I was given the advice to you is 10 mm rope for the Rope mods on my Hawk helium sticks can I get that rope from Lowe's or Home Depot
Agree. Nothing from lowes or home depot or pretty much any home building stores would workThe size that was recommended to me was 8mm climbing accessory cord. I picked up some from REI and it’s working great. I don’t think you’d be able to use 10mm rope and most definitely, don’t use anything they sell at Lowe’s or Home Depot. you want a rope that is climbing rated. Your life is worth it.
Slick tip if you have a harbor freight near u there winch cord is $27 for 50ft of amsteel. I switched from the blue 8mm from rei to it. I know it sounds crazy but I can barely feel the weight from the amsteel vs the 8mm. Yeah not much weight difference it would seem but for some reason it's a nice upgradeAgree.

The negative reviews on that HF winch rope are downright frightening. I think I'd rather pay a bit more for a reliable Amsteel source.Slick tip if you have a harbor freight near u there winch cord is $27 for 50ft of amsteel. I switched from the blue 8mm from rei to it.

I get all my ropes from EWO, but use the winch line off Amazon…..1/4, 5/16” used for all kinds of stuff from secondary bridge (yes, my rappelling bridge) my stick cord, to connecting my OCB To my platform. I got a spool of 1/8th” I use for accesssory cord and a DIY adjustable binoculars strap. I also bought my cam cleats from Amazon. BTW- You picked a great set of sticks to modify! A single step aider on each stick is an ez peezy mod too! I 1 stick climb with a full length helium stick and love it.Thankyou for the advice and help.
I went to REI and picked up some 8mm accessory rope and tried it out after work today. Worked great.
I will look into the amsteel blue.
