Anybody ever tried using sisal baler twine as an alternative to paracord for presets? I was in wally word the other day and saw a roll of sisal twine on the shelf and it got the wheels turning about an inexpensive biodegradeable option for public land presets. On public I hunt a lot of spots that may or may not get hunted again. It would be nice to leave a preset cord behind just in case but I'm not crazy about leaving paracord everywhere that may not get retrieved.
That WMart twine is way too weak. It said 8lb working load on the package for whatever that's worth . But I actually bought a roll and hung it in a couple trees just to see how long it lasts as a preset. Doing a little searching around and the industrial baler twine though goes from a tensile strength of 190lbs to 425lbs depending on the spec., that's getting to be a useable material. I haven't pulled the trigger on buying a roll yet to try it, was hoping to find some at a farm supply around here first to take a look at it. Any thoughts?
