    I'm with @nanok and @sideshowraheem on this one; I like to think he is ramping up things in a proper large facility, with plans to become a substantial wholesale supplier.

    And as I also mentioned, I got a 100' hank of THIS from HammockGear and it is either A) actually Glowire or B) the most exact copy in the Known Universe. I'm going with A.

    So if you crave your Glowire fix, get this stuff.
    I have to agree, I ordered and received a hank of THIS and side by side does appear to be the same stuff.

    My guy lines are now half old lawson stock and half new hammock gear stock so I can compare how well it wears over time. It sure does knot the same.

    The site is up, and he has most lines in stock it would appear. I've got a lot of his glow-wire line at home ranging from 3mm, which seems fatter and more stiff btw compared to the 3mm line on my Hilleberg Nammatj 3 GT, so I need to experiment a bit with it. I wanted to swap out Hilleberg's fantastic 2mm and 3mm lines on all my tents for black glow wire.

    Other that wishing the lines were not as stiff, I'm really impressed with Lawson's stuff. It takes knots well, and I think prussics made of it would work better with zing it on zing it. Or perhaps zing it purssics on a Glow-wire continuous ridgeline, would that work even better?

    Ooops! I spoke too soon. I was on their site a few days ago and there was stock of their glow-wire - but now all the 2mm I checked just now are out of stock. The only stuff that seems to be in, out of their lines, is some 5mm glowire for those needing to coral a buffalo, and some 2mm ironwire.

    Either I did not pay attention, or someone bough a lot of Lawson line recently.

    Lawson Prussik onto the same diameter Lawson works great

    That little bit of stiffness is a good thing. Makes handling easier and far more tangle-resistant.

    Indeed. Runs counter to 'common knowledge' but makes life a lot simpler.

    I use 2.2 Zingit. It’s better with knots than 1.7 Zingit

    I use Zingit on Zingit for prusiks, just more wraps th

    A 6 wrap prusik yields 12 coils, and prusik holds great after hand tightening prusik.
    I turn prusik in a horseshoe shape and pull all ends real hard

    I have some awesome reflective whoopies made from a reflective line Lawson used to sell, but has not had in a while. Looks like it is back as 5mm glowire!

    The Glowwire is not spliceable, so I don't think your whoopies are made from that.
