    If you get it at Redden Marine use 'hammockforum' as a coupon code to get a small discount.

    FYI the green color listed under colored Amsteel is waaay off. Online it looks like a nice piney green. When mine arrived last week it was 1970's pool green - hewff

    .

    I have since dyed it to a nice deep earthy green.
    I have dealt with them many times. This was the only hitch I've encountered.

    FYI to your FYI all of the colors can very widely from one batch to the next.

    There has been a rumor in past posts that the code will not work unless you use a capital "H" (ie. Hammockforum). I have no idea if it matters or not. I used the big H and all worked out for me.

    I just used it in all lower case and it worked. It would have saved me a buck a month ago if I knew about it on the first 100' I bought. I just bought another 200'. Every one I know loves this rope and wants some of mine.
