View Full Version : Second Underblanket Group Buy.
wanderinstar
27-08-2006, 19:12
Have had a few people who missed first group buy, so have decided to do a second one. This will only be for the large one and payment will be by Paypal this time.
Am only taking names at moment, but this will be the FINAL one. SWMBO is causing bother about time I spend on here. So here goes.

But if you want to be put on list I will gladly do that.

My wife has been suprisingly tolerant to my group buys, especially since I bought her a nice leather mini rucksack :D
wanderinstar
29-08-2006, 18:29
Are you saying that I should BRIBE her with a leather rucksack?
The price with Paypal will be £57.43, dont know what I can say about it that isnt in first thread.
Hi Ian,
I'd like one as well please.
Thanks,

Hi Stewey,
The total cost is £57.43 inc p&p to UK mainland and Paypal charges. I believe Graham has answered your query about Hennessey. There are a few photos on first post using it with an HH. Wont be asking for money just yet but it will be needed before order goes in. Using Paypal should be quicker and easier than cheques and it will save me having to go up to bank every few days.
Have 13 tentative orders so far so its looking promising. Am hoping to get 50 this time as this will be last one.
I'm sorry to ask... but what exactly is an underblanked?
Does any of you has pictures/specifications or something?
Thanks :)
Hi Wanderinstar. Just PM'd you re this second group buy. Can I please put my name on the list for TWO underblankets on this second go. Thank you and looking forward to the imminent delivery of the first order... After the 8th of Sept I believe.
ATB from Swyn.

Thanks :)
the underblanket is an insulated sheet similar to a quilt that attaches under your hammock.
it provides insulation in the area where your sleeping bag cannot due to it being compressed
there are pictures on the first group buy thread.

great bit of kit. i'm looking forward to getting mine.

I admire your optimism :)
There is no way this will be the last underblanket group buy. It may be the last one you run but the demand is sure to mean that someone will take up the batten and do another. I am just trying to keep my head down so it is not me :rolleyes:
Yeah, I was thinking the same, there'll be more! Someone else can carry on your good work :You_Rock_

Have just been in touch with Snugpak re this order and MD informs me that as they are coming up to there busiest time he cannot say when they will be ready until I actually put the order in. Reading between the lines, the sooner the order goes in the less time it will take to make them. So don't expect them in 2-3 weeks like first order. So don't all hang fire until last minute.
sorry no can do bit poor at the mo :(
MagiKelly
06-09-2006, 12:21
If I were out to turn a buck I would order the remaining 13 or so needed to make up the order than sell them at a profit when the cold weather came up :)
The thing I always find funny and I am sure it will happen here as it always does, is that as soon as the numbers are reached and the order placed there will be a stream of enquires asking if they can be added. I also suspect when the first batch arrive that there will be a boost in requests. People may be holding off to hear what the production model is like.
wanderinstar
07-09-2006, 12:07
Thats not a bad idea John, worth thinking about.
Your right about people waiting till last minute. Was going to close first one at 30 but with late buyers it got to 44. But this time 50 means 50.
Please add my name to the list.
Thanks!
wanderinstar
08-09-2006, 05:54
Will do, but obviously postage will be more than posting to UK. Will advise when I find out.

Thank you Rich.
It seems that when I worked out PP charges I started from the wrong end.
Cost of blanket £55.34
+ £ 0.20 Transaction fee
+ £ 1.89 3.4% Charges
Total £57.43
Paypal do it from the other end.
Total £57.43
- £ 0.20 Transaction fee
- £ 1.95 3.4% Charges
Leaving me £ 55.28
So anyone who hasn't paid yet please note the total cost inc revised PP charges
is now £57.49.
Sorry about this, but you will see the reason.

Hello everyone,
Sorry to sound so mercenary, but on post #52 I asked for payment to be sent in with your name and address and confirmation of order. So far there are 11 people that I haven't heard from. If I don't hear from you I will take it that order is cancelled.
So lets be hearing from you. :)
Worth putting a wee note on the list next to those who have paid?
Are there any pics of the blanket packed up next to say a nanok 0c sleeping bag....?

Well thats 34 now ordered. To save time and get these blankets out before it gets too cold, I may reduce the number needed for order. If I do then the number I will be talking about is the number who have paid,not the number who have ordered.
The payments are coming in quite quickly now. Some people are paying the same day they order. God bless Paypal.

