Yes, you are correct, and it makes sense that what matters most would be that initial stitch.
I have seen Kammock straps and they employ the same idea, resting the carabiner right on the stitch. I believe they are using a much stronger stitch and the material is likely much more durable as I couldnt break theirs. Im thinking this can work, and frankly my test was to break it, but it took me some time to do so, and likey the case if using the hammcok correctly, even 50 times, there is no way this will break.
Im wondering if my problem is the type of thread. It is a thick, like a twine, and wondering if I got a stronger thinner thread that is more closly sewn together, that this is be even better. This is what Kammock does.
But your quphemism makes a good point as well, and something I should be considering, maybe nippin this whole concern in the bud. Im just feel with a couple twesaks and the proper thread and needle + stitch type, then it might be better.
I also dont have great methods for testing strength, any approach you would reccomend? Im just bouncing all my weight on the rolloed up hammock attached to pillars.
Anyways, thank you so much for the insight, and enjoy your videos
