Yes, I've had 60ft. of 550 para cord in my cordage bag for about 2 years now without it being touched but the twine and nylon cordage is used most times I'm out in a wild place. As usual, your video's are informative with honest, well thought out advice and opinions. An interesting idea, having an axe where you can easily change the axe heads.
+sweetcostarica The second image is also not taken in Guatemala and, in this case, it does not even correspond to a border. Although it does have to do with migrations from Central America: it is a photograph of the wall crowned by concertinas that surrounds the roads of 'La Bestia', the train of merchandise used by thousands of migrants to cross Central America in their attempt to reach United States. United clandestinely.
You've made another interesting video. The "mule tape" is what climbers used to call 7/16" webbing. I'm guessing that the mule tape is made to less exacting standards but retains most of the strength. Assuming that one isn't going to take a climbing fall on an anchor, the mule tape will work just as well and be much less expensive. When I used to hike, I always carried 1" tubular webbing because I had used that stuff so much in caving. I can see where the combination of other things would work better in most survival applications. If I had to tie a splint to an arm or leg, I'd rather have the 1" webbing. If my health ever allows me to go back into the woods, I'll look for several kinds of cordage to put in the pack. If I ever do serious outdoor stuff again, I'll probably be carrying backup glasses and pocket magnifiers for detailed needs. Would you consider a pocket magnifier as a legitimate fire starting tool? Obviously, I'd need to start camp during the day to have sunlight, but a magnifier with the right tender could work. I've always considered multiple butane lighters as adequate for fire starting needs, but I would carry a rod if I thought I might be stuck for longer periods of time.

+sweetcostarica What then is the Guatemala-Mexico border? The director of the Mexican political animal agency, Daniel Montero, who has prepared a special investigation on the southern border of his country, is tactful: "Indeed, there is no wall, there has been a migratory policy of persecution of Central American migrants, criticized in Mexico, Peña has been the president that most Central Americans have deported and Obama financed that, but there is no physical wall. " From Guatemala, Asier Vera, a freelance journalist based in Guatemala City, can not help laughing when commenting on the supposed wall with Mexico. After touring a good part of the Guatemalan border to document the travels of Central American migrants, he explains what the perimeter between the two countries really is like.

After touring a good part of the Guatemalan border to document the travels of Central American migrants, he explains what the perimeter between the two countries really is like. "What exists is the complete opposite of a wall: the Suchiate River [in most of the border], located between Tecún Umán (Guatemala) and Ciudad Hidalgo (Mexico), which separates both countries by scarce 50 meters. By this river dozens of migrants cross from dawn, coming from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, especially, but also from Cuba, Haiti and African countries, they do it through inflatable rafts through which they cross from one country to another illegally and without any type of police or border control", he describes.
+sweetcostarica Shortly after Donald Trump announced his official decision to build a new wall between the US and Mexico, hours later of the reaction of the Mexican president against his creation, a news story and several photos began to spread on Twitter: "The wall of the shame of Mexico and Guatemala that no one talks about. " A wall that, in reality, does not exist. The information is a loophole generated by an article published on the website "Free news."

+sweetcostarica As part of the plan of the Government of Mexico Frontera Sur, implemented by the federal government to contain the flow of migrants in the country, the company Ferrocarril del Sureste (Ferrosur) began to build in 2014 a wall of more than five feet high, according to the local media; SinEmbargo.mx to try to protect access to La Bestia in the Mexican municipality of Tierra Blanca, in the State of Veracruz.
+sweetcostarica The organizations that serve the migrant population in the area criticized with harshness the construction of the wall that, according to the Mexican president, sought to protect the rights of migrants. One of the issues reported was that it was impossible for them to access the Albergue Decanal Guadalupano, whose objective is to provide humanitarian assistance to these people along the way. Several local media called this physical barrier an "anti-immigrant wall", because it was built to complicate their access to the freight train. But it is not a border wall nor is it on its dividing line with Guatemala. Even several people have tweeted with indignation messages against the alleged conspiracy of the media to hide "the wall of Mexico and Guatemala" with a picture of a wire fence that is familiar: the fence of Melilla six meters high and 12 kilometers long that separates Spain from Morocco on its southern border.
Danzig Rulze I loved that picture. When I first saw it I knew it would be a good opening shot for the cordage section here. Enjoy your Saturday Danzig Rulze. It is a nice warm day in Alaska now. Warm for us at 51 F.

I certainly agree with what you said. Actual items to stick in the kit most likely have an infinite number of effective items to select from.
