I realize this may be slightly outside the bounds of "every day carry" but rest assured this backpack is always on/near me.
The things I have physically on me and basically all times are items: 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Everything else pretty much lives in the backpack and stays on me or in my car for access at a moments notice.
Here's a selection from the first page of results in the "ropes" subcategory of the Climbing section:

There are probably at least 100 similar listings.
There are not great options in that size. And they start getting expensive!
Ewa Michalak is probably the best of the brands. Their FB line is likely to fit Omega-shaped narrow and projected with close-set center full boobs. They also have a nursing bra (woohoo!), But it's not reccommended to invest in those till your boobs have settled.
You are getting into custom order territory for EM. So for sizing, you should probably communicate with them directly.
For lounging, you may have more luck Frankensteining a bra. I'm only a 30FF/G so I have no idea how effective this would be for you. What I do is find a non wired bra that fits on the boobs, then add a support to make the band more appropriate.
My method is to find a bra with a sheathed elastic underneath and replace the elastic with an adjustable insert. I like to use these hooks withthis kind of webbing. You can sew little slots along the webbing to make adjustments (I'm not really sure how to explain that part).
The Frankenstein bras are not really supportive, but they do keep the girls somewhat contained.
How many sets of flat, kingsize bedsheets does this guide think I have readily accessible in the event I need to escape a burning building?
260 feet of climbing rope is less than $90, and it seems a lot easier than scrambling for sheets and tying them together.
It's a bit expensive but I've ended up really liking it. And it also uses dynamic instead of static line -
http://www.amazon.com/Beal-Dynaconnexion-40Cm-80Cm-LDCO40-80/dp/B004R1KG9S
I was a little off in my first estimate of price due to already owned materials, but...
To make 4 flags, you will need:
price per flag: $14.85
Could you just drive a post in between the trees so you have a more reasonable distance to span? Either that or just invest in some really long straps and tie them really high up in the trees. 1-inch polyester webbing should be sufficient, 2 inches if you really want it to be extra-strong.
You can get giant sections of poly webbing on Amazon if you want, Dutchware even sells there apparently: https://www.amazon.com/Inch-Polyester-Webbing-25-Feet/dp/B01HQARJ0A
To answer your other question, longer straps won't really affect the stability of the hammock. Maybe if there's a tremendous amount of wind or something, but that causes problems for any hammock. It'll just be a giant pain to take the whole setup down if you want it out of the way.
How about a DIY harness solution? Works great for me!
Here's all you need:
10-12' of 1" webbing - Here's 30' and it's only $7.85 - get creative and use the extra for additional straps. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Strapworks-Heavyweight-Polypropylene-Webbing-Strapping/dp/B01KTVG0KI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536581470&sr=8-3&keywords=webbing&dpID=41Rlrv4YwXL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1&psc=1
And some heavy duty adjustable buckles - here's 10 for $8:
https://smile.amazon.com/10-Adjustable-Release-Plastic-Buckles/dp/B00DCZRLZW/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00DCZRLZW&pd_rd_r=a024606f-b511-11e8-bcdb-932140fb8169&pd_rd_w=2VDdD&pd_rd_wg=jlO0J&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf_rd_r=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053
I assume you have an o-ring. Cut two pieces whatever length you need (lightly burn the ends with a lighter to stop fraying), double loop them through the o-ring and attach the buckles. Then pick out your favorite coffee table, footstool, pillow, etc. Attach straps first, then slide flared toy through the o-ring and mount up.
If you go this route, let me know how it works out.
No it'll fray. Maybe if you do it with a hot knife, but, honestly, just pick up a spool of nylon strapping: https://smile.amazon.com/Strapworks-Heavyweight-Polypropylene-Webbing-Strapping/dp/B01KTVG0KI
Have you tried just searching online for nylon webbing?
Here's a large roll of it on amazon.
Here's a shorter section on ebay.
Here's a site that specializes in strapping.
Plenty more results from a quick search if that's the type you're looking for.
If you're looking to take your tricklining to the next level I'd go for a kit with two ratchets, shackles, and slings. Most of the big slack brands sell a kit like this and you really can't go wrong with any of them.
The Andy Lewis Trickling from Gibbon is a solid choice and it's currently $90 off on Amazon.
