And what with the weather at the moment, (it's peeing it down here in Silkstone at the moment heralding the end of summer, which started ten minutes before the rain did!) it is probably a good idea to jump on the band wagon, god knows there have been loads of groupbuy hammocks purchased, you wouldn't want to get a cold because you didn't buy an underblanket!
Glad this buy may now get off the ground! Thanks very much for giving in!:You_Rock_
i'm buying this for use in a tent as a warm under layer - just guessing it will work - has anyone used one for this purpose?
wanderinstar
15-08-2007, 06:12
I had better take you off the list then. If you use it to lie on the insulation will be compressed, rendering it significantly less able to do its job.
The reason it is called an underblanket is that it hangs UNDER the hammock, therefore NO weight is placed on it. The hammock carries your weight, therefore NO compression of insulation.
Hate to say it but a Thermarest would be better to use on the ground.

Do I take it you want your name removing from list or do you still want one for hammocking?
no, i still want one - it looks like a 10th hammock buy might start soon, so i will still get one - very appreciative for you explaining what i asked!!
thanks for adding me to the list Ian, been away for a week and was panicing this would go ahead before i got back :rolleyes:, nice site we stayed on by the way, called forest glade, near cullompton Devon.

Just to clarify things. These Underblankets and the Quilts are made by Snugpak on my order, they are only available from myself. I get a bit annoyed when people try to go direct to Snugpak. They wont supply you, due to copyright law, so please, if you want one put your name on the list. We need 30 orders to make this doable. So if people try to go behind my back it may deprive genuine people from getting one.
Have these been advertised over on SOTP? There may be a few people there that need an under blanket perhaps.
wanderinstar
21-08-2007, 06:29
Yes they have mate. Underblanket was posted 13 Aug with no replies and the Quilt was put on 19 May again with no replies.:dunno:
12 so far, nearly half way there! A quick bump for those who are ordering hammocks ATM. You'll be cold without one of these!

Sorry, saw the group buy on "song of the paddle", clicked on the link to here, but couldn't get the link to work, tried e-mailing a few companies for an underblanket (including Snugpac, 'cos thats where I got my sleeping bag), got no replies, tried the link a few hours later and got through and got myself on the list - didn't realise they were a special order, humbly apologise for going behind your back, but it wasn't on purpose

regrettably have to take myself off the list - my landy has just failed its mot with £1500 of welding needed, so i need a new one, and funds are diverted. s.orry Ian for any inconvenience

I'll have to work out a modification to Magickelly's hanging to accommodate my Hennessy. I expect I'll use bungy so that once inside the undeblanket will snap into position.

Humpback,
It is suspended on 4 lengths of shockcord at each end, so all you have to do is pull it out of the way while you climb in. It will then just snap back into position.

Just thought I would let everyone know, that this fifth group buy will definitly be the last. The fourth one was rather slow and this one appears to be the same. So if anyone is THINKING about getting one this is the one to be on. I know I have said it before but I am getting tired of it now. As soon as the list gets to 30, that's it, finished.
I'll bet anything that come the autumn/winter, people will be clammering for one. It's a shame you feel that way about doing the group buys, but I see your point. It has been really difficult trying to get the numbers for this one. I'm sure all 30 will go soon enough.
PP on the way.

it's a bit dissapointing that we could'nt get over 30 after all the effort you put in Ian, esspecially if you now have to contact snugpack for a reduced order, can understand that you are making this your last group buy, just wanted to voice my appriciation
It's a shame you can't make 30. I for one don't mind if you want to wait a little longer for others to join in. Maybe if you ask nicely, one of the mods can edit the title of the thread to "Last ever underblanket group buy". That might encourage a few more participants.

Do these fit the Hennesy hammocks ??? bearing in mind they seem to have a lot more material in the sheet and designed to be slept in diagonally (welsh method :D )
i can easilly put in clips to putll them to the guy elastics but are they wide enough
if so maybe another 2 here
wanderinstar
07-09-2007, 18:21
Yes they do fit the Hennessey. There are two loops, one either side to facilitate the side guys on the Hennesey. Th blanket just pulls to one side allowing entry. then because of the shockcords it just slips back into place when you are in.
AS I HOPE YOU WILL ALL UNDERSTAND, RUNNING 2 GROUPBUYS AT THE SAME TIME CAN BE RATHER CONFUSING. SO IF YOU HAVE PAID AND IT DOESN'T SHOW ON LIST PLEASE GIVE ME A GENTLE NUDGE. Thought the Underblanket would have been finished before the Quilt took off.
Is it too late to be added to the list ??
I would like 2. Could you PM me with details of how to pay.Thanks

From what I gather, there are tabs to allow the underblanket to be used with hennesy hammocks. I seem to recall a post by Wayland where he went out and used his underblanket for the first time, and he mentions the tabs were for use on a hennesy.

