Home Forums Gear Horses and ATV's Hemp rope vs. synthetic

I do use a non man rated line that is about indentical to static line for lead ropes and such. Also use it as a high line, but I have to use a small com-a-long at one end of the hgh lineto keep it taut. I still prefer the hemp for lash ropes and tent guy ropes

With one mule,I need to use chain when I am out hunting.She chews lead ropes like they are candy. More than once I have come back and found her grazing around the other mules, with a foot of lead rope attached.

I have tried the no chew stuff, chili powder and tabasco on them with out much luck. She doesn't mind them. Me, I foregt it is on the lead rope and handle it when it's wet. Then I go to take a whiz with that stuff on my hands and end up junmping around like turpentined cat from that stuff getting trasnferred on to my ******. YEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
