What do I need to fix it? I think there may be more.. Its one of those contour ones so I see us getting a whole new one or a new tent in the future but I want to get hammocks this year.

I would try some thick seamsealer. Either some store bought , or mix some mineral spirits with some GE Silicone II..and get it the thickness you want.

If it is silnylon make sure and use silnet. Regular seam sealer won't stick. but yeah for just a pin hole it should be fine.

Or get a small peice of Kenyon tape. But I imagine the dab of seam sealer looks better.

I wonder..do you think I could put a piece of  tape on the inside with seam sealer out? Think that would stop it from tearing more and look a touch better?
