dd hammocks

[sandbag47]

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anybody was interested in getting doing a group buy from dd hammocks. You can get any hammok or other item that you want to i.e tarp or webbing/rope.
If not many want to go for this group buy,then it won't be worth it as the postage would push the price back up again. But if there is some interest then i hopfully should get some sort of resonerbly deal of them.
I just need to know what the interest is first.
I did a thread in kit chatter asking about them and got a lot of replys from people who have them already and most of them were very positive.
And if you want to look at the site it's at :-

www.ddhammocks.com

let me know if there is any interst.

I've not long since bought 2 of the travel hammock + tarp packages for the kids! :11doh:

[Beer Monster]

I'd be interested in the travel hammock .......

[Ahjno]

I'd be interested in the travel hammock .......

I'd be interested in a DD-hammock (the one with mozzy netting that is, can't remember if that's the DD-travel one) aswell :D - as long it's the 2007 edition (longer).

:naughty:

:naughty:

Its the "2008 edition" now :) - longer, finer mesh on the mozzie net, bungee cord to hold the net to the ridge line and a double zip on the mossie net. Have a look at their website.

Nice!! I want one (and it isn't even a shiny thing!):present:
Cheers for the heads-up BM!

[andy_e]

2008 Travel for me thanks.

Edit: ... and a 3x3 tarp too as I see they have them back in :D

[sandbag47]

six of use so far ...fantastic:).......the man i'm supposed to talk to returns next week so i'll let you know what is going on then...and hopefully we will have some more people after a hammock or two then as well.

[mrstorey]

I'd be interested in one too, probably the DD Camping Hammock.

Cheers so much for this.

Michael.

[sandbag47]

oops i must learn to count :) five is still fantastic

Camping Hammock I would be interested in :)

Thanks

[sandbag47]

now we have six people.....yippy :)

[sandbag47]

Ok guys i've heard back form from DD today from a nice man called nick.and the deal so is as follows:-


less than 15 people...

£3 off camping....£4 off travel....£2 off tarps

more than 15 people

£4 off camping....£5 off travel....£3 off tarps

more than 25 people a much bigger deal


all deals include delivery to your door...

but if any of you live close together or are going to meet up at sometime then you could save even more. because of the saving in postage...a travel hammock costs about £5 to post...so it would just be a matter of picking who to get the delivery sent to..not shore about delivery to you ahjno, but we can sort that out easliy.
so we can go for it soon or wait to see if anyone else would like to join in it's up to you guys ...:)
p.s....as for anyone buying more than one item i'll let you know how much more you can save very shortly

[andy_e]

Personally, I think we'd need to wait until we had a few more people but not sure how many more we're likely to get. Might be that this close to the festive season people don't want to spend, though I am still up for it and want to say thanks for organising this.

I'm still interested in a 2008 Travel and a 3x3 tarp, £6 off is still 2 - 3 pints saved ;)

[sandbag47]

no andy...it's not £6....it's £8 for you..£2 for double posting..:);)

[andy_e]

Wayhey! 3 - 4 pints then :D

I'd say we wait a little longer. As hours / days go by and more people read your post with discount - they might jump in :D

Cheers for all the work!

[sandbag47]

ahjno PM sent:)

[Beer Monster]

Cheers for all the work!

In retrospect I think this might be wise. Especially as people are always short on cash running up to Christmas ..... buying pressies and all.

However ...... if it does take place before Christmas then still count me in!

[sandbag47]

ok guys i'm happy with waiting....would january or febuary be ok..or is that to long for some of you..let me know:)

[Beer Monster]

Fine by me. I'll need it by the end of March though ........ off to some tropical places :) !

[andy_e]

Yup, sounds ok - though it might be an idea to set a threshold too, say 15 ppl, that way if it's sooner it's sooner as Ahjno said you might get a last minute rush ;)

[Diamond Dave]

Could you add my name, as I would like a couple please..................

[Lodian]

Great just what im needing . Put my down.

[sandbag47]

two more customers...welcome:)
diamond dave,you would like a couple of which one's(i'd like to know as i'm making a list of them).
as beer monster just put down he is going away at the end of march.so i will check to see how long it takes to get them posted to all of us...i would hate it if someone didn't get their hammock when they needed or wanted it.
good idea andy about the threshold....but i think that an end date would be better...like i wrote earlier, the more people the better and if we get lucky we might get more than 25...plus i can keep putting in new threds each day saying how long we have left....like an advent calender marking down to christmas but without the sweeties in each slot:)....also it will keep the thread at the top of the pile of and not lost on pages 2..3..4...ect.ect...
and also it will give a date to get your piggy banks emptyed for and your money sent to me...and on that note if you have sent me money and we suddley go over 15 or 25 i will return any savings that we make...


as everybody else seems to put down.....i have no connection with DD Hammocks apart from this group buy.....and no matter what the press say i haven't given any pennys to labour party for question's in parlment or for the honers list :);)

[Diamond Dave]

2 x Travel Models (2008) please.................

