    how to repair a hole..?

    Something must have slipped in the night...and I woke up barely in contact with the gravel bar on the side of the Buffalo River....with a new very small hole in the bottom of the hammock!
    How "rip stop" is the nylon?
    What is the best way to reinforce or patch the area?
    While I hope no one else had done this to their hammock....I do hope someone has knowledge of what to to about it!

    Thank you!

    My knife is so sharp it cut the sixth finger off my right hand! On the plus side, Inigo Montoya no longer hunts me.

    I just saw the same thing at WallyWorld for $6 in the camping section, and you don't have to pay for shipping.

    Was it the same thing, "Tear Aid by Travel Hammock"? If so, I'll be stopping at the next wal-mart!
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Maybe, but probably not exactly "Tear Aid by Travel Hammock". It it was a waterproof, flexible patching kit for tarps, etc.. that caught my eye. I believe it was either 6" x 18" or 8" x 16" flexible patch material. I'll stop there this weekend, and either buy a kit or take a pic inside wallyworld.

    I like the idea of a strong, flexible repair tape. I'd like to see how well it holds up.
    My friend has a hole in his net-less HH & wants me to try & repair it. I'll probably be getting a roll. Thanks.

    Kenyon Klear Tape

    Ok, I finally picked up the tape at Wally World - $1.96. It's called Kenyon Klear Tape, a 3" x 18" strip. The package says its "A truly universal repair tape - can be used on all smooth synthetic fabrics, fleece fabrics and vinyl."
    "A clear highly durable, UV stable, abrasion resistant urethane tape."

    I had trouble finding it - I had to go to 3 different stores before I found one that wasn't out of stock.

    OK, that's different from what I saw at a wal-mart I went in.
    What I saw was a rubberized repair patch w/ glue. I'm glad to hear what you found was different.
    I'll try another store or two & see if I can find what you found.

    i've made some patches using ripstop and c-3 tape from sailrite, and they have worked great.
