Hammock underblanket --- Group Buy

remind me..
the construction seems sound to me so far though.

 

The two pieces of black shockcord at each end - used to attached to the hammock ring/crab etc.. were sewn into the seam panels and would make replacing them nigh on impossible short of unpicking the thing - suggestion was they use web tabs there and attach cord to those.

Got mine today and looks great the small touch is fantastic and a stuff sack too. Thanks again for sorting this out, any time you fancy a trip in a canoe then let me know!

They are still sewn into the seems but there are also web tabs at each corner and in the middle. I'll try and get a picture up later

 

PIcture of corner..

Quite correct - you didn't hear from me. By the time I'd seen the blanket at the moot, made my observations, gone on family holiday and returned the original buy had been closed. So I was a bit too late to add my $0.02 worth. Mistakenly I thought Magikelly's post regarding corner tabs and shockcord refered to the same, but having re-read it, clearly it doesn't!

Not a problem, I can mod it myself quite easily.

 

Received the underblanket today.
Top stuff, exceeded my expectations
Thanks very much for all your effort in organising this.
Have some well deserved rep :You_Rock_

A big thank you Ian for all the time and effort taken to get this project sorted :You_Rock_ .
Also a pat on the back the lads who tested the beta version and contributed to the final product

Cheers

Hi Ian, i received mine today many thanks, i've been out trying it in the garden and its mighty fine,the wee touch looks good to, looking forward to the cold weather now

 

Mine arrived yesterday, just collected it from the sorting office.

Impressed so far, thanks again for sorting this out :You_Rock_

 

Thank you,

mine arrived yesterday apparently. Looks great. Hope to try it out this weekend.

Thanks for yours and the test teams work.

Meaghaidh.

 

Glad it was not too traumatic. By the sixth one you will hardly even notice you are running it

 

Mine arrived on Monday, thanks Ian!

 

Well, I just got back yesterday from a 5-night trip out at Loch Laggan using the original prototype. It performed splendidly, once set up right. Although it wasn't cold most nights, you really could feel the difference it made - initially I had it a bit slack and got a couple of cold spots forming, so I know it works. Graham's trick of taking the middle of the side shockcords over the ridgeline of your hammock is a good one - it helps keep the blanket nice and snug. Although I was only using a very light bag, I was so toasty I had to sleep half out of it on the warmest night.

It's a splendid bit of kit, and a big thank you again to Ian for making it happen!

 

if only I was smarter and had a better job

 

Got back from a course last night to find a lovely warm and very well made hammock underblanket, thank you very much Wanderinstar for all your effort in getting this set up mate, I'm well chuffed
