Good 7-strand Paracord September 4, 2010

Title says it all. It is real 550 with 7 strands. Good stuff to have around
 Good Stuff, But Not All Created Equal August 31, 2010

The Rothco 550 Type III Paracord IS good stuff but it is not the top shelf paracord. I beleieve that it may be mil spec but probably not to todays mil spec paracord standards, but it is still a 7 strand core paracord that is good quality. I have not done any tensile strength test to this stuff before, but im sure it would be more than strong enough for what most people are going to use it for, but heres the not so concerning caveat, I have noticed there are differences between the different colors of cord. I just recently ordered some in desert tan and i noticed the sheath was a little looser than that on the black, also the black seemed to be a tighter more stiffer cord than that of the tan, but with that said they are both good quality cordage. My theory behind the differences is that rothco does not manufacture the the cord themselves but has subsidary manufacture's IE: different colors, different manufactures. All in all good cord definitely survival worthy.

After having purchased cheap Chinese made knock-offs of Para Cord being sold elsewhere as real 550 I was leery about buying this. But knowing Amazon's super return policy I gave it a try.
The product arrived on-time and was just as described. Real US Mil-Spec cord. And with Amazon Prime shipping the price cannot be beat.
If you have never used Para Cord you will wonder how you have lived without it. Like Duct Tape it is an indispensable product to have at hand. Wrap knife handles, make key chains, lanyards, emergency tow ropes, etc.
Wonderful stuff and made in the USA!

Strong paracord rated at 550lbs does exactly what is advertised. I used mine to wrap around a survival knife.
I call it my nylon duct tape August 13, 2010

After I bought my first string of 100 ft paracord, I realized how insanely useful it was. I use it for just about everything, I seriously believe it is even more useful than duct tape. At first, I only purchased 100 ft from a military surplus website but it only took maybe a little over 2 months to completely eat through my supply. When I discovered the great priced paracord here on Amazon, I bought 300 feet so it would last me a little longer (I only have about 50 feet left so I might want to make another order) I love paracord mostly because of its size and strength. It really confounds me how something that I've used as shoelace string can hold up 3 people my size easily without breaking. After my wonderful experiences with paracord, I've gotten to the point where I laugh at people who've never used it. Oh, but a word of warning about paracord and nylon rope in general, when you melt the ends (after cutting a section off) be very careful about keeping the drippings off your skin...just yesterday I got a huge glob of molten nylon on my finger and received a 3rd degree burn and a brand new scar. I will still use paracord though, just next time when I melt my ends I'll wear some gloves.
My review says that I give paracord a 5/5 but forget fractions, paracord deserves a 7/5 easily!!!
