I'm going blind on the interwebz trying to find this stuff. don't want nylon rope, or any other kind of rope. has to be Polypropylene Rope with eye splice. the eye splice needs to be the metal kind already braided into it on both ends. somewhere in the 20-25 foot length? I can't find it...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The eye is called a hard eye or thimble


Custom built ropes here...... https://www.knotandrope.com/collections/polypropylene-rope

They will add the eyes here..... https://www.knotandrope.com/collections/custom-splicing

The metal thimble eyes..... https://www.knotandrope.com/collect...cts/metal-thimble?variant=21648790716464


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Make your own. It’s super easy to splice.

Unless there is a liability concern.

Doing a 3-strand eye splice is insanely easy. You can google it if you've never done them. I can do them blindfolded behind my back, but that's from running boats over 25 years professionally...

You can get some polypro and a thimble at West Marine or most other marine stores.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but my curiosity is bugging me on this one. Your insistence on polypropylene puzzles me.
What advantage is polypropylene over nylon? If it's a moisture thing the trade off is photosensitivity. If it's a cost thing you will need a bigger rope to hold the same load.

nylon rope absorbs water and over time will not float. I need rope to float.


This is Not directed towards anyone here on ALDEER of course.

But, I figured this was gonna happen, LOL--this is like when you walk into Home Depot and ask one of the floor dudes..."can you help me find xxxx" (it can be anything you're looking for), the response is almost ALWAYS:

"Boy, what in Tar-Nayshun you doing?" or similar "what are you trying to do"? Does it freaking MATTER what I'm doing? I asked you for a 4 inch hex bolt. I might ram it up my ass, do you have one or not?
