At not even 10' long, I wouldn't even consider it.
Saying it's mil-spec without saying which mil-spec they are referencing is like saying celebrity endorsed without naming the celebrity.
Not sure why they are calling it a double either. It's a single layer and not big enough for two people either.
You're better off with a Dutch Argon for that price, YO's double was nice because it was cheap.

At a weight capacity of 300lbs it isn't even a one person hammock for a large number of our huskily-built brethren, let alone a two-person hammock.
I think people spoiled $25 net version, the $99 /w pack, tarp, knife, cord earlier also good.

I bought the regular Woot! Yukon double a few months ago. As a comparison, I bought the Dutch Polyd hammock. All I can say is only a fool would pay $39 for a Yukon when they could buy a Dutch argon or polyd for the same (roughly) price.

Agreed, the selling point of the YO double was the price. Makes for a nice first hang and a good loaner. Not sure what the appeal to this one is.