Hello Ian
I am still waiting for payment details, have sent you a pm with my mail adress.
wanderinstar
15-09-2007, 10:52
Have just sent you a PM . I have sent you the same details as everyone else and their payments have come through. I don't know how you are working it.
Edit, Glad to see you have worked it out.
My apologizes to everyone involved in this group buy (especially Ian, who may have gone through the roof several times because of me), but I didnt know that PP works by transferring money to a given email adress.
Usually, in the past, I got an invoice with an account number at the german branch of JP Morgan and I transferred the money to this account from my bank account. So I waited for details to come, which of course didnt, until today when a friend told me about it and made the transfer from his PP account for me.
Again, I am terribly sorry for holding this up so long.

Well, as promised I have found a retailer to take over the sale of Underblankets and Quilts.
The retailer is http://www.woodlandedge.co.uk/ .They are putting an order into Snugpak so they should have some blankets in stock in the near future. The advantage with Woodland Edge will be that you wont have to wait for a group buy to run its course because they will be in stock.
I hope you will support them as you have done me in the past.
I will have to find something else to do now.

Thanks very much Ian - looking forward to the quilt too.
It's a bit bigger/heavier than I imagined (about the same as a synthetic sleeping bag), but I imagine when I get the quilt/underblanket and weight it next to my pad/bag there wont be much in it and this should be much more comfortable.

Sadly only 10 got sent out on Weds. I had to repack all the blankets because they were put in large stuffsacks instead of medium ones. They would not fit in the Post Office polybags. Have been away for 2 days, so first thing in the morning I will get the rest off. S o r r y for any delay, I was hoping on Weds to beat the impending strike. Hopefully however it may now be off.
Never had any trouble before, I can tell you on Weds night I was definitely glad this was the last one. I have mellowed a bit now.

Just a comical aside. Tim, my youngest has been helping me this morning. He got 5 blankets in the new stuffsacks and the ends tightened up. " Where's the straps for the sides Dad" "They were in the bottom of the sack, didn't you take them out?"
His face was a picture. Eventually he saw the funny side of it.
Well thats it, they have all gone out. In the hands of Post Office
Mine arrived yesterday. I'm going to give it an outing this weekend. Many thanks for sorting all this out, Ian. I just know that my kidneys, back and shoulders will sing your praises from here on in!:lmao:

Well now all the blankets have gone out I would like to remind you all of the Feedback thread,
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15711&highlight=Feedback+underblanke ts
It would be nice to hear what you all think of them. Good or bad.
Because even though I will no longer be selling them myself I would still like to hear your comments, possible improvement's etc
Doing these Group Buys has been very worthwhile and mainly an enjoyable experience. Being able to supply you all with, hopefully, an excellent product at a reasonable price. At some times I thought, God that's expensive. But I then looked at the prices again to see if anything could be pared off. For example with the quilt I thought I could leave the insulation out of the "wings" to reduce costs, but on talking to Snugpak they said it would not be worth the effort, as it was all quilted in one piece.
As before, will you please post when your blanket arrives as it saves me logging onto Post Office site to track deliveries.
Once again, thank you for you custom and enjoy. Happy hammocking.

so it is actually a space saving :D
I would like to thank you for organising the group buy Ian and will post more feedback once
I've spent some time in it.
They are big, aren't they! I reckon it could make a nice duvet by itself!

the postman just arrived with a big parcel . . . for me! What on earth could that be?
Aha!
Fantastic - thanks for organising that Mr Star. If I don't get to test it at the North Wales and Marches Meet at the end of the month I certainly will this coming weekend.
Agree with spamel that it would be ideal as a duvet in milder seasons.
Miine arrived today and I am looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
Thankyou Ian for all your hard work very much appreciated.
Got a card through the door from the postie, I wonder what it can be?:) .

Probably a late Valentine card, what with all the strikes!

Mine's just arrived. Many thanks for doing this, Ian. I'll post some feedback as soon as I can get an opportunity to play, but since I've already used one (at the Bushmoot) I know that I'm getting quality.

Got mine yesterday looks good many thanks.:D :You_Rock_
I got mine today, will use mit sunday night and report back.
Thank you, Ian!!!!
Had a quick play with it today. I went up the local woods with Abi, my two year old, put it up and we climbed in. Instant warmth, it was amazing! You really can feel a difference. I need to fine tune the set up, it isn't quite as simple to put up as I first thought, but it looks like it will become a firm part of my set up. I have kept it fastened to m hammock and chucked the whole thing into the stuff sack, it just fits!
We had a good time, Abi was hooped as she was up all night and fell asleep on the way back whilst sat on my shoulders! Her chin was on the top of my head, and I thought it felt a bit heavy! We had an interesting trip as a woodpecker was knocking away above our head, oblivious to the fact that we were there watching!
Just picked mine up from the post office. Cheers mate:) .

Thank you everybody for acknowledging receipt of your blankets.
However there are still 6 unaccounted for. 2 are on SoTP, but that still leaves 4 on here.

Oh dear Jonathon,
What can I say, except PLEASE read the two posts above yours, If you do you will see that the blankets and quilts are now available from http://www.woodlandedge.co.uk/ who are in Reading.
I am glad I am not one of your patients:)

Hello. Ok. I had read about the blankets being available from Reading before, but feel sure that I also heard that you might be doing one last order. Never mind. As for being one of my patients, I doubt that you could afford me. :-) Thanks forpointing me in the right direction though.

That's a bit presumptive! We do live in brick houses up north you know!
