    Thanks

    I plan to finish up shortly and allow others to add to it in place. I've done a handful of collaborative-type projects using Google docs, and it should let us do that.

    To keep it reasonable, I've limited the scope to diameters under 1/2".

    Cordage comparison chart...

    Spyderline——braided outer sheath and braided inner core, kinda spliceable with great knowledge and patience—-I never spliced spyderline—-holds knots—-Sheath is poly? And can chafe, inner core is dyneema?
    I got some spyderline to try out different suspensions using a single line and knots rather than a whoopie sling or UCR.

    DeltaNu, thanks for compiling and posting your chart!

    Here is the Google Sheets link to this chart:

    I added Spyderline and some others.

    I was able to download it as an Excel file directly to my computer using Firefox. I just opened the link, selected "File" and "Download as." Looks good!

    3-strand twisted rope is spliceable (of course, it's a very different technique than that used for hollow-core rope). Under 'Spliceable', you might specify "Y- hollow-core" or "Y-3-strand" or something similar.

    Very helpful!

    Would also be cool if you put 'suitability' information in. I.e. a column: suitable for bear bag, suitable for tarp guy line, works with lineloc, etc. Some of that stuff is hard to quantify - I wish it's slipperiness/tangability could be measured.

    I did a blog post a while back that lists out most common ropes/cords/webbings and what we as hammock campers commonly use most of them for. https://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/...e-dope-on-rope

    I mostly just tried to gather objective data for a wide variety of cordage. I'm sure there's a lot that could be added... think of this as a starting point.

    I think people can add whatever they want to this, in place.
