My mate has seen active service in Afghanistan and uses a hennessy hammock. He's been using one of my 1st hammock quilts for some time. The one I have for sale is one of three that I have made over the last few days. Two will be off to Helmand provence shortly. He wanted a lightweight quilt that was also tough, packed small and was not green or black. The brown is not quite coyote brown but is close. Its a little richer, my mate reckons it will be spot on for the terrain. The pics have been taken indoors with a flash and make the quilt look much more orange than it does in natural light.

I have also sewn the quilt so that it curves very slightly. I have a similar curved setup that works well for diagonal and side sleepers alike whilst still being good for those that sleep straight down the centre of the hammock.

One above is now sold and will shortly be on its way over the border to sunny Scotland.

I did decide to make another last night. The new one is approx 125cm by 108cm. So ever so slightly shorter than the one above.

Same colour, same amount of down etc.

Dito as Fredcompanybushcraft if you can hang onto the end of the month. It's just what I have been looking for to go in my Hennessy.

No problem. The down will be here near the end of next week and I have another batch of brown ripstop on the way. That'll be enough for 4 in total. I have had 6 enquiries so far. After this batch I will be having another sewing break.
