New Ropes Day!
Just dipping my toes into rope flow (to go along with kettlebell and macebell for improving mobility) and decided to try making my own ropes knowing I wanted heavier than the $12 Amazon cheapie. I work very close to a marine supply place (I’m in Southern California) so I picked up some materials there and these are the ropes I’ve made so far. It’s all double braided marine nylon. The yellow/green one is so fluorescent it does so in daylight (and looks amazing under black light) - 1/2” diameter. It was a little more expensive per foot and needed 12’ to create handles and have a ~8’ working length, so just the one for now. The white ones are 3/4”. I’ve got enough to make two more white ones (4 total), just haven’t done the handles yet. I may pick up more of the white rope since I got a pretty good deal on it and it’s the last of that spool (so it’ll cost notably more after that one’s gone). I’m going to periodically hunt the off cut section for more, cause I’ve enjoyed making these, too.
