On a recent trip to Cumberland Island National Seashore, I wondered about the wisdom of packing different length WS..the trees down there are all old Live Oaks that are twisted and contorted due to the winds on the Island.

I set up just about all of my different hammocks over the extended weekend, letting a hiking buddy try them out - he had a cervical fusion in November. Being a fused fellow myself, I felt that it was my duty to bring him to the light.

I was using two 6' sets of Opie's excellent WS, but I found myself stretched to the limit. So - would you just pack one 8' or 10' pair of WS, or would you pack a 6' and a 10' and potentially make adjustments on the fly?
Oh, btw, Cumberland is a really neat place if you've never been!
