Good value
I bought this to replace the rope that came with a Store-Your-Board kayak hoist. I needed at least 70’ and didn’t want to pay a fortune. This was perfect. It’s the same thickness as the rope I was replacing but much stronger. It’s only $25 for 100’, so just 25 cents per foot. REI sells other 5mm paracord for 50 cents per foot, so this seems like a bargain.
Great gear hanging line!
I use a long(ish) line for hanging my tarp over my tent, as well as hanging stuff up to dry, before packing. This line works great for that.
