Because the rope world is filled with innovative types, MattP, a wicked-fast rigger from Minneapolis talks about his new company "Karma Rope", which uses a pay-what-you-can model for off-the-spool hemp and jute so that everyone can get a taste of quality rope. Matt and Gray talk about more than just marketing, though - they discuss how the open-source model can work to help the community along with several other kinky topics, including the weather!