I just got my first sewing machine a Elna EL2000 and was wondering if it would be able to sew through nylon straps such as these.
Thanks

Fucking Savage
That looks like the front of your house. I’d make sure you don’t create an attractive nuisance or something that would attract kids to climb up and potentially hurt themselves.
If that’s not an issue some ideas:
Cranford EZY Climb Folding Rope Step 4 Pack
A rope ladder
Construct something from wood. Look on Pinterest for ideas.
There are a lot of products that hunters use to get into deer stands. There are also mountable platforms. Look up “deer stands” on amazon.
but it comes in fun colors
Could buy some buckles and webbing and make your own compression straps
Items used:
My Total: ~$150
It's hard to say how much time it took in total, but I'm guessing it took somewhere around 250 hours, maybe?
----
How I did it:
For the vest and arm-guards I used these foam mats which I got at homedepot.com, but I also spotted some at my local Big Lots.
I simply drew on the shapes, using a picture of a NCR ranger as a guide, then cut them out, painted them, and bam-shazam, finished. (The vest is held together with some this stuff and hot glue and the arm-guards are held on with that same rope-like stuff and velcro.)
And for the helmet I used a pepakura template printed onto card stock which I then cut out and glued together to make the a paper frame with the basic shape of the helmet. Next I coated the helmet in fiberglass resin, twice, before applying fiberglass cloth to the inside and coating that with more resin. After that I coated the entire outside of the helmet in Bondo body filler then sanded it down. This was to get rid of the jagged edges of the paper frame. I also added the dents at this stage. Finally, I used a rotary tool to cut out the ear hole, eyes, and mouth hole.
Once that was done I could move on to painting the thing. I coated the whole thing in a flat black spray-paint, inside and out, then used an olive green spray paint on the helmet.
The mask was a bit more complicated (probably unnecessarily so). With a disposable paint brush I applied a combiniation of a granite coloured spray-paint and and some sort of shiny, silver spray paint. (It actually worked really well, but I feel like there might have been a better way of doing it.)
Once all of the mask pieces (and damaged areas of the helmet) were painted grey, I attached the filter to the side with a nut and bolt through a hole that I drilled, and added the lenses, which came from a pair of ski goggles, using hot glue. I glued screen material (like the kind you would use for a window screen) to the inside of the filer, the ear hole, and the mouth hole so I could breath and hear in the damned thing, then put a little flashlight on the inside of the flashlight casing and glued those pieces to the side of the helmet after everything else was finished.
After that was the detailing. I enlarged some decals I found online, printed and cut out some stencils, then used white spray-paint and the stencils to get the numbers.
After that was done I could start to give it some age, dirt, and grime. I lightly sanded the newly painted helmet which was a little too shiny, and the numbers a little too crisp, then carved in the tally-marks on the side. Then I watered down a black acrylic paint and rubbed that over every surface with a paper towel, which took no time at all.
We're in the home stretch here...
Lastly was the rust effect. I lightly watered down some burgundy, brown, orange, yellow, and black acrylic paints and painted those on, being sure to use as little paint as possible and focusing on areas that would rust the most i.e. edges, corners, grooves, tally-marks.
For the trench coat I used a trench coat.
For the balaclava I used a balaclava.
For the pants I used pants.
No worries. You have a one ratchet setup. This is fine. You still have the long end. Without the ratchet. What you can do, invest towards a two teachers system. Half now, half later. Spanner, shackle, and ratchet should set you up for a good modular system moving forward.
http://www.absoluteslacklines.com/product/soft-detensioner/
That plus the jumbo ratchet is $60, then pick up one of their span sets for $20 and you have half of a trickline tensioning system.
There is also this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICHEILA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_x_s8OiybP6GCEGW
Still $40, and you'll be without a shackle and span set. Your $80 kit is as base as they come. So it'll be hard to match those prices.
Get on it!!
You can check Amazon.com or Brute magnetics if you're in the USA there's a ton of selection (I'd go with brute if you can!)
Otherwise, in Canada here's what I got:
Magnet: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07F7JKK83/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cord: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HML8T9D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Another great cord (longer): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07RGQ51QD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That's all you need. The rest is optional. 1 magnet and 1 cord. But, I'd go with some gloves at least.
