hey all due to to my unfound new levels of bordom i have decided to see what i can make out of this stuff. for those of you who dont know what it is, it is a cord with 7 internal strands and a nylon outer sheath very useful for camping and since i work in a place with a abundance of the stuff i am trying to have some fun with it. so throw those ideas out maybee a couple how to's also, i am in a remote location thanks to the air force and i am trying to keep myself from losing my mind thanks all

Tie 50 knots in it. Then untie one knot per day until your 50 days are up and you can get on with life. When you get down to 5 knots practice your 1000 yard stare and tell people you've been in the bush too long and have seen too much.
Boring I know but at least you'll know how much time you've got to go.

i know how much time i have because i have hash marks on my hat i need to figure something that would keep me occupied for a while since i tend to cause mischief when i am bored i am going to try and make a hammock i just have to find 2 boards and 2 rings which might be hard here where i am

If you pull on the A side the whole knot falls apart. It's a pretty good waste of time.
