Third Hammock Group Buy

Wayland

Hárbarðr
Just out of interest , I was in B&Q today and came across some smallish laquered caribinas made by Master Lock

They feel too heavy to be aluminium and they are marked "Not for Climbing" but they seem strong enough for the hammock I got and they are lighter than my climbing crabs.

The best bit is they're just under 2 quid each.

Even if they're not up to the hammock for everyone it's still a good price for a gear crab.

I keep expecting a flood of pictures from those that have bought these, after all there is about 90 out there amongst the membership but like me they must have not got round to taking pictures yet.
Aw go on then...

Head end higher to stop me dozing off in my lunch break. Spot some other group buys too.

I'll let you know quantity in a couple of days, once I find out from some friends if they really want to go ahead or not.

I'd like 2 please John.

As an aside, I have not managed to use the hammock properly yet due to work/family commitments at the moment.
Does any one know if my Khatmandu(spelling?) 2.5x2.5m basha will give enough coverage, or will I have to splash out on a larger one?

30 ish so far. About half way. I am willing to take about 5 for myself as I can always give them away as Christmas Presents and also I am sure that if we do get enough for a third order there are bound to be a few people looking for hammocks after the fact.

John, could you up my request to 2(two)?

Of course. Not a bad idea to go for a spare. If this is not the last group buy it will certainly be the last for a long time anyway. If you look back through the previous buys it is quite noticable that a lot of people have bought one then taken more at the next opertunity.

My plan is to wait till we get to 40 then I will place the order. Once we have reached that point I am confident the remainder will find a home. Even if it is just to supply those who wished they had ordered more ;)
