Wow! Thanks for the info. From the sound of it though it sounds like more of an issue for climbers. I don't think the opening would effect my hammock hang. I usually hang from my Warbonnet biners anyway.
Thanks for the heads up!
The safety links end up on this BD page for instructions on how to inspect: https://warranty.bdel.com/CarabinerRecall/Landing
which has a good video explaining where to look; the entire page has pictorial instructions.
Thanks for the link. My biners are good to go!Quote:
