Sixth Hammock Group Buy

Sixth Hammock Group Buy :banghead:

Okay I give in. The reserve list for these has now grown to the level where another buy has become almost inevitable. The information is the same as the first post in this thread

Or this one :rolleyes:

or even this

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=11866


or a number of others, although frankly if you do not yet know about the group buy hammocks you really have not being paying attention.

The last time the price worked out at £19.30 including postage and PayPal fees. I am not aware of any increase but allow up to an extra couple of pounds in your planning in case. Before I place the order I will confirm the price.

I am not placing the order yet but will do so when we get to about 40 reserved between here and SotP.

So far

Aha Fergus finally succombed ;)

[soup_monger]

Yeah, took me long enough. :rolleyes:

I'm wondering what type they will be (i.e the DD ones or the Nomad's land ones.)

Oh, and that Tarp I got from you a while back John has been used a lot and it's superb!

Yes :D

Oh you want to know too ;) . They are green and gold but actually very subdued. There are some pictures on this thread

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=10449

but a quick search of the forum will find lots more.

Singeblister, I do not take payment till I have actually received the hammocks so just keep your eye ion the thread. I would expect it to take a couple of weeks to get to that stage.

[soup_monger]

Those are the ones I was hoping for John. :)
Great stuff, thanks.

[Singeblister]

Thanks , i have subbed to the thread and will keep my eye on it :)

Now 5 on SotP. I'll be away over the wekend till Monday night / Tuesday so do not be surprised to not hear from me for a few days.

[bryanr]

I think that this is the best deal in town so I am interested in two with nets to go with them. Any issue with shipping to the US?

BR

Not a problem I have posted to the US before. Adds about £1.50 to the cost of each hammock also there are no insect nets available at the moment but I will add you to the reserve list.

[MagiKelly]

The price for delivery goes up in June so I will be placing the order for these early next week so they should be here about a week after that. Experiance has made me confident that the ones that are not reserved yet, will go soon enough that I will not be landed with 25 hammocks.

[Sparrow]

Hi, Can you put me down for one of these too! These look really handy and a good place for me to start posting!

Cheers!

[bambodoggy]

Yer go on then John, I'll take one too....I'd hate to think there's a make of hammock out there that I don't own! lol

Netting has its own thread here in the group buy section but it has got to the listing for next buy stage. Tarps are not on the current horizon but then again neither was another Hammock buy :rolleyes:

[C_Claycomb]

Can I have one too? :D

I saw several this weekend and was very impressed. I already have a hennessy, but these were a nice design when bug screen isn't needed.
Cheers!

I'd be up for a tarp and straps if theres a group buy in the offing (oh yeah and for buying Magikelly lots of beer as a thank you)

Straps is much harder than you would think to source. Just can't get a group but of them to work out. PayPal and postage just make it not worth the effort.

I can see about Tarps. Need to check what the minimum order would be this time.

[PhilParry]

I'll have one please!! Can you put me down for some netting too?

Ta!

Phil

[MagiKelly]

Can you put me down for some netting too?

Only if you post on the netting thread to get on the list for the second order. Not many left so you might want to hurry ;)

Hi John,please don,t think of me being rude and impertinent,but i was wondering will we per chance have the hammocks arriving before the next scottish meet.

The reason i ask is that if they are i can get my finger out and get tapes etc bought. Cheers.

[bloodline]

Two for me please can I pay by cheque as I dont have a paypal account if its too much hassle I still want two I will have to get someone with an account to pay it for me.

[PhilParry]

Does anyone have a good source of climbing tape to tie these hammocks in place?!? :o


Phil

[MagiKelly]

List Updated

Stuart the hammocks are already half way here from Bali so I will have them early next week, so yes they will be in time for Loch Achray. I can post it to you to practise with or hand deliver it at the meet up.

Bloodline a cheque is fine.

Phil your local climbing shop should have tape. You want the softest tape you can get as it ties and releases better. Eldrick Supertape is good. If you check the fourth hammock group but thread i am sure I posted a good contact for getting it mail order. I have looked at buying it in bulk but the savings were just not there to justify a group buy.

[Brian]

John,

I've tried to resist but it's no good mate can you put me down for one, :rolleyes:

Brian

[MagiKelly]

John,

List updated, only 2 left :rolleyes:

[MikeL117]

Hi John

OK, OK.

I was convinced that you could not possibly get them before I set off on my travels :rolleyes:
Yours are just that bit longer and a lot lighter than the excellent 'DD' hammocks.

You have just two left :confused:

Can I have them both please? :o

Thanks

[PhilParry]

Great...got one! :You_Rock_

One other question. I've now received my eco-system disc from woodlore so all is clear in terms of how hammocks and netting goes together (erm...I think! :o )

The question is, does anyone know what type of knot is used to fasten the actual hammock to the ring?!?

