I am thinking of a "Plan of Opperation". Setting up a Zipline to send 40-50lbs. SandBags of Ore down a 30* - 600' Hill side. My question is how fast will the bags be traveling and what size Rope should be used ? At the bottom of the hill is a 2 Foot round Yucca Tree about 6' tall I was thinking of tying the rope to the bottom of the tree and letting the sandbags hit the ground to stop but this would be violent to say the least but after all there just sand bags and the Ore needs Crushing.

Dennis That looks like a great deal but I didn't see the streatch per pound foot in the spec's that will be important for the distance you want to run, Don't forget to add in the weight of the rope to the load you plan !
