00:00Okay, real talk, the moment you actually need a rope is never the moment you have time to
00:04go shopping for one. Storm knocks a tree onto your driveway, your gear needs hauling up a cliff,
00:09somebody slips on a trail, rope is one of those boring things that suddenly becomes the most
00:14important item you own. So I went digging and pulled together the top 5 survival ropes for
00:19emergency situations, and I found some genuinely great deals on all of them. Let's get into it.
00:26Starting with the one that lives in basically every one of my bags, this 4mm, 7-strand core
00:31paracord. And the magic of paracord is what's inside, pull that outer sheath apart and you've
00:37got 7 inner strands you can use as fishing line, sutures, snare wire, boot laces, whatever the
00:42situation calls for. So one length of this is really like 8 tools in one. You can grab it in
00:495,
00:4910, or 31 meters, and it starts at just $3.46. Nearly 5,000 sold with a 4.8 rating.
00:58Honestly, at that price there's no reason not to have a spool in your car, your pack,
01:02and your junk drawer. Next up, the Desert and Fox Emergency Climbing Rope.
01:08This is a proper 9mm rope, and that thickness is the sweet spot, thick enough that it doesn't
01:13shred your hands when you're pulling weight, but still light enough that you'll actually carry it.
01:18It's built wear-resistant, so dragging it over rock edges and rough bark isn't going to chew
01:22through it in one weekend. Comes in 10, 20, 30, or 50 meters so you can match it to your
01:28use,
01:29and it's $11.84. For a real high-strength rope that's a fantastic entry point, and over
01:354,500 people have already grabbed one. Now if you want the serious one, the rope you'd actually trust
01:42with a human being on the end of it, this is the Tomshu 10mm Static Rope. Static means it doesn't
01:48stretch and bounce, which is exactly what you want for rescue work, rappelling out of a window,
01:53hauling gear, or a controlled descent. Stretch is great for catching a fall, it's terrible when
01:58you're trying to lower something with control. You've got 15, 25, or 35-meter options, and it's $22.95.
02:07It's the priciest on this list, but it also has the highest rating at 4.9, and this is one
02:12category
02:13where I'd rather overbuy than underbuy. Coming in at number 4, another Desert and Fox 9mm,
02:19and I know what you're thinking, didn't we just do this one? Slightly different build,
02:24and here's why I'm including it, redundancy. Anyone who's serious about preparedness will tell
02:29you one rope is no rope. This one's 14-45, same wear-resistant construction, same 10-50-meter
02:36length options. Grab it as your backup, or keep one in the truck and one at home.
02:42When the situation goes sideways, having a second line at a second location is the difference between
02:47solving a problem and watching it get worse. And finishing up, this compact 4-meter rescue and
02:53grappling line. Now 4 meters doesn't sound like much, but this is your everyday problem solver
02:59of lowering gear, lashing down a load, a quick anchor point, fishing something out of the water,
03:03tying off a tarp. It's rated for climbing and abseiling use, it packs down to nothing,
03:09and it's $4.85 with a 4.9 rating. That's pocket money for something that genuinely gets used way
03:16more often than the big coils do. This is the one that ends up in the glove box and stays
03:21there.
