I don't go camping but I use this stuff all of the time! It Is essential for anchoring airblown inflatable yard decorations! The cord they give you with those decorations is thicker but breaks often! This is much thinner & NEVER breaks! Evan heavy winds don't defeat it! Having your yard decorations properly anchored keeps your airblown inflatable from becoming an airborne inflatable! The thinner cord is much less noticeable than other cord making for a nicer appearance too!
