Around here, when we say "Prusik cord" what we mean is 4-6 mm accessory
cord, that pretty stuff sold in REI for 8 times the price of braided
nylon. And which I use to tie boats down to my racks, because it's
strong and easy to tie knots in. If I want to tie Prusik loops, I use it
(5-6 mm), because the main paddling use of Prusik loops is as anchors in
Z-drags, where the cord takes a lot of strain.
