>>1030553Well, in theory 440 paracord (which has a tensile strength of 44lb no?) would technically be strong enough but as I understand it, paracord stretches which will make it absolute schidt for a hammock, and also when it's wet it has a markedly decreased tensile strength. Amsteel doesn't stretch, fatigue, or absorb water. Tt doesn't wick water at all for that matter, meaning if it's raining there's less chance of water getting into your hammy from the ends. You're gonna need something better than paracord for the hammock, for the tarp it's fine. Also tree straps are a lot easier than rope and they don't damage the tree's capillaries.
