Greetings! I am a new member and also the sales manager at Redden Marine
www.reddenmarine.com/amsteelblue
I wanted to extend a special discount to our forum community on amsteel blue. We have all the colors in 7/64" and 1/8" sold by the foot flat rate shipping for a few hundred ft is 4.95 USPS and also carry the Zing it and Wing it 1.75mm x 180'.. You can get 7/64" for 14.5 per ft and 1/8" for .23 per ft.. Use coupon code=BPL at checkout! I hope it helps save everyone a few bucks! Thanks for all the great advice you all have given me.
Happy Holidays

You should also post this in the Philmont forum as a lot of Philmont crews are starting to use Amsteel Blue. I brought 300' from Redden earlier this year for our crew going to Philmont in 2010.

That would NOT be appropriate, and I have deleted the Philmont posting. Commercial offers may only be made in this channel.

Not sure how to do that but thanks for the idea, how did Redden do on that shipment?
Many thanks!

Because of the nature of this offer, I've moved the thread to Gear Deals.

Thank you!

In case anyone is wondering... for 300 feet of 7/64" the code saves you <3US$ on the ~$45 order.

He does have the best price for 7/64

Looks like the OP has it for sale for 0.15/ft the discount drops it a bit lower:

http://www.reddenmarine.com/marine-supplies.cfm/multipurpose-amsteel-blue/samson-rope-amstlblu764/amsteel-blue-7-64.html

So regardless of the minimal discount perhaps this is the lowest price you can find?

I did a quite a bit of google'ng to find the best price and Redden Marine was the best at the time. A bit pricy on shipping - $12.95 prority mail. I don't remember if that was the only option or I needed it quickly for a Crew hike.

head over to

www.hammockforums.net

a ton of the guys there uses some form of amsteel blue for their hammock suspensions...

I bought a 165 feet of 1/8" and the shipping was $4.95 priority mail. Was here 2 days after I ordered. They seem to be good folk to work with.
