For thin but ultra-strong cordage get some Amsteel. 1/8 inch holds 1000 pounds. It’s slick and plasticy feeling and some knots won’t hold as well but it weighs nothing and doesn’t absorb water. Amazing stuff.

@STOKERMATIC 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing that!

@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 Год назад

Dyneema(Amsteel) is great but I have found only for specific purposes. There is too many drawbacks overall to go using it like a general purpose cordage like paracord. Namely price is 4-5x even the more expensive reputable American made paracord out there. It can be very slippy and doesn't knot well, or goes to the opposite extreme and knots so tightly it's impossible to recover. Due to not having a woven sheath it tends to catch and tangle on things like bark, branches, twigs ect far more easily then paracord does. I used it for a ridgeline for a while due to having a low stretch but it kepts getting caught up on bark and tangling on everything so I just went back to paracord. I tend to only use it now for soft shackles and woopi slings for hammocks.

@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 i used 1/8 amsteel to pick up a 880lb spool of wire with one strand no sweat... got some just cause i wanted some truck rope and wanted to see if it was bs or not, and i was really impressed

@hyperboreanforeskin Год назад

@rawhideadventures9515 2 года назад

Here's a suggestion for the frayed ends. Use a piece of double walled heat shrink 1.5 to 2.0 inches, apply the heat, then cut it in the center. Neither end will fray and you will have the little tough ends just like shoe strings. Here is a second way to use it: When you have abused the long end of a ratchet strap, replace the strap with the Kevlar cord. It works great.

@PeterWolfe2012 3 месяца назад

I remember working a job in the early 2000's where a pipefitter/rigger refused to used kevlar slings to rig a generator shaft (275 tons, IIRC) on the grounds that the supervising authority, that I absolutely do not remember the name of, had banned the used of kevlar because the individual strands had proven to cut each with use over time and there was no way to inspect the threads in a kernmantled sling.

@elric68 2 года назад

Great overview of popular cordage and the “new kid” on the block. Like everyone else, 550 cord has always been in my pack and have seen the evolution towards bank line… but, Kevlar cord is a game changer! I keep about a 20’ of it in my Wazoo belt in the “secret” compartment, that way I always have 550 cord laces on my hiking boots and some kevlar cord secreted in my belt. The nice thing about stowing it in the belt is your don’t notice it as it’s around your waist. Great stuff Top! Keep up the Fire!

@STOKERMATIC 2 года назад

Outstanding!

@TAVAAR7 2 года назад

Theres a reason I carry 550, 275 and Kevlar cord in my kits. Dont have any bankline since it gets too hot where I am in the summer and it has a tendency to leave tar residue all over in the heat (hence the 275 cord). If you find kite handles on clearance or get them cheap somewhere they make good Kevlar cord keepers due to the smaller diameter, just have to strip the kite string off then wind on the kevlar.

@STOKERMATIC 2 года назад

great way to store your cordage!

@knot4man Год назад

For the toggle handles, try using a Marlinespike hitch. It works well and the toggle won't twist in your hands. It also capsizes into a regular slip knot.

@ib1ray 6 месяцев назад

This stuff is AMAZING! Thank you for the video. I'm looking into how to keep it from fraying if you're using a multi-strand cord. That's the only downside I can foresee.

@KOKO-uu7yd 6 месяцев назад

I've been looking into that too. I plan to try superglue, and maybe that uv glue? I have a project I really want to use it for, but it is challenging stuff to work with. My first challenging was just cutting it 😂

I worked with Kevlar belting before on a conveyor system used as drive belts for very long live roller systems actuated the drive belts with pneumatics. These Kevlar belts is not tracked properly could easily cut a hole in the side wall of the conveyor cut air lines and wires. We would fuse it together by cutting fingers and melting it with a small oven like cooler that got up to 300c. Any time the belt didn’t track properly it would make dust it is very abrasive. But very strong.

@topofhelist6592 9 месяцев назад

It does dry rot. With repeated use and exposure. It starts to crack after long term use but usually after a few years of constant use. I would assume that this line wouldn’t see the kind of use and motion a conveyor system running 16 plus hrs a day would see.

@stevefisher2121 2 года назад

@Based_Dept. 6 месяцев назад

My experience with kevlar and technora cord is that it frays just from handling it moving it around over time and even though it has a high strength rating some knots will cut through the cord and fail before it reaches the weight limit

@Gator-357 Год назад

I've been using Spectra for years. It's what Spiderwire is made of. 200lb test is the size of 30lb test mono and is great for just about anything around camp. It is expensive, as is Kevlar and there aren't really any low cost alternatives. Both are good to have around in small amounts for sewing, snares, etc.

@adventureswithfrodo2721 Год назад

Spectral has a melting point of 283oF. So if there is friction it will melt and nreak.

@buckcherry2564 Год назад

I meant to test out the kevlar line in Titancord XT for this. Always forget because I have a real wiresaw in my kit...but the Titancord would be the paracord AND this stuff with something like 1000lbs test, so all three in one. Also, it should be noted, with wiresaws you usually want to start below your elbows. It was kinda demonstrated in the video, but that will cut an angle up towards you and the tree will USUALLY fall away from you (anecdotal, this is just how it always goes for when I have done it). Not a guarantee so still watch out.

@ulperformance4087 Год назад

I've owned 200 test pound Kevlar line for about 8 months or so and more recently bought 300 test pound Kevlar line . Wasn't aware of it's cutting ability. I carry a roll of 65 ft. for hanging my tent from above and utility purposes.

@biranit50 6 месяцев назад

For the edges of the kevlar cord here is my idea: Slide an electrical shrink tube on the edge of the line or where you want to cut a piece, shrink it, cut the cord in the middle of the tube piece, add a little drop of "crazy glue" into the edge of the tube. You can leave the shrunk tube on or pull it off for easiesr splicing , if that is what you intend to do.

@jasonjohnson6344 10 месяцев назад

Did you experiment with how many cuts on a 3 or 4” log you could get before the cordage failed? It would be very interesting to know. Also if you can get cuts through a 6” log or bigger. Definitely a great hack for a backup to a folding saw that broke or got lost. Like you said, that cordage takes up no real space and having a spool along just in case…no brainer if you can get multiple cuts from a single 4’ piece. Loops tied in each end would have less waste too. Very cool idea. One of the best I’ve seen on RU-vid in a long time. 👏👍✌️

@TomNimmo Год назад

From a survival standpoint, calories burned using it as a saw>silky. Worth its carry weight. I would be more interested in how and if it could snare and was more chew resistant. Could it be used to make various primitive traps like ones I would have used paracord wound for a spring like affect in.

This cord looks like fun, but as a saw, as strong cordage it's expensive. Speaking for myself, the juice isn't worth the squeeze. It's super cool and if I was given some I wouldn't complain BUT for a tent, tarp or hammock it's just too expensive and just a dab of overkill - Pound for pound this cord is probably quadruple the price of all of my other gear combined, pound for pound.

It's not necessarily about specs, the thought that goes into picking equipment is always a balance of price, general usability aswell as specialised usability. I think having cordage like Kevlar, Dyneema ect is great to have handy for specialised use cases, but overall I will stick to paracord and bank line for most general purpose activities. Kevlar line is just way out of the price range to be cutting up, using and abusing the way most people use paracord.

It should not come to the detriment of my other tools, and definitely not one of my more important ones.
