Source for Amsteel Blue

**GaHammockGuy** · 04-02-2010, 15:03

Okay
First off I would like to thank SloBrofor his thread on how to make the Whoopie Sling.
I have mastered the operation and am using them on my hammocks. It is an awesome suspension and light-weight and easy to use.

I am NOT using the amsteel blue but another cordage I purchased from the local boat place. (for the Atlanta folks West Marine on 41 near the Cumberland mall)

the cordage is a bit thicker than I like but only cost me $0.16 per foot. The amsteel is going for around $0.34 - $0.45 per foot. Is there a source where I can get it cheaper than that.

The cordage I am using is rated for 1200lb so I know it is strong enough, but I want something a bit thinner and not as stiff as this stuff.

Thanks

Redden Marine has it for $.21 per foot for the 7/64. Add "hammockforum" to the discount box and you get 5% off.

EDIT.. West Marine will price match. Id still buy it from Redden, however.

Here is the thread with the amsteel discount.

I made an Amsteel purchase from ReddenMarine just last night. I entered "hammockforum" but did not recieve the discount. I believe it read "Coupon EXPIRED" or something similar.

It could have expired. I seem to remember there was an expiration date on the discount.

I tried it today and the discount still works. Make sure you use a capital "H" in the code: Hammockforum. It may be case sensitive and if you put in "hammockforum" it may not work.

Ordered last night and the code worked typed in Hammock Forums just like that and got the discount. Also try emailing them they are very friendly and responsive... now just need the postal service teleporter to kick in and drop my purchase on the front door...

Greetings

Arrowhead Equipment sells 7/64th Amsteel in 25 foot increments for $5.25. I know he takes Paypal. This would be your best bet short of moving the money from your Paypal account to your own bank account.
