What type of rope do you find is the best for general use? I have found that with nylon rope you can go pretty thin without sacrificing much durability and it makes a huge difference when packing. I find even the thin 1/4" rope is plenty strong enough for securing tarps and tents, holding up heavy packs off the ground, and keeping canoe's docked.
Although if I were using it for anything more serious like supporting my own weight I might be more cautious and choose something thicker. The only downside is the knots can be a bit more difficult to untie.
