Im stuck in the middle east where there is a lot of soft sand and no good suppliers.
Ive loooked at someone sending me a snatch strap, but the more I read into them the more it seems its a very very simple product for me to source locally.
Most stnach straps are 10 to 18 ton break force, 8 to 15 meter nylon ropes that are 8 braid at roughly 22 to 28mm diamiter.
Medallion An 8-strand plaited rope made with 100% Nylon. This rope has superior shock absorbency and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent strength. Medallion meets MIL-R-24337 and CI-1303.
look at page 8 and 12 of this: http://pirate4x4.com/tech/billavist... Industrial Rope Catologue (Amsteel Blue).pdf
They then have a loop spliced into either end with a protective cover on the loops.
The interesting thing is that this is EXACTLY what you would use to moor a large mega yacht. All of the moornig lines I have found here have very very similar charisteristics to the comerical snatch straps.
With a 3 strand twist providing more strech than the 8 strand braid.
So has anyone gone out and bought some think nylon with the above ratings and built thier own snatch strap?
