Must be some disappointed scouts out there!

Mine has a conductivity wire running through, that will come out easily I

hope.

That's a very good find.  Funny, but I just scored about 500' of the exact same

stuff this past weekend...  It's not terribly light, but the price is right.



Since Mule Tape is a brand, this is another equivalent, and it's polyester, so

absolutely no stretch.



This tape is, slippery by design, so make sure your knots are secure.  For the

kids, this also means no need for tree-huggers.



I've also sewn welded rings into short straps with a sewn-in-loop on one end for

attaching to the hammock.  Works well if you adjust the hammock, and tie a

slippery 1/2-hitch...



Nice score!

Good job, Ralph!







Hmm-If you keep scoring big bundles, you may be able to go into selling lengths

as a fund raiser for your Scouts.  I think AntiGravity Gear may have started out

with Tin Man selling stoves with at least some of the proceeds going to his

Troop.







Changing topics: Are you going to the BSA Jamboree next month?

The adventure continues



I scored about 600 feet of 5/8 poly strapping (similar to Mule tape)



Bull Line WP18 according to the web site it has a tensile strength of

1800 lbs.

No more Bungee Hammocks



I have contacts with the Poer company and the cable company looking for

more.   :]

enjoy your days&remember your nites, move or die ,the only easyday,was,yesterday

Well, it's always a good idea to try things out when they sound somewhat

suspicious. Finding out that received wisdom is correct is a good thing.



Walk well!

Hi, Ralph-







Thanks for the update.  This is one of those times that I'd have preferred to be

wrong.

Trip Report!!!



My scouts went camping last night.

6 scouts, 5 dads, 3 leaders, 12 hammocks 1 tent



I was in my HH the rest of the hammocks were risk test hammocks with sheet

bend and diagonal blue tarps.



It rained most of the night!!

Everybody slept warm and dry!!



Most of the hammocks were made with poly strapping (one with mule tape) All

performed flawlessly!



4 hammocks were made with nylon strapping, the two kids that slept in them

did fine,

the two dads that tried to sleep in them had to retie in the middle of the

night because they (slowly ) hit the ground.



As the group here predicted I had invented bungee hammocking.

One inch nylon has to much stretch to be used for an adult hammock.



Ralph
