Went out for a joint family walk with mine and my sister's family yesterday over Ashdown Forest.
Naturally it started hoofing down, but luckily my transition from normal person, to bushcraft super-nerd over the last few months meant I didn't have a simple umbrella for myself, no no no, I had a half full pack including a DD 3x3 tarp and 100ft of 550 paracord. I said "Right chaps don't worry, we'll all be under cover in no time!"
Famous last words! Trying to get the 550 unwound on the quick secured my downfall from possible stardom! Got it in a right mess, which greatly reduced the saviour factor of the moment.
Anyway, I'm babbling.
In short, check out this very cool video on how to store your 550. knowing this tip yesterday would have garenteed my status of "Hero of the day".
