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.)

I can see some benefit, I suppose, if the 14' is quick to unwrap and that's all you happen to need, but your 50' really seems superior even beyond size. That bracelet thing seems like the sort of thing one wouldn't wear all the time.

Hmm, my everyday-wear belt has finally failed after 14 years of use, and I do have 50' of climbing line right here. Perhaps I should finally join you as part of the group which can always have "50' of rope" written on our character sheets.

Paracord is pretty marginal for supporting human weight, I would fear. I dunno, it's rated for 550 breaking, so guess it'd survive as long as it wasn't fall-arresting, just static load. Would you trust it for human weight? And do you have any good ways to *attach* yourself to it?

That's what I need to learn, knotwork. *sigh*

Was looking at some of the high-performance ropes last BM seasons..Amsteel by Samson is pretty amazing looking stuff. IIRC. Think it comes in different grades/colors.

-B.

I'll go for the obvious comment since no one else has.

One can have plenty of fun with 14' of rope.

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.
