I've been told these have arrived with the wholesaler yesterday and will be dispatched to me today.
might we get them for the bushmoot?
Are you coming to the moot John? If you are, I owe you a beer (or six) for the various group buys you have generously organised.

I would say there is a good strong chance. As long as you pay quickly enough when I get them.
I am afraid I am not going to the bushmoot so you will need to keep the bear on ice ;)

If there's room for another I'd like 2 of these as well please.
My fellow scout leaders saw my set up and both want one just like it!

If you have a final price, I'm happy to pay now, just let me know.
Don't know about iceing bears, they tend to just hibernate ;)

Just been looking through this thread as I need a net, but kept getting to a post saying all gone. :( But there is another group buy. :) But they have all gone as well :( But there is another group buy. :)
Please put me down for one of the next batch thanks.
The emotional roller coaster is a bit much on this hot afternoon. :)

No spares yet but we will see if anyone pulls out.
If I am doing another buy I will start a new thread for it as this one is getting a bit unwieldy.

I have now compared the latest batch of insect nets to the first ones. The size if the same but the netting itself is a more robust material. Hole size is the same or slightly smaller. There is not any noticeable difference in weight when out the bag but the new bag is much more robust and heavy. Might put the postage up a notch but I can live with that.
Off to start addressing envelopes now.

MikeL117 has pulled out so there are two available.
On checking it looks like Spikey DaPikey and Monkey have the first refusal

John, is there anyone else on a 'reserve list'?
If those guys don't want the 2 spares, I would really like to get involved.

After the two listed there are Buckshot, Neanderthall and then Morch. I would guess your best chance will be to keep watching for the next buy but you never know.
MagiKelly
27-07-2006, 22:59
Just noticed that MikeL117 managed to get on the list twice so his cancelling frees up 4 nets So that means that Buckshot and Neanderthal have the option as well now.

28-07-2006, 16:09
Will keep my eyes peeled!!!
MagiKelly
30-07-2006, 22:55
Monkey has managed to get sorted with another option so that means that Morch has the option of one now.
Anyone else not interested and you will be next Dommyracer
Great, PP sent mate. Thanx very much

#2 arrived this mornin, cheers John
My MagiKelly insect netting arrived in time for the moot, so it got it's first tryout there. Not sure there were that many bugs to defend against, but maybe they were all attempting secret night raids whilst I was asleep :)
I had a chance to campare it with the Eco sleep system - wow, pretty much identical in quality, a tad longer and all in all a great deal.
Thanks again John.

Does anyone else think it would be feasible to add velcro or a zip to the skirt, to aid use on the ground under a tarp?

had thought about doing the same thing, but you would need to match up the strips with whatever you were tucking it under, so prolly best left as a home modification IMO. I think self adhesive velcro is pretty readily available and should stick pretty well to the underside of a carrymat or thermarest etc. All you would need is a few bits at strategic points just to hold the skirt under and keep it all in place. Your body weight should do the rest.

Why not just use the press studs that are already there ?

Actually I've used them and still had some insects invading my space. I was thinking of getting a zip put in, but velcro is the better option. That way if you need to get out in the middle of the night for a pee you can still do it in the dark!

Hi, I have 2 from the last group buy... Does anyone know if there's going to be another group buy? I think they're fantastic!

Please do another one.
Myself and Jon Pickett spent the weekend in my woods and I have been eaten alive.
MUST HAVE MOSQUITO NET :D
MagiKelly
04-09-2006, 11:11
I am sure there will be another one. I am actually waiting for the insect netting supplier to get back to me with some samples of a hammock that they do. Actually they do two hammocks. One with an integral insect net and one open like the current ones. Once I have these I suspect I will run another insect net and hammock group buy.
While we are bumping this thread I still have one net from the last batch to be paid for. At least I think so, it is possible I might have got my records mixed up. I'll send a PM to remind them.

Gazz_ Miggy has not paid or replied to the PM so I guess he does not want his now. So due to that and having ordered a spare or two for myself there are now 2 available. From what I can tell Glen and quadmad next in line.
So Glen & Quadmad let me know if you are still interested.

Summer is coming - and I've missed hammock & net & tarp group buys. I'm interested in all three when you're ready.

The hammock one has just finished and I have no tarp plans right now but that can change anytime :rolleyes:
I'll ask a mod to lock this thread to stop any more confusion.
