    You mention using polyester bias tape.
    All of the bias tape I can find is a poly / cotton blend.
    Is there a source for 100% poly bias tape?
    I'm afraid to use any cotton for fear of it retaining moisture, and eventual rotting.

    Any input?

    Thanks,
    Thanks Brad. I have edited the post, I actually used Polyester kick tape, not bias tape as I incorrecty wrote. Many apologies.
    The cotton blends look better, but I'm yet to find anything as strong or light as this stuff. It's held up as tie outs for over 2 years with hardly a sign of rubbing. Looks like this;

    As soon as the snow melts and no-one wants one 'til the autumn.

    Hurry hurry, you can make it

    "In Karasjok was Sunday at 13 measured at 37.9 degrees below zero, and in Kautokeino 37.8 degrees below zero. In Alta was measured at 18.5 degrees below zero, and Tromsų minus 9.6.

    Sunday evening, Karasjok expect minus 45 degrees and minus 40 Karasjok"

    From local media and google translated. Temperature in Celsius.
    If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife will sell my gear for what I told her I paid for it.

    I am learning from my mistakes, so I can make better and bigger mistakes.

    Thanks Harstad.

    I'm watching yr.no like a hawk still. It's seriously cold up there. Happy days.

    Praying for your high pressure to hang around for a few more weeks. There doesn't seem to be much snow up there though-16cm. Hope your having a good winter. It hasn't really started here yet. We had the first air frost last night!
