| Typical setup on the AT. |
The first hammocks we had for backpacking were Speer, which is just a simple rectangular gathered end hammock with a knot on the end for the attachment point, rather than a sewn channel. Both of our hammocks that we used on the AT were similar and had to be replaced shortly thereafter because they smelled so bad, not because they were worn out. So we both have relatively new hammocks made out of 1.9oz/yd nylon.

I did change the suspension on our hammocks for the CT after watching too many Jeff Myers videos. This is where the Amsteel cordage comes in. After several trials, I finally settled on this for our hammock suspension systems. This will also allow adjustment right at the end of the hammock rather than having to adjust the knot at the tree, as we had to do on the AT.
