Rapid Rope on ABC's Shark Tank

Chris started Rapid Rope with an idea and a dream 8 years ago, and now we are in front of 5 sharks waiting to hear our fate!! 

The third time was a charm for us applying to the shark tank! We submitted our application in February but then decided to attend an open call. We made a very last minute decision for Chris to fly to an open call in Kentucky to do a live pitch. He arrived at 4 AM to be one of the first people in line. He did the pitch and headed home waiting for a few weeks to hear if we were moving on! We were just one of 40,000 people that apply each year.

shark tank casting

Over the next few months we survived the mounds of paperwork, the stress of advancing through each stage. We went through months of uncertainty just hoping we would be able to pitch to the sharks.

We took a group of youth to Africa to serve and build a house and while we were there we got an email that we had been chosen to film. We had to find a printer, sign the paperwork and get it back to ABC within 48 hours. We were beyond excited!

paperwork

We spent several months doing more paperwork and preparing our pitch.

In September we were notified that we would be heading to California to do our pitch.
We sat in the on-deck room hearing the commotion of the pitch before us and I swear we blacked out! Everything is a blur!

There is a great story about a stump. But that’s for another day!

Walking down that hallway was the most nerve wracking, most surreal moment of our lives. Seeing the faces of the sharks and realizing this was our big opportunity to make our dream a reality hit us like a ton of bricks. Geanie was just trying to remember her name and where she was from.
We filmed for about an hour. (It’s edited down to about 8-10 minutes) We laughed, we cried and we may or may not have got a deal!!

I don’t think we talked for an hour after. We just took it all in. Our heads were spinning and we couldn’t process what just happened!

Our goal was to be ourselves, make our family proud and stick to our core values and beliefs and let it all fall into place. Our main drive at making our company successful is to be able to give back. We believe that if we live our passion and make our community, state, country and world a better place than we have done our part.

#1 in my book

We have used this product for years. It’s in our hunting buggies, backpacks, tool boxes, wife’s glove box and anywhere else we can think of. Great product would not change a thing. On top of that great, wonderful customer service
Thank-you

...Wish I would have bought it sooner...

This is the best rope on a general use basis I have ever seen. It has so many uses.
Thanks Rapid-Rope for such a great product...-theautojunkie-

What a handy dandy canister of rope

Received Rapid Rope one Christmas from very good friend. Been using this product ever since. Home, work & play. Needed it on my tomatoe plants lately.

Just finished my canister

I just finished my first canister of rapid rope. I've used this rope for a million things already and it did the job every time. To name a few things I used it to build a make shift raft for fun while on a hike. I used it to store my food up in a tree on the same hike. I used it to fix my clothes line temporarily. Hell I doubled it up a few times and pulled a car out of the snow. The options are endless. Throw it in your car, backpack, or on the boat you will be glad you did.

Made Strong!

Took this camping just like I always do, but this time the kids got one of their balls stuck in a tree. The only safe thing I had to throw up there to knock it down was my can of Rapid Rope. Holding the rope (in case the can got stuck), I tossed the can in the tree, first three attempts missed and the can fell to the ground, hitting pretty hard, but no cracks, dents, or even scratches. This is some tuff stuff! Oh, and I was able to retrive the ball.

Handy and strong

I gave these as gifts and had to get refills because they were utilized and appreciated so much. From simple bit of rope for a small project to helping support a tree after planting. The tree is supported to grow straight while the root base is taking hold. Also the color helps the visibility of the rope.

Pulled a truck off the beach

My son got his Tahoe stuck in the sand at the beach. We doubled this up and were able to pull his truck out with another 4wh drive! Nobody thought it would hold up to that kind of weight but it held with no problem.

The man who runs this company is a rich asshole who thinks because he has a successful business he can treat people like trash

Great portable tangle free cordage

This was the last of my 70 foot utility rope. I used the rest backpacking and setting up a rain tarp. This has been wonderful and tangle free option for packing with my littles.

I like that the rope is in a container for easy storage. I got the rope to carry in my ATV just in case I need it out on the trail.

Rapid rope mini

I’ve had the regular sized cans a few different times. I got the minis to keep in every truck and to keep in my pack for hunting and it’s the best for securing loads, hanging game meat, or fixing things in the backcountry
