Or, how about that product called Paracord that is used in the making of parachutes?

It might be expensive, but how about macramé chord or roles of the fabric yarn!

Thank you for your advice Becky however I’d rather not have to cut up anything if possible I’m looking for a type of thick cord that is either waterproof or close to it plastic maybe that I could just crochet things with without having to cut anything. Does that make sense however thank you for your advice. It is greatly appreciated.

I’d like to do something similar to that but we don’t have plastic bags here in Portland and even if we did, I wasn’t the one who cut them all up and type them together. Does anyone have ideas of some type of waterproof cord? I might be able to use so that I could make them without having to cut anything up myself is anyone has an idea please send it along thanks.
