Cordage is one of the most important items to include in you survival preps. It is listed as one of Dave Canterbury's 5C's of Survivability. There is literally too many uses for cordage to list. (don't worry, I will name some of them) Para-cord, aka 550 cord, is the most practical and useful cordage variant. I suggest adding some fishing line too but para-cord is where it is at. Simple 3-strand 165 lb test crodage is handy too. What can I use para-cord for?
