    Always learning something. I initially thought why not use a steel cable? Then at the end I saw how tough this stuff really is.. and repairable.

    • @tareskisloki8579
      @tareskisloki8579 5 років тому

      Plus steel cable weighs so much more (huge difference when running it up a hill), and you need to wear heavy gloves when handling it to avoid slicing your hand open on any loose strands, the only problem with rope is you have to avoid rubbing it against rocks (but you can buy sliding sheaths that just stay on the rope, roll up on the drum and be be placed where needed).

Amazing what a creative human can pull off if you keep your head, and your videos are an excellent training resource. Thank you.

Nice hi-vis color makes it easy to see and, more importantly, stay clear of during the snatch. Seems very well made and robust. I definitely recommend this kinetic rope.
