Best heat resistant friction cord?

[Arran Turner]

You folks got any suggestions or preferences interested in people's opinions before I buy anything.

 

Used Marlow boa, op, Marlow viper and they are getting a bit black and shiney. I don't really bomb out of trees and use a variation of hitches

Beeline? Vectran core, technora/polyester cover..... Although it is very stiff, op is nicer to tie....

Will go with amour prus next as its the most recommended

 

Just a random question, hoping someone might know the answer, would it work having a dmm thimble on a prussik loop and using the thimble to go through the crab instead of a girth hitch. Never had used or seen a dmm thimble in the flesh. Or will there be to much movement? Thanks folks

beline, the 10 mm not the 8mm. yes there would be some movement with a thimble, but beside a better bend radious i cant see any advantage, keep the money in your pocket

If it was me I'd go ***** and just use a zip tie to hold it in place. Or if you want to be smart buy a blue bandit thingy sure some here knows what I mean and can provide a link, basically a think strong rubber band and tool to install it a good bit of kit with lots of use's.
