In the realm of outdoor and survival gear, few items can boast the versatility and reliability of a well-crafted cord. What we have here is an exemplary specimen: a strong, durable, and lightweight braid that stands as the commercial counterpart to the original parachute cords used by military forces during World War II.
This cord features a core composed of seven strands, each with two plies. These strands are not merely for show; they can be removed individually to serve in various survival situations—a testament to its design's practicality. The sheath itself consists of 32 woven strands, contributing further to its robustness.
With a high tensile strength rated at an impressive 500 pounds, this Type II Commercial quality cord offers peace of mind whether you're deep in the wilderness or tackling tasks at home. Measuring at a diameter of 5/32 inches, it strikes an ideal balance between size and utility.
The patterns on this braid are sharp and vibrant—an aesthetic touch that complements its functional excellence. This is not just equipment; it's essential gear for any outdoorsman or homeowner who values preparedness. Its applications range from crafting shelters and snares to fishing lines, trapping tools, handle wraps for defense implements, first aid uses like tourniquets or slingshots for fire bows—the list goes on.
Proudly made in America by a certified government contractor using one hundred percent woven nylon materials—it embodies both heritage and innovation in equal measure. For those who understand that preparation is key to mastery over one's environment—this paracord proves indispensable.