The double sided ones say 800lbs for example, but that's a combined strength (400 on each side). Where as the ones with the hook on top that pull on one side only, they pull the weight it says.
Avoid thin rope, and make sure your cord can pull more (higher breaking strength) than the magnet can pull. I'd avoid premade kits like these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07QPLZC8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought it and the magnet is ok, but everything else is garbage. Go with a brute premade kit if you can. You also NEED loctite (red) to threadlock the thing from coming out of the magnet.
Edit: also here's my channel in case you wanna see it in action! https://youtu.be/6wTMJQiUjYo
Tucker's hitch and 15 ft of this stuff is what I have used for the past couple of years. I like cheap and easy... http://www.amazon.com/Country-Brook-Design®-Polypro-Webbing/dp/B001QL2C26
You could whip up some of the thicker "tree huggers" for even less.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008CD1826/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?qid=1449730194&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=2inch+webbing
Just tie the loops on the ends (you'll have plenty of extra material to play with). It's also really easy material to stitch together on a sewing machine if you want to make a for-reals set.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HML8T9D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
I just ordered that for the same magnet you bought. Can't speak from experience yet but the strength is just under double the max pull and it's specifically for magnet fishing. It has good ratings too.
​
Your boyfriend is right, it's another crazy hobby... but I promise once he sees what you start pulling from the waters he's going to want his own magnet!

Webbing. Probably polyester. Maybe nylon. What are the straps on/used for?
I did the same thing and used some paracord, like mentioned by others, it stretches and is not too kind to trees. A few weeks ago I broke open the piggy bank and spent 8 bucks on some polyester webbing straps, with that I had enough to make two sets. If you have questions on how I can show with pictures and stuff tomorrow.
I put this on my table. Attached by screwing some nylon webbing to the table, threaded with D-rings. If you go with the webbing, put a bunch of superglue on the webbing and allow it to dry first, that will make it more solid so you can screw through it without it binding up and shredding.
I bought one from Amazon. They have them up to 50ft long if that's what you're looking for. Mine is 15ft long and I hung it from my 12ft. garage ceiling and it's awesome.
1.5" Manila Gym Climbing Rope (1.5" x 15) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OS3NFO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_D3qJxbP0NG56Y
Rope
Yeah, I'd check out paracord 750 - The next step up from what you have, which is 5 mm in size. Although, only being 1 mm more, might not make a huge difference.
A lot of people use 1/4 inch (called para-max) which is like 6.4mm. You'd probably be ok with something like this - 1000lb tensile strength. Although that is below 1300, I don't understand what could be stronger than this, I've yet to see any higher than this, so maybe what I said about the rope being stronger is wrong. There's people out there with 3500 magnets, so idk wha they use besides steel cables haha: https://www.amazon.ca/Paracord-Planets-Tensile-Strength-Midnight/dp/B01GK7KW9A/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30JHU7OV8I4SH&keywords=1%2F4+inch+paracord&qid=1564660963&s=gateway&sprefix=1%2F4+inch+para%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-2
Here's what I got - It's still only 550 lb breaking strength but its 8 mm thick! Should make pulling a breeze! This is from Canada, so maybe search for something similar on the .com https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HML8T9D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This helped me a lot, it's a size comparison chart showing thickness up to 1/4: https://www.paracordplanet.com/cord-comparison-chart/
> lost 3.4k
> should I kill myself WSB?
If you're asking this after losing only 3.4k, you probably should at least try. But since it seems like you can't get anything straight the first time around, I found this for you so you can practice. They even come in some really happy, fun colors :)
Fail better next time, kid.
My personal favorite, and widely recommended, is the Gibbon Andy Lewis Signature Trickline:
https://www.amazon.com/Gibbon-Andy-Lewis-Signature-Trickline/dp/B00E6FFJVA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540382640&sr=8-1&keywords=andy+lewis+trickline
Next best options would be the Boss Line or the AGGRO Line from SlacklineIndustries imo:
https://www.amazon.com/Slackline-Industries-Boss-Line-Competition/dp/B073R2XVZX
https://slacklineindustries.com/collections/2-inch/products/aggro-line-kit
I'm working on some Halo Armor, and I'll be using Nylon Straps and Plastic Buckles to hold my pieces in place.
