Woopie sling rope?

[DrewB]

Donaghys sell dyneema whoopie slings, as long as the rigging is all pretensioned and not shock loaded I can't see too much if a problem. Bloody light.

Agreed, but how many have the ability to pre-tension lines during rigging?

 

I'd not recommend it for most broader rigging applications

The dyneema is best for fixed rigging, when under tension its like steel, it hardly melts at 300c does at 600c, it gets softer in time, but still retains its strength and ability.

 

It is very light, floats and does not absorb water, so there is no change in how it performs.

 

Try it and find out, its great having a 150gram piece of kit that out performs most.

Dak,

Got some 9mm Tenex. Nice to work with. Here is my Woopie.

 

 

Getting some larger Tenex next week. Thanks for all the help.

Looks sweet as bro!

How much rigging do you do that is static? Examples please

[Paul Smith]

Lifting limbs with a GRCS. Still wouldn't use dynema!

I use it for top anchor pulleys, cambium savers and flying capstan.

 

keeping most of simple, not bungee jumping logs for fun

 

This one is a cambium saver, the eye end is to leave all your options open, you can have any number of different attachments or make it adjustable.

NON of those are static - they will all be subjected to dynamic loading during the rigging!!!

try it first and find out how it performs, do not be blinkered

I give up.
