[[Randall]] points out that the {{w|Virginia creeper}} is a plant with 5 green leaves that can be used as a rope.

His girlfriend is into {{w|Bondage (BDSM)|light bondage}} (being tied up or tying up another for erotic purposes), yet the area around their tent was too dark to differentiate between the two vines when they went looking for some impromptu rope.