[sandbag47]

5orry lodian camping or travel

[Chainsaw]

Stick me down for a travel hammock 2008, my 2007 version is so last year!
;)

Cheers,

Alan

[andy_e]

Here's a question, the description of the 2008 Travel is that it's double zipped - does anyone know if this means a zip on each side of the hammock or does it mean that it has one zip for entry to the netted section and also a zip for access between the two fabric layers?

[Geuf]

I'm very interested too. Still have to make up my mind though. What exactly is the diffirence between the camping and the travel hammock? just the finer netting in the travel hammock?

cheers!

[andy_e]

Hi Geuf, check the DD Hammocks website in sandbags first post, basically; Camping = No net, Travel = With net. The Travel is more flexible, since you can flip it over and sleep in the net free side if you're camping in area without a midge/mosquito problem.

[Nightwalker]

I've got a DD Hammock and nearly bought some extra webbing, but im not happy with how much it stretches, even after use, so I'll be looking for different webbing now I suppose.

[leon-1]

I'm very interested too. Still have to make up my mind though. What exactly is the diffirence between the camping and the travel hammock? just the finer netting in the travel hammock?

cheers!

The camping hammock doesn't have netting at all mate.

I have been using the camping hammock for a few years now, I bought it back when they cost £15 on the bay of evil, I have been quite impressed with it. It is effectively a thai hammock and I loved my thai hammock to bits.

I agree that you really should hold out until you have at least 15 hammocks to order.

Add me to the list for a travel hammock please.

[sandbag47]

andy.. i believe it is a zip handle on each side of the zip the older hammocks only had the zip handle on the outside..
Geuf..the camping dose not have a netting only the travel has the netting

have a look www.ddhammocks.com

also i did a thread in kit chatter and there is a link to pablo's video that he did on utube

[leon-1]

I've got a DD Hammock and nearly bought some extra webbing, but im not happy with how much it stretches, even after use, so I'll be looking for different webbing now I suppose.

Ash nearly all hammocks that use tape stretch quite a bit, an option to look at is getting static rope (like abseil rope) that has been prestretched, there is still a little give in it, but not very much.

[Pablo]

Here's a question, the description of the 2008 Travel is that it's double zipped - does anyone know if this means a zip on each side of the hammock or does it mean that it has one zip for entry to the netted section and also a zip for access between the two fabric layers?

The zip on the 2008 Travel hammock has two zips that meets in the middle of a single stretch of teeth (hope these are the right terms.) Each zip has two "handles" so that it can be opened on the outsde or inside. There is no closure mechanism between the two insulation layers.

The mossy net is much finer than the previous version and is a darker green. It has a number of loops (front and back) on the outside for different hanging configurations. There are also loops on the inside of the net at the same locations.

Elastic rope is supplied to hang the mossy net to a ridge line or seperate utility line and the set up comes with an additional 10m of new type of tape. This is similar to the old tape but appears more robust and less likely to stretch or fray (I've not tried it out though yet).

All in all it looks a great package.

I plan to test it and do an initial review this weekend and hope to do another video. I'll let you know when I've done it.

No connection with the company etc except that they sent me one as a thanks for doing the other set up vids.

Pablo.

[woodstock]

Whats the best price price they can do for orders over 20 for the Travel Hammock Icl.PP

[andy_e]

Cheers Pablo, that zip setup's an improvement over my 2006 Travel and one of the things I'd hoped they'd do.

[sandbag47]

woostock... it would be £34 delivered..if we can get over 25 then there should be another price drop but i don't know how much it would be...yet.
if it looks like we would get over 25 i will find out how much we can save.......:)
............. or are you asking for 20 hammocks for you?;)

[Ahjno]

ok guys i'm happy with waiting....would january or febuary be ok..or is that to long for some of you..let me know:)

Perfectly happy with that mate!
(I know what I'm going to do this spring :naughty: )

[In Wood]

Hi Guys
I have one of each at the moment but you can put me down for a new 2008 version, the finer mesh will keep out those pesky midgies. my excusse to SWMBO, will be "but darling, I purchased another one so that we can now go as a family and leave the tent behind" :D Oh and "Yes darling you can have the old one as your belated Christams present". Her reply will be ":yikes: :red: :nono: and of coures I will be :sad6: but hey I will still have my new DD to sleep in. Hmm wonder if it will fit in the dog house.

