dd hammocks

[soggy boots]

Hi Andy
Thanks for your input!!
I saw your setup at Middlewood. It looked very organised and workable!
What I didn't see or recognise was your DD Travel Hammock, with midge net raised and, your under blanket in sleep mode.
The combination looks good and, in that case I am definitely interested in buying an underblanket.

LOL! Not that organised Soggyboots, I did forget to bring sugar for my morning brew up - am in your debt for that

I think whatever you use between the layers will be compressed and lose much of it's insulation, rollmats and thermarests excepted. Though, I have used my wool bushshirt and found that was quite warm. There have been a number of threads discussing hammock insulation/underblanket use and the consensus seems to be that it's the best solution, but not the only one. The only way to know is to give it a go and tell us how you get on, though I think you'll get better mileage from trying to attach the liner outside the hammock in the style of an underblanket.

Sandbag is the order being put in this week?

 

[mick miller]

I emailed Woodland Edge on the subject of hammock underquilts, to find out if theres any discount offered for a bulk purchase. It's £70 otherwise and that's just too much for me.

I'd be keen to find out if the poncho liner thing works out, it'd be considerably cheaper. I found a link somewhere to an american guy who'd done just that, he recommended a particular type of liner although I can't remember the details...I'll have a look.

Found it, here it is Sandbag...

[sandbag47]

payment is sent to dd hammocks and the hammocks will be sent out tommorow or the day after.most of us should get them by the end of the week....the lads abroad will take a bit longer,should be next week!?
ok two of you will get a pm from me..we have some money issues to sort out ...and incase anyone is interestd Lodian is still in the group buy..i will be doing a agreement with him,so he doesn't loose out

[mick miller]

[UKHaiku]

Job well done, and thanks again for including me at the last minute.. :notworthy

 

[andy_e]

Hope you enjoy that holiday, anyone have the number for Interpol

But, seriously, happily second that Wooohooo!!!

 

[jimmyh]

Why are you all so enthousiastic about those hammocks being shipped?

I'm affraid of getting sea-sick in the hammock when I test it out in these winds..

Better look for big trees, otherwise with the tarp over it it'll be something like kite-camping.

How 'bout a group buy for nice weather
