Through no fault of its own, my daily driver finally gave up the ghost. This hammock has hundreds of nights in it and has had numerous mods to it through the years, not the least of which were a series of holes burnt into the end channel for some bad idea I had a couple years back that I couldn't resist trying. Anyway its was just Joann Fabrics polyester suit liner material and I've had it strung extra tight as you can see in the photo there isn't much angle from the hammock to the hammock stand, but thats because the stand has so much flex that the hammock sags like crazy when you get in. As it happened the night prior to the failure I had heard some strange sounds when exiting the hammock and the morning of the failure just as my feet touched the ground and I rocked to get out, RRRrrrrrippp! The whole end channel failed except for a tiny spot in the very corner. The good news is I get to make a new hammock now.
