In my travels around the Dutton Estate tonight, I always walk by some of my bushcraft/outdoors/homesteading gear and supplies and got me thinking maybe I need to run a series on such things.
Natural Cordage Episode Coming!
Are you prepared as far as your ropes, fastening gear and overall cordage and related things go??
... for 3 days.... and beyond?
I have touched on it a few times here and there of course but largely avoid it since as a high profile activist here over the years calling out the police state and related government corruption, they watch me and they have admitted it.
Why add to my file and make their overpaid jobs any easier to extort tax dollars and steal what is left of our civil liberties, right?
They are known to target people who like to be prepared... even though here is a complete search string, tied to government links and propaganda telling us to do it as citizens and be ready.
LOL.
Government double-speak or stupidity.... Shocking, I know!!
They are state sponsored gutless terrorists for the most part, paid out of tax dollars and so are in a complete conflict from a Liberty and Civil Rights perspective of course, along with a waste of said tax dollars on their over the top , gold plated salaries, pensions and benefits and whatnot to over regulate everything in life....
.... but they know that. I have told them all plenty to their faces, by email and on my YT videos inside and outside publicly paid for buildings.
I have blogged a lot about being out in the woods and bushcrafting and all that goes along with some of my homesteading and offgrid life and interests.
I've tried to put my money where my mouth is also , on Steemit a few times:
Our week 2 was about proper, high grade knives, not multi tools, we will get to that episode, do not worry!
I've spent 300 nights outdoors in a hammock in a year, thru literally all 4 seasons, right up til nearly Christmas in Canadastan in the snow.
If your base layers and sleep system are layered, proper and accessible, with your wool of course LOL..... you can live outdoors pretty nicely despite what your fascist neighbours and bylaw officers might think as the police state and publicly funded Air 1 and 2 choppers fly a grid over your property.
How is Paracord different from other cordage?
-- It was first developed as suspension lines for parachutes.
-- True paracord has a nylon sheath with several inner strands inside. That is generally what gives it such strength. the nylon part..... also means it is flammable to an extent -- it will burn, keep that in mind.
-- This design with the several inside strands is how it has such a superior strength to weight ratio and is the mark of high quality cordage.
High quality paracord has a strength rating of 550 lbs or more.... aka called the breaking strength. This makes it amazing value for your money's worth!
Due to it being made from nylon it won't rot and it holds up to weather very well as well as being lightweight, and easy to carry, roll or store away.
It is usually on the package with a number like this attached to it, ie you will see "550 cord" in chats or on packaging. You can get it with more or less inner strands and it is NOT ALL MADE THE SAME!!

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
