( while he doesn't think that he'll need something that filters his breathing, the rope isn't a terrible idea. he's been in some pretty intense fogs and whiteouts and he's gotten himself turned around a bit.

he's always found his way out but he thinks this fog might be a little different. this fog isn't like anything he's encountered before but it's still a fog. )

I'll take the suggestions under advisement. I think I'll be fine when it comes to breathing. I can hold my breath for quite some time.

( or he'll die and come right back after a few minutes. )

But, I fear the rope might not work very well. If I so wanted, I could take it off or tear it if I didn't want to come back.
