Hammock/Underblanket Combination

[Phaestos]

Hi guys,

After my recent first outing with the Greater Manchester lot, I got a a bit of a preference for the hammock. Of course, as soon as I was told about, and subsequently tried it with, an underblanket, I was hooked.

So I'm wondering if anyone has any hammocks and underblankets they'd be willing to donate, sell, or trade for what little I can offer (i.e. Paracord bracelets ), preferably of the DD Frontline variety. Any links in place of offers would also be helpful.

Thanks guys, and if this doesn't work out, it was worth a try!

Cheers,

Phaestos

P.S. Mods? If this is in the wrong place, I gratefully request you transfer it over to the appropriate spot. I'm still getting to grips with the forum.

I have an old eurohike sleeping bag you could turn into an underquilt

You would be talking the best part of £100 for a basic 'bought' frontline and a fitted UQ.

This time of year (bug free) you can get away with a simple tenth wonder hammock and a good thick dutch blanket/windscreen reflector. Best part of £25!
Not sure how this would fair in the very depths of winter, but its a cheap start that you should get several weeks out of.

Light underquilts are expensive. Sleeping bag or poncho liner UQs are cheap but heavy/bulky. They're just as effective, if not more so - if you're not carrying it far then save the expense & make one from a sleeping bag - you can knock one up in 10 minutes (I've even improvised with a wool blanket and it was fine)

Hi Tengu. What would you like, as in what would persuade you to be willing to part with the bag? And would it suit colder temps?

Thanks,

Phaestos

Iv got a dd frontline with snake skins. But I would be looking at selling or trading it for $25-30

That's a good price for a frontline mate, is it the one that zips open on both sides?

And my underblanket is only a summer bag and I've used it in December! you could always put your roll mat in as well to give you double insulation although i doubt you'd need it.

I have a spare UKhammocks 1/2 length down underquilt, would take £40 posted for it.
This is big enough to cover from shoulders to knees.

I was wrong, not a eurohike but something called a Freecamp

Hey Tengu. How much are you looking at for it? And would it suit colder temps?
