The Rothco Utility Rope is the line you reach for when a shelter needs securing and the wind is picking up. Its 3/8 inch build has a tensile strength of 1200lbs, so it withstands up to 1200lbs of force while you set your lines and get on with camp.

A 100% nylon core sits inside a 100% polypro sleeve, and the rope is made in the USA. It is lightweight and compact enough to pack into a bug out bag, rucksack or emergency kit.

Why it works:

  • Holds under load: Your lines stay put when it counts, since the rope withstands up to 1200lbs of force.
  • Sized for many jobs: A 3/8 inch thickness suits a wide range of tasks, from securing shelters to crafting makeshift tools.
  • Lasting construction: The sturdy 100% nylon core is wrapped in a 100% polypro sleeve for long-lasting use.
  • Packs into your kit: Lightweight and compact, it fits into a bug out bag, rucksack or emergency kit.
  • Pick your length: Order 50 or 100 feet in Black, Olive Drab or Woodland Camo, all made in the USA.
