Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I'm still interested in one, pending review and pic's.
Nice work Wanderinstar.
Edit - Just a thought will you be at Bushmoot? Would be good to be able to see the item in question and the moot is only a few weeks away?

edit: good work for organising this but I think I'll wait and see how these perform before commiting to buy.
Good pics Wanderinstar (who is that dashing hero? 
)
It appears that the underblanket is hung seperate from the hammock, rather than attached to the hammock, is that correct?
Do you feel that the width is correct, it appears (not clear in picture) that it only comes part way up the side wall of the hammock when your weight is pushing the hammock down?
What are your feelings Wanderinstar?

Hi,
Just to let you know, so you don't include me in the "interested" list that i'm going to remove myself from this group buy.
having to tighten my belt in the finance department due to a potential house purchase coming up.
Well done though for organising it. A+ for effort looks like a comfy bit of kit....
Not to worry...I'll pinch Jon Pickett's once he falls asleep.

Didn't realise he had got me in it as well.
Yes it is hung underneath hammock and not fixed directly to it. In the case of group buy,the hammock is a DOUBLE, and if you have someone else in there with you don't think you will worry about cold. Probably have other things on your mind
Have more photos that I will forward to Magikelly to reduce in size for me.

Looks promising. I think it would have it attached closer to the hammock on the tapes to keep the ends closer to the hammock and stop cold air getting in. But these are the sort of things you discover when you have a proper play about with it, which hopefully I will be doing soon. Even the Kick *** Quilt takes a but of adjustment to get right.
Having had a bit of a play with the prototype underblanket I am impressed. Fits both Magikellys group buy and the Hennessey hammocks just fine IMHO.
The underblanket secures to the hammock lines at both ends with a simple prussick knot so it can be positioned as required.As has been said the elastic lines on the blanket are fairly long. Shortening these lines would have the effect of pulling the blanket further up the sides of the hammock. The side lines are also adjustable in the middle to fine tune the fit to suit.This is good as it gives the opportunity to experiment and find a suitable length for many different types of hammock.
On a HH the lines can be shortened and simply attached to the clips for the asymetric tarp. (those with HHs will know what I mean). There are three loops on either side for the guying out points (see pic) , the middle of which was nigh on in the perfect place for the standard asym. Getting in and out was not a problem as the suspension cords are of elastic so it can be easily pulled to one side and will just spring back in place once inside.
Difficult to comment on the insulative qualities but Snugpak know a thing or two about that so should not be a problem.
As Magikelly says a bit of time spent adjusting and getting it right in the first instance means that it should be a no brainer when it comes to using it in anger(or at leisure!!).
Good work Wanderinstar. :You_Rock_

Please dont forget its only when you have paid that you will definatly get a blanket. If someone comes on list after you but pays before you, you move down.
Its just because the order has to be in for end of July. Hopefully there will be another buy.
Just trying to be fair all round.
