I'm totally with you there. It makes me mad. You could break or bend your knife when trying to pry things, and then where would you be?

Fishing twine is a great tool. It can be used for traps and fishing, and to hang your leftover food to keep it from wildlife.

Fishing twine is awesome. Really strong & handy. I've used it for so many projects not involving fishing! Funny, too - I remember when I was fishing with my 8 year old once - the fish kept stealing her bait.....so I wrapped a piece of my hair around it .....worked like a charm! Lol!

One of the great things about bank line. It has uses from fishing, to trapping, to clothing/equipment repairs, and of course, building shelters. Makes more sense than carrying needle and thread.
