Do ropes tighten up before a storm?

Baloo55th

Natural fibre ropes will tighten in very wet weather, we are taught, and so guyropes on tents should be slackened before rain. Synthetic ropes should not suffer from this, but a lot of people still slacken off just in case Sorry I can't provide anything more scientific than scout lore. I wish my tambourines and bodhran didn't get SLACKER when the air is damp. Dec 21 02, 8:56 PM
