Retractable reel for twine - does it exist?
I occasionally use a very long stretch of twine to transport light gear (<1lb) between my partner and I when we're camping out ~30m from each other.
Unreeling and reeling this twine is extremely cumbersome - it's often tangled and I have to buy a new batch.
What would be handy is a cheap, retractable reel that I can use to unload and reload (think vacuum cleaner cord). Does anything small, cheap, automated (press a button to retract), and portable exist for extremely thin twine (not electrical cord)?

A wreck reel sold for scuba divers might give you what you want. They vary from simple line holders up through heavy duty reels.

The thing that immediately jumps to mind for this is a retractable washing line, which should have enough length for what you want. However, they are relatively heavy and aren't exactly thin twine.
Another option may be a automatic fishing real. However, its probably not long enough for what you want.
