Bountyhunter, Thanks for the tip. I don't like external frames on packs because I'm mostly doing mountain stuff with them... I need the pack to be very close to my center of gravity when climbing or hiking in dangerous places (near cliffs, on slippery terrain, etc.). Besides most external frame packs are way too big for me. I'm a part of the infamous ultra-light backpacking sect <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Cheers, and thanks again for the ventilation tip. I'll try it out ! David

Okay, I confess ignorance here. What is a "Reeve" coil, as in a "Reeve coil of paracord?"

Oh. So that's what it is. Thanks man.
As Bill Cosby used to say, I believe it was in his monologue for the old Fat Albert TV show, "If you're not careful you just may learn something." I laughed every time he said that, because he was right. I did learn something.

Yeah, I'd say it's a hangman's noose, alright. Been using them for years to keep a lanyard on a blade or staff.
If it's not, would someone please explain the difference? (Unless, of course, what's meant is that there are 13 turns around the bends to make a noose...)

Here is how i'm equipped:... a Reeve coil of paracord...a small version of a "shove it" tool How much paracord do you carry and is the Shove Knife homemade? I've seen regular sizes offered by vendors, but no pocket-sized versions.
