Well, the third party has withdrawn there interest, at the moment. So the good news is that the long awaited group buy is now going ahead. I have a rough idea of possible buyers. But to make things easier for me can you please register your interest on this thread. Will check with Snugpak re cost, but I think they will be the same as last time.
The cost then was £57.49, this inc p&p to UK mainland also Paypal charges. Will only be doing the large one as in 2nd buy.

How much are they?

Anyone have a link to what, exactly, an underblanket is? Sorry, kind of nieve with this...
2 for me.
I can call at the Snugpak factory most week days if that make this easier. Could collect and post out if it would make things cheaper (I'm not volunteering to everyone postage though :D )

Backyard,
Cant remember the actual size but have looked up this comparison done by Outdoorgirl.http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=15358&highlight=underblanket
If this does not answer your questions let me know and I will get mine out and physically measure it.
Have just amended first post re last price etc.

Thanks dear, I'm just not too fast making a decision sometimes....I know if I snooze I'll lose though :)
I'd be interested to know about the prices and timescale before I definitly say yes if anyone knows?? :cool:
wanderinstar
22-02-2007, 21:57
As in other two buys payment is reqd up front before I order blankets. The timescale will be about 4 weeks after order goes in and I will need 40 orders. The price for last buy was £57.49 inc p&p to UK Mainland and Paypal fees. As soon as I hear back from Snugpak I will confirm price.

23-02-2007, 09:57
Wanderinstar,
You quote £57 on the first post and £54 on the one above :confused:
Is that for the different sizes, I know there was the longer version as well.
Also I know prices are to be confirmed by Snugpack.
Cheers
Mark
Hi Wanderingstar
Put me down for one aswell.
Can you give an approximation on when you will require payment?
Cheers
George
wanderinstar
23-02-2007, 22:08
Sorry Mark, dont know where that came from. Have edited post to correct price.
I've wanted one of these for ages, but I've just blown next month's slush fund on one of British Red's axes. :(
When would you want paid for this?
wanderinstar
23-02-2007, 23:22
How long is a piece of string. Once I get about 30 names I will start to collect money and then when list gets to 40 i should have most of money in.
Twice as long as it is from one end to the middle!
Put my name on the list for now. I may drop out, but for now I'll throw my hat in...
one so far thanks (will probably end up being two, but ill update tomorrow)

OK everybody, just heard back from Snugpak and it's all systems go. Delivery will be 4 weeks after order goes in. (It's their busy time now.) So as soon as everybody gets paid up, the order goes in. Anyone still deciding whether to get one or not, it's time for action, not thoughts.

Thank you Ed for your kind offer. However I think I will deliver the local ones myself ( putting faces to names) So I will PM the people concerned to check that its OK.
Gailainne
28-03-2007, 22:09
Aint pushing
It looks like the 20th April you will get them from the manufacturers ? then you need to sort them out and post them on.
So we should see them sometime near the back end of April ?
Cool
Stephen
I may have mentioned it in passing... :You_Rock_ Beers on me at Delamere mate.
Stephen
I'll be at the Delamere meet but don't worry if you haven't got them by then.
let me know if you want them collecting from Snugpak. I'll collect and run them over to you.
You're more than welcome to collected and deliver mine - I'll even get some biscutes in. Or you could come over and have a mooch around the wood.

I have just checked out the first underblanket thread from way back to have a look at the pics taken of the blanket fixing for Toots' A-sym and was met by the dreaded red x in the spaces where the pics should be :( . I notice they are also missing from your gallery Ian - is there any chance they could be resurrected for numpties like me? :p

13-04-2007, 20:05
Yet again I have received an email from Snugpak from someone asking for an underblanket.
Just so everyone knows, these underblankets are made solely for myself to sell to BCUK members. Snugpak will not make one offs for individuals and I would not expect them too.
The person concerned asked me for one and I told him the group buy was finished.
He obviously thought he could go over my head and get one direct from Snugpak.
There will be another group buy when there is enough demand. There is a minimum order for these, and I can assure you it is more than ONE.
Rant over.
Hi Ian
Picked my underblanket up from the Post Office this morning. Looks the business. Will be trying it out next weekend.
Thanks for all the hard work in organising this. :You_Rock_

Have now started 4th Group Buy, Dont know if we will get the numbers this time of year, but we will see.
I know this sounds daft but can anyone with a blanket and access to accurate scales weigh it, in stuffsack, for me. Mine is all wrapped up with hammock and mozzie net in a slightly larger stuffsack. Just need an exact weight for postage price to States.
Thanks.
