Our posts are done with the advantage of liesurely debate and investigation. Altoid tins, paracord and sebenzas are nice. They are benchmarks of the common, the best or the tried and true. In the real world just beyond our monitor's warm glow it is different. The ranch I work at is held together with bright strands of plastic baling wire ( aka texas rawhide.) Anyone just starting out ( and those of us that have been pursuing this exercise) should get something that is serviceable ASAP and then upgrade with time, knowledge and money. Nobody will experience peer disapproval for whipping out clothesline instead of NASA spacewalk tether during a storm ;O)
