"US troops in Vietnam found the old WW2 jungle hammock to be too heavy and hot for use in Vietnam's tropical climate. Troops ended up sleeping on the jungle floor, exposed to rotting foliage, reptiles, and insects. In 1966, the Army introduced a new compact, lightweight jungle hammock modeled after a captured North Vietnamese design. It consisted of a single 100' by 34' nylon sheet with an overhead line, over which could be rigged a poncho to shed rain."
