Reddit mentions: The best twines

Standard iceberg lettuce!

I fucking LOVE unwiches. In fact, I make them at home! I bought unbleached parchment paper, butcher's twine, and iceberg lettuce and I make my own low carb and super delicious unwiches for a fraction of the cost of a JJ's sub.

If you're at a JJ's though, definitely try the 'gargantuan' as an unwich. It's like it was hand crafted by the Keto Gods just for us.

Also, here's what I usually put on my home made sandwiches:

Iceberg Lettuce, Ham, Roast Beef, Salami, Chicken Breast, Pepperoni, Sliced Onions, Sliced Mushrooms, Sliced Cherry Peppers, Sliced Pepperocinis, Sliced Pepper-Jack Cheese, Mayonnaise, Newman's Own Family Italian Dressing (very low carb and no sugar), Cracked Pepper and Kosher Salt.

I keep a Doan bar in my fire kit (along with a LOT of other things) as a backup to my Ferro rod, because the Magnesium shavings will light even if they're wet. However, they're useless unless you can put together a good tinder bundle.

If I were you, since you're starting out practicing in your backyard, I'd get:

• The Mora

• A good Ferro rod, like a Light My Fire or a Firesteel Armageddon (my favorite and what I use)

• And some Jute Twine.

Learn how to carve feather sticks and focus on getting fires started with natural materials and a ferro rod, as well as fluffing up the Jute Twine for making tinder bundles.

Also, use the Jute Twine to practice tying useful knots that will come in handy for setting up your tarp later.

I'd get the tarp and some paracord next and practice setting that up.

I'd save money and get the canteen and cook kit once you're actually ready to go out and use them.

Yeah sure. It’s a wax coated string, required by AT&T, but it’s pretty awesome. Here is the [Link](T.W . Evans Cordage D1006 4 Ply Waxed Polyester Cord 1215-Feet Tube, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JBZ2XZA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vcGHAbYZCBETA)

I don’t know if this is the same stuff I get in bulk but it looks the same

I wanted to post an alternative to the wicking materials they are using but I am too new a member to ECF and the powers that be will not allow it, whatever... I thought the thread was so awesomely educational. They did miss a big one though. Why did no one think of using cotton butcher twine instead of candle wick or gauze? Seems like an obvious wicking material to me. I do like to cook so I use it quite a bit and it can take massive amounts of heat without burning and it is 100% natural cotton no bleaching, dyes, or anything other than cotton for that matter. Also it looks like the perfect diameter and if it's not it's only twisted so it's easy to add strands or remove them. $5.54 for 184 feet: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Butchers-Twine-185-feet/dp/B000I1WNV0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343885999&sr=8-1&keywords=cotton+butcher%27s+twine

Ah ha! Putting "Cat kitchen twine cutter" I found an Amazon item just like it, neat!

Thank you! The dinner napkins and forks were purchased from Smarty Had a Party, and the bags, twine, and wet wipes were purchased from Amazon.

Altogether it cost $48.75 and made enough bags for 48 guests (could have made 60 if I purchased another 16 pack of napkins for $1.89) with 32 leftover forks that I'll put in mason jars on the appetizers & dessert table.

> The twine I've been using is discount bin $3 for 1000' stuff, pretty basic and so cheap I don't really worry about cutting it up or getting it too dirty to reuse....

Agreed. 36# bank line isn't crazy expensive, but if you have something else it's probably more than strong enough for almost any task. Jute twine also makes a good fire starter and kite string or masonry twine is usually just bank line without the tar.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013XRSRW4/ 36# twisted, bank line, 117 feet. Currently at $8.99 a roll.

1. For when you need to take a minute away from class
   
   
   
2. For those art projects when you run out of the answer
   
   
   3.For when you need that after class snack and don't want hair in your food
   
   
   
3. For when you want to get away from it all you need to be prepared
   
   
   
4. One of these in my trunk would mean I'm always ready for a study break
   
   
   Bonus. Gotta keep those school books dry with this cape like item

One of my hobbies is making hemp jewelry. These two colours would really help as I need them to make a necklace for a friends daughter and I can't find pink anywhere.

  Librett Cotton Butcher’s Twine - $8.29 (2 cents per foot)
  
  > This ball of 100 percent cotton twine tied and held foods without burning, fraying, splitting, or breaking. It made neat, even ties around braciole and whole chicken and stayed in place without slipping. Although any cotton twine might perform as well, this brand releases string from the center of the ball, letting us pay it out with no danger of it rolling off the counter.

  > This compact ball of linen twine comes in a clear plastic container with an opening for the string and a small blade for portioning lengths, but we still needed our kitchen shears to snip off ends after tying. Thinner than cotton twine and slightly more expensive, linen proved just as strong and simple to use.

  > Although they held up to searing in a hot pan and roasting in a 450-degree oven, we needed more than one set of four textured 13½-inch silicone ties to tie our braciole at 1-inch intervals. Spaced 2 inches apart, they let the rolled meat bulge in between and left ugly indentations. As for trussing a chicken, these loops pulled the legs to one side as we tightened the cinch, making the bird lean, which resulted in lopsided roasting.
  

Don't know what you want it for, but twine is always useful to have around!

This is it. Just make sure you get a conduit diameter that will accommodate the amount of cables you need, or maybe more if there are plans for expansion.

Professional tip: Get Bailing Twine and run it through the conduit before cables. We've used a vacuum on one end to suck the line through. Every time you run a new cable, add some more line that way you always have an easy pull string. However, if you have any sharp corners, its better to add a junction box.

I think it was this, not 100% sure though. :)

something like this

I imagine something like this would work.

I personally use this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BSB22BA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3VB400Z69OOLE&coliid=I3LMZK9RJ5127B

It's 3 strands wrapped together, so you could customize it some.

I've been tempted to try another one that comes in four different weights since it would allow even more customization:

I wouldn't worry about it. It's part of the aesthetic and [shouldn't be too difficult to replace] (http://www.amazon.com/Lehigh-Group-530X-Twine-Heavy/dp/B000VYBB0I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397028584&sr=8-1&keywords=twine) if you ever need to.

Let me save you some trouble.

I've made suspension bridges out of KNEX pieces with cotton string, like this, with no problem, up to 8' long main span, 6" wide. Its easy to work with and attach suspender ropes to.
