Lengths of cordage you take on walkabout or have in your kits?

<< < (2/3) > >>

PEARL DRUMS:
25' feet of 1/4" 100# rope is always in my pack.

okiecountryboy:
I have mostly the same 20-30' of paracord, with a little twist, i.e. 9-cord.
1 roll of this stuff can be used in many ways. I use it at work for securing power, fiber, catV, and catVI.
If anyone out there was in communication service installation or electronics in the Navy will know what I am talkin about.

I ran lan line through a carrier once. As I recall the cord was waxy? Dont remember the color though. 

okiecountryboy:
Sleek
Yup Waxy, Strong as hell. Color, just plain-o white.
It ranks above nylon for a bow string in a pinch. No stretch that is.
Great for throwing a shelter together quickly in bad weather, and anything else left to only your imagination (Just like paracord).
I have seen 2" thick copper stranded cable tied down with this stuff 2 decades old...still strong as hell.
couldn't do without it.

_Jon_:
50 feet of 550 para cord.   :)
