Ultimate Survival Cord

[R.A.T.]

It will hold knots...in fact too well

We are working on upgrading our basic survival kit with better tools, more tools, etc. This stuff may find a place in the kit.

That sounds ...... good.

this line seems interesting for mini kits where 550 would be a bit bulky. don't think i'd want it for a knife lanyard tho.

however, i'm curious about "fishing bank line". trot lines are not common out here, because you're limited to the number of hook/line/pole combos you can have in the water. the game wardens probably wouldn't approve of multiple hooks on one line with no pole, even tho without a pole it's probably within the letter of the law.

i searched for "bank line" on basspro.com and didn't find anything. i'm familiar with mason's line, but don't know if that's the same as "bank line" or not, and googling for "fishing bank line" didn't prove very enlightening. if someone could post some more info on that i'd be interested.

Google "tarred nylon twine."

That's why they have 'slippery' and 'toggled' knots.

Google "tarred nylon twine."

I bought 2 different weights of tarred (bonded) nylon twine from Jann's Netcraft and it wouldn't hold knots worth a damn, at least for my application - netted sling pockets.

Just curious what your first eruption was about. Are you opposed to E&E or something!?

EDIT: Reading stuff today and now I understand. Nevermind.

I'm all for all types of escaping and evading, beats fighting.

the umbilical cord is the ultimate survival cord but that stuff seems second best :thumbup:

One of the best field rope is the 550 cord which has been used and tested by the military themselves. The 550 cord was first used as an for connecting the canopy of a parachute to the soldier or navy seal when diving out or ejecting out of an aircraft.

For every survival kit, you’re going to need 550 cord. It is composed of an outer durable nylon sheath with 7 smaller strands inside that allows it to hold up to 550 pounds.

how does it compare to say Lash-It or Amsteel Blue? It looks similar from the picture they have on the site.

It definitely reminds me of the smaller diameter Samson Amsteel.

My lash-it holds knots pretty well. I will probably buy some just to have more cordage....Can never have too much...
