I occasionally carry a cane and make my own of Colorado scrub oak. I usually wrap a portion of them with paracord because as Samwise Gamgee states, "What about a bit of rope? You'll want it, if you haven't got it. . ." I thought those survival bracelets were pretty cool 'til I found out they unraveled to around 8'. You can't be rescuing hobbits or stringing up miscreants with 8' feet of rope. I always wrap about 20-30' on my canes and also make a braided hatband for my outdoor 'venture hats (boonie hats) with about the same amount. Those hatbands make a handy spot to tuck the bottom of a clan badge into so it doesnt' flop about whilst you're derring doing.
Sorry for the thread drift.
