It might be worthwhile to have a length of cord with you in the EDC pouch, and this thing does exactly that. I am using 1.2mm cord, make a loop beginning and end. the 70% unit can hold about 3m of the 1.2mm cord. Works great, I cut them from 1mm aircraft ply, which is a bit flimsy, choose something like 2-3mm.
I use this cord:

As the dyneema cord was twice as expensive (but stronger).
