I think they mean a line weight which is a lead lined blanket usefull for making sure the line doesnt kill your spotter if it snaps

Do jackets count?

still not a bad idea, I mean, sure, you won't get cut, or killed by synth line, but I bet it'd still hurt

the idea is simply that putting weight on the line will cause the line to fall to the ground, and hopefully recoil, if any, will be straight back, as opposed to letting it be erratic and having no idea where the line is heading should it snap.

nope.. I have a 14-16 foot log chain I use and have used for years, pull forklifts, i ton trucks,  if it does break (which would take an act of GOD)  it will fall straight down.  the links absorb the recoil.  it isn't a whimpy trailer chain.  it's a no shit CHAIN.  next time I see you I'll break it out.  here is a pic

fyi: that will not be allowed as a tow strap on most other ec4wda runs, every club that I'm aware of will require a fabric strap, with sewn loops on the ends, no metal hooks.

just like you got a cb, i'll get that tow strap.  but I'm going to opt for my chain until someone says somthing.  I've seen too many of them damn things break windshield, windshield pilliars, etc...
