I'm a pretty light guy so I trust the straps for my personal use, but am a little bit concerned about hanging out with another person in the hammock with me. I realize it would be pretty crowded for two people, but it's still an option I'd like to have.
What do you guys/gals think? Do you have experience with/would you trust the Atlas to the full 400 lbs, or would it be more prudent to make new straps with heavier duty webbing?
