Wash that Mule Tape

[timabababaluka]

What's the difference between this and tubular webbing. I use 9/16" tubular on my "grab and go" eno with D-rings on it, would this be similar?

Most of the tubular webbing that I have seen has been made out of nylon, which will start to stretch on you and may cause your setup to look and feel like it has deflated over the night. The mule tape is made of polyester, and has very little stretch.

But, as in all things, results may vary. It sounds like the 9/16" tubular is working for you, and if that be the case, status quo is always cheaper than replacement

it's only lubed IF it's been used ( to pull in wire)...and even then any wire pull that's for big wire the mule tape is only used for a measurment and to pull in a big rope that actually does the work... directly off the spool needs no cleaning either

So is mule tape prelubed and in need of washing or not?

Right off the reel, the lube they use carries no scent that I have ever noticed. Some of the lube we use in the field, however, smells bad when it dries. Washing the tape just insures that nothing is left from the previous use.

Thank you. Thank you very much...

I ran across that post and I couldn't help myself. It was calling to me.
