Paracord

Paracord is a versalite cord consisting of 7 strands of core.  The paracord I use is military grade and is commonly known as 550 paracord.  A single strand will support 550 lbs before breaking.  The inner strings can be removed in case of need and each support up to 35 lbs.  They can be used for snares, kindling, fishing, dental floss...anything that comes to mind!

Due to the popularity of the survival bracelets in the civilian world, paracord comes in tons of colors...even glow in the dark or reflective cord.

There are many different types of weaves that can be applied with paracord.  Please look at some of the photos on this blog to choose the one you like!  Measure your wrist, choose a color and style and then allow the Paracord Maestro to work his magic!
