Tarred, Twisted, Nylon Twine, 72 (1 lb)

Great cord. Very strong and durable.

Strong stuff for many uses. This is a stout, stiff line; not flimsy. It smells of tar or creosote and it will dirty your hands but somehow you trust that it will do the job.

I am building an Altoids tin survival kit. I purchased this twine (72) for this kit. I did not know how big it is, and I will be ordering some smaller twine. This is good cordage, and I think I will use it to wrap around the altoids can. Then again, it does smell so that may not happen. Anyway, I am not going to give a bad review because of the lack of my knowledge. I am sure I can find a use for it, and it is good quality cordage. I would recommend this line; however, I would not recommend if for a small survival kit.

This twine is great stuff. I've used this number seventy two twine for over twenty years for lanyards to attach tools to my diving harnessIt is about one eighth inch in diameter, nearly indestructible and best of all you can splice it. I usually put an eye splice on to the tool and another on to a snap clip to attach to my harness. After the splice is done I trim back the ends to about an eighth of an inch and melt them smooth into the twine. It makes a good looking lanyard, very secure and can be adapted to any use you can think up.

This stuff is great, its nice and sticky so it grips will, however its not sticky on your hands.Once you tie a knot with this stuff there is virtually no undoing it (which can be good depending on application!).I use this stuff for friction fires using a bow drill.On roll will last you forever! Great for bushcraft and campcraft!I still keep some 550 paracord for knots that I want to be able to undo and other applications. I think everyone should have a mix of this stuff and 550 paracord in the gear bag.

Aside from the stink this is 5 star stuff I use it for survival training (self taught rookie here) it holds a knot better then 550 cord, it makes friction fires with a bow (and obviously dry wood) a cinch, I havn't tested the break weight on this but I got the #72 which is rated to 625 so I doubt I'll break it doing my normal routine of setting up camp and what not. Great product I would say it's a must have for outdoor survivalist level rookie and up

Bank line. It worked great to bind my shoot gun barrel to the stock, I know it is a redneck fix but it got me back home with a story. Then I was able to use it on my fire drill to make my first fire using ceder in the bow-drill, Again it worked great. I will be buying more when I use this to make a primitive shelter. Water proof, great hold, easy to work with. If I had a survival store this would be a top seller.

I used this in setting up a camp this past weekend and it is the best. For camping purposes, I find it highly superior to 550 cord. It is strong, the knots stay tight and it easy to untie and reuse. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for good cordage to use around a campsite (lashing poles together, guy lines for tarps, you name it and there's a use for this twine).