PS. this is the first purchase I have made, please PM me to let me know how I go about paying please.:)

[sandbag47]

in wood pm sent...
and i find most things fit in the dog house:)

[woodstock]

Sandbag it is the 2008 one with the fine mesh if thats the one put me down for 1 I will pm you my postal address

[sandbag47]

no problem woodstock

[Pablo]

I've just posted a video of the DD Travel hammock 2008 version if anyone wants a look around it.

Cheers,

Pablo

[In Wood]

Hi Pablo

Just watched the video, as usuall you covered all aspects, great to have it on as quickly thanks. with regards your comment on no closure system between the two layers, I presume it would be quite easy to sew a couple of bits of vercro in there to fix that issue?
I will have a look at doing this as soon as I receive my new 2008 model.
Thanks again.:)

I think that's what I'm going to do, but you only need to do it if you find your insulation slides out between the layers. My thermarest does probably because I wriggle about at night! :)

Try it out without it first. Your body weight might be enough to stop the thermarest or insulation sliding about.

Cheers,

Pablo.

Hi there Sandbag

Would you put me down for one of their 3x3 tarps please?

Thanks a lot,

DHD

[sandbag47]

ok guys.....good news we have 15 people and 18 items on the list now :)...
so andy it's not £8 saving anymore now it's a tenner.

also nick from dd has been looking at this thread.and would like to make everybody aware that ...i quote:-

regarding webbing stretching - thought I should let you know that from now on all our Travel Hammocks will come with 10m of new, stronger webbing attached (same as the new webbing Pablo shows in his video - although he used it for a ridge line as it was not already attached to his hammock. Something we only decided to do very recently).


ok guys:)

[In Wood]

Try it out without it first. Your body weight might be enough to stop the thermarest or insulation sliding about.

Hi Pablo

You obviously know me quoting Body weight, I am a bit large, dont tell everyone though.:o
6'5" & 17stn. Anyone want tarp ropes pre stretching? Let me know.:D

[Chainsaw]

Nice vid pablo, looking forward to getting my 2008! Couple things I noticed, I sleep with my head the other way, why is that? I must be weird! :D Also I tend not to bother with doing the feet end of the netting, I only do the head end, anyone else?

I pimped my old travel hammock by getting some cord locks and shock cord from this guy (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Buckles-and-Webbing-Emporium) not related, just satisfied customer blah blah. My tapes sagged a lot last time I was out and it puts a real stress on the netting but the newer tapes and shock cord should sort this out, n1 DDhammocks for listening to feedback!

Thanks Sandbag for organizing this GB! :You_Rock_

Cheers,

Alan

[nickg]

Put me down for one of these please

Many thanks for organising this :D . Can you jot down in a post the prices as we stand at the moment? Also did we decide on a cut off date?

[andy_e]

Cheers Sandbag, it's looking better and better ;) Now what kit can I spend a tenner on - hmmm

BTW thanks for passing on Nick's thoughts - good to know he's interested in our experiences.

[sandbag47]

i'm just checking if there are any paypal charges (never done this before). there seems to be a recive limit $750 and this is going to go over that .if there are i'll ask some of you good people to send me a cheque.if you have no problem with that..
i'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible as you know,and would hate to get stung with some charge from paypal

well things are going along very quickly know ..and it would seem ashame to hang out this buy in a hope to try to get over 25 so i think the cut of date should be the end of january.if all payments are in everything sorted out you should be getting the hammocks and tarps in early february....mind you at the moment we have 16 people and 19 items on the list so far and at this rate we will have 25 (possibly).
ok guys what do you think:)

[sandbag47]

ok guys i,ve just got my reply from magikelly and there is a fee on every payment so i would like it if you could send me the good old fashioned cheque. i will send my address to each of you in you PM boxes......
let me know what you think

[nickg]

Cheque is fine by me - all keeps the cost down nicely

Cheers
Nick

[Beer Monster]

Indeed. Getting a little excited now - how sad is that :o !

[andy_e]

cheque is just as easy for me, at least it is now that I've dug out and dusted off my cheque book again - it was practically an Indiana Jones adventure finding the thing.

