Nylon rope has a elastic factor that will allow the person towing u get a good head start in the process with out them selfs getting stuck.  The only thing guys you will need to learn to braid and tie a friendship not unless you are like me an con your wife to do it saying we are saving a $ 100 dollars doing t it by hand.

At work we use both static(no stretch) and dynamic(stretch) ropes for cliff and water rescue. You're right, these ropes are tough enough to tow vehicles with but can you actually pull hard enough by hand to utilize the kinetic energy? From my experience it takes alot of pulling force, 100s of pounds before the dynamics of the rope come into play. Is it the braiding process that reduces the force required? Post a pic...sounds interesting.
I was quite amazed at how much pulling power I can generate by hand with the Sno-bunje when just playing with it. Can't wait to get stuck so I can test it!
