LoopRope® Tie Downs Now Retailing at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center of Zion National Park, Utah
The Zion Canyon Visitor's Center at Zion National Park in Utah is now selling the LoopRope, the safest and most adaptable cargo securing rope system ever. Zion is a mecca for travelers and there is no better traveler accessory than the LoopRope.
Online, April 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Known for its visitor center building that's sustainable, energy-efficient, and integrates natural features to blend with its surrounding beauty, the Zion Canyon Visitor's Center at the South entrance of Zion National Park, Utah has a new, advantageous retail product selling that's known as the LoopRope™ . A cargo tie down and safer replacement for traditional bungee cords , hikers and campers at Zion National Park will be impressed to find out how many handy applications the LoopRope can fulfill. The makers of the LoopRope are delighted to announce its first entry into a national park's visitor center store, especially due to knowing that it will be sold and utilized for the purpose of "leaving no trace" on the national park.
Noticed by members of the Zion Canyon Visitor's Center at the March 2013 APPL Conference (Association of Partners for Public Lands) due to its eco-friendly applications for hiking and camping, the LoopRope falls in line with the Zion Canyon Visitor's Center's aim to sell products that promote sustainability and the protection of Zion National Park's natural environment. Drawn to the product by a picture of a LoopRope being used as a clothesline between trees, members of the Zion Canyon Visitor's Center realized that by selling LoopRopes in their visitor's center store they could avoid the harmful practice of campers hammering nails into campground trees in order to hang up personal items. By utilizing the LoopRope along with its included, handy LoopClips, campers can now safely attach the LoopRope between trees as a clothesline or attach the LoopRope around trees as a place to hang items like food bags that campers wish to suspend off the ground. Because the LoopRope has adjustable attachment points and connects to itself using the included LoopClips, no harm to trees is done by wrapping LoopRopes around tree trunks or between adjacent trees.
The LoopRope for campers and hikers can be used for a multitude of other uses within the park too, such as securing gear to your hiking backpack; keeping your rolled-up sleeping bag tightly coiled; tying down gear in your RV, truck, or the cargo space of your car; or hanging up your water bottle by clipping it to a LoopRope wrapped around a tree or fastening it to your backpack by using the LoopClip. Plus, in compliance with the Zion National Park's rules about pets, the LoopRopes being sold inside the Zion Canyon Visitor's Center are all 5' ropes that can double as dog leashes when engaging in pet-friendly park activities like hiking the Pa'rus trail, which requires hikers to walk their dogs on a leash that's less than 6' long.
The makers of LoopRope are particularly honored by this first inclusion in a national park's visitor center store due to national park stores not being anything like a standard retailer. Instead of behaving like standard retail stores that focus on profits by including any and all products that a consumer would possibly want to buy, national park visitor center stores are specifically concerned with selling products that promote sustainability and harmony with the surrounding natural environment. Each product sold in a national park visitor's center store is researched for its applications towards promoting sustainable behaviors that not only assist and please the customer, but also serve to enhance the experience that hikers and campers have while enjoying and protecting the beauty of our nation's national parks.
The term "leave no trace" is well known by conservationists nationwide and serves as a standard for ethical and sustainable treatment of the natural environment-as in to literally leave no trace of a hiker or camper having ever been there so that the next person doesn't encounter signs of human occupancy in natural outdoor places. The LoopRope assists in this goal by being self-attaching and posing no harm to trees (as nails do), by leaving no bits of trash behind (such as worn out rope pieces that get left behind after being used as clotheslines do), and by keeping campers and hikers safe when tying down or wrapping up their hiking and camping gear (because traditional bungee cords are known for snapping back and causing injuries to the user).
Looking forward to being considered by other national park stores based on the ecological merits of their product, the makers of the LoopRope happily anticipate assisting other hikers and campers across the nation to be more sustainable, more organized, safer, and happier due to the LoopRope's ease of use and how fast it is to secure items within its many applications.
The LoopRope is made of one continuous piece of shock cord fastened together to create permanent loops. Each LoopRope comes with two dual-sided, stainless steel carabineers called LoopClips. One 5-foot LoopRope gives you 10 custom tie-down lengths and over 18 attachment points. Use it everywhere; it's secure, fast, and easy. Users are discovering many different ways to secure all sorts of items: check out video examples at the website: www.looprope.com. LoopRope: tie downs made easy!
