Default Synthetic Rope

Since I could not find a light bar that I liked I decided to put that off for the time being and order some synthetic winch rope. Since my cable got kinked last time I was out due to some bonehead not respooling under enough load before leaving on a trip.

It still looked ok but I figured better safe then sorry plus I was looking for an excuse to replace the cable anyway. For some reason cable just scares me but I didn't want to replace it w/o a good reason.

Anyway I digress. Never having used Synth Rope other then dragging it out for other people I have a question. Do you have to spool synth rope under load like you do the cable since it's technically soft and will squish anyway? I've got a long and steep enough driveway just nothing really to secure it to other then some way small trees and I don't think I want to use my Mazda 3 as an anchor.

Other then that I'm pretty amazed that something so light and flimsy looking can be so strong.

Thanks for any pointers
