It’s okay to say I “love” rope right? I guess it’s weird to say “I love it” over what is basically some rope. But what rope it is! Paracord is a modern day miracle in terms of it’s usefulness and I have a giant 1000ft spool in my garage. Recently I started playing around with making different types of weaves and knots for lanyards on things like knives, machetes, etc.. so I started ordering some “fancy” colors just to break up the monotony. The seller got my order here extremely quickly and it was just as advertised…
Next to Mil-Spec Don’t be mislead. This is infact great cord but it is slightly less quality then milspec. The inner cords are 2 strand woven and not 3. The inner cords when separated do begin to fray. Realistically it is a step down from the real deal but still fully capable for use making snares or fishing line. I would not expect it to work well if the inner cords where separated to sew for instance. I will be ordering more colors though since it is such a great alternative.
I would recommend that any vendor selling product from Paracord Planet spot … Not really a problem by the vendor, but more with Paracord Planet. This is the 2nd bag of cord I received that was way short: only 43 feet when it should have been 50. Length matters when you need a certain amount for a project. I would recommend that any vendor selling product from Paracord Planet spot check (do a little quality control) this manufacturer’s product. If it were only a few inches short, probably not a big deal. But 7 feet short? That’s almost 20%! How hard is it to measure 50…
