D-Day requires all trip lines to be made from sewing thread.
It's to prevent people being tripped...
Thought you might like to know that.

Because the composition of the wire makes such a huge difference? Whatever.
If I wanted to trip people I'd use piano wire.

Yes, I suppose. Sewing thread isn't tough enough to trip you, it'll break.
Not so with fishing line.

Yeah but then it may not be tough enough to stand up to the tension required to trigger the mine.

Easy, find out the pull weight of the trigger mechanism and get fishing line to match, around 4 pound should be enough.
