          Comments about PMI 3mm Utility Cord - Package of 50 ft.:

          I didn't know how badly I needed this until I got some. It holds all life together and it comes in gorgeous colors.
          For starters, it keeps your tent from blowing away in high winds.
          It's an inexpensive gift for friends and family; everyone I give it to says the same thing: How did I get by without it?

                      I was working at a summer camp where we went on 3-4 day overnights in different locations around California. Using 8+ person tents, we had about 13 campers and 3 adults. One of the tents was missing main poles and stakes.
                      We ran the utility cord through the pole holes that ran throughout the tent, used the rain-fly poles as cross members tied off between to two opposing trees. This took 20 minutes, 2 50' utility cords and a little adhesive tape on the joints. Extra line from tent to tree doubled as a clothes line. Bought these the day before on a whim, do not go anywhere without them.

                        I've used utility cord for several decades, mostly as tent lines and tarp lines. My family teases me about this and sometimes gives me a 50-ft. package for my birthday. I just finished using my first package of the PMI 3-mm cord, which REI recently began to carry.

                        This stuff is great! It is quite a jump in quality from the REI branded product that REI formerly sold, and is an outstanding value for the price. The color is an added bonus.
