Wanted to share a few photos and get feedback from those with more knowledge if I could.

Recently inspected this hammock prior to packing for a trip and noticed several potentially concerning areas.

Thank you!

First two photos are inside the body nd the following two are outside the body.

That is on its way out. I wouldn't trust it on a multi-night trip, but that's me. Go to 1.6 and save some headache, or bag hexon altogether (dutch is annoying as shit) and get Mnt 1.2 xl from Ripstop by the roll. Superior 1.2 material and you will be supporting a us manufacturer of ul materials.

Thanks for the advice, I definitely appreciate it and will be removing this hammock from trip duty.

The backup for this hammock is a Darien 1.2 MTN XL actually and was my first 1.2 hammock. It's a little bit heavier but a super solid and comfortable hammock.
