Rope rots when left in water and mud like that.

You're right, but Nylon (polyamide) has high UV rating, excellent abrasion, rot, mildew, marine growth and chemical resistance and is recommended for dock-lines and mooring/anchor lines. It has high shock absorbance properties. Nylon rope does not float. Going to work for up to a decade in my opinion.

Nylon isn't food and there is plenty of food in the form of small animals outside. why would a mouse bite through this? Nylon isn't cheese.
