Reindeer skins.

Oooooooooooooh, they're nice.

Now I'm even more cheesed off I missed the boat on this one :11doh:

If you ever do this again consider me an interested party

 

[Pablo]

I have tested it out and can confirm that watching TV from atop a huge pile of reindeer skins is most comfy

Stuart,

Don't get any smart ideas about covering your 3 piece with them!

I know I'm being cheeky here,but any chance of one of the darker ones?

Stuart, I don't mind waiting till the end mate

 

[Toots]

Excellent. Still not sure what use I will put it to though!! You are indeed a star man Stuart.

 

[Wookey]

Can you tell me average dimensions. They look really cosy, do you think one is adequate for hammock use in place of a thermarest?

 

[buffalobill]

Great stuff Stuart - they're looking good! Can't wait to try them out in the hammock.

Thanks again for organising this :You_Rock_

 

[Womble]

ohhh... they do look good.... looking forward to hammock testing my one of them!

 

[scruff]

Ooh they look the bees knees!

Can't wait to get them.

Maybe I should have asked earlier but do you need any self sealing post "bags" for them Stuart as I could probably send you some?

We use different sized ones at work for mailing everything from T'shirts to Sports bags.

that would be great if they are large enough, I would need 29 of them.

I was just about to head out and look for heavy dute plastic bags

 

[Pablo]

'owt wrong with a black bin bag?? Not that I'm mega impatient

[MagiKelly]

I have used blue rubble sacks from B & Q for large items like these and they worked out well and not too expensive. That and a roll of duck tape to seal it up.

 

[Stuart]

Scruff is posting me the self sealing bags (thanks Scruff :You_Rock_ )

they should be here tomorrow morning, I will post as many as I can tomorrow afternoon

I picked up my reindeer skins from Stuart today - well impressed! The fur is a lot softer than i was expecting and you can feel the insulating warmth just by holding them. The larger of the two skins I received will probably be sufficient in my hammock, though I'll probably try both for that luxury touch! I just need winter to come back around again to give them a proper testing

 

[Stuart]

All the skins have now been posted; they should turn up at your doors in the next few days.

I'm really happy with how smoothly things went, there was the odd delay with people forgetting to send cheques or missing lines from their address but nothing major.

I have also been inundated with PM's asking if I will run another reindeer skin group buy and since this one went so well I don’t see why not.

I will open another thread and if there is sufficient interest I'll see if I can sort out another lot for those that missed this one.

 

[Stuart]

the second group buy has started here for those that missed this one

 

[Phil562]

Just received mine, am I work at the moment, so can't get it out

Many Thanks :You_Rock_

 

[BorderReiver]

SWMBO still says I can't have one.

"You don't need it,you've got all the stuff you need,anyway the dog would eat it."

Why do wives have to be so sodding practical all the time?

 

[jdlenton]

my wife said i couldn't have the first one so i ordered it . shes just opened it now and thinks its great. i haven't told her i've just ordered another

[scruff]

Just opened my 'lil' grey bags.

WOW!!! These furs are the tops!

Cheers Stuart you rock!

Much obliged

 

[Womble]

Thanks Stuart - mine arrived yesterday and is great.