[In Wood]

Cheque is fine by me too.
I will await your PM with address, if you let me know the total cost including P&P i will send the cheques straight away, easier for me if you have the money then I wont spend it.
:)

[Diamond Dave]

No problem with a cheque.................thanks for organising this GB

[Geuf]

well, since I´ve never used cheques and I live in the Netherlands, can I also just banktransfer it?

[sandbag47]

hi guys..unless you want my address now . i am going to give it at the beginning of january. at that time we will have a better idea of the final price for the hammocks along with how much each off you will owe..then you will have have a month to get the cheques to me so i can cash them a get them cleared....:)
the amount are differnt because of what you have ordered or where you may live i.e Rotterdam.
in wood..the total price includes postage.but if you want to send me a cheaque now..that ok..i'll pm you my address..but if the cost goes down then i will return whatever is not needed

@ sandbag47

What is the cost to the door of the travel at this point please?
I've lost track of the discounts available and did you say there would be more discount if you got 25 orders?

Thanks
Bodge

[sandbag47]

hi bodge,
you have lost count,how do you think i feel !!!.
at the moment the travel hammock is £34 .but will be £33 if we get 25 and over on orders.
and thats to your door.
and at this rate we will be over 25 very soon ( i hope:))

[sandbag47]

ok just so we all know the cost at the moment:-

camping.................£20
travel......................£3 4
tarp 2x3..................£21
tarp 3x3..................£25
webbing..................£7 (don't know if this will drop again but can check)

if you order 2 or more items you will save more money as it will come off the cost of
postage

when we get 25 orders another £1 will come off the cost aswell (have to check about the webbing)

if anyone wants to look at the items the site is www.ddhammocks.com

[sandbag47]

ok i made a mistake the eyelets are not new but have been strengthened

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/ahjno/DD2.jpg[/QUOTE]

[sandbag47]

Webbing for single (10m) orders will have to stay at £7 but if somebody wants more than 10m dd hammocks will reduce the price - £12 for 20m, £28 for 50m (please note that it comes in 10m sections so an order of 50m comes as 5x 10m).

[basha]

I give in............may I help you get to your '25' and ask to be included in this group buy?

Hi folks,

Beer Monster posed a question whether the DDhammock could be used for ground dwelling.

I had a go today using just a couple of poles (these could be hiking poles) some tent pegs and some twine.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c269/prmaklpboo/DSC00137.jpg

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c269/prmaklpboo/DSC00136.jpg

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c269/prmaklpboo/DSC00141.jpg

Quite a stable set up but with the use of more twine or cord on the outer loops, it could be even more stable. Just sling a small tarp over it and you're done.

Pablo.

[andy_e]

Cheers for the pics Pablo, my only concern would be that you'd have to choose your site carefully or use a groundsheet as the nylon isn't waterproof. I suppose if you used a big enough sleep mat under the hammock you'd be fine too.

[Nightwalker]

Nifty trick :)

[Mr_Rimps]

Hi sandbag47

I would like to order the following

1 x 2008 travel hammock

Andy you make a good point ..... I hadn't thought of that. A poncho underneath should solve it though.

Often thought about one of these ...

... don't know how good or durable they are, but I notice they mention in the description about using it as a tent on dry surfaces.

[Mirius]

I'd be more concerned about puncture/ damage from use on the ground, but a suitable liner of some sort under it would sort that. Something to consider if you can't be sure of finding somewhere suitable to be able to set the hammock up I suppose, which is a good thing to bear in mind.

[myheadsashed]

Cool
Put me down for a travel hammock. Christmas present to myself :)

[Pablo]

Cheers Pablo :You_Rock_ . Good photos, and I think it'll be ideal system for my plans.

Andy you make a good point ..... I hadn't thought of that. A poncho underneath should solve it though.

For certain you would need something (poncho would be ideal) underneath the hammock in anything other than a dry weather spell, but a thermarest between the layers (as in tree dwelling) would at least keep you (if not the bottom of the hammock) dry. No problem for arid climates though.

Regarding puncture, the material is probably more robust than you think. As with pitching a tent, you would ensure the ground is clear of stones and twigs.

