Includes:
- the hammock with suspension (straps, whoopies, and suspension hooks), removable bugnet with built-in ridgeline and storage pockets, and spreader pole
- the tarp with guylines and stakes
- the external gear sling
This is catch-and-release from a local Craigslist seller. He claimed it was only used once. I have my doubts, but I suppose it's possible. I set it up to check the condition and found a 4-inch section near the head of the hammock where the bugnet had torn from the hammock body. (Maybe that's why it was only used once - LOL). It was a fairly clean tear, so I whipped out my old Singer sewing machine and stitched it back together. I added three rows of stitching (and even doubled over a couple of extra times in a couple of places). It's not pretty (it's actually downright ugly by my own personal DIY standards), but it's almost certainly stronger than the original single stitch and will hold just fine. I've included pictures of the repair job. The rest of the hammock and all the other components (including the suspension) look like new. I think it's probably true that the tarp was never used. All the guy lines look like the original bundles that have never been untied and the stakes are perfectly clean with no dirt or other signs of use.
Full disclosure ... this hammock is not designed for big guys like me (I'm 6'2"/240lbs). I laid in it just out of curiosity and it will support my weight just fine, but it's a really tight fit length-wise. This is really much better hammock for shorter adults or kids. It would make a great setup for boy scouts, for example.
Pictures are below. The complete hammock set in its bag and the repair job are my pictures. But I forgot to take pictures of the hammock when I set it up so I downloaded a couple from the web to give context. It looks just like these photos when set up.
