I have a bunch of it that I got off of job sites and most of it is stained from Georgia red clay or grey from concrete dust so I bet it would take die pretty well. Go "value added" comment. Thanks for posting it
+BluegrassBushcraft it ranges from around 1250lbs - 3800lbs I think. Way more than you need for a hammock or tarp ridge line or hoisting something heavy. It can't replace 550 for everything but it sure can for some things, lol ATB
+The Last Grownup in the Woods well thank you ma'am. A car kit would be a good place to have some. A buddy of mine said he knows there is 6000 lb rated so they must make it much stronger than I knew about
David from Highcarbonsteel Love suggested that I stop over and visit your channel. I come here and what do I see? You comparing mule tape... lol. I have been using mule tape for years. I love the stuff. The problem being is that the supplier of mule tape has left the area and I am looking for more. But the fact that I ran into another mule tape user.... I subbed you.
I got some 6000lb from a guy not long ago (30') and a Hank of 1250lb (100') . It comes in a wide variety and in general is much smaller diameter than a rope of equal strength. Thanks for coming by brother
i have wondered about this stuff John...i think this stuff would be great for hanging my hammock...the nylon tape that came with my DD hammock is seven years old now and showing some wear...thanks for the tip brother!...woods
Instead of tying a bunch of over hand knots to make a daisy chain, learn to tie an alpine butterfly loop. Much more secure and easy to untie after being loaded. Better yet, learn the Becket hitch or marlin spike hitch. Allows infinite adjustability versus having to clip to a loop that's possibly 6 inches or more too long or short
Thanks brother. If you watch for telecom companies doing underground cables you can often ask the crews for some mule tape and they will let you have some
Agreed this stuff is AWESOME!!! can be called OX strap depending who you talk to... Talk to a local telephone line crew.. you may be able to score a good size hank for free.. Great Video!!
+Prepping2endure lol, I have gotten a lot of it from underground crews. I saw a spool on the side of the interstate once but I was really late for an appointment and when I went back it was gone
Thanks for watching it. I use this stuff for my hammock straps and ridge lines now. There is something my buddy found found called AMSTEEL or something that's even better. It's Paracord sized but as strong as mule tape. I'm not sure on the name but it's something like that
This is one hell of a GREAT video . 550 paracord is WAY over rated . Try pulling out the inner threads when freezing rain is pouring down . My cordage kit & fishing line kit is already made . 100 feet of 20 & 8 pound test fishing line - 100 feet of mule tape - 50 feet of common sisal bailing twine which is biodegradable and super cheap & 100 feet of tarred bank line / 300 pound test = Weighs less than 2 pounds . Thanks Mr. Tewelow . I'm sharing your video with friends . Lefty Cat in Northern New Mexico .
That's really kind of you to say brother and I sure do appreciate it. It makes me feel good to share info and learn new stuff from people in our outdoors community Thanks for watching too
For those asking why they only find 1000ft rolls, i actually found a website called paracordgalaxy dot com that sells in 100ft and different lb capacity for about $6. Don't know the reputation of the website but i did find one that sold it in more average consumer lengths.
John Tewelow no problem, I actually heard of mule tape from an outdoor channel and wondered what the hell it was. I didnt know this stuff was soo strong, I may have to get some just to have around. I usually try to keep some cordage around and keep 100ft cheap paracord in my car just incase I need it.
Here is a bit of information you not know. If you can find where they are installing communications cable ( i.e. phone, cable, fiber optics), good chance they will have some just laying around that they have already used. And a good chance, if you ask, they will let you have for free. Used it when I was doing communications work, and most of the time, the company discards it after use.
Wendell Harrell I love this type of "value added" comment. I think I gave the same advice in an earlier reply. I have scored big doing this. I got some 6000# rates from a power company guys once a while back
Wendell Harrell me too. I fpumd out about this stuff when I helped with a Bell South fiber optic upgrade. I have found it 1 or 2 times at hardware stores but most of what I have was scavenged from work sights. they would rather use new lines to do a pull them have it break in an underground pull with 20' left before the cable is out of the other end of the pipe
I work for a telecom company and we pull on average 6000 feet of this out daily and it just goes in the trash. Takes to long to set it up to use it again and no one wants to pay someone to roll it up.