I agree John. Am very surprised, Still I have mine, so I will be toasty this winter. Just thinking of the people who have ordered this time and not wanting to get too far into winter before they are delivered. Once it gets really cold it will be too late because Snugpak will be all systems go making their own bags.

WHO IS ANDY BAUME??? Please PM me.
ASAP.
As some of you will no doubt be wondering about this post I feel an explanation is due. I had a call from Snugpak the other day to say that someone had emailed them. They said they had missed the group buy and would like Snugpak to add another one to the list, but it had to be sent to them direct and they would pay for it by credit card. I have sent 2 emails to this bloke with no reply. Only thing I can think is that he is a "Guest" trying it on. So thats why I want to know who Andy Baume is.
wanderinstar
21-10-2006, 10:13
There MAY just MAY be a blanket going spare. So if anyone ,who can pay by Paypal or if you live local, can get the cash to me, by the following day is interested. Drop me a PM. Price is £57.49 all in.
Sorry, but the possible spare blanket has now been paid for.
Hi all. Its me and I wasn't trying it on. A mate of mine told me about the group buy so I registered and saw that I was too late. Had missed the deadline so I tried to pull it out of the fire by contacting Snugpak direct. Apologies to wandrinstar if I've caused any offence that wasn't the intention. I wondered why snugpak hadn't replied :-)
I still would like an underblanket if I haven't blotted me copybook to much,

Contacting Ian direct would have been the sensible thing to do. Group buys are a great saving for members but people have to be really careful not to upset the people who run them as not only will they be put off but others will see the hassle and not consider them either.
I am glad Snugpac did not sell you a blanket as it would have been a shame for Ian to have had to ask them for compensation for using his design ;)
I do not think you had any malicious intent so am not really getting at you but thought it worth posting to point out the pitfalls in trying to bypass the organiser. We all benefit from group buys and the site would be poorer without the community spirit that is shown in committing to the work of running one without any financial benefit.
Anyway, I have a suspicion you may get your blanket yet ;)
Too Much Kit To Carry

Hi,
If there is a spare underblanket available or if somebody drops out would you please consider me a worthy owner? :)

Good news about the blankets BTW - can't wait to get mine!!!

No, afraid not. According to Snugpak it would have made cost rather prohibitive.
On reflection though it didn't need it.

Picked all blankets up from Snugpak this morning and have managed to send out 33 so far. Will do the others Monday and this will include the export models. Export models I hear you say, what's the difference. Ahh, the difference is very subtle. on the home models, the logo's are on the left hand side and on the export models they are on the right hand side.
Happy hammocking.

my shoulder kills as I offered to pack some underblankets up for my dad (wanderingstar) but tightening up 33 stuff sacks can take its toll. but still, I surpose its worth it if it is going to keep you all warm in the winter :) .
Ben
hehe, thanks again for doing this :p
Mine arrived this morning, Thanks for all the work Ian and Ben.
It looks like the dogs doodahs. :You_Rock_

Right everybody. They have all gone out now, including the export models. If you can let me know when you receive yours then I can cross you off the list.
Sleep long and warm.
Fantastic work Ian :D Look forward to recieving mine.
Sleep long and warm.

Thanks - I'll have to check it later as SHMBLT is chewing my ear (again) :lmao:
Phil.
Found mine waiting for me when I got back from work :)
Looks like I have added 33% to my oportunities to get out in the trees for a night.
Not tonight but I might try sleeping under it as a throwover quilt as I'm keen to see how warm it might be.
Many thanks for all the work that gets put into these group buys.

Thanks to everyone involved,
Hmmm now how does this work? Buffalo Bill and I had a go at setting it up tonight in my dining room (2 anchor bolts in the walls while she was away) after a lot of head scratching off down B&Q to get some bungee’s 2 x 90cm. This is what we tried. Where the rope goes into the hammock we put a small loop of Para cord and put the bungee through, attaching them to the outer loops on the under blanket, same on the other end. This looked good with the 2 side toggles lining up with the bungee’s on the Hennessey hammocks and enough freedom for movement. We put a figure of 8 loop in the black bungee cord on the under blanket pulled these tightish and put them up to the Para cord loop pulling the head end tight. The entrance end of the hammock I’m still lost with what’s best to do? I couldn’t open the hammock out fully with the tarp on as not enough space. So still a bit of fine tuning left to do, but these are my initial findings I hope it helps. I will take some photos when we go out on the 17th Nov and give a review.
Picked mine up from the post office this morning. Thanks very much for organising the second round.
Got mine yesterday thanks mate.
Now all I need is a chance to try it out....

