Thanks Mac! My favorite rope is natural hemp but I don't have a whole lot to compare it to. I've used various polyurethane and ethylene ropes but hemp looks and smells the best and holds knots relatively well. I prefer 6 or 8 mm, 10-15 ft sections for wrists/ankles and 30-50 ft sections for harness work depending on the size of the partner. Rope is my favorite but I definitely like tape or cuffs to shake things up or if I'm trying to go for a spur of the moment/ "kidnapping" scene. I don't have experience in many other materials but I am always open to trying new things if ever I got the darn opportunity, haha
