Don't know what everyone else uses it for, but I have used it to pull a branch into or out of a picture -- saving doing any permanent damage with my saw. (You can get camo-colored cord, which would still be hard to spot if it accidentally got into a picture.) Basically it can be used to tie together most anything -- and even used as emergency boot laces, if needed. On the subject of boots: My location boots not only have the steel toes required for for many industrial situations but also have a so-called "spike plate" in the sole which resists penetration if you happen to accidentally step on a sharp object. Interesting lists, by the way. I have/use virtually all the items listed, though some are in the car, not in the camera bag. -- Ernest -- Ernest H.
