Seventh Hammock Group Buy

Seventh 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

etc etc :rolleyes:


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 have checked the price and it should be the same if I am ordering within the next few weeks..

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

Let the frenzy begin.

There is certainly plenty of talk on them here. Do a search for "group buy hammock" and settle down for a long read.

Time wise I will not be placing the order till next week as it is a holiday at the factory this week. The money takes about 4 days to get there and then the hammocks about a week to get here. Depending o how quick you pay when the information goes up you should have the hammock for about mid November.

Nice one :)

Just let me know when you want the claud :)

[Goliath]

Well, I'd like one too, I'm pretty interested after reading the hammock camping book by Ed Speer so if possible I'll take one too :)

Shipping to the Netherlands by the way but I've read that it isn't much of a problem, only some extra costs for me :)


Hmm... On second thought, I'll pass. I'm kinda short on money at the moment (being a student sucks) and I don't really need it right now, so if you didn't order yet, please take this post as invisible :P

Good luck though and I hope everyone who ordered will be satisfied :lmao:

[Zammo]

Any pictures of the hammock? I have followed the links but the manafacturers website doesn't work and the link to the ebay hammock has expired.

[andyn]

LOL...John...looks like you could easily extend this to 100! Your life is never going to be same again!!! ;)

[MagiKelly]

I have enquired about getting a batch of 75 instead of 50 but have still to hear.

[MagiKelly]

I have confirmation that I can order 75 and the unit cost will still be the same. So everyone is now on the confirmed list and there are a few spare too. I will be placing the order tomorrow so I should have the hammocks by the end of the following week.

John - would you be willing to accept cash through the post for the hammock? I don't have a paypal account.

[MagiKelly]

I take cash or cheques as well as PayPal. I do prefer PayPal for its convenience but money is money.

Payment details will be posted once I have the hammocks.

[al21]

Can you put my name on the list for a hammock to, please.

Many thanks,

[woodmunky]

i second that lol awaiting the next buy otherwise...

[MagiKelly]

Looks like it will be next week before the hammocks arrive now. For some reason the bank transfer is taking longer than normal.

[Zodiak]

OK kick me for being stupid but have I paid you for this yet? :confused:

[MagiKelly]

OK kick me for being stupid but have I paid you for this yet? :confused:

No you have not and neither has anyone else because I have not asked for the money yet ;)

[MagiKelly]

Looks like this is going to be another week or so. The hammock supplier has a new bank account and the bank, in there wisdom, have rejected my payment. So we now need to wait for the money to come back to me so I can send it again :rolleyes:

I'll let you know when there is more news.

[Bumblebee]

I have been in that situation too and it took two months before I got all my money back... This was in france however so let's hope that UK banks are more efficient!

[MagiKelly]

I have been in that situation too and it took two months before I got all my money back... This was in france however so let's hope that UK banks are more efficient!

UK banks would be bad enough but I have to wait for the Indonesian bank to get round to sending the money back. Time will tell and all that.

The hammock supplier is not at all happy either as he would rather have the money too.

[MagiKelly]

Okay. Hammocks have arrived all safe and sound so I am 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 your hammock http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hi John,

My hammocks just arrived, WOW! they are really good, I'm very impressed, thanks.

I was wondering though, what would be the best material to suspend them? I had been thinking about some form of canvas tape or simmilar, any ideas? Oh and where to get it to?

Hjaltlander

[Zammo]

Can someone please put a picture up of one?

The best thing to use is climbing tape. you can use webbing but I do not like as much. Rope will damage the trees so tape is my preferred choice.

My favourite tape is this one

http://www.kayaksandpaddles.co.uk/canoe/kayak/uk/shop/rock-climbing-hardware/edelrid-products/edelrid-tape.htm

Not cheap but good.

[MagiKelly]

Can someone please put a picture up of one?

There are a lot of pictures of the hammocks on the forum. If you do a search on Group Buy Hammocks and have a look through the threads you should see quite a lot. I have to go now but later I can have a look through and link to some.

I got lucky and won an eBay action for ~30m really high quality climbing tape for just ~15GBP including postage from the US. :cool:
Cheap webbing (anyone want some?) stretches quite a bit if you are "solidly built" but climbing tape doesn't stretch at all.

[slamdunk]

Thanks MK - arrived safe & sound this morning. Really appreciate your efforts. :You_Rock_

[Halfdevil333]

got them this morning.superb quality.
Thanks MK.

[MagiKelly]

Oh i see people are asking what to put them up with and i have checked out climbing tape but how much of this will i need to buy????

Got mine today it feel like a really nice bit of kit so thanks again. :You_Rock_

I got it out in the living room , clipped it over the stairs and 'er indoors said that it definatley wont take my weight. Which was nice. :(

I had a kip in it this evening at my Scout HQ, it was fantastic until it rained and I realised that my hootichie is slightly shorter so I am going to have to investigate pitching it diagonally or using end covers again. However MUCH easier than my old mini hammocks and much more comfortable.

