For those unfamiliar with the Rapid Rope Canister, allow me to introduce you to this unique and incredibly versatile piece of gear that has revolutionized the game for survivalists, the military, and covert operatives alike. This ingenious product first made its debut on the entrepreneurial reality show, “Shark Tank,” where it managed to captivate the sharks and viewers with its simplicity and effectiveness.
The Rapid Rope Canister is precisely what the name suggests: a compact, portable container filled with ready-to-use, pre-cut rope. The rope is stored in a neat and tangle-free manner inside the canister, with a cutting edge conveniently built into the lid to ensure you always have the exact length of rope you need. The ropes themselves are high-quality extreme utility ropes, each capable of supporting a load up to 1100 pounds.
How it Works
The simplicity of the Rapid Rope Canister is part of its appeal. To use it, you simply unwind the desired length of rope from the canister and then use the in-built cutter on the lid to cut the rope at the desired length. No need for knives or scissors, no need for wrestling with tangled bundles of rope, just a smooth, convenient experience. It saves valuable time in high-pressure situations, where seconds often count.
Applications in Tradecraft, Military, and Survival Situations
The Rapid Rope Canister offers a significant advantage in several scenarios, including covert operations. The rope itself is strong, durable, and lightweight, making it ideal for use in different situations, such as securing equipment, setting up temporary shelters, or even constructing improvised traps or rescue lines.
You can use the Rapid Rope for quick escape routes, secure perimeter settings, or complex knot-tying for specific mission requirements. The canister’s compact design allows it to be easily concealed within other gear or cargo. In survival situations, the convenience, reliability, and multi-functionality of this tool could very well mean the difference between life and death.
Everyday Utility
The Rapid Rope isn’t just for tradecraft professionals and survival enthusiasts. It’s also an excellent addition to your everyday toolbox. Whether you need to secure a load in the back of your truck, rig a clothesline, or even set up a hammock, Rapid Rope is the perfect solution.
Urban and Wilderness Survival Kits
For both urban and wilderness survival kits, the Rapid Rope is an excellent inclusion. In urban environments, the rope can be used for scaling buildings, creating emergency shelters, or tying down equipment during natural disasters.
In the wilderness, the utility of a high-strength, easy-to-use rope is immeasurable. From constructing shelters, securing food stores up high to prevent wildlife access, or assisting in creating rafts or other survival tools, the Rapid Rope Canister is a game-changer.
Recomended
All in all, the Rapid Rope is a highly versatile tool that packs a lot of utility into a small, convenient package. Whether you’re a military operator, a covert operative, a survivalist, or an everyday Joe, this product has the potential to be an incredibly valuable addition to your gear.
It’s not often that a product comes along that so seamlessly blends convenience, strength, and utility. If you’re serious about being prepared, a Rapid Rope Canister should be a staple in your kit.
![“Survival in any form for any environment is an act of prevention and or recovery, best enacted by preparation.” -Det V Cader The problem with survival prepping is the assumption that you’ll be home when the SHTF, if not then it was all for nothing. This is the solution: Standard “prepping” is the practice of stockpiling pertinent supplies and the training of survival techniques to be used for a possible lifestyle altering, large-scale catastrophe or SHTF event. The typical process is simple; slowly but consistently acquire food, water, weapons and other relevant equipment and store them in a singular central location such as a home or private “bomb” shelter. Just as important but far less utilized is the ongoing learning and practice of survival, defense and use of the prepped equipment. Having everything in one location has one fatal flaw, however. It assumes that you will be at that very location at all times or it will always be easily accessible and nearby to your present location. There’s no way of knowing when or where an “event” will take place. Meaning getting to your home base where all your survival prepping is stored may be impossible due to the nature of an “event”; mass gridlock traffic, land / infrastructure destruction, social panic and violence, restrictive martial law, vicinity containment, active combat / hot zones and public transportation collapse. The average person commutes to work or school 5 days a week far enough that they need to take motorized transportation, public or private. Then there’s leisure, recreation and errands time at other homes and facilities as well as being away on vacation. So all that survival prepping, across town or half way around the world can be lost or seized by another. For more than a decade I’ve been doing the “vagabond survival prepping method” of which evolved from stashing small city-specific go-bags around the world as part of my former operative profession. It wasn’t about survival back then but about professional utility and function. Equipment that wasn’t ideal to equip on my person at all times because of unnecessary baggage or non-permissive locales. As time went by and the more I returned to some of these “prepped cities”, the go-bags that were already stashed became better equipped and for more dynamic use such as urban / wilderness survival. To this day, I manage these hidden go-bags whenever I happen to be in their respective countries. That’s my way of survival prepping while vagabonding. These are located in a growing number of the cities I frequently visit in secure but relatively easily accessible spots such as; under a boulder access in New York’s Central Park, inside a tree stump in the Amazon Jungle and a derelict manhole in Bangkok – all of which have been my active stash spots for years. Unlike typical at-home-preppers, I don’t have the luxury of a long term address so I can’t hand pick the exact items I want off the internet to ship to. But this works out for me just fine as I build / upgrade my kits with readily available materials from the city I’m in. So if an “event” does take place (which will often affect major cities first and most), I’ll have my prep kit close by no matter where I am in the world. Instead of having to rely on a singular base a continent away. Due to the limited opportunity but unlimited variety of goods available while constantly traveling, each go-bag is completely different. Some by design and others by necessity. All are sealed to protect from the elements and hidden but easily “accessible”. Various Kit Items List: Backpack, Duffle Bag or Dry Bag MRE’s, Canned Foods and Vitamins Bottled Water and Energy Shot Water Treatment Tablets Prescription Contact Lenses Kevlar Vest or Shield Climbing Rope and Gear Euros and US Dollars Gold and Platinum Bullion Urban / SERE Kit Wilderness Kit First Aid / Trauma Kit SD Card w/ Data Smartphone Gas Mask Knife, Machete and other Weapons CB and Two-Way Radio Full Change of Clothes Multi Tool and Pry Bar Flashlight and Chemlights Sleeping Bag or Parka Solar Charger Some may consider renting a locker in a facility like train stations or self storage units. It’s not easy to maintain them for years at a time when you’re not even in the country for years at a time. Also, when considering an “event”, it’s logical to expect the loss of power grid and the mayhem in busy public areas. It’s best to stash them where no one will look in an area that won’t be too hectic but not where it will be too difficult to reach with limited transportation options. The vagabond survival prepping method isn’t limited to location independents and nomads, however. Consider your travel requirements of daily life and stash a go-bag in strategic spots accordingly; in your car, near your job, somewhere between your home and work, a friend’s place and near a hangout you frequent. Survival prepping doesn’t end with the acquisition of supplies and equipment, it only begins there and continues on with honing skills to survive and thrive.
