Is this stuff the same as dynaglide that others sell? wanted to make some whoopies so didn't know if I could pick this up here or if I needed to go elsewhere, thanks.

Seems as though others believe its the same as Dynaglide...

Looks good to me if your sub 220lb in weight. I'd be happy with whoopies made from them.

Well it is a single braid line so various splicing methods work quite well with it. I've done fixed loops, adjustable loops (whoopies) & continuous loops all with that line without much trouble. I've never used any of them in a real load bearing capacity, just tarp guylines, but I do believe it's just dynaglide in a custom orange color.

I have a rule about suspending myself from cordage (well, several rules, but one in particular that seems to fit here.) If the specs say something like

'Weight Rating: 1,000lbs'

instead of something like,

tensile strength 1,000 lbs.

or

breaking strength 1,000 lbs. with a safety factor, I look for something else.

It does say "Weight Rating: 1,000lbs" AND "break strength of 1,000 lbs" in the description on Lawson's site, FWIW.
