Any suggestions for 'ridge line' material that offers minimal stretch? Also, best source for the line.
Thanks ahead of time!

I use Amsteel 12 7/64 or Amsteel Blue from here. The link provided has all kinds or rope that can be used for a ridge line.

Thanks for the referral. I've ordered...

Is the Amsteel kind of 'crunchy' or is it soft? I might have some already...

It's soft.

What about 550 paracord, or is it too elastic?
“I think that when the lies are all told and forgot the truth will be there yet. It dont move about from place to place and it dont change from time to time. You cant corrupt it any more than you can salt salt.” - Cormac McCarthy
It might not have been real 550 Paracord. There's plenty of knockoffs out there. I've been using 550 for years now and never had it break in all I've asked of it. That said, I've ridgelined it to hold up my bugnetting but I'll be picking something else up that doesn't stretch. Thanks for the Amsteel info.
