I'm working on putting together a small BOB for work use and have been looking at different kinds of cord to put in there. Paracord is very popular (I have some myself) but I'm wondering is it the best choice? Its quite strong, too strong for most general purpose uses (ie general tying things together) and not strong enough to hold a persons weight, yet its still quite bulky. Im wondering if some 1mm or 2mm cord/ twine and then some 5mm or 6mm rope would be better, the small stuff for general purpose tying (smaller size means more cord in the same space/ weight) and the 5mm or 6mm for heavy duty tying and to hold bodyweight in an emergency
