Sixth Hammock Group Buy

[PhilParry]

Here's another (God I'm a pain!) question.... :togo:

Has anyone tried the standard Hoochie over this wonderful hammock (thanks again John!)? :bluThinki


I've got one and really didnt want to have to buy another, but appreciate (having checked out some of the related piccies and postings) that there are many who have gone for something larger....are you trying to tell me something?!?

Advice appreciated, as ever!

Ray Mears uses a standard Hootchi with the eco-system and it is the same size as the group buy hammocks but I find it to be too short. I want something with a ridge length of 3m as a minimum and 3.5m is ideal. A Hex Fly has a ridge length of 3.5 m and a 3m square tarp set diagonally has a ridge length of about 4.5m.

Thanks John. knew there'd be a reason! . Does that mean the hammock/netting get wet if using the standard Hoochie, or does your gear get wet?

Where would a thicky bushcrafter find one of the aforementioned tarps?!?

Hi MagiKelly,

If/when you get another batch of hammocks then I'd be certainly interested in buying one. I'll try and keep an eye on the forum but if possible PM me.

Many thanks

Andrew

Don't forget JFW at Lanark when his hammock knots untied three times during the night That'll take some living down.

By the way whats your favourite tipple.

I am going through a heather cream phase but I have been getting a slagging for that on SotP but don't worry about that just bring yourself to Loch Achray and not too many potatoes

Afterthought...are snake skins worthwhile and do the group-buy hammocks fit them??

I would say no. For the Hennessy hammocks they are excellent and I would not be without them but the way you hang the group buy hammock and tarp is sufficiently different to make it not really worth while.

Thanks John,

Would a stuff sack (as in eco system set up) work better?

I think I've got a spare one that'll do just the trick!

You, Sir, are a gentleman!!
