Some people on hammockforums.net have snipped their Hennessy ridgeline and rejoined it with a carabiner. This allows them to unclip the ridge and flip the netting to the underside of the hammock.
I personally feel this is a waste, as a top loading hammock can be made within half an hour with no sewing.
However, this would allow a sleeping bag to surround a hennessy.

The good thing is when it's cold enough that you'd need to use it, you don't need a mossie net.

I'm not so sure about that Andy especially about this time when it's warm enough in the morning and evening for the buggers to come out but there's still that chill factor in the wee hours to fully warrant an underblanket.

Saying that I have the GB hammock and GB net and together with my homemade underblanket I tend to use them these days rather than my DD so it's all a bit of a moot point for me but I'm interested to keep abreast of hammocking developments

You're right Matt, but I meant cold enough to want to totally cocoon yourself - admittedly most mornings for me - even up here it's fine now with the regular underblanket and quilt - and the midgies have only started rising.

Well, sadly there does not seem to be enough interest at the moment. So will put this on the back burner till later on in the year. May resurrect it in the Autumn. To those people who have shown an interest, thank you.

 

[wentworth]

This may sound odd, but perhaps enough interest hasn't been shown because the thread title doesn't tell people what the group buy is? Maybe its easily past over? Just a thought. I for one am looking forward to seeing the finished result.

 

[wanderinstar]

Maybe your right Aris. But at the moment I have other more important issues to deal with. I still have to pay out the initial cost of bag, for Snugpak to make sample. So when I resurrect this project I will bear that in mind.

Ian,
Prob' too late now, as I had not seen, but I would be interested in this project. Please do take it up later in the year, as saw something similar in the states last year. That one was a bit bulky though, if this uses reflectatherm it should be alot smaller packed.
Cheers,
Mark.

Right thats it I am going to have to start paying more attention to stuff again. I totally missed this thread until now. I have been thinking about an idea like this for a while. So would be very interested depending on price and stuff.

How is the sample coming on ?

popped my cherry last weekend swinging from two trees so now I'm interested in a cocoon. Price dependent of course...

Well that adds a whole new dimension!!!!

Just been to see Snugpak re prototype. Bet you all thought I had given up with the idea. Prototype should be ready in 2-3 weeks.

Interested depending on price.

Very interesting.

 

[Graham_S]

Right then.
For the third year in a row I'm playing guinea pig.
All things going according to plan, I'll have the prototype at the Moot for interested parties to have a look at.
Anyone wants to see it, give me a shout.
I'll be the one in a swannie wearing a leather hat carrying a knife

[elrond]

could be tempted dependent on price.

 

[wanderinstar]

Don't think it will be ready for Moot, I'm afraid. Snugpak have been snowed under just lately.

I'll add my mark to the list of interested parties (with usual caveats of course!), I've spent ages reading back over the forums since I've joined and I totally missed this as well. But it sounds good and beats ordering something from the US and fighting with customs etc,
