We took paracord, but our rangers wouldn't let us take it. They were worried it would get cut on the cables. We ended up talking them in to letting us take one of their ropes and one paracord for the oops bag. This worked out very well for us as the paracord was a lot lighter, especially when it's wet. We also used paracord for our tyvek fly we made.
