Alternate hammock Knot
To be a good hammock knot the knot needs to be easy to tie, not slip and be easy to untie after the hammock has been hanging from it.  If the ends of the tree hugger are 3 inches or more apart I use the knot that is shown on the bag that the Hennessey comes in. The only time I use the alternate Knot is when tying to the loop in the end of a tree hugger.
Step1
Put the rope through the end of the hugger and make a half hitch but do not pull it tight.. Leave a 2 – 3 inch loop.

Bring the end of the rope back through the first large loop half hitch and tuck it back under its self making another half hitch and pull it somewhat tight. Don’t pull till the knot bends.

This knot has never slipped on me and has always been easy to untie even after being rained on and up for several days.
