StarCocoon Hammock Sleepng Bag".

[wanderinstar]

Finally picked it up. Will try and get some photos of it laid out flat tonight. (nowhere to hang hammock indoors) Will also try to get weight.

 

[wanderinstar]

Ok. the weight is 1.72kg. here are some photos, hopefully.

Well thats all 4 options in Photobucket, and i haven't got a photo out of any of them. Help somebody, pleease.

1. In Photobucket, just under each picture there are 4 options - you want the one labelled "Direct link". Copy the contents of the box, then go back to BcUK and select "Go Advanced".
   
2. At the top of the dialogue box is a square with what looks like 2 triangles pointing upwards and a square in the top right corner. Click it and a dialogue box opens.
   
3. In this box is "http://" - delete it and then right click your mouse once - select "Paste" from the options. This should put the URL of your picture into the box.
   
4. Click OK.

Hopefully your picture will be in the post once you submit it!

Looks snug

EDIT: Sorry Simon, I hadn't realised that you'd posted. Photobucket and my system don't like each other and it took 'an age' to go in and out for each shot.

 

[wanderinstar]

Well there you have it or should I say them. Will try get out at w/end and get some shots with hammock.

Simon, I thought it was just a case of clicking on the insert image box in top bar and then paste address in box provided. Us younguns don't understand all this technology, need help from our elders

Looking at the links it looks like it had extra http:// on the begining, I'm guessing the insert immage box has that part already, try it by deleing the initial "http://" before pasting your link in.

Cheers Glen, that seemed to work. Thanks.

Fair play mate

I had a quick look so forgive me if they're already up, but what are the dimensions of the Cocoon?

 

[wanderinstar]

Due to bad weather this weekend I was unable to get out with hammock and Cocoon. so i slung it in attic. Due to bannister and not too secure hooks I had to pack hammock with pillows . Here are the photos.
Can't add this picture. The Cocoon is in black stufsac and the Underblanket plus GB hammock and tapes is in green stufsac.

I did have a little helper.

This image shows how much material is left under hammock.

 

[w00dsmoke]

What are the maximum internal dimensions of the cocoon? Width and Length and does it unzip fully to convert into a quilt?

w00dmoke

 

[wanderinstar]

No it does not unzip fully. It is 10ft long and 5ft 6in in circumference at widest point.

Looks great, Ian. I have enough hammock gear, but I am sorely tempted by this thing. If it can be used without another quilt inside (as in, not too much dead air space) I'm in.

 

[wanderinstar]

Well someone had it out last night and will be out again tonight, hopefully it should be cold enough tonight to thoroughly test it. Preliminary reports seem good.
Wentworth, you shouldn't need another quilt inside it unless it is extremly cold. How cold does it get in Australia
