As you may be aware, the old HammockForumUK shut down over 18 months ago, so I have decided to step into the breach. Here is the new one, http://hammock-uk.forumotion.com/ I had a chat with Tony, and he said it was OK to post up a link to it here. After all, this forum and a hammock forum are...

A little overnighter with some workmates. https://youtu.be/r1fp3flFJjQ

Took the of the chaps from work out to a local wood, for their first ever hang. I am lucky that I have enough hammocks, quilts and tarps for 6ish people now (summer use, winter - prolly only 3). Think I have made some converts. Now I have to persuade them that camping to hike is better than...

Just a little overnighter with some ground-dwellers from the trek-lite forum. Sat/Sun 21/22nd Jan 2017 From Simonsbath to Foreland Point, via Hoaroak, The Doone Valley, Oare and along the coast path. (12 miles and 9 miles) Trip vid...

Hammockforum.co.uk went down for maintenance last month and was scheduled to be back up on 22nd, but nothing yet. Does anyone have any encouraging news?

This has been languishing on my hard drive for far too long. A little overnighter from when I was just starting out with hammocks. Went westwards from Lynton to Parracombe, via the Valley of the Rocks, Woody Bay and Hunters Inn. Not a long trip, 19km (12 miles), but I was toting 18.5kg, 40lb...

Group Buy: Stein Skyline (8 strand hollow braid Dyneema) in 1.5mm, 1.8mm and 2.2mm Have just ordered three 50 metre reels of Stein Skyline, one of each size. Here is the supplier, http://www.sorbus-intl.co.uk/climbin...nd-accessories Taking into account the postage (from the supplier to...

I have pretty much got to the end of the 500m reel of 2.5mm dyneema. Thought I would canvas you lot and see if there is an appreciable appetite for more of various sizes. There is a UK supplier of Stein Skyline in 50m reels. He has; 1.5mm for 39p/m (250kg) 1.8mm for 44p/m (350kg) 2.2mm for 48p/m...

Demo of my hammock suspension using cheap stainless steel LoopAliens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYK535AG1h4&feature=youtu.be Bear with the first minute, GoPro was misaligned. Inset shows detail...

I switched my ridgeline setup to a pair of fake loop aliens from eBay (one English pound for three) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AahV6pu-U&feature=youtu.be Impressed with the speed, options and cheapness...

I've talked to Dutch and he's happy to ship to the UK, but it makes sense to make it a big order. So, is anyone keen to get hold of stuff from the Dutchware website? Right, this is back on, paycheck is in! I am going for either a 11' netless and a Fronkey bugnet (or material to DIY same), a...

I'm thinking of buying a reel of this; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261935122145 Any enthusiasm for joining me? Works out at around 11p per metre. Comes in a range of colours, I was toying with the multicolour reel myself, buy thought that might be a bit challenging for those of you with an...

Just in case you missed it down in the Group Buy section, I'm making a order of various Carabiners in the next day or two. Go here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133451 Apologies for cross-posting, soz.:o

UPDATE I still have a few of these left, anyone like some? This is what I have; Edelrid Ninteen G The lightest full strength (>2000kg) carabiner out there. at £6.83 a piece. I know they are OTT for most applications, but at only 19 grams, they are in the same ballpark as...

Longtime lurker finally popping my cherry. Be gentle with me. I have put a new thread up in a sub forum, But I can't see it. Are there restrictions for new members? (joined in 2010)

I picked up some cheap Polypropylene cord at Lidl the other day, 1.7 and 2mm. Thought I might use it as guy-lines for my tarp. I decided to make some adjustable guys and a whoopee sling seemed ideal, except for the fact that a 12' length of cord only made a 6' maximum guy. So, I thought I...
