Most everyone these days has heard of Amsteel and other similar synthetic ropes. I was wondering what other uses you may have found for it around the camp or in your vehicle.
I first learned of it when I began working on a hammock setup for solo travels as a light weight and fast means of setting up camp when on trips with friends. I bought some 7/64 and made my whoopie slings from it as well as a ridge line for my hammock.
I also recently realized I needed something to make die downs for my roof rack since Nissan used a huge tube for the side rails and my straps don't have enough slack on the mechanical end to wrap around the tube. My daughter and I used some 1/8 Amsteel to make continuous loops that we can wrap around the rail as a choker to anchor the tie down straps to. With a 2500lb break strength in single line, this should be more than capable of holding what we put on our roof rack.
What other places do you use something like this?
