As mentioned in Bushcraft Chatter this is a limited buy for 20 underblankets. Price is £59.60 which is all inclusive of PP charges and delivery.Once the 20 are gone that is it. But you will be able to get them from Lakelandbushcraft and DD Hammocks, once they get their stocks in. Sorry it has been so late in the day. But............
Any questions please ask.

Just as a thought Ian, what embroidery will these have on them? Are they branded Snugpak only or do they carry yje BcUK logo as the old ones you did? Just a thought for those who are ordering! Good luck with the group buy.

Ian will this fit the henessy ?
I don`t see why not, I`m sure I`ve heard a few folk on here who have used both together.
You just have to figure out a way to pull it to one side while you climb in then it should drop back into place. Not tried it myself but I will be soon :approve:
Rich
I'm pretty sure it does fit Hennessys. There are loops on the top edge, two in the middle and one on each end which I am sure where discussed way back on one of the initial GB's. The loops are used to secure it underneath, the bungee lines will allow it to ping back into position once you climb in.
wanderinstar
08-09-2008, 06:06
As Spam says. Yes they do fit the Hennessey. There is a loop on either side for the guy lines on the Hennessey. As regards getting in Spam has it again,do you want a job:) The whole blanket is supported on eight shock cords so you just pull it to one side and climb in. It then just snaps back.
One for a friend of me please:

Number 2 then Gunnix. Must be another satisfied customer.:)
Yes well, perhaps I haven't even given any feedback to you! But I'm very pleased with the underblanket and my brother who got one is as well. Now a good friend wants one too :)
I've used the underblanket for around 30 nights in 2008 and a lot more before that and I still am amazed by the luxuory. By the way, it's wide enough to insulate two people next to each other, ideal for me and my partner :)

Even better :D Yep Middlewood is fine for me too, saves on postage and reduces my carbon footprint by a couple o grams LOL:lmao: :lmao:
Are you taking delivery of these first Ian then sending them out yourself ?
I can probably blag a trip over to our Heywood depot and call over to you, save you a bit on postage I thought.

21-10-2008, 05:44
Good news, at last. I picked them up yesterday. Am just waiting for some of the delivery bags now from PO. Should start sending them out later in the week. Yes Richard , you can pick it up if you want. Could be tricky arranging meet though. But when are you thinking? PM me.
Best news Ive heard in days Ian,
A couple of mates of mine are coming up to Cambs on Friday for a weekend out and about - no wives dogs or sprogs - ahhhhhh... So if the underblanket arrives by Friday then its a bonus, if however there is a delay then I will just have to "slum it" with the rest of the Surrey Posse..... I may just have to pack a little more Port, to take the edge off of a couple of nights spent on the deck you understand.!!!!:D

Sorry Shewie, you may not be. I put 12 of the blankets in the Special Delivery bags that I had from last time and the cost has increased by a fair ammount. There is another type of delivery service that I can use, but they won't accept the Special Delivery bags. So I have had to bring them home and try and find some different bags to put them in. Hopefully will get some sent off tomorrow.

Looks the bee knees out of the bag.
Just need to read Reds thread again then I`m off for a play in the cellar :D
Right that`s that sorted !
What a great bit of kit, I can`t believe I`ve survived so long without one.
It`s pretty cold in my cellar especially down near the stone floor. Usually when I`m messing about setting hammocks up I can feel the cold come through straight away, Not any more, I might even sleep down here tonight.
