Hi! So I know y'all are trying to sell that jute rope right now, but i was wondering if you could suggest a good hardware store in baltimore where a curious beginner/novice could pick up some nylon rope at pocketbook-friendly prices. Home Depot's selection is very limited and generally shitty. Any thoughts?? Also your blog--like the fact of your very presence in Charm City--is awesome.

We don’t work with nylon, so we couldn’t give you a decent answer.  I’m told that Wal-Mart sells nylon and cotton ropes at very reasonable prices.  I would also try Ace Hardware.  If you’re venturing outside of Baltimore, Harbor Freight has a wide selection of rope, including glow in the dark/UV reactant rope.

Another good bet is to head to LF&P when it comes to DC.  I know a ton of rope vendors go and have awesome rope, but it tends to be expensive.

Hope that helps.