Pablo.

ok guys i'm going to start sending my details out to every one in a day or so.
so far we have 29 orders(thats very good).the next price drop would come into effect at 45 and i don't think we will reach that amount and i'm not going to and push it to see if we can.
so the sooner i have all the money in the sooner we can all be happily swinging from a couple of trees in our nice new hammocks.
of course i'm keeping the group open till the beginning of january incase anyone else wants to join.
thank you all for joining this group and thanks pablo for your vid's and stuff ,i'm sure it helped with this little groupie
ok guys any questions please ask and have a merry christmas and a drunken new year:);)

Yep I hope they are stocking up! Thats gona be a lot of doh :rolleyes: I think I might have a friend interested, might be a couple more items from me in the near future. Superb discount by the way! Im sure a few more will come rolling in before the end too! :)

[sandbag47]

dd have been watching this thread. and have told me that if we do get to 45 we can have another pound off everything exept the webbing.but that would be as much as they can offer because they are doing all the posting of all the items......which is a far one !!!!
i'm still getting over how many we have so far i never thought it would get this many:)

[sandbag47]

ok just worked this out.so we have ordered

23 travel hammocks=£759
3 camping hammocks=£57

[Chainsaw]

kerching at DD hammocks! That'll be you on their chrissie card list ;) Thanks again for organizing this sandbag.

Just a Q from me, I'm interested in why some are buying the camping hammocks rather than the travel hammock? It's in no way a criticism, I was just interested in the reasons.

Cheers,

Alan

[andy_e]

Perhaps, unlike us in Scotland, they've never experienced the sky-blackening plagues of midgies - it's truely biblical up here sometimes ;)

Or maybe they just like the extra protein boost from eating spiders in their sleep :lmao:

[Beer Monster]

Cheers,

...... I live in Scotland ..... lots of midgies. Plus I intend to use it overseas in mozzie areas.

Pablo also found that the net cut down a bit on draughts at this time of year making for a marginally warmer nights sleep.

[andy_e]

I've also noticed that I get fewer draughts when I use it with the net up, I thought it might be because the net holds the sides of the hammock a bit higher so you get more shelter.

[In Wood]

As the old saying goes.;)

Sandbag, just wanted to let you know my cheques is winging its way to you now.
As others have said a really big thanks from me for all your work on this one, turned into a massive group buy, well done.:You_Rock_
lookin forward to recieving it, hopefuly in time for the last weekend in January, I always go up to the Lakes camping, I will try it out then.
Thanks again.

[Nightwalker]

Just a Q from me, I'm interested in why some are buying the camping hammocks rather than the travel hammock? It's in no way a criticism, I was just interested in the reasons.I already have a DD Camping Hammock. And Im putting down for a new travel hammock under the excuse that the Mrs can use it when we camp, she needs one ;) But it sounds like it might be a nice little something for me in the Winter times.

I already have a camping hammock, the travel hammock wasn't available when I bought it.

Both will get used, but the travel hammock was quite well explained by Andy_e, not neccesarily for use in Scotland but abroad where you are more likely to get eaten by things that bite in the night, day, morning, evening and aren't overly picky about who or where they bite.

and 14 days left to get any orders in

[woodstock]

What price are the tarps sandbags at present

[woodstock]

Camping Hammock I would be interested in :)

Thanks

For the extra few quid I would go for the travel if I were you you'll only upgrade in about 6 months time believe me

[sandbag47]

woodstock...

2x3 tarp is £20
3x3 tarp is £24

but as you are buying an item already you would save an extra £2 off the price of both items....the saving is in the cost of the postage

[Pablo]

For the extra few quid I would go for the travel if I were you you'll only upgrade in about 6 months time believe me

Don't forget you can turn the Travel hammock upside down and voila! you have a camping hammock (with netting for storage underneath).

ok guys looks like 1or 2 of you are going to pay by paypal .give me a day or so to work out how much it's going to cost (i haven't got a clue )...
nightwalker is being my ginnypig and is sending a payment by paypal if it comes up short then i have only one person to sort it out with..ok guys

o'yes we have 36 items in the group buy now.....welcome soggy boots

[Nightwalker]

As far as im aware, if your sending money from one personal paypal account to another there is no fee or percentage deducted. There's a small fee to extract less than £50 from your paypal account to your bank, but you will have over that amount and I therefore believe will not incur any fees. I'll send £55 to you now.

[sandbag47]

sorry nightwalker there was a fee added £2.07...pm sent

[sandbag47]

#;@#*%$£&*^!!!!!! paypal :( need i say more

[sandbag47]

ok guys,for anyone paying by paypal , i've sort of worked it out and rounded it up to the nearest 10 (just to make sure).

£33 add on £1.40=£34.40

£55 add on £2.20=£57.20

i know it's not correct but it's a only a couple of pence off the correct amount (i think)....
cheques are alot easier than paypal and cheaper .and less of a headache

[woodstock]

Thanks for your time and effort you have put in Stephen it has been much appreciated by myself and i'm sure the others as well, cheque is in the post buddy and many thanks
Peace and Goodwill

[sandbag47]

thank you :):):)

[BobFromHolland]

I want to increase my order if that is possible.

