Product Description
The product featured here is the 1000 foot spool of OD Green parachute cord, direct from the manufacturer. This is the exact type of cord that is sold to the US Military for non-critical missions, where reliability is a must. The paracord advertised here is not a cheap imitation, it is the real thing!
Because individual strands of 550 paracord can be easily removed and combined into your own configurations, this small rope can be put to a wide variety of survival uses. As a general purpose utility cord 550 can be used for:
Ridgelines for Tarps
Securing Equipment
Shoelaces
Hanging Food from Bears
Vehicle Tie Downs
Sewing Fabric
Repairing Equipment
Making a Fire Bow
Fishing Line
Paracord String for a Bow
Making a Shelter

Fishing Line
Animal Snares
Clothes Lines
Paracord Lanyards
Anchor Line
Binding
Twine
Animal Restraints
Tooth Floss
Splints

Other Paracord Crafts
From seting up a tarp to paracord braiding, no survival kit is complete without a long hank of paracord. This strong cordage is the survival experts friend.

Nothing to say September 12, 2009

Paracord is paracord, there's not much to say. I work for the Airforce and these are the same spools we get from supply. One thousand feet OD outter 7 strand inner white. Quite strong and fun to use for weaving and other odd jobs.
strong and versatile October 29, 2009

I've tested this spool to 300lbs, being myself and my gear. Since knotting can reduce a rope's strength by up to half, that is really as much as I expected from this stuff. Plus, it is light and not at all bulky.
Excellent product January 7, 2010

The product arrived quickly and as advertised. This is a full seven strand cord. I've used it for a number of projects from creating handle wraps to key fobs and paracord braids and it has worked well. I have yet to use it in any load bearing tasks but expect it to perform well. I would certainly recommend this product to a friend who was interested.
Just what I was looking for. November 21, 2009

This is the real deal. Comes on a spool which is helpful in getting lengths needed without tangling up the rope. Spool is an easy-to-store size. Perfect for survival, camping, various projects, you name it! A superb deal for this price.
 Good, but sealing end seems tricky December 29, 2009
Richard Collette (Connecticut USA)
I've been using this for a multitude of purposes, tent lines, boot laces, etc. This is the first purchase of paracord I have ever made so I don't know if this is normal, but I seem to have trouble sealing the ends with a flame after cutting. The inner cord and outer cord will melt together but it doesn't take much to cause them to separate again. One web site suggests dipping your fingers in water and pressing the ends while they cool to create a flattened rather than bulbish melted end.
