    Thanks David. I am guessing with it being a single layer it is limited to about 200 lbs. Only testing, and eventually a failure of a M50 hammock will prove what limits really are.

    Wow that is a surprising light hammock. The M50 is very strong to hold up to 200lbs. I wonder if M90 would do better for heavery people like me
    Life looks better from a BIAS hammock.

    M50 is very light and surprisingly strong for a garbage bag! I have never worked with M90, but I can only assume it can hold more. That or make a M50 double layer.

    Wow Raif! That's tite dude! I've been thinkin about M50 to lighten up on a winter quilt set. I didn't realize folks were pushing it for hammock use. More incentive to lose e few more pounds so I can use a SL M50 hammock. I use the term "a few more" loosely, lol!
