It's silnylon. I don't know what the strength of the material is. Maybe one of the people that works with it all the time can give us an idea. My guess is it won't support a very heavy animal. It seems fragile to me because it's so thin.

Jazzy the trail dog is a lab mix and a solid 71 pounds. She likes to patrol our sites at times during the night, but always comes back under the tarp. I also supply her with a Z-rest pad in the winter along with an old Speer synthetic top blanket. I only keep her leashed in camp sites where they specifically call for it, like State Parks here in GA.
When I have some of my non-hanging buddies with me, she becomes a great foot warmer for the shelter-rats (infidels). :lol::lol:
It will be interesting to see how she handles an entire site full of hangers on the John Rock trip in a couple of weeks!

Small dogs don't always tireout like you'd like them to. My beagle generally hits the wall running beside my bike after 8 miles. Hiking out in the woods? I've never seen him stop, in fact he's generally tying to get me to go faster.
Ahhh... now I know where Marlee learned that trick. :D
Actually, he did it PH (pre hammock) so I guess he and Misto are just two peas in a pod... but not in a peapod!
I'm curious - is there a standard size dog used in determining a "dog night" (how cold it is)? Seems a "three chihuahua night" would not be as cold as a "three newfie night". :laugh: I suppose it would be a dingo given the measurement's origins.
