I’ve been on a never-ending quest to find the ultimate quilt. The journey has been like trying to tame a wild unicorn – elusive and full of surprises. Frustrated by the lackluster options out there, I decided to take matters into my own hands and summon the power of a bespoke down hammock camping quilt. It’s like having a slice of heaven wrapped around me, providing warmth and comfort that makes even the Sandman jealous. So long restless nights, hello to the magical realm of slumber!
I wanted something that I could use in a hammock and also it needed to be suitable for ground camping as well.
I came across Ginge through Instagram and also id seen a video from Simon a bloke in the woods on youtube where he had had a quilt made for him by Ginge.
After a couple of messages on Instagram and a phone call what I was after was in the process of being made.
What did I want to be made?
I was after a 3 season down quilt that would be under 1kg in weight. The great thing about down is its size when packed, weight and of course the warmth.
Sure, here’s a humorous spin on the previous response:
Well, imagine my excitement when I requested snaps on the foot box, thinking I could use it as a sleeping bag while ground camping. But alas, it seems that the size of this hammock quilt is playing a hilarious trick on me—it’s just not wide enough to snap together and transform into a proper sleeping bag. Guess I’ll have to stick to hammock adventures for now and let the ground sleepers have all the snuggly fun!
As I mention in the video we all have loads of kit (one sleeping bag for this, under quilts, hammock quilts) but this quilt I can use for ground camping and hammock camping (when the lockdown ceases). Here is a post concerning my hammock camping kit
Ginge is actually based in Cornwall and he ships all over the U.K. and even further, if you need it. He makes all sorts of cool stuff like snake skins, gear slings, storage cubes, and basically anything custom you can think of, just like this awesome down hammock camping quilt. So yeah, he’s got you covered!
The great thing about this quilt is the fact it is made for me and will be used for ore than just one type of camping.
Currently Ginge doesn’t have a website so he is only contactable through instagram or by phone +447552998890
Please feel free to contact him if you fancy a bespoke down hammock camping quilt or something else made for you.
I also had Ginge make me a cover for the quilt that I can use when fishing as I sleep with my boots on waiting for that alarm to scream! So with the cover I don’t have to worry about the quilt getting really dirty. I can just take off the cover and wash it.
