In the realm of tactical and survival gear, few items boast the versatility and reliability of a well-constructed cord. This offering is no mere string; it is crafted as a commercial version of the original parachute cords first developed during World War II for military use. Designed to be strong, durable, and lightweight, this braid provides an essential tool for any serious outdoorsman or home enthusiast.
Composed of 100 percent woven nylon with a tensile strength reaching up to 500 pounds, this Type II Commercial quality cord stands ready for both field challenges and domestic applications. Its core features seven individual strands—each made from two-ply material—that can be removed when improvisation becomes necessary in survival situations.
The sheath itself consists of 32 intricately woven strands that offer not just functionality but also aesthetic appeal with sharp patterns that remain vibrant over time. At a modest diameter of 5/32 inches, this American-made product ensures ease of use while maintaining superior performance standards expected by those who depend on such equipment.
This multi-purpose tool serves admirably across various scenarios: from crafting emergency kits to constructing shelters or snares; from fishing lines to trapping aids; even as handle wraps or components in defense mechanisms like fire bows. It’s an indispensable asset whether you find yourself navigating wilderness terrain or simply preparing for unforeseen contingencies at home. Manufactured by a certified government contractor, its pedigree assures trustworthiness where it matters most.
