.:.I will be installing jack lines later this year and am following this
.:.conversation. Henry Marx of Landfall Navigation strongly recommends flat
.:.webbing, so that there is no chance of tripping. Alvah Simon, author of
.:.North to the Night, uses coated stainless steel wire so there will be no
.:.stretch whatsoever.

And some put the SS wire inside of the webbing, making it less likely to
roll under foot than bare wire, but having no stretch.
