    You can never have enough rope

    Just looking at my rope collection, and I don't think I have enough - 200 ft. of Amsteel Blue 7/64" in red, black, grey and green. Another 100 ft. of 1/8" Amsteel in orange, red and yellow, then 200+ ft. of Zing-it 1.75 mm in yellow.

    I think I need to buy some of that red Zing-It. Looks mighty nice.

    It was almost all bought on steep discount. West Marine had a 40% off, and then some other place had a sale, and the next thing ya know, ya got a rope collection.

    Redden Marine has a remnants sale every now and then - what's left on the end of the spool. I bought a bunch of stuff during that sale!

    What iind of plans do you have with it. I have all my stuff rigged and still have rope left, not as much as you but maybe 400 feet combined of amsteel, zing it and lashit. I am thinking of making a diygear tarp so some of it will go to that.
    Just figured I see if you had a good project I could use mine for. My will probably end up in the scouts set up I will make for my sons webelos bridging next year.

    I wish I had that much rope. I have just under 100ft of black amsteel, probably 40-50 ft of red, plenty of zing-it left, and a couple hundred feet of paracord, which I can nab 100ft of for about 5 bucks, thanks to my handy-dandy bass pro employee discount Not quite up to your collection though, SilvrSurfr
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    I am without a gear room at his point in my life (I know, tragic, right?). If I had one, I'd be blissfully in the same boat.

    If that's 200/100 feet each for the different colors, you should be starting to feel comfy. If the 200/100 ft are totals, you're almost out and need to order more immediately.

    You also seem to be missing Endura 12 SK90, various sizes of Spyderline, etc.

    I needed ~20' of 6mm accessory cord so I ordered a 100m spool last night. The choices I found were $16 for 30' or $56 for 100m so I had to get the 100m....right?

    How are you fixed for webbing?
