Hi,
I purchased a Kammock Mantis UL through REI used gear back in January. Due to weather and health issues, I was unable to set it up until today. I just saw some small tears in the Levitas™ 20D nylon ripstop fabric. I could easily fit a no so patch on them, but would it be better to stitch them? How do you sew ripstop nylon? Are there any precautions I should know about? This hammock is supposed to take me from Maine to Georgia in a few months so I want to start out as best as I can.
