Thread: Group Buy: Anything off the Hennessey Hammock website

  1. #1

    Default Group Buy: Anything off the Hennessey Hammock website

    Well when I did the Hex Fly group buy everything went well apart from the fact I sold one too many of the spares, which means I need to order one for myself again! I was thinking of getting an undercover anyway, so its an excuse to spend more money.

    So if anyone wants anything at all off the Hennessey Hammock website add your name to a cumulative list (that means copy the list of names before you, add yours to it and what you want and then past it into this thread).

    Then PM me with your address and a confirmation of what you want.
    If you want to pay by cheque then let me know and I'll send you my address, don't forget to include your board name with the cheque.
    If you want to pay by Paypal my e-mail is lottie.lou@gmail.com there is a fee of 3.6% of the total amount + 20p. I hope that's not complicating things? I'd rather do it that way then factor it into the price because it saves the cheque payers money. Again don't forget to include your board name with your payment.

    All prices include postage, I can't do discount if you buy more then one thing as I've had a look on the Royal Mail website and it works out pretty much the same. If you know of a cheaper delivery service then RM I'm more then happy to go with that and sort the price accordingly.

    The website is >>here<< with all the info and photos of the products

    Your list does not mention tree huggers. I would be interested in the 96" @2" wide style for an Expedition Assym if possible? Pretty please!

    I've no idea Gorrilla as I've never seen a MK hammock. Tree huggers are just webbing with a loop at the end where the webbing is folded over, so they're pretty versatile.

    Gorilla,
    Tree huggers are only a strip of webbing that the line goes through. It:
    1) protects the tree as it spreads the weight of the hammock and
    2) enables a slightly larger gap to be used between trees as the hammock string doesn't need to go around the tree - it's just tied infront and the huggers go around the tree

    So in answer to your question - yes they are compatible.

    thanks Mark - i've seen other tree-huggers online, but wasn't sure if these were 'hennessey-specific'
    thanks for the clarification
    best way to attach them to the hammock?

    I attach mine with a pair of carabiners at each end with a garda knot ( http://www.chockstone.org/TechTips/GardaHitch.htm ) to tighten.

    Hennessey have been having problems attaching the invoice to the e-mail for some reason (I think its vista based) plus they've been really slow at getting back to me which is unlike them. That combined with me being away all weekend means the order has only gone through today Im afraid. They're usually pretty quick with delivery but I'll keep you posted.

    Well they're all wrapped up ready to go, some have been posted but as I don't have a car till tomorrow I've only managed to drag a few to the post office (3 miles away). I've PMed the ones who's have been posted and I'll PM those whos orders are delayed (snake skins 4 and now the webbing straps Im afraid). Even though I was told they had everything in stock I've had to order them from Canada as they ran out of them in London. Saying that they should be here soon and may even be waiting for me at home.

    Sorry about all the delays, they were a lot quicker last time

    Default Hennessey undercover

    Hi Lottie,
    Parcel arrived this morning safe and sound. Many thanks for all your work. If it wasn't for you and others on this forum we would not have the opportunity to buy equipment at advantageous prices.

    Thanks again