Figure of 8? Tape knot ? Reef knot? Something else?!? :bluThinki

All advice appreciated!

Phil

[MagiKelly]

The question is, does anyone know what type of knot is used to fasten the actual hammock to the ring?!?

It is stitched on. Now remember to stitch the loop with the ring inside cause you can't add it after ;)

[wortbag]

Hi Magikelly and all,

should anyone drop out, or if you change your mind about needing two, I'd be happy to take up the extra one....fingers crossed.

Have fun in the woods!

You might be in luck. I am sure that someone on SotP droped out and I forgot to change the number from 15 to 14 on here so there is probably one still left. I will add you to the list above as a provisional and confirm on Monday when the hammocks arrive.

[tetra_neon]

If anyone else drops out please could i take one off you!

cheers

[PhilParry]

That's a VERY good point.......of course I would have thought of that at the appropriate time..... :o

Just confirming John, you haven't posted confirmed prices yet? I want to give you some money!!! :D

Phil

[MagiKelly]

The price will be £19.30 again. I will post payment details once I actually have the hammocks.

[MagiKelly]

Okay. Hammocks have arrived all safe and sound so I ma taking payments now. The price is as expected £19.30.

PayPal payment to John "AT" MagiKelly "DOT" co "DOT" uk

I will get them posted as soon as possible but PLEASE remember to put your username in the comments box as well as what you are paying for as it saves confusion. In event of confusion I keep your money AND you hammock ;)

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?!? :eek:

Advice appreciated, as ever! :D

Phil

[MagiKelly]

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! :o . Does that mean the hammock/netting get wet if using the standard Hoochie, or does your gear get wet?

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.

:beerchug:

[MagiKelly]

How much do you trust the current cord/rope that is supplied with the hammock and how they are tied?

I trust the cord absolutely but the knots I would always check. I took the hooks off mine and tied rings on with the cost , using a fisherman's knot to join the ends and covered this in electrical tape to make sure it did not slowly slip undone.

Stuart, I should have told you that you need to order a hammock for at least each of your children and passably your wife. Once they have tried it they will not settle till they get their own.

Thanks for that John.

Did you also use a knot to attach the "tree-line" to your ring (if so, what knot did you use?), or stitch it on? :rolleyes:

I stitched the tape on to the ring.

Sorry Kaz but this batch are all gone. SO far I think there are about 6 names for another buy so there is every chance it will go ahead again. There is likely to be a small increase the next time as the shipping cost has gone up but I will confirm that when a 7th group buy becomes inevitable.

Hello, what hammock is it?

[MagiKelly]

The group buy hammock :D


If you have a look at the first page of this thread and the threads linked too you will get lots of info.

[drstrange]

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

Hi, go to post # 1 of this thread and click one of the links ;)

[drstrange]

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

I am not aware of anyone who stocks these exact ones in the UK however www.ParadiseHammocks.co.uk (http://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 :rolleyes:

And trust me, ive been in Magickellys house and seen all the gear stacked up he has for theses group buys. Theres the hammocks, the insect netting, the dry bags, the ta.......... :D

[Wookey]

John, I would be interested in two hammocks as and when you do another buy.

[Axe Catcher]

I'd like to go down on the next group buy list please. Could you PM me when it looks inevitable?

Cheers AC

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.

[Bigman]

I would also like to be included in the next group buy for a hammock.

Many Thanks.

Neil

[drstrange]

Yes please, I'll take one, thank you very much. :You_Rock_

[drstrange]

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.

[Goliath]

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?

[MagiKelly]

1. Will you ship to the Netherlands? If so; what would that cost (currently for only 1 hammock)

Yes. Usually it is about an extra £1 on the postage.


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.


3. What's that weight of the hammock?

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.

[Goliath]

Thanks for your answers John.

I'll keep this thread open so I can see when the next group buy arrives ;)

[Bumblebee]

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 :-(

[mayfly]

I'd be very interested in one as well!

[fast celt]

I'd like one too
Any chance of a new group buy yet? :beerchug:

I am waiting to see samples and get prices from the supplier who made the Eco System. Once I have those I may do anew group buy with these hammocks or do another with the existing one. Either way I would expect to be running one within a month or so

[Biddlesby]

Does the demand ever end :rolleyes:. I'm poised for the next buy.

:You_Rock_ Don't you ever tire of distributing stuff? Not that anyone here complains... ;)

They are a lot easier to pack than rucksacks and mess tins. Only a fool would run repeated buys of those ;)

[reddave]

if there's to be another group buy, put me in for 3 of the current ones or could you do a critique of the new one for us to assess please?

