Thread: What rope

are you talking dynema/plasma as a winch extension, 10mm or 12mm will do. I brought two winch ropes, one fo rthe winch and the cut in two for winch extensions

here is my thread........no sure if I mentiond in the thread but I didn't buy from where I said

how i selected my a synthetic rope

No, run of the mill nylon rope.

What? for use with your Tifor - I thought they are wire rope on as the "jaws" will chew nylon/plasma rope to pieces.

I assumed winch extension.......I would only ever load up plasma rope and not any old nylon

Allow me to clarify,

Tifor has 20 m steel wire, recovery bag has another 20m plus snatch strap. I was thinking a length of rope, say 50m could be handy when the anchor point is just that too far away. And it's cheap & light. Even doubled over it would give me an extra 25 m, or 60 m in total.

Ok - so essentially a winch extension strap. Why not just by a winch extension strap, they come in different lengths, can be joined and are rated.

If you specifically want rope then it needs to be rated - I guess the same as the wire rope. To be safe I would use plasma/dymeea rope as it is rated and easy to get. You would have to go to a specialist rope supplier to get rated "normal" nylon/poly rope.

I consider the off the shelf extension straps but they are more bulky than plasma

A plasma extension strap can also be used with a snatch block.