I would like to add:
2 x 3x3 tarp and

so in total: two of both tarp and travel hammock.

Thanks a lot and have a nice Christmas everybody!

dandaman 24 PM sent

[sandbag47]

ok guys it's now the 2nd and time to raid your piggy banks if you haven't already...as i get cheques/payments i will show them on this page (as you can already see above)
i know the post has been slow as some of you have already told me.
so as soon as the money is in i'll send the orders to ddhammocks...if you haven't sent me the money by the end of january ,i'll have to take you off the list...unless you let me know in advance of any problems as one of you has already.
ok guys ....
happy new year all

I would like to thank Sandbag47 for all your hard work in pulling this group buy together. As I am in the middle of doing a group buy myself I can understand how difficult it can be. Thanks for your efforts matey.

[sandbag47]

thank you :)

[Richie O]

Yep, I have to agree with littlebiglane :You_Rock_
Thanks for taking the time and effort to organize this group buy...
Although, i'm still not sure i needed another hammock :rolleyes:

[mick miller]

Hi Sandbag and hello to all on the forum (what a wonderfully useful resource this is!). I'm new to the forum although I've been 'guesting' the pages for quite some time reading the hammock threads. I've managed to narrow it down to 2 possibles.

The Jungle hammock (Tom Claytor's) and the DD Travel Hammock. What puts me off the Jungle hammock is that there appears to be no way to use it without having to set the mozi-mesh up as well. For lazy summer days in the garden I'm happy to just dispense with the mesh alltogether (and you mentioned you can simply flip the DD round I don't think the Junglist allows this at all?).

My only reservation is my size and weight - 6ft 1" and 15 st - If the DD is ok for that (and I kinda trust the recommendations on here) I'd like to ask if I could be added to the list for a DD Travel Hammock and a 3x3m Tarp (the monies here waiting to go - I can pay direct into your account via online thingy, send a cheque, pay you through PayPal, whatever you need.)

All the best and hello to all - Mick

[Chainsaw]

Mick,

I'm just over 6ft and probably kicking about 14st after all the christmas gorging :( I have a DD travel 2006 and it fits me great. The DD hammock and tarp are not lightweight items so I think you should be fine.

Welcome aboard BTW,

Cheers,

Alan

[mick miller]

Thanks Chainsaw, just hope Sandbag can still get me added.

**EDIT - Damn, just read the closing date was the 2nd of Jan...humbug! N'er mind.

Nice video Pablo!

[myheadsashed]

Oh I wish I was 15st ;)

[sandbag47]

mick miller your in luck as i'm still collecting money it not a problem..need you pm me your address..i will pm my paypal and address to you it's up to you how you pay..but make it soon please...and papal will cost you £57.20..cheque is £55.
ok :)

[sandbag47]

ok guys i'm stopping people joining as from now!!!!! because i have recieved so many of your payments that it would be a real pain getting your £1 and £2's back to all of you good folk if we went over 45 items...ok guys

[myheadsashed]

My quid would be donated to the sandbag47 beer fund anyway for all the hardwork, hell and I'm a yorkshireman !

[mick miller]

Not at all (said he smugly as he managed to shoehorn himself in at the last minute).

Fill your boots, as they say!

[soggy boots]

Same here!!

[Celt_Ginger]

Me too. I'd be happy to add to the Sandbag beer fund if we go over 45 items.

I was being slightly less altruistic in my reply 'not at all fill your boots'. I meant by all means call a halt to the list, otherwise it may never end!

Looking forward to lazing in the mid-winter murk, just ordered an alpkit self inflating mat in readiness for a cold nights slumber under the stars (or more likely drizzly clouds either way it'll be good).

the list as it stands..and yes i was begining to think this list would not end...
and the end amount of money this list will cost is £1212

[andy_e]

£1212 - wow! That's one hell of a group buy - DD must be well pleased. Well done once again Sandbag.

[sandbag47]

so far i have in cash/cheques is £1094...nearly there:)

[mick miller]

The Alpkit Slim Airic arrived today, looks like it's going to work well for the winter.Very compact and I'm suprised how light it is.

Only £118 to go...

[Beer Monster]

so far i have in cash/cheques is £1094...nearly there:)

I'm getting very excited ...... a little bit worrying really seeing as it's only a hammock ...... and I'm a adult :o :lmao: !


