Finding Break Cord
I'm having heckuva time finding 80 lb break cord online. I checked Para-Gear and either I'm looking in the wrong place, they don't sell it or they call it by a different name.

Anybody have any links to suppliers?

TIA

Just give any of the base manufacturers a call and they'll send you some. It's about 75 cents per yard.

Alternatively, I can give you a couple of yards if you're in Twin Falls this weekend. Or, in case you're not coming, tell any of the other Texas locals to come grab it from me and they'll bring it back for ya.

Look for "80 LB BREAK TAPE - MIL-T-5661".

P.S. 500 yards will last you and your crew a lifetime, so you might be better off to buy a few yards from a gear manufacturer.

Buy it from Apex or some other BASE gear manufacturer.

When Para-Gear was last asking for photo submissions for their new catalog cover they made a big stink out of saying, "We don't accept photographs depicting BASE jumping."

I heard you once saying you didn't want to be into anything requiring a SL...

Anyway, if you still need some, I can bring you a few yards in a few weeks. I got a lot of it at home.
