Maybe it was the more convenient layout of having multiple pics on the same page to compare to rather than flipping pages in the book. I got these in state park visitor centers but I'm sure you can find them online.
    I agree and it seems to me (unless I am missing something and that's a good possibility) you have to know what the plant is before you can look it up.

    Has anyone made this type of self-tensioning guyline out of 1.75 mm Lash-It/Zing-It?

    If so, what size silicone tubing did you use?

    I'm thinking 1/4" ID, 3/8" OD, 1/16" Wall, Soft (Shore A50) silicone tubing. Thoughts?

    You can get it from Lowes or Home Depot also. It will be on the isle with the plumbing stuff and sometimes in the pool section. It can be used for water cooling a pc as well. I had a bunch of this stuff laying around about 2 months ago. Threw it away. Never thought I'd use it for anything other than water cooling. Guess I was wrong. I need to buy some more amsteel and webbing before I buy hose. I really dont think I need to do this mod though. My SRL is fine and if something happens to it I've got enough cord to replace it. I dont use amsteel or dyna on my SRL.
    I am me and no one else can be me without my permission.