Me too. I'd be happy to add to the Sandbag beer fund if we go over 45 items.

Indeed. Any saving on my hammock can go to the Sandbag beer fund. A bit of a faff sending cheques for a quid or so!

[Nightwalker]

oooo its going to be like Christmas all over again! :red:
:p

[woodstock]

I've never looked forward to the midge season even in a tent you get bit to hell,, but this year I say midge bring it on :D

[sandbag47]

i feel all exited aswell.........my wife is cashing the checks on thursday for me.so by end of next week i should be ordering the hammocks....mind you there is still one or two to arrive yet....two of them are from my TA buddys,but i can cover them.
if i had know you did'nt want your £1 and £2 back i would have carried on till all money is was in ..the sandbag beer fund would have given me a beer or two.but some would have had to go to some charity.the faff off sending the extra money back would not have been fun atall !!!!

[andy_e]

Fantastic, and I would have happily supported the Sandbag beer-fund but understand need to close this off sometime

Woodstock: you're either a very brave or foolish man. I'd get practising your Quick Entry Technique if you expect to avoid the rising hordes. :lmao:

[woodstock]

Woodstock: you're either a very brave or foolish man. I'd get practising your Quick Entry Technique if you expect to avoid the rising hordes. :lmao:

Bit of both but I have tried every technique and repellents to no avail still get bit, in and around Tabrax, Auchengray there is no escape from the little bleeders

[mick miller]

These dreaded midges, anyone seen one up close? The lakes round here have a resident summer midge that I can only describe as resembling a tiny oblong, with black then cream or white alternate segments. The mozi net I use usually does the trick, but step outside and they're straight on you.

Tiny little blighters, and it feels like a pin prick when they take a bite, also for some reason the resulting bite is extremely itchy for over a week afterwards, the british mozi bites don't bother me anywhere near as bad as these do.

Again, repellents like Jungle Formula have no effect.


...It's Thursday, it's chequeing day....WOOOHOOO! Not excited in the slightest, not a bit of it!

:You_Rock_

[Nightwalker]

Yet again the generosity and kindness within this community is a great pleasure to see. Your all wonderful people. Feel free to keep my change also sandbag.
To all, Thank you... http://acnetwork.co.uk/forums/BCUK/clap.gif

[andy_e]

Fully support your wish to give any excess cash to the charity of your choice. I'm already happy with the saving I've made. So, good for you Sandbag and well done for it all once again.

[soggy boots]

Sending any excess of mine to your favourite charity is OK by me!!!
Well done sandbag!!!

[BobFromHolland]

You are free to do whatever you like with my additional discount.

Don't forget to treat yourself to at least one very special beer or whatever you fancy! You've put in a lot of work.

I would feel great to visualise you sitting in your newly received hammock sipping on a cold one!;) I might even be doing exactly the same thing:naughty:

Cheers!

:You_Rock_

[nickg]

Charity is fine by me m8

Cheers
Nick

[mick miller]

I'm fine with the nominated charity Sandbag, thanks for putting this together and your hard work also...

Went to check out some possible spots today ready to put it through its paces.

[Diamond Dave]

Charity Donation sounds good to mee..........................

[Mirius]

Me too, go for it!

[woodstock]

I think you deserve at the very least a couple of beers on us for putting this together then do whatever you want to with the rest thats my opinoin you've done a grand job and saved us all a few quid anything else in mind what about under blankets

[jimmyh]

A special thanks to sandbag from me for allowing me to join late. You've definetley earned a drink for all the work involved, go for it with the charity thing.
I am just about to order the underblanket....but if anyone else is, maybe..........

I would be up for one in a group buy anyone else

[Mirius]

An underblanket group buy? Yes I'd be interested in that. From what I've read it's an must have bit of kit.

[soggy boots]

I may be interested but I'm not sure how the Snugpak underblanket would marry up to the midge net on the DD Travel Hammock.:dunno:

[andy_e]

I may be interested but I'm not sure how the Snugpak underblanket would marry up to the midge net on the DD Travel Hammock.:dunno:

Hi SoggyBoots, don't know if you recall my setup from Middlewood but I was using my DD Travel and Woodland Edge/BCUK underblanket there.

What I tend to do is run a seperate line below my tarp ridgeline that I attach (with a couple of alpine butterfly knots) both the hammocks midge net and the outer shockcords of the underblanket to. It's also handy to hang other stuff to, e.g. my firefly bottle light or my uco lantern.

Edit: you can just about make it out here ...

