Hey all,
I have been using a 7/8' Bubba rope for a few years now and I finally managed to damage it a few weeks ago in Anza pulling some folks out of the mud (I'm leaning to never go off trail with anyone whom does NOT have recovery point on their rigs). I love the kinetic recovery ropes and want to replace it, but with other options out there has anyone used Yamkum? Only reason I'm looking to change is the Yankum rope thickness is 1-1/2" (piece of mind) for a 26000 pull and the they have a protective sleeve that you can use in the middle to cut a 30' rope down to 15' rope for tight pulls.
Price is also an issue. The Bubba is $209 and the Yamkum is on sale for $458 (ouch)
Any thoughts on either one?
This is the Bubba rope I have used for years:
