I'm contemplating on placing an order for more cordage but want to make sure I get the right one. I am ultralight when it comes to camping so I do value weight savings. I have some experience with amsteel making whoopie slings and UCR's. I want to make a few structural ridgelines and whoopie slings for friends as well as some ridgelines for tarps. I'm debating whether buying lash-it/zing-it along side dynaglide or amsteel is necessary. Is it asking too much to go with just dynaglide and use it for everything? Am I missing out by just having one of these ropes? Many people say it's overkill to use amsteel or dynaglide on ridgelines or guylines, but I feel like overkill is paying shipping twice and buying huge excess amounts of rope.
In summarizing, what rope provides the most versatility for you and also best value? Is it worth getting all three or a combo of them, or can you do just one.
I currently use cinch buckles and an adjustable whoopie ridgeline. I weigh 150 lbs.
180' of zing it from dutch comes to $20 with shipping
dynaglide is harder to find but I can be patient
Amsteel is the most expensive of all (still have like 15 feet of it)
