Yes, I know there are a million uses for duct tape and 550. The 550 is two, 2-foot lengths. The REI website says two 4 ft. lengths. You look at the pic and tell me if it's two 4 ft. lengths (barring gutting the 550). And besides maybe a field bandage, 3 inches of duct tape isn't exactly a lot of duct tape. So for all intents and purposes, I'm calling this a fire starter.
I have a key fob home-made from two 3-foot lengths of cord. I'm surprised that you are writing it off. Even if it's only 2 feet, it should have 7 inner strands, so around 16 feet of cord altogether. That could be useful if you need to build a shelter, bind a blade to a pole to make a spear, or maybe make a noose or a fishing line.
