A spool of tough perimeter trip line for rigging an early warning run around a campsite, a hide or a stretch of ground you want to know about before anyone reaches it. The wire resists abrasion and cutting and carries over fifty pounds of tensile strength, so it survives being dragged over rock, bark and fence posts rather than parting the first time something brushes it.
The spool winds easily by hand, which matters more than it sounds when you are packing up in the dark or the rain. Pay out the length you need, anchor it between trees, pegs or posts, and wind the rest back in with no tangles. The line is thin enough to sit unobtrusively against a background of grass and scrub, and weatherproof enough to leave out across a multi day trip without degrading.
Pairs with a mechanical perimeter alarm device, a bell or a tin of stones at the anchor point to provide the warning itself; sold here as the line and spool. Also handy as general purpose guy line, repair cord or a washing line at camp. Fellmont Outdoors suggests marking any line you leave rigged with tape or a cloth tag so other people, pets and livestock can see it, and taking every metre home with you.
