This is cute, but only 14 feet? Who ever listed "14 feet of rope" on their character sheet? I'll stick with my utility belt and its full 50 feet. (Though I really need to make a new one, the Mark II is getting awfully worn out.)

14 feet of rope is the kind of thing that ends up on your character sheet when you started with 50 and had to use 36 of it for something.

This isn't rope, though; it's cord. At least if it were on my character sheet I would call it cord.

Yeah, it's pretty marginal as rope, same the line in my belt. But you just can't wear useful lengths of real rope, it's simply too thick. Even with amazing modern fibers. =\

Utility cord of that diameter can support twice my body weight, at least. Not something I'd want to rely on, and almost useless for anything other than a very careful top-belay, but better than nothing in an emergency...
