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.
Sorry, I must have missed an etiquette thingy here, I'm new on the forums, I have tried the hammock (Bushmoot) I wanted to know which one it was so that I could pay over-the-odds for it if this group buy takes a long time. (I'm going out again real soon). I Want one and I want one NOW!!!!
P.S. I can't find any descriptive threads pertaining to the hammock, is it because I'm new or is it because I'm stupid?
No man is an ice-cube

Why I can't buy this hammock over-the-odds is because they make them far far away and only ship them in shed-loads. If I want this particular item I shall have to wait. This will have a beneficial effect in three ways:
1) I won't be pandering to jeuvenile urges of impatience that, quite frankly, at my age, I should have managed to control already
2) I will be purchasing a superior quality item at source at a price which represents excellent value for money and promotes fair trade instead of rag trade
3) I will be participating in a mutually beneficial economic model which, If everthing we bought in life was based upon, we would all be much better off
4) the combination of the three above points could help to initiate a new spirit of co-operation and responsibility whose implications could have consequences locally, globally and out into the wider cosmos

Pretty much
. I have to buy them in 50 at a time. I am not aware of anyone who stocks these exact ones in the UK however www.ParadiseHammocks.co.uk do a double hammock which is very similar but a bit longer (3.5m) so you could get one of those at almost twice the price but you will need to make sure you have a tarp that will cover your hammock as well.I am also asking the insect netting manufacturer about hammocks as he has ones that seem to fit the same spec but I have still to see a sample of these and find out about prices.
So no doubt another buy will be along some time in the not too distant future. I want to get the last of the insect nets out the door before I fill my house with hammocks again

When it looks inevitable it will be a lot of work to go through all the pages and PM those who expressed an interest but I will post that there is a new buy on this thread, as I have done in the past. So if you are subscribed to this thread you should see the announcement.
The Insect Netting supplier also supplies hammocks so I have asked them about prices and to see a sample to see if they might be worth trying for the next group buy. I have also had a thought about hammocks for children but I will post a thread about that gathering information.
Sorry, when I logged on, for some reason it took me to your first post in the thread (cached page??), the one where you give in under the pressure and launch another hammock buy, I then responded with my previous post. When I checked it I couldn't see your post below it so there must have been a mistake.
Please don't feel hassled, I can wait, I know that these group buys must be a pain to organise and I appreciate your kind efforts. Take your time and thank you, you still rock.

Some questions which I couldn't find any answers to.
1. Will you ship to the Netherlands? If so; what would that cost (currently for only 1 hammock)
2. What kind of material is used for the hammock? (I'd like it to be a bit breathing)
3. What's that weight of the hammock?

Goliath said:
Yes. Usually it is about an extra £1 on the postage.
Goliath said:2. What kind of material is used for the hammock? (I'd like it to be a bit breathing
Parachute silk, So it will breath but is not waterproof. Not that it needs to be.
Goliath said:
Not sure. Light anyway. The rings and climbing tape weigh more than the hammock itself.
Of course at the moment there are no hammocks available but the answers should still be relevant for the next group buy.
Thanks for your answers John.
I'll keep this thread open so I can see when the next group buy arrives

I'm interested in yet another one, I had one with me on a family reunion and had to leave without it (my brothers kids kidnapped it . That made my sister grumpy because she wanted one too :-(
