Nylon paracord or **0 paracord is invaluable stuff. Versatile, durable, lightweight and strong, it's up to pretty much any task—except it's not always the easiest thing to use in long lengths. Bulk spools of ***- and even 1,***-feet of paracord are great if you can leave them in place and unroll as needed, but when you need to move around with a hundred feet or more of paracord they're too heavy and too cumbersome to make for easy use.
