Sure, but I would probably go to a climbing store and buy some 3-4 mm spectra cord. Its very compact and you know how strong it is because it has to be rated for strength on the roll in both working load and breaking strength. Or you could just carry 550 cord like everyone else its cheap and comes in lengths long enough to be useful.
