You have to see this before you load up your rack with these and use them without thinking.

Hey Guide_Hater... I want to thank you a bunch for posting this link. My partner and I were just discussing nylon versus dyneema. I've always used nylon in all my runners, sewn and knotted. The Grouch points out that the rope is dynamic, and yes it will reduce the amount of force that the runner will see... but I like redundancy. I figure the more dynamic load absorption in a system the better. Your video just convinced me that I've always been on the right path. I'm sticking with my nylon runners and slings. Really some great infromation and thanks again for posting that link.

your rope is dynamic, that video was specific to shock loading a static system with dyneema. Dyneema works great for over the shoulder slings and alpine draws. Lighter and take up less space on your rack.
