Costly and Labor Intensive |
1) Heat resistant rope costs
approximately $1.00 per foot.
2) To make a 100 foot knotted search line you need 115 feet of rope, to make up for the
rope lost to knots.
3) That translates to $15.00 worth of extra rope.
4) The 100 foot RIT Rope Safety System costs $19.95.
That means the 100 foot RIT Rope Safety System nets out at $5.00,
and it is a MUCH better system. |
