Let's try another exercise in imagination ...
In a survival situation, we find a 3m of proper paracord, you know the stuff.
What can we do with that then?
(Let's limit it to one idea per post, continue a list of ideas so far and not post another idea until someone has gone after you)
I'll start with ...
- Tie something to something else
Pull out some of the fibers from the center and use as a fishing line along with a Hawthorn thorn as a hook.

Use it as the string in a friction fire bow to make fire

crochet a pair of one coloured tartan slippers .... for a mouse ....
( I have a serious one for later - but only one idea a posting)
I would strangle an elk with it...
I would sell it for food:P
If you were really stuck and needed to filter water then first thoughts would probably involve a bit of t shirt or other fabric etc.
But how about teasing one end of paracord open and trying to filter water by pouring down the central strands ??
As I said above , it's a bit of a punt ....

P.S. Hope no bushies or others were caught out in West Wales !
Not a bad idea actually.....
Mine, tie it to a piece of cloth and use it as a sling to chuck rocks for fun, and occasional hunting.

Also good for replacing boot laces.
Make a Bow for hunting or killing tin cans
