in one go! More info after testing!
Mine arrived this morning.
first impressions- bigger than I thought but faultless manufacture.
I quickly realised that the underblanket takes up less space than my Fat Airic mat
so it is actually a space saving
I would like to thank you for organising the group buy Ian and will post more feedback once
I've spent some time in it.

the postman just arrived with a big parcel . . . for me! What on earth could that be?
Aha!
Fantastic - thanks for organising that Mr Star. If I don't get to test it at the North Wales and Marches Meet at the end of the month I certainly will this coming weekend.
Agree with spamel that it would be ideal as a duvet in milder seasons.

Got a card through the door from the postie, I wonder what it can be?
Probably a late Valentine card, what with all the strikes!
Well the postie is always very friendly, but he's not really my typeProbably a late Valentine card, what with all the strikes!
