RE: cheap versatile ribbons
I thought a tangle could happen. I think I am going to stick with the floral tape, it's 1/2" and water/fuel proof due to the wax coating. Basically it's a bit more expensive at $1.00 for 60ft but it will break when pulled on. We reuse all the pieces we can find, they tie together easily.
At one dollar a combat session, hell thats cheap entertainment by my standards!
