Eighth Hammock Group Buy :banghead: (as if 375 were not enough already :rolleyes: )
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:

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. Hopefully the price will be about this level again but this is still to be confirmed.
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.

Not a problem, you just need to pay about an extra £1 or so each when we get to that stage.

Done.
I set up the transfer today so they should get the money in about 5 days and the hammocks should be hear about a week after that. They did tell me that the did not have the hammocks in stock as they had just put out a big order but the last time they told me that they still had the hammocks ready within a day.

I used some climbing tape, approx 2x 2.5 m sections just wrapped and a simple over hand knot to secure it. Then hook through. This is one way.

How did you get on with it and your bad back?

24-03-2007, 07:56
John let me havea shot of his group buy hammock when we paddled to the wallaby island and it's fair to say I was fairly skeptical it would take my weight/be comfy enough.
My initial thoughts are...
Brrrr it's freezing without insulation
Because I have a spinal frame in my back, lying flat is an absolute no no. My physio said hammocks are a no no too :rolleyes:
However when trying it out yesterday and after overcoming the initial "is this strong enough?" :D It was pure comfort. :) Because I'm lying at an angle and not flat out, it seems ok. (The trial will be to try it without painkillers!) I think the main issue is getting in and out without twisting my spine but I've got it sussed now. I only tried it for ten mins or so as it was pretty cold but in the next few weeks I'll take it to Loch Lomond for an over nighter to try it out. And by the way it is plenty strong enough-it was well tested ;)
I've got some ideas regarding insulation like using fibre pile as an underblanket with a windproof backing and using a sleeping bag quilt on top as opposed to a sleeping bag. This will ensure there are no mobility issues in getting in and out.
So I think this will be an amazing addition to camping in areas where tent would be hard to put up (eg the rocky islands of loch Maree) as well as light weight camping. I bought it for Midgie thinking it would be no good for me but now I'm seriously going to consider it as an alternative. I'll try n get hold of a paradise hammock or wait out until another group buy to do me for later on. So once again cheers for the advice and the hammock MK.
MagiKelly

I know a few people worry about the strength but my two girl go in at the same time and use it like a swing. If it can stand their abuse it will take any weight.
John, as discussed via PM, I hereby show an interest for two hammocks in a possible 9th group buy, if it takes off!
Now, I'll sit back and watch the place go mad!! :lmao:

26-04-2007, 22:32
me too!! :D
I'm surprised nobody else has shown an interest yet!
Still no more interest? It looks like I may have left it too late, I knew I should have got one on one of the previous eight group buys!! :rolleyes:
I'd be interested too... :p
raskusdrotti
27-04-2007, 21:46
three of us at the mo then.....
how many do we need again? :rolleyes:
Well, it depends on the number of hammocks you wish to buy, at the minute, fo this to happen, we each have to order 15 ofthem I think!! :eek:
15... might be worth it to be sure I'll have enough good hammocks for the rest of my life. I'd never want to be without! ;)
you can add me to the slowly growing list :)

Having just borrowed Swyn's this weekend (huge thanks to Swyn) and sleeping like a baby in it, I am definitely up for a couple if and when the next buy takes place :)
Good, a bit more interest and we may get another thread opened for Magikellys' 9th Hammock group buy. Let's hope so!! :You_Rock_ John

29-04-2007, 23:46
Provisionally put me down for one maybe two. It will all depend on when it goes ahead but i definatly have an interest as they are better than the one i bought off evilbay for not much more. My better half appears to have bagsyed the one i got for delamere so i am in need of another. :D
If there is a ninth group buy after using mine for a camp at the weekend I would like 6 of them for the Scout Leaders that helped me out.
I found that by putting my thermarest in 1st then my bag folled by me i slept like a Log only quiet noisey it was said absolutly brill bit of kit..
So 6 please for definate. :thanks:

30-04-2007, 08:57
A quick tot up reading back through the posts suggests we may potentially have a fairly solid interest in at least 15 more hammocks - if not I will make up the shortfall regardless :). So if and when another hammock group buy raises its magical ;) head at least 15 will be required :)