+Renaissance MarineTV in the Atlanta area they are doing some underground cabling upgrades or something and sometimes I get lucky and talk em out of some but you can find it on EBay and Amazon too. The new hank in the video is from a salvage store
550 cord is like Maglites. It used to be cool when everything else was much, much worse. Now both exist because customers don't know any better. Amsteel, Dyneema and other cords are far fucking superior. Mule tape is also very cool.
My buddy has Amsteel hammock hangers that make me a little jealous. I get hanks of mule tape for free sometimes and I love the stuff. Thanks for that "value added" comment. People may look up the cordages you mentioned and find better stuff for their packs
+MI Timberwookie a guy on a forum I am a member of saw this vid and is getting me some 6000lb mule tape from his work. Wow, I had no idea it came that strong. Super tough is right brother
+embarado smithing and woodcraft I looked around and found this on EBay www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmule+tape.TRS0&_nkw=mule+tape&_sacat=0
Brother this is right up my alley...I want some ...where Do I get it...? I'm checking the internet right now...I'm wanting to get into the hammocks and this has got to be it! White ain't no problem because I want to see that darn decapitation cord at night anyway...lol. Perfecto! The usual ratings for wieght from what I understand is the weight they say is safe multiplied by 3 for their safety...example a tree stand rated for only 250 lbs is actually able to hold 750 lbs...that stuff rated for 1800 lbs is insane and I am well under 300 lbs even when bouncing...lol.
+ManLand121 (Midnight121) lol brother "even when bouncing" here is an eBay link www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.Xmule+tape.TRS1&_nkw=mule+tape&_sacat=0
+ManLand121 (Midnight121) here is link for a hammock. Shipping thakes for ever but I have bought a lot of stuff from here cuz they are really cheap on about everything www.wish.com/m/c/54ff0d8d1c36ca02835f1544
This stuff is definitely better than paracord especially for a ridgeline . A paracord ridgeline will stretch over time and throw off your excellent hang .
I have collected 1000s of feet and I use it for all kinds of stuff. Hammock straps, ridge lines, dog leashes I even pulled an SUV out of a ditch by wrapping a 6 or 7 strand loop from his hitch to my toe hook. I love this stuff
now john the answer is both are better than the other only at different things the tape will lift a 2500 lb log p cord wont but try to gut tape to stitch your self or catch a fish don't work do it i rite this before i watch the vid the answer is put a couple hundred feet of each in the pack and have best of both
+embarado smithing and woodcraft agreed brother, but on the stiching thing, I tried to stitch up a cut once. ONCE. Now I carry superglue and duct tape, lol
Mule tape is common around here, but, no, I'd never even consider replacing 550 with mule tape. Mule tape is excellent stuff, but not nearly as good for the great majority of bushcraft tasks as 550. If I need something stronger than 550, though I have no idea why I would, I'd just move up to 1100 paracord. Paracord has far more important uses than Mule tape ever could. If it doesn't, you aren't using it to anything like its full potential.
+James Ritchie please re-read the title. It says "is it better" I said in the video that I do carry 550 and I also carry jute but I wouldn't hang my hammock with 550. I wouldnt use 550 on a flip flop wench either. They all have their place and if you carry rope, the stuff from Home Depot takes up a lot more room and is heavier for a fraction of the weight rating. Of course not everyone carries rope or foresees a use for rope. Another example might be a leg snare for a pig or lowering a heavy load down a steep hill. Thanks for watching brother
I'm so confused because I can't find this stuff anywhere. On Amazon when I type mule tape or mule tape 100ft stuff for $75 comes up. Could someone share a link to get this for $5 please? Thanks!
+John “survivor johnny” Tewelow Thanks, man! But shipping is $13 so it comes out to about $20. Not crazy expensive but definitely not $5. Maybe mule tape has just gotten too popular recently!

Mule tape...you are right I have never heard of it. 1800 lbs. is amazing. Neat idea for the hammock. Thanks for the information. Take care, friend.

+MTwoodsrunner I love it for a hammock when you tie loops down the length to make a daisy chain. It's pretty cheap on EBay too. Thanks brother
