I was screwing around, comparing climbing rope to wire rope to synthetic winch line breaking strengths. Came across the word "dyneema", which is the material that makes synthetic winch line so stupid-strong. I'm used to seeing the stuff used in outdoors equipment. So I searched "dyneema rope" and came up with West Marine -
West Marine sells Dyneema ropes by the foot quite a bit cheaper than the 4x4 specialist outfits do, like, $50 cheaper. So if you are willing to tie a knot in the end, this is a good way to save a buck. Just thought I'd share.
If you wanted to nerd out, like I usually do, you could re-spool a comealong with a smaller diameter but same-strength line & get more pull out of it.
Badass shoe laces.
Etc.
