Thanks, Karen. That's absolutely true. Among its many other superb attributes, UHMWPE is one of the best dielectric materials.

When making off field rope recoveries, often the best solution is to cut the rope wherever it's convenient to do so and bring it back in bundles. Trying to get it back in one piece can be more trouble than splicing it back together again.

Plastic rope weighs so little one person can carry it all. If you have some drawstring canvas bags, just dumping the rope into the bag hand over hand results in being able to just pull it out again without tangles. Making rope coils cowboy-style does tend to produce tangles.

When you get it back on the field, spend some time figuring out why the winch couldn't pull it all in before it got off field. This is not a problem which should happen if everything is working right.
