Paracord is one of the most popular types of rope used in a wide range of hiking and survival activities. It is also called parachute cord because it was originally used only as part of a parachute. During World War II, American airborne units also found other uses for paracord. Among other things, it was used as a tool for repairing equipment and gear.
Modern paracord ropes are made from strong synthetic fibers such as nylon. The standard cord (type 550) consists of a weave of seven thin cores that provide a load capacity of up to 250 kg. Parachute cord can be a great addition to EDC because of its versatile uses, which include: repairing clothing, footwear or attaching items of equipment. It can also be used as: a lanyard for keys, knife or dog, an emergency trouser belt, a net or fishing line, a makeshift carry bag, a bowstring, a shoelace, a net or mosquito net attachment, a knife handle braid, a washing line, tent lashings, a knot learning tool and much more. Paracord lines are eagerly used by fans of survivalism, outdoor expeditions, bushcraft or scouts, among others. For all these people, an interesting proposition will be a paracord bracelet equipped with a flint. With such a bracelet, you can save space in your equipment and be sure that lighting a campfire will not be a problem even in rainy weather. It is also worth remembering that paracord rope is not indestructible and should not be used to attach a hammock. It is also not a professional rope, so it should not be used for climbing.
Paracord rope will be perfect for many activities on expeditions and hikes. In some respects, it can be an emergency means of repairing some items of equipment, so it is worth equipping yourself with it before an out-of-town excursion.
