    What thread for sewing non-climbing attach points to RCH?

    Reuse disassembled Amsteel whoopie?

    Just getting started here. I'm looking at using 1/4" Amsteel blue to make a whoopie sling bridge to figure out what length works for me.

    Suggested rope lengths for starters

    Hey folks.. New here. After getting back into hunting, and really only having access to public land, I'm really interested in the flexibility of saddle hunting. I tried searching through the forums to find this info, but maybe I just missed it. My question is what rope lengths would be...
