550 Type II Commercial Parachute Cord: The Essential Survival Tool
In the realm of survival and outdoor readiness, few tools match the versatility and reliability of a well-crafted parachute cord. This 550 Type II Commercial Paracord stands as a testament to American craftsmanship, meticulously fashioned by a certified government contractor. Originally developed for military parachutes during World War II, this commercial variant retains all the robust qualities that have made it indispensable across generations.
The paracord is strong, durable, and lightweight—a trifecta of characteristics crucial for any serious outdoorsman or prepared homeowner. With its high tensile strength rated at an impressive 500 pounds, you can trust it in both field expeditions and domestic applications alike. Its quick-drying nature ensures reliability in wet conditions while being rot-resistant prolongs its life even further.
This cord's construction features a sheath composed of 32 woven strands encasing a core comprised of seven two-ply strands. These inner strands can be removed individually if needed—ideal for improvising snares or fishing lines when conventional resources fail you. Whether you're crafting shelters under duress or using it as part of your first aid kit, this paracord offers invaluable flexibility.
Aesthetically pleasing with sharp and vibrant patterns, this tool does not compromise on looks either; it's as visually distinct as it is functionally superior. From emergency kits to handle wraps or fire bows—the potential uses are limited only by your imagination.
At 5/32 inches in diameter and constructed from 100% woven nylon material, this paracord embodies quality without question—a must-have addition to any collection dedicated to preparedness.