My intent is to glue (or otherwise fasten, depending on what holds best) the straps to the inside of the pieces, so I can put them on and clip them around whatever body part they're on (shins and chest/back, for example), or to clip pieces so they'll hold in place (mostly clipping thigh pieces to the belt to hold them up, and upper arm pieces to torso for the same reason).
It kinda depends on the piece, really. My forearm pieces more or less hold themselves in place by how well they fit around the wrist. I like the velcro tutorial posted here, too.
In the future if I move in a high story apartment I will buy one of this and a pair of riding gloves.
Even if I lost grip and fell to my death, I would be out with a splash.
Dude.
This is so helpful. Thank you. What did you go with as far as thread - like a tough nylon? I'm thinking that what I will need to do is go through the fabric of the jacket and some nylon strapping, kind of like this stuff. My current thought is to add a "back cinch" sort of similar to what SPES has done with their Hussar jacket: http://histfenc.us/design/_gallery/_orginal/313.jpg
Don't talk about it. Be about it.
Step up.
I have the dynaconnexion. It's the same one they use in the video. It has 2 clip in points 40 and 80 cm from the belay loop so I anchor in with the longer one and put my rappel device on the middle one. I weigh it, and unclip the anchor to rappel. [Here's the link, it's only a few bucks more than a PAS] (http://www.amazon.com/Beal-Dynaconnexion-40Cm-Slings-Webbing/dp/B004R1KG9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371303409&sr=8-1&keywords=dynaconnexion)
I just bought the same 1 inch webbing from Amazon, 25 yards for less than 8 bucks. You don't even need to stitch anything, just cut two yards worth of webbing and just do a figure 8 on a bight knot at the end of each. Bonus: you still got an extra 21 yards to play with.
My go to for attaching pieces is nylon webbing , when you don't need the authentic look. It's relatively cheap on Amazon and tough as hell, I keep my steel legs up with a nylon harness.
You could sew it into existing pieces, and attach it with tough plastic buckles.
http://www.amazon.com/Cranford-Climb-Folding-Rope-Step/dp/B0000AVZZ5
Try these as well. I use them when I bow hunt on public land where screwing steps into trees is illegal.
I used something similar to the following: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001QL2C26/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501376949&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=poly+webbing&dpPl=1&dpID=51Bau1rCvGL&ref=plSrch
Just search for poly webbing or something similar.
I made a very simple pattern in CAD and had it printed on 11x17 Tabloid Paper. The construction is fairly straightforward, I had two pieces of foam sandwiched in between the patterned fabric and some scrap denim I had laying around. Having the denim on the bottom layer provides some strength, as the strap doesn't go through the padding. The denim also feels very nice against the skin and will not slip around. Using some Bias Tape, I finished the edges of the pad. I used Uncle Mike's Quick Detach hardware for this. (I made another pad using Blackhawk hardware and those are a much lower build quality.)
As far as a 3 point sling, they seem like they would be pretty easy to make if you had the right hardware. I found it difficult to find information on the internet about how to create different loops with the webbing. Buying one of these will give you enough webbing to make just about all the straps and slings you would need.

This one?
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the route 44 brand of rope, for a 600 foot rope I haven’t seen anything nearly this cheap. Here is the Amazon link for the rope in question. I would only be using it for descending while canyoneering, and not for climbing (so it should always be static). Thank you in advance for the help!
This is too long, but you could put your bar through the eye splice.
Okay, try this. Get a length of flat nylon webbing long enough to stretch from your bathroom door to a solid anchor. Fasten one end to the bathroom door, the other to your anchor.
For a full, easy to use kit click here $60
or if you are willing to learn a couple basic knots and how to rig it with carabiners- line and youll need 3 of these
and setup the line so it's only a foot or so off the ground when you stand in the middle of it and have a friend who's hand you can hold.
Here is the desktop version of your link
The other amazon link is a great option, but if you aren’t afraid to learn a few knots, try this. If you cut it in half, you’ll still have 2 15 foot straps. I like to get at least 12ft but no more than 15.
Get some nylon webbing and some slides or tension locks and releases for the harness. For the pouches you could just use socks and fill them with something soft rather than an inflatable - its not like you're gonna be out on the town wearing that thing.
You could probably modify an old backpack for it too, if you dont have access to a sewing machine or a mom.
