Handy Items


Rolls of plastic are also excellent items to have, either clear or black in a heavy gauge, they perform varied uses from collecting water to providing shelter to keeping out the rain and wind. Parachute cord is an item I include when I think of this area. Its available from any surplus store, I buy 100 foot for less than $6.00. Its stronger and not subject to decay as readily as other natural fibers. I like it because it is compact when rolled as compared with say cotton clothes line cord. Having some line is useful in constructing shelters among hundreds of other uses around your camp.