:Wow:

Andy - how many sherpas did it take to trek that lot in? ;)

[andy_e]

LOL! Wayland and Matt kindly pointed me in the direction of a trolley on the site, it's basically just my bergen and a kit bag that I carried everything on site with and then a bag of firewood for my own cooking and the communal fire.

Though to be honest I did suffer from a bit of shiney-kit-itis when packing for that weekend :lmao:

[cliffc]

hi sandbag47

congrats on all that work no change required have a beer and send any left to childline

thanks again cliff

[sandbag47]

thanks guys...i'll allow myself a fiver for beer and the rest to charity.

current total is £1302

[mick miller]

WOW! £1302!

That is really amazing, I cannot blame you for not wanting to organise an underquilt group buy, putting this lot together must have been a logistical nightmare.

Not much more to go now, enjoy that well deserved beer!

[soggy boots]

Hi Andy
Thanks for your input!!
I saw your setup at Middlewood. It looked very organised and workable!
What I didn't see or recognise was your DD Travel Hammock, with midge net raised and, your under blanket in sleep mode.
The combination looks good and, in that case I am definitely interested in buying an underblanket.:o

[andy_e]

LOL! Not that organised Soggyboots, I did forget to bring sugar for my morning brew up - am in your debt for that :D

[sandbag47]

hey andy
could i use a ponco liner in between the hammock..would that do the same..i have my big lovely army dos-bag to sleep under so i don't need an over blanket


boy will i be happy in a week or so......i can empty my pm box ..it's already filled up once:)

could i use a ponco liner in between the hammock..would that do the same..i have my big lovely army dos-bag to sleep under so i don't need an over blanket


boy will i be happy in a week or so......i can empty my pm box ..it's already filled up once:)

I think whatever you use between the layers will be compressed and lose much of it's insulation, rollmats and thermarests excepted. Though, I have used my wool bushshirt and found that was quite warm. There have been a number of threads discussing hammock insulation/underblanket use and the consensus seems to be that it's the best solution, but not the only one. The only way to know is to give it a go and tell us how you get on, though I think you'll get better mileage from trying to attach the liner outside the hammock in the style of an underblanket.

Sandbag is the order being put in this week? :D

[mick miller]

I emailed Woodland Edge on the subject of hammock underquilts, to find out if theres any discount offered for a bulk purchase. It's £70 otherwise and that's just too much for me.

I'd be keen to find out if the poncho liner thing works out, it'd be considerably cheaper. I found a link somewhere to an american guy who'd done just that, he recommended a particular type of liner although I can't remember the details...I'll have a look.

Found it, here it is Sandbag...

[BobFromHolland]

Why are you all so enthousiastic about those hammocks being shipped?

I'm affraid of getting sea-sick in the hammock when I test it out in these winds..:eek:

Better look for big trees, otherwise with the tarp over it it'll be something like kite-camping.

How 'bout a group buy for nice weather:rolleyes:

[Prophecy]

Does anyone know if the tarp could be used as a footprint for a tent? (Specifically the 3x3 and a Golite Hex 3)

Is it thick enough?

[Nightwalker]

payment is sent to dd hammocks and the hammocks will be sent out tommorow or the day after.most of us should get them by the end of the week.Great! In time for my Birthday! :beerchug:
Thanks again.

[sandbag47]

ok guys got some bad news..i've sent the money from my bank it hasn't arrived at dd's bank .nick from dd has rang his bank and they told me it could take between 2 and 5 days.it's because they are two differnt banks nicks is RBS and mine is TSB
so nick gives his apologies for this.
sorry to say guys we will have to wait till next week for the hammocks and tarps:(

[myheadsashed]

The bank just wants a few more days interest off you - the barstewards :cussing:

Damn, I just sold the house!

[leon-1]

Yep, you are pretty much right, anywhere else in Europe it probably would have cleared after 2 hours, but there isn't much we can do about it.

[UKHaiku]

Yeah, I've had that problem before, but thought it was just personal account to personal account... Must admit I assumed you'd paid via switch/maestro...

Well, I guess another week won't hurt - time for the weather to improve a little more.. :umbrella:

I'd guess you could in an emergency, but I wouldn't recommend it - because they're lighter tarps they won't be as robust as one of those DPM bashas, so you might find them getting a bit holey...

Ok, thanks for that. And it's in a pine forest, so I guess it's a double no. :D

On a different note I expressed a cheque for over £10,000 in the RBS bank cost me £25 took 11 days, and they lost the bloody cheque 11 days later I got a payment to my account for £10 needless to say I got it back but what a carry on, the moral of the story stay clear of RBS
