Hammock underblanket --- Group Buy

remind me..
the construction seems sound to me so far though.

The two pieces of black shockcord at each end - used to attached to the hammock ring/crab etc.. were sewn into the seam panels and would make replacing them nigh on impossible short of unpicking the thing - suggestion was they use web tabs there and attach cord to those.

They are still sewn into the seems but there are also web tabs at each corner and in the middle. I'll try and get a picture up later

PIcture of corner..

Weekend Warrior,
See where your coming from. But I dont recall having any communication from you on subject before. IF I had I may have altered design.
However I dont really see any problem as the shockcords in question do not come into tension once blanket is hung. May do slightly with HH on entry and egress. That is why they are shockcords and not solid cord ie paracord, so they can absorb any tension and prevent this being transfered to blanket.

Quite correct - you didn't hear from me. By the time I'd seen the blanket at the moot, made my observations, gone on family holiday and returned the original buy had been closed. So I was a bit too late to add my $0.02 worth. Mistakenly I thought Magikelly's post regarding corner tabs and shockcord refered to the same, but having re-read it, clearly it doesn't!

Not a problem, I can mod it myself quite easily.

Hi Ian, i received mine today many thanks, i've been out trying it in the garden and its mighty fine,the wee touch looks good to, looking forward to the cold weather now

Mine arrived yesterday, just collected it from the sorting office.

Impressed so far, thanks again for sorting this out :You_Rock_

Well they have all been delivered now,according to Post Office.

It has been an interesting experience to say the least, there was a time when I was thinking of jacking it all in. But I am glad I persevered, it was worth it in the end. There are a few people that I haven't heard from yet, probably on holiday.

Thank you all for your appreciation.

Thanks for yours and the test teams work.

Glad it was not too traumatic. By the sixth one you will hardly even notice you are running it

Mine arrived on Monday, thanks Ian!

Well, I just got back yesterday from a 5-night trip out at Loch Laggan using the original prototype. It performed splendidly, once set up right. Although it wasn't cold most nights, you really could feel the difference it made - initially I had it a bit slack and got a couple of cold spots forming, so I know it works. Graham's trick of taking the middle of the side shockcords over the ridgeline of your hammock is a good one - it helps keep the blanket nice and snug. Although I was only using a very light bag, I was so toasty I had to sleep half out of it on the warmest night.

It's a splendid bit of kit, and a big thank you again to Ian for making it happen!

 

[wanderinstar]

Great to hear from a satisfied customer. Wondered where you had got to.

if only I was smarter and had a better job
