SurvivalBlog reader MTH suggested a 550 paracord alternative that I have been experimenting with myself. The Hennessy Hammock, which was recently purchased by my son, has a strand of Spectra cord that is 1/3 the diameter of 550 paracord, yet it has a strength of nearly three times that of 550 paracord. It has amazing properties for close to the same price. One word of warning though: Knots may be more difficult to deal with.
