Finally Found the Lightest Guylines with Reflective Tracers

[FireInMyBones]

While reading over at Stick's Blog, I read about a new online store with 1.1mm dynema cord with a sheath and a reflective tracer. It also comes in a 1.5mm option. Can you guess which one I opted for?

I just bought 10m of it and will update my thoughts upon its arrival.

Awesome! I've been waiting for someone to make a reflective guyline in gram weenie sizes. Can't wait to hear what you think. Can you check to see if it'd be a good bear bag line?

I don't see why the 1.5mm wouldn't be, but like any thin cord, it hurts to pull up the weight of food.

Wrap it around any ole stick lying around to save your hands.

True, but when I'm dealing with sub 2mm line, I've cut sticks in half with 8 days of food (~15lbs). The Marlin Spike Hitch works well, but I've switched to a bear can so I can try for the JMT.

I'm camping with you. Cool colored lines & there has got to be a steak or two in that 15lbs of food.

try a sliding prusik with a loop of something more comfortable attached.

push the prusik up the line, pull down on the loop (and the line with it). as if you were ascending the rope.

That stuff looks great! I just got some "nite eyes" cord and replaced some of my guy lines. I think its 2.5mm… thinner than paracord but not super thin.

+1 the nite ize reflective cord. I picked up 50' (about 15 meters) for $9.50 on amazon.

Per the site, the shipping weight was 2.5 oz. I find it to be nicely reflective when my light hits it. The reflective material is embedded making the cord feel rough versus normal paracord.

He does great work, I have a cuben hybrid wallet he made me last year.
