Sam Fisher- Essential Gear

  Fisher dug into one of his rucksack's side pockets and came up with ten-foot coil of Type III 550 paracord. This was one of Fisher's many "desert island staples," along with duct tape, Swedish FireSteel, and superglue for on-the-fly wound repair. He tied a quick running bowline in one end of the cord, then lassoed the dangling foot, looped the free end twice over a pipe, and finished with a cinch knot.
