    The Cuben hammock died a violent death 0100 Saturday morning. We will mourn its passing.

    Sorry to bear that SGT Rock!
    If you don't push something to failure, you never will know when it will fail.

    I hope only the hammock was harmed!

    It was. It gave me a warning before the massive blow out, so I had time to get my feet set on the ground.

    Not yet. It basically did what Lawson's Hammock did and split straight across under my shoulders.

    Really great to know that a cuben hammock has the possibility to have that happen. It's ideas like that that that help us move forward. Thanks for testing it out and sharing your results.

    Glad you're okay. Bet the material will show up in some other gear someday.

    Any guess the total number of nights in the hammock?

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!
