Actually some synthetic fiber ropes are stronger than steel cable of the same size now. I off road and use synthetic fiber rope on my winch instead of steel cable now as most other folks do too. In competition rock crawling it's now a requirement for reasons of safety. It's lighter, safer, easier to handle etc.
For the pic, that rope looks to me like it's the regular poly rope like the stuff so popular for water skiing.
No matter what it is that is one determined bear. Now if he could just learn to walk it like a high wire act. LOL
I got these pics a few years back from a carving site.
That rope is really strong, but that bear is probably only about 150lbs.
And as for the squirrel????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dessert !
Bear
It could also be a squirrel in a Bear suit, because Squirrel season is open now, but Bear season doesn't open until next month. Pretty smart little rodents!
