Just out of curiosity I tore a piece of the EMS cord apart. It has 6 inner-strands with the outer covering. Not as good as seven but it will do for now. There is an Army/Navy surplus store about an hour from me. I know they carry surplus paracord, if I am heading that way I might just stop and pick up a roll, im sure the stuff comes in pretty handy for stuff other then survival. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Any more ideas for me anyone? Im still open to suggestions. <img src="images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
