I would use the term for the "rope", to be Paracord or 550 (Five-Fifty) Cord. One thing I borrowed from the Army when I left was a big spool of the stuff.

This is a good thing to know how to do with either hand. Before my grandfather would allow his children and their friends to go hiking with him in the Arizona mountains, he would have them demonstrate how to tie this knot with either hand and their eyes closed. It really is a good thing to learn.
