Yer Military bend is showing. For those not on the know: 100mph tape is military grade Duct Tape. It was called that because they used to use it to repair damage to aircraft (back in the prop days) & was rated to hold up to ... you guessed it ... 100mph.

I'll let Marlin tell the story on 550 cord (also good to have in your trail kit).
