I had a really compact round until one of those doodle bugs blew all the bleeding windows out.
Tip, that parachute cord is great for tying shammy mops, it's made from summat called nylon and don't rot.
[We were actually using parachute cord for this in the late 1950's, it was a job for when we were rained off. The boss gave us a bag of shammy bits, a packing needle, and a length of para cord, and it did rot eventually]
