Hey all,

I’ve been mobile hunting for two seasons now and decided to stop dragging around my Novix Echo and pickup a saddle.

I ordered a CRUZR XC on Sunday, and I can’t wait for it to show up.

My question is ropes. Currently I have 1/2” (12.7mm) dynamic rope I have been using as my lineman’s and tether. Both are rigged with figure eights on one end with double overhand stopper knots on the other and ropeman 1’s as ascenders. I’d like to switch to something smaller and static. I’d like to keep as close to 10MM as possible so I do not need to replace my ascenders.

my question is, what rope to buy/where can I buy it by the foot, I don’t think buying a 40M+ rope is needed unless I plan to repel in the future. I really only need 40 feet max right now.

if it helps I’m using four Novix full length stickst the moment.
 
Thank you, the only ropes that fit my need and are sold by the foot are all sold out

An easy and cheap option if you don’t want to order online or don’t have any climbing shops in your area like myself is to buy a tree stand safety line. They are usually about 25-30 ft of good 10mm rope for around $30 and most of them come with carabiners and sewn or ties loops for friction hitches (can never have too many as they can be used for a bunch of stuff). My local Walmart carries them during hunting season so it’s really convenient and fast to get