"Ha Ha, you've had a bomb delivered", she said, then dropped it on the floor. :eek:
Cheers for organising this group buy.
Stu
Picked this up from the PO today, many thanks for organising this and doing the work.
Now I just need to work out why there are three webbing loops at each end with one offset :) All I can think odf at the moment is that it might me for folks that sleep diagonally in the hammock?
wanderinstar
31-10-2006, 18:30
Have to admit I didn't check them all, but there should be a loop on each corner, then one between corner and middle tensioner on one side. Then on the other side there should be a loop between middle and the opposite end. These offset loops are for those among you who have Hennessey's.

Underblanket received here Ian. Thanks very much and appreciate the effort you have put into organising the group buy :You_Rock_
Hi Ian - I received my blanket today in Montreal. Thank you very very much! Next step is to figure out how this thing works, and then try it out this coming weekend.
:)
wanderinstar
09-11-2006, 20:44
Brian, Glad you have finally received it. If you go to Kit Chatter. Feedback for Underblanket you will see a few ways to hang them. I personally think the secret is not to put too much tension on shockcords. If you have any problems give me a shout.
Any chance of another group buy?
fast celt
12-01-2007, 17:05
If your starting another group buy I'd like one please
John H :D
but this will be the FINAL one
Hate to put a dampner on you guys, but wanderinstar wasn't too keen on doing the second one yet alone another, don't blame him really...i'm amazed people like magikelly still have any sanity after running 7 group buys for hammocks!
Your best best would probably be to see if he'd give you the details so one of you can organise another group buy if you felt inclined to.
MagiKelly

Hmmmm!!!!!
Is that a positive "Hmmmm!!!!!" or a negative "Hmmmm!!!!!"?
wanderinstar
13-01-2007, 09:15
It's an I'm thinking type hmmmmm. At the moment I am in negotiations with someone to start selling them. Still up in the air at the moment. But if there is enough interest, it will make it all the more positive that they will be back on the market somehow.
just putting my hand in the air, im interested.

If there is something sorted before Feb Half term I will find a place for one or possibly two. Go on.........you will, you will, you will!!
Probably interested in another one.

Missed out last time so I would definitely be interested especially after speaking to Dommy this weekend and having yet another crap nights sleep in my hammock :D

Of course if it does not go commercial and you do not want to run another group buy someone else may be able to be convinced to run one
I'd take one more might - even go to 2 more.
Phil.
Come on mate, carrying one more spare for Sean is one thing....but two?
;)
I'd be interested cost dependant!

Not yet. But am keeping a list of people interested. If negotiations fall through I will most likely do another group buy. IF they fall through.
Gailainne
25-01-2007, 19:52
I'm interested, they seem to have went down very well with the last batch of ppl, I've looked but cant find costs anywhere, could you post them please
edit never mind found it :rolleyes: I know I know look harder.
Cheers
Stephen
Another interested party here, I only caught the the group buy the day it closed :(.
It would have been a bit strange to have baught one before I got my hammock anyway :).
Seán
P.s. hello everybody, I'm the quiet one keeping to the shadows
could I have 2 please.
I could pick them up form snugpak if need be.
wanderinstar
03-02-2007, 22:51
Errrr, you possibly could if I had started a third group buy. But as yet, unfortunately, I haven't. As stated earlier I am negotiating for someone to take over retail sales. Will keep you all informed of progress.

Hey all, how much and when is the buy taking place?
Also, would the underblanket fit the Ray Mears Hammock? Love the hammock but hate the cold bum on a winter morning :lmao:
I would also be interested if ok and if you need any help etc im up for that also. :D

PM me if this is a possibility

Fergus,
I haven't seen a Ray Mears hammock. Where abouts do you live? There may be someone near you so you could try it out.
MagiKelly
13-02-2007, 00:59
It will fit the ray Mears hammock. The Ecosystem hammock is dimensionally almost identical to the group buy hammocks.
I like to buy one too when the third buy is commenced.
cheers Woody
wanderinstar
23-02-2007, 22:13
OK everybody I give in third group buy started as retail side has fallen through.
Could anyone who has registered an interest on this thread please add your name to Third Group Buy, that way I can keep everything together.
