The list literally goes on and on...<br>The cordelette is to mountain craft what Duct tape and bailing wire are to everyday farmlife.<br><br>The cordelette is also useful for:<br><br>Dog training check cord<br>Docking or mooring line<br>Hand line for crossing swift water<br>Lowering line for rifle/ bow in deer stand<br>Hauling line for big game<br>Truck or trailer tie downs<br>strong enough to pull a lightly stuck vehicle, especially when doubled<br>Rescue, swift water heaving line. Despite that nylon sinks, it sure beats the hory yell out of nothing!<br>I suggest everyone go get 2 21ft lengths of 7mm perlon and put them in the bottom of your BOB. They instantly become indespensible. Yes, 21 feet is short, but is a convenient length that is often AROUND when you need it.<br>Oh yeh, when you open up the sheath, the bounty of smaller fibers makes 550 cord look outright anemic!
