Now the Dyneema is in the pipeline what about the tree straps?

I have had two Polypropylene 25mm tree straps break because they were probably rated at only 120kg vertical!

I am sourcing some 1200kg rated Polyester 25mm webbing for making tree straps etc. This isn't going to break in a hurry and is far superior quality to your usual Polyprop. webbing.

It comes in 10m lengths and is blue.Tie or sew a loop at the ends and then use the Marlin Spike Hitch for the Whoopie suspension.

You could get a really long pair (how far apart?!) or two standard pairs of tree straps out of the 10m length.

It is only 50p/m, £5 delivered to the Moot, £6.50 posted. A great saving on some quality climbing grade webbing that won't let you down with a bump!! Get your name down quick. Payment by BACS or Paypal please. This should ship to you next week.

Some equivalent level stuff on the link below would cost £12.50 incl. P&P!!!

I assume this is also very low stretch too? My Wifes DD hammock straps (that I made, whoops) stretch loads on a long run!

Yep, I shouldn't imagine you'll get much stretch with this close woven high strength webbing, no more than any other tree hugger and 2.5mm Dyneema cord is the way to go for the main adjustable suspension if you want only 1% stretch.

Can we sign you up for some?

OK, this is selling quick. Check out the Pear Maillon Rapide group buy too cos I think I have just worked out a better suspension system than using the Marlin Spike Hitch for webbing and whoopie sling attachment. I'm about to ask my friend how much she'd charge to sew a loop into one end of the webbing for the purpose. I will demo at the Moot if it is a goer.

I have just tested this webbing and it is excellent.

My new webbing and whoopie sling suspension idea works great.

I will probably have some slings with me that are made from this webbing and has a loop sown in one end. I won't be bringing Rapides etc. but I can demo what I have done that replaces the Marlin Spike Hitch and toggle.

More webbing is available if anyone else wants to snap it up quick like. The postals will go out soon.

Mine will be settled in the morning. Was hoping for some positive news on the spectra though first. Cheers

Yep me too. It is being shipped to Countryman who will bring it to the Moot on Friday, at least I hope so or the supplier will be able to hit the high notes!! It won't get shipped to you until after the Moot. I'd prefer to post the webbing and Spectra together otherwise the webbing postage won't cover the cost for 20m, can't get 20m into a large letter size. It would double in price to put it in a medium parcel size and weight.

I still have some 10m lengths of this good quality 1200kg rated Polyester webbing if you want to grab it quick. The price will go up significantly at the Moot. Postage is £1.50 if I squeeeeeeeeze it into Large Letter or free delivery to the Moot. £5 a length, a steal.

I have now added this to my hammock suspensions as an extendable tree strap using a replacement for the Marlin Spike Hitch, most excellent and not going to go twang and dump me on the floor like that rubbish underrated Polypropylene stuff.
