where do you get your line?

[FW]

ok so 5 lbs of the stuff from rainbownetrigging.com to ship is $22 to me. I can grab 5 lbs or 10 lbs and bring it to FL if anyone is interested. Makes it about $12 / each for 750' of Dacron twine.

That is going to make nylon line way too expensive. If you can't wait for the Dacron line, try http://www.nylonnet.com/

OOH careful, "ordinary" Dacron line is probably not as good as nylon line. The line that I posted is specially made to the specifications of some engineers that happen to be on the US Deep Cave Team. It has a core of parallel monofiliment fibers, and a kernmantled sheath, like climbing rope. The reason it is so stiff it the sheath is very tight, to keep grit out. Grit will cause the line to fail if it is moved much, like on a jump reel

This is one of those classic overthought threads!!

Get a 1 LB reel of cheap 24. It'll last forever. And when it gets dodgy, replace it.

If you're using it for jumps and entries, just replace it occasionally.

If you're running it in new cave, it's unlikely to ever get touched since most new caves get dived infrequently, and/or by people who stay the hell off the line.

The ONLY time you need to think hard about what line to use is if you're relining something like Ginnie, with a bunch of infrequent divers mauling the line repeatedly. Like past the Henkle, where I swear people use it like a towrope given how bad it usually looks.

So...here's a nice resurrection of an old thread! What's the best way to go for line these days? Braided nylon...dacron...dyneema/spectra...whatever they happen to put on Apex spools?

And if it's not the old standard braided nylon, where are you getting it?

I get mine from here. You get a bit of a discount if you buy it a case at a time.

This is the last place I bought it from earlier this year. Appeared to be the cheapest at the time.

what's PMI?

PMI is good climbing line, but I prefer Bluewater line if you can find it, They used to only make climbing and dry caving rope. & is waterproof !...........................>https://www.bluewaterropes.com/

{BlueWater traces its roots to a family-owned textile business that began manufacturing in Georgia in 1903.}

My 2 cents worth
