No.36 Bank Line - 1lb. Roll
Tarred Twisted Nylon Twine - 1 lb. spool contains approximately 470 linear feet with a 340 lb. breaking strength. This twine is black-treated and dried before it’s put on a reusable plastic spool. It has many advantages over twine treated by “spool dunking.” It is uniformly and deeply coated from one end to the other - no “zebra stripes” or tar globs to come off on your hands. It’s dry, easy to tie, and holds knots well.
Specs:
- 470 linear Feet
- 340 lb Tensile Strength
- .085" Diameter
Note: Tarred bank line can have a strong odor at first which will dissipate over time.
Bank Line vs. Paracord
Paracord is a favorite in the survivalist community. This versatile cordage can rig a shelter, secure your supplies in a storm, make a survival snare — whatever it is, you can do it all with paracord.
Bank line also has a lot of the same outdoor applications. Plus, tarred bank line is an especially excellent option for tying knots: That extra tar coating enhances knotting performance, guaranteeing an easy tie and exceptionally strong hold.
Overall, paracord is stronger: Pathfinder 550 Paracord has a tensile strength of 550 pounds. But a high-quality roll of tarred twine isn’t far behind. The Pathfinder No. 36 Bank Line has a breaking strength of 340 pounds, so it’s strong enough for ridgelines, fishing nets, boating, and other common uses.
But there is a reason many outdoorsmen prefer bank line, and it’s because it does have a slight advantage in terms of size. Since bank line cord has a smaller diameter than paracord, it’s lighter and will take up less space in your gear pack.
So, if your goal is efficient packing for a days-long wilderness trip, bank line might be a better choice. If you need extra strength, go with paracord. And if you want to cover all your bases, get both.
What You Can Do with Bank Line Cord
Bank line was created for trotline fishing, which is where you set up a main line with multiple baited hooks from the bank of a river or other waterway. As such, it’s purpose-built for marine applications and prized for its water resistance.
But turning your cord into a trotline to fish is just one way to transform this cord into a helpful tool. Here are some of the different purposes you can use tarred bank line:
-
Hanging loops for drying your gear or wet clothes
-
Making tools such as a spear or knife by wrapping the cord and finishing with a knot
-
Creating a taut ridgeline for a tarp shelter or a hammock
-
Raising a bear bag to keep your food supplies out of reach from bears
-
Setting traps and snares (tarred bank line is extra stiff, making it ideal for snares)
-
Fishing using the line or by creating netting to trap fish
-
Building a shelter for garden plants
As long as tarred twine that’s twisted (as opposed to a braided bank line), you can also separate the pieces of twine if you need a thinner cord for fishing or tying smaller knots.
When you choose good-quality bank line, you can do almost anything with your cordage — and you’ll be able to use it for years. Our Pathfinder bank line cord is nearly as strong as paracord, but it gives you all the benefits of tarred twine: Extra stiffness, water and rot resistance, and better knots.

No.36 Bank Line - 1lb Roll
No outdoor gear kit is complete without a roll of Pathfinder bank line cord. It won’t fray after exposure to water and sunlight like basic nylon twine will — and because it’s tarred, you can create knots with total confidence.
Unlike tarred cordage, this bank cord won’t leave a sticky residue on your hand: It’s dry, super strong, and ready for anything. It also has exceptional weather resistance, which is necessary while out on the field. Plus, you can easily tear apart the line to create smaller knots or lines.
Every bushcrafter needs No.36 bank line in their pack, so get yours today.

Fits my bottle like a glove. As an added bonus I use it to keep me warm in winter outdoor sleepovers. Fill your bottle with hot water, slip it in the bag, and keep it with you in your sleeping gear...Many therms of warmth for several hours!
I could not be happier with this purchase. As other items I have from SRO the build quality is above average and solid as a rock.
Pot - Love the bat wing handles. My hands are average and there is plenty of room to fit all 4 fingers in with a glove on. No issues with getting a good grip on it. I have been using it on a canister stove and find that it sits sturdy when cooking since it has a wider bottom than cup type pot. I also like bail it comes in handy to grab it off the stove. I can’t wait to try it over a campfire with a tripod.
Stove – Great match Dave. Good idea to make it a little smaller. If you take it out of its pouch and just use a bandana you can lay it flat on the bottom of the pot and a gas can on top of it with room for the stem. The top will stick up just a bit, but the bag takes care of keeping it all together.
Bag – I like it a lot. It’s built well and should hold up under normal use. It is big enough that you can have the pot and sit a 110g can on top and it closes and does not leave a lot of extra bag flopping around.
Windscreen – It’s HUGE!!!! 12 panels. This thing will have no problem blocking the wind for the stove. Actually, I think it’s large enough to use around one of the square butane stoves a caterer uses. I can see using it as a small campfire heat reflector.
I see another poster mentioned this on the page for the pot alone. “Would love to see a 6-inch version of the camp skillet to go with it.” I agree with them it would make a great combination set / addition to this set.
The Ozark Trail 18oz Stainless Steele cup from Walmart (still only $6.00) nests perfectly inside the 1QT. pot. You can then fill the cup, take the stove out of its pouch, and lay it flat on top of the cup. The lid sticks up just a bit but once it’s in the bag and the gas can is on top of it, it sits snug.
I purchased this mattress to replace the foam mattress in my Canvascutter Bedroll, as the foam was too bulky to properly pack on a horse. This mattress compacts down to half the size, and is just as comfortable. It inflates and deflates properly without the use of a pump. It seems to be constructed very well. Great Mattress!
a awesome piece of equipment to have
As usual 1st class item & service.
