Just went to my sports therapist and his massage water bed needed repair.

He needed some rope and pully to lift the engine and replace a part.

Lucky him I happened to have 1,000 ft of paracord 550 and climbing carabiners along with cats eyes carabiners

Pulled the engine up using my belay and used the cats eyes to lock the rope in place, securing the engine for repair.

Woulduh took all day without it and luckily I had my hightech hammer to force one stubborn bolt out of it’s slot.

Of course my high tech hammer is a Fiskars axe with a 30” handle.

I knocked that thing out, we finished the repair and he’s good to go.

Done in just 10 minutes and he allotted an entire day for this as he was the only one working on it.

I’m glad to have that in 30 day pack, which is always in my trunk.

Also tossed him an extra roll of duct tape just in case.

Ok, I’ve got $40 or so worth of para cord in my Amazon cart because of you. A 250’ spool for the house, and a couple 100’ bundles for the cars.
