Paracord is the common name for parachute cord or 550 cord. It is lightweight, nylon rope that was originally used in World War II for the suspension lines of parachutes. With a tensile strength of 550 pounds, it is tough and it won’t rot or mildew.

Drab green may have once been mil-spec, but today paracord comes in a variety of colors. Paracord is probably one of the more useful items to have on hand after Mother Nature decides to relocate your roof to the next county or if your ATV breaks an axel out in the middle of nowhere. There are literally hundred of uses for paracord—secure a tent, make fishing line or hang your supplies out of a bear’s reach. Paracord may look decorative, but it can also save your life. Here is some truly cutting-edge survival gear that is designed with paracord.

The paracord can be removed for trail tasks and even used in emergency situations for a makeshift sling…………
