    UCR's for tarp. And general utility, I had to buy 1.25" rope last month for my backyard 1-tree hang. Nasty stuff.
    I ride a recumbent.
    I like to HAM it up on the CW.
    I use Linux.
    I play go.
    Of course I sleep in a hammock!

    Rug.

    Hang On!

    I'd also like to know what plans everyone has for this. Did I hear someone was going to attempt a suspension with it?

    don't you think this is a little big for tarp ties? Or is it appropriate?

    Its not "big."

    But its rating makes it a waste.

    The thing for me, is finding small, light, spliceable line.

    Just received 150' of green line! MUCH thanks for putting this together.

    I'm hoping to make whoopie slings out of mine. Nothing new. Gonna wait until Opie tests it. Better him than me . . . it's easy to recognize the pioneers. They're the ones with arrows sticking out their backs.

    WooHoo! Got mine yesterday!

    That stuff is beautiful. I'm planning whoopie/UCR tarp ties, maybe tarp/hammock ridge lines, and prussik loops, to name a few things. I know the strength is overkill, but building whoopies with mason line is a pain in the you-know-what (probably only because of my aging eyes, though).

    Thanks for doing this, Opie--I know that must have been some hard work.

    Will this line cut into branches easily?
    Seems like it may.

    I am going to use mine for ridgeline and throw line ....over branches and lift packs off the ground and up...food and stuff....pretty weighty.
    Throw line gives me concern about sawing into branch bark.
