    Amsteel Blue projects

    What can you make with Amsteel Blue other than whoopie slings?

    Has anyone compiled a list of projects?

    I am trying to figure out how much to buy.

    Continuous Loops
    Soft shackles
    Adjustable Structural Ridgelines

    I'd buy a couple hundred feet.

    A Google search should turn up some how to pics/videos.

    I have been thinking of making a leash for my dog... For camping. There have been situations where I needed to clip her to a line run between two trees temporarily like when a group if hikers are in the area, etc. This would replace some paracord and a carabiner that I use now.

    Thanks to you I just shaved half an ounce off my keys. And actually I used some Dynaglide I had lying around. 2 Soft Shackles for 2 sets of keys, and one continuous loop in an off color. May get rid of the continuous loop as it's not really needed.
