I haven’t seen much mention of using Dyneema webbing for DIY projects, so I figured I’d start it off.
I picked up 25’ of “Venom” from “Ripstop by the roll”. It is UHMWPE, which is the same “Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene” that is labeled as dyneema or amsteel in their respective trademark uses. the only downside I see is it is jet black, maybe if we give them enough business, we can get it in a green or tan.
This stuff is only 2.2 grams per foot, with an 1800lb break strength for the 1” webbing. That makes it 76% lighter than standard 1” polyester webbing. It is UV stabilized, webbing knot friendly, and is starting to be used heavily in the hammock world.
I am using this order for a CAYG aider for my hawk helium sticks. Here is what I have mocked up for a 2-step version. I’ll let y’all know how the project goes in a few weeks when I get it sewn up and I get back from my anniversary trip with the wife.
Here is the link... heads up, there’s only 54 units in stock as of me posting this... I assume the “Saddle Hunter Effect” will take place.

Venom™ UHMWPE Ultralight Webbing
We searched far and wide for a webbing that was stronger, tougher, and lighter than everything else. When we couldn't find it, we made it. Introducing Venom™ UHMWPE webbing. Designed, woven, and produced from scratch by us, Venom™ webbing uses one of the world's strongest fibers (UHMWPE) to...