[MagiKelly]

I would certainly be doing a full assessment of the new model on here before I would expect anyone to order one.

[Bootstrap Bob]

MagiKelly,
I remember reading a post somewhere about you considering doing a group buy of the complete hammock system, hammock/under blanket/netting. Is this still on the cards?

[MagiKelly]

MagiKelly,

Don't remember saying that. There is currently a Group Buy being run for an underblanket. I have run group buys for tarps as well as insect netting but not really planned doing a combined thing. The problem is that people may already have parts of a system and so not want all the bits. Certainly there have been group buys for all the bits and no doubt will again but you kind of need to catch them as they come.

In saying that I might be doing a buy shortly for a hammock that has a built in insect netting but it would not include a tarp or underblanket.

[Bootstrap Bob]

MagiKelly
Oh yes, sorry it was just the hammock and netting - found the post.

I would be interested in the next hammock group buy if you are planning one - will keep my eye on the section.

Well done in organising these :You_Rock_

[scoops_uk]

I'd be interested in the next hammock group buy too.

Magikelly, you're an absolute star organising these :You_Rock_

[pippyd]

As a complete hammock newbie I'd be interested in the next GB too!

Cheers, Phil

[swyn]

I would be interested in the next hammock group buy, but, as I like the original one can it be that? (x3) or are you going to try another type.
My older children have taken a liking to the original.
Sorry in advance for being a pain from Swyn :rolleyes:

[MagiKelly]

I will only be doing a different type of hammock if it is better in some way or as good but cheaper. If neither of these criteria are met then it will be the same ones as before. Of course if you don't want a better one..........................; )

[swyn]

I will rely entirely on your good judgement. As to my order can I make it x4 instead of x3 as a friend dropped by from NZ, liked the hammock and underblanket and wants both. Thanks from Swyn.

[PhilParry]

Hey John,

When you do the next one can you put me down for two more? I friend was so impressed that he wants one, and I think a spare would be a good thing!

Thanks,

Phil

[nigelp]

Hi John

Please let me know when next buy comes around, one for a friend.

Nigel (can be found on SOTP also)

[Flint]

Hey John,
I would also be interested in a hammock if you are placing another order.
Thanks,

Tom

[Aragorn]

not bought mine yet so count me in :D

[Womble]

Hiya

I might be interested in a group buy if another is organised, although all I'm really looking for is a mozzie net..

[Zodiak]

Do you know what the weight limit of these is please?

Its not that I am a fat B (ok so I am a bit) but I get through mini net hammocks in a year and wanted to make sure before comiiting :)

Thanks

[thedude]

They say somewhere that the weight limit is 150 kg but i spent a fair amount of time in mine with my young lady last summer and together we weigh about 160 (I am a larger lad, she isnt).

No signs of wear but that could just be my one...

[Halfdevil333]

Hi Magikelly
If you havent placed the order yet i will have two of the hammocks if possible.

Cheers
Scott(Halfdevil333)

[Zodiak]

Can you put me down for one too please. :D

[woodmunky]

Can someone link me to them? wanna see what they're like and how much they cost.. etc

Getting lost in this rather epic thread :)

[Biddlesby]

The threads linked to in the first post of this thread have some good information at the beginning.

Not worried about weight, but more about height. Will a 6'3" person fit in the hammock comfortably, do you think?

[swyn]

Yes to the 6'3'' question I'm 6'1'' and v comfy... I think they are superb, so do the children, consequently much pressure from them to have one each... and my friend.
Swyn.

[MagiKelly]

I'm checking the costs at the moment and will post a new group buy thread once I have the information.

[woodmunky]

yea i'm lost lol can you just quickly link me to the site with the description and price please :)

Sorry, the first thread takes me to another community thread, which in turn takes me to another.... u get the idea lol

[al21]

Can you add me to your list please?

Cheers,

Al

[DarDar]

Definitely interested in the next one if it goes ahead!
Muchas gracias!!

Seventh hammock buy now running here

[Zodiak]

Sorry to be thick, but I put my name down on 6th buy here, do I now oput it down on 7th buy instead?

[redcollective]

Sorry to be thick, but I put my name down on 6th buy here, do I now oput it down on 7th buy instead?

No, not thick, it's just a very very long thread - the sixth buy ended a while ago. :)

[MagiKelly]

Sorry to be thick, but I put my name down on 6th buy here, do I now oput it down on 7th buy instead?

Yes but I have added your name already to make sure you did not miss out. Keep your eye on that thread though as it is where I will request payment.

The people posting on this thread expressing an interest were, in my mind, just doing that. They were not committing to by a hammock just showing the level of interest. The new group buy thread is the place to confirm orders.
