This may be a dumb question,but…

[Nicholas Martin]

do you use grossgrain for pack straps? I know it is used for tarp/tent guyline tyouts….
just curious…
BTW…im learning to really love DIY gear supply….

Generally, no. It will slip in conventional ladderlocs. I think that ITW Nexus developed some that will not slip, but I just stick with nylon webbing.

Edit:
Found it

i was trying to consolidate an order…but i just wanted to make 100% sure before i went and ordered a bunch of it…although ill probably use it somewhere down the line…
Thanks!

[Michael Duke]

No problem. I'd suggest using webbing on straps anyway. It is not worth the minimal weight savings if the grosgrain were to fail.

that site is like buckle heaven.

I believe they make the buckles. The minimum order is very, very high. It is not a distributor.

they have a distributer about 30 min from me…maybe i can go to the warehouse and shop!
