This is probably the best thing u can ever have. The amount of things you can use this for is uncountable. If your military and out on a mission, someone better have it.

550 Cord is simply awesome. In the Army we use all the time for practical uses. You can use it when putting tents in or if you want to tie your buddy's stuff up in a tree as a prank.I love how durable it is. You can find it at any PX for few bucks or you can check out a surplus store.

This is the military duc tape. Its great for pretty much everything from tying things down to creating handles for knives and broomsticks for the rifle. IT does it all.

I used this stuff when I served in the US Army and I use this stuff now. I own a large roll of it and continue to find different uses for it. This should be in any home or patrol unit.
