Good rope is made out of hemp and is used for hanging politicians and other assorted criminals & miscreants!

Always twine in the fanny pack. Worked wonders while gutting a fair size bull elk alone. As George Burns said though, it'd tough to push.

Sometimes we discuss the simple things here. Man...I love good rope. Since that appears to be on a dock and apparently intended for boat use, it's "line". Just sayin'.

Didn't someone quote the line about rope from the Boondock Saints? It was in the recent movie line thread. That scene made a good argument for rope.
I'm a 550 cord guy myself.

A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Is that the great stuff made of nylon or that cheap substitute called polypropylene that self destructs in sunlight?

The only thing I like more than a good hank of rope is the Simpson capstan winch I use to pull it.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

It's amazing how much BAD rope is out there...
Two things we used on the blimp back in the day that I still have some of... one is a flat cord that is urethane-impregnated and simply will not come untied... ever... and is really strong for the size... amazing UV resistance and as long as you plan ahead on your knots it's amazing stuff. If you don't plan ahead flat cord makes messy looking knots... I keep a 8' section in my hunting pack, you could hang an elk with it... probably.
Second one is this stuff I'm an idiot for not having more of... it's a silky-feeling, light tan Kevlar rope about 1/2" diameter that does not stretch, is very polite to work with, and is ridiculously strong. It was some sort of aeronautical-grade uber-rope. I remember that is was obscenely expensive because there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth around the blimp factory when it couldn't be used on the airship. See, one component of the mil-spec standard (to which commercial aircraft must cleave, or at least our blimp had to) is that everything -everything- has to have a documented paper trail from procurement to storage etc. They'd lost the receipt for this rope and therefore couldn't use this HUGE roll of it.
Anyway it was free for the taking; legally it couldn't even be on the premises anymore, but I only took about 100'. D'oh.
The CENTER will hold.

I'm afraid it looks more like the inside of dirty truck bed if'n ya ask me.  For what it's worth....I always carry a fair length of 550 para-cord in my pack whenever i'm out and about hunting,hiking, or camping..Just wayyyyy too useful!
