Cheap Hammock?

[Pablo]

Has anyone tried one of these:

They seem quite cheap and I'm wondering if there are any alternatives in that price range. I'm not really prepared to pay for a Hennesey for the amount of times I'll probably use it.

Cheers

If you are looking for a good hammock and at a good price.
check with MagicKellys. I bought 2 from him and they are great.

He is a great guy to deal with.

I picked one up in TK max for £8 (actually i got two and sold the other on Ebay) and it seems to be the one i use the most, probably due to my lazy habit of rarely fully unpacking my bag. As with most hammocks youll need some insulation for your back but It does exactly what its supposed to do.

Hi Abbe, do you have a website or contacts? I'm interested too but I googled him and had no joy...

sorry mate, I spelled him wrong. MagiKelly is his name here at BCUK.
He is organising group buys.

Click on the Link Ahjno pointed you too, there you get to his Thread.
Thanks for helping out Ahjno!

That's not the half of it, If you drop the word hammock and just do a search on MagiKelly you get 10 pages of results

I have an extra long one. Its okay but only comes with basic ties, you need to factor in possibly some webbing or rope and I added carabiners (think thats spelt right) to get it set up right. It works and is 2 layer so fits a thermarest inbetween for cold weather. Only critisism is its a bit narrow but I was 18st (lost some weight now) when I last used and am 6'4''.

When I go out next I will use again. Hammock camping is great.
