sure thats what you need mate? expensive waste of time for dragging things in a woodland (bundles of laurel perhaps?) as it has poor abrasion resistance...

depends on how much you want to drag, how likely it is to snag on something, and if you are prepared to use it to destruction....

 

i'd count on 10:1 safety factor (if you're pulling hard and the bundle snags on a stump or summit) so with that in mind, with the 14mm you could drag a 325kg bundle without fear of snapping it too often...

Like Joe says TCD- total waste of time for your application. You would be spending all day tyeing knots in it where it breaks. Dyneema Bowrope is what it can be called i think BTW.

Polyprop is what you want. Cheap as chips.
