29. Emergency Tow Rope
It’s a fact of life that things break down sooner or later, and that includes your vehicle. If you don’t have a tow rope when your car is not working, your bundle of 550 cord or
600 cord
will come in handy. Admittedly, you need several strands, but it is surprising what a few together will hold!