To suspend it I used a combination of old climbing slings and carabiners, OK for now but I need to get some tape by the summer.

Excellent, got mine this morning! It looks really well made and is surprisingly small when packed up, i like the stitched bag, one less thing to have to put somewhere when your out in the woods and it acts like a pocket.
Cant wait to use it!!

Cheers again Magikelly!!! :You_Rock_

I just did a inventory and found 30 meters of 25mm nylon webbing that I am never going to use, so as a small thank you to the community I will send three people 2*5m for their new hammock. The only thing I want in return is that you click on the scales in the top-right corner of any of MagiKelly's posts and give him a green rep point.

The webbing is unused and OK for hammock use, especially if you are not a fat lump like me, obviously not as good as climbing tape but on the other hand is quite a bit lighter. And free :cool:

So the first three people PMing me with their address gets a set. :headbang:

[reddave]

hell, i don't even want the tape. rep point for magikelly. too few people of that calibre in the world today.

[British Red]

Bumblebee,

Don't need the webbing, but have some rep (if people don't spot it here, can I suggest a post in the swaps section - my stuff went double smart :D)

Hi John

Hi John
Know I'm late but any chance of two hammocks?

Not on this buy I am afraid but keep your eye open for another in a month or two.

[PhilParry]

Many thanks John - got mine today. :notworthy

I'm sure I echo everyone else's thoughts when I say a big thank you to you - you're almost a recognised charity for all this hard work! :D

I don't know where you find the time!! :You_Rock_


All the best,

Phil

Please keep me in mind for any of this batch that don't find a home John.

Put me down for the next one :)

[DarDar]

Mine arrived this morning John. Super piece of kit - just one problem though.......i can't work out how to roll it up properly to get it back in neatly!! :lmao: :lmao:

Seriously though anybody got any tips? and well done again to MagiKelly for organising this :You_Rock_

[Biddlesby]

Just before anybody nicks mine: I've finally got the paypal off. Cheers! Sorry 'bout the delay.

[Womble]

I've put up my "Magikelly Special" and found it to be very spacious and comfy. I like the extra length it has over the DD, and really appreciate how it wraps all the way around me, even with a semi-inflated thermarest in there with me. And the pack size? Stunning.

The only complication I've found is that it's longer than all but one of my tarps (the Hennessey hexfly). However, with a bit of experimenting, I found that the next longest tarp was long enough if I set it out along the diagonal access. It looks just a bit odd, but I found that this asym layout was actually more stable and taut than ways I've used it before; and gave better views.

So... result!

[godfather]

Hammock is great but could wake up after sleeping in it. too comfortable!! :)

many thanks

Marco

[ScottC]

Go on John, you know you want to :D

[Biddlesby]

Wow that was fast! And it's huge so no problems with length. Cheers.

Hi there Magi Kelly think this is a new batch since I was last in touch and missed the boat Please count me in for one this time, or if this was the batch I missed put me in for one on the next buy also let me know how to pay you . In advance if you wish. I did not get details of the hammocks from the forum as I am a relatively new member. It was JFW {Farquhar} that reccomended me to you as he is very pleased with the one he got from you some time ago. Hope I am in time for this batch.
Looking forward to seeing you again the next time you are at Loch Achray if not before then.
Cheers for now o'smokey. Stuart S

[MagiKelly]

Hi Stuart, it was this buy you had just missed out on. Just need to keep your eyes open for the next one. I will post a note o this thread when I do so you should get a notification.

[Ahjno]

Cheers John! I found my hammock waiting at my parents house this morning! Good start for the weekend, especially now I'm free 'till Tuesday from uni :D

[al21]

My hammock arrived this morning. Many thanks MagiKelly!

Now need to keep an eye on when the next group buys for tarps, underblankets and mosi-nets happen.

Just like to add that you provide a very efficient service that many retailers would do well to copy.

Toodle pip,

Al

[quadmad]

Got mine yesterday Magikelly.

Great product and great service!

Thanks

[dean4442]

I can only agree with what everyone else is saying fantastic service and a great piece of gear too! :You_Rock_

[Zodiak]

I spent my first night in it yesterday, what an amazing bit of kit! Plenty of room and the higher sides kept the draught off but my back was frozen!! NOW I understand why I need an underblanket :lmao:

I was actually in a scout HQ and hung it from the roof beams, but every one of the little dears wanted a go so it took me 30 minutes to get to bed :D

I got round the cold back with a large sheet of bubble wrap :)

Thanks again, its a real pleasure to use good kit, and I think that my collection of old mini hammocks might get donated to the scouts next year ;)
