Speer no tangle

Where can I get some orange spectra now that Speer doesn't offer it?

i bought mine from speer 2 weeks ago, no problem, ordered off the website.

The trade name for that cording is "Yale Pulse 1/16" cordage". The last I heard, they were only manufacturing it by the spool.

Dynaglide is available in orange, if you're just looking for small diameter cordage. It's spliceable too.

It's on the website http://www.speerhammocks.com/Products/Supplies.htm near the bottom, below webbing above hook & loop.

Great stuff.

i dont want to be banished from the forum for this, but why exactly is it that this guyline is so good?

does it have a good hand?

hold knots well?

is it lightweight?

any other qualities i may have missed?

They won't banish you but they will shun you at teh next hang.

What I really like about it is;
It is highly visable
It it ridgid and doesn't tangle easily
When it does tangle it is easy to get out
It holds knot well

i can just picture it now... all the hammocks set up in a circular formation and i have to set mine up between two dead trees rubbed with bacon grease with widowmakers 150 yards from camp...

thanks dutch!

Yep, all of that. I really like it for tarps and such. I think it is much easier to do most knots than is most small line. The rigidity is a big help. Highly visible.

I got some from Mr.Prez a while back when Speer was out.

I use it because I can just drop my lines inside the folds of my tarp as I roll it up to pull the skin over it. It almost never tangles. I don't like to fiddle with small things on a long hike. Rolling up lines individually is not for me. YMMV>
