emma kites Black 1.6mm UHMWPE Braided Cord Spliceable Utility Cord DIY Leash Tent Tarp Guyline Hammock Ridgeline Whoopie Sling Bear Bagging for Camping Backpacking Survival Boating 100Ft 750Lb

I bought the 1.6mm (750lb) line to use as a tarp ridgeline and structural ridgeline for my hammock. Having never done any splicing before I was apprehensive about how it would go. But with a darning needle, a couple of screwdrivers and some wire cutters I was able to make brummel splices, continuous loops, and tail end burys.It comes on the spool black, but after working it for a while the black fades to silver/grey as you can see in my photos.The prussik knots slide initially, I think the line has some kind of coating which rubs off, (which is why the colour fades I presume), make your prussiks big enough to do 4 wraps and they hold tight.Overall this is probably the best value UHMWPE line you'll find. Maybe not quite as high quality as big branded dyneema line available, but £15 for 31m this is well worth it.

Holy hell this cord is strong af well worth the price this thing has no flex or stretch very strong and won't snap back at you.

I used this for the top string on my daughter's lacrosse stick. The typical nylon string used wears and breaks about once a season from abrasion against the ground. This is supposed to be tougher and highly abrasion resistant, so I thought it was worth giving it a try. We'll see how it holds up over time. All I can say now is that it certainly appears to be tough based on the effort required to cut it (not too hard, just required a sharp utility knife, but much harder than the normal lacrosse string). It tied nicely, doesn't stretch and looks sorta cool.

If flying kites is your thing then this is right for you. Tug boats is mine and this worked perfectly for some of the applications i needed it for.
