Survivalist Tip: It almost goes without saying that rope is an essential commodity in any survivalist’s tool chest. But, I’ll say it anyway – get some rope, damnit! Lots of it! Rope comes in a variety of forms, from clothesline types to thick mooring lines. Of course, you want the latter kind. Since prehistoric times, rope has been used for hunting, pulling, fastening, attaching, carrying, lifting and climbing. Rope was critical in the construction of many nations; people used it for wrangling cattle, securing luggage to stagecoaches and stringing up Indians who wouldn’t kiss White people’s asses. In the tumultuous aftermath, you may need to evacuate your home and therefore, rope can secure essential belongings to your vehicle. You may have to climb up or down a hill, mountain, building, or a pile of dead bodies; rope will come in handy no matter what! And, if anyone in your herd of followers becomes too much to handle, you can always tie them up with some rope and hurtle them into a ditch or sewer until they settle down. Remember, just don’t threaten any Indians with it; they’ll be your only true friends in the new post-apocalyptic world.
