Paracord is probably the best combination of useful and cheap when it comes to lashing material. It's extremely easy to work the knots when setting up/taking down tarps. The inner strands are my preferred material for bow strings and snares. The bow string thing is huge, I cannot think of a material that's superior when building your own bows from bush, even actual coiled bow string isn't as versatile and controllable and is designed to knock factory-made arrows and not ones made in the woods. I don't get to eat birds without para cord.
>>606461I don't consider straight up rope an alternative to para cord, they just aren't the same kind of thing. If you're climbing, yeah, bring some fucking rope, if not, rope isn't as versatile as para cord. Remember, even if you unwind rope, paracord has the inner strands and you still can use the tube for lashing.
When I'm on a big camping trip, I always bring para cord for non-permanent lashing and bird-related hunting/trapping, and I use fishing line for permanent lashing, alarm systems and fishing. I don't use rope because I don't fuck around with something dangerous and stupid like climbing when I'm remote and alone, but yes, fishing line and para cord are obviously not climbing rope alternatives.
