Review on ๐Ÿชข 1000-Foot Olive Drab Green Parachute Cord - Type III Military Specification 550 for Enhanced SEO by Vincent Burton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap, damn strong, unobtrusive, rainproof, almost better than duct tape!

I keep skeins of these in the back of my truck where they are exposed to the weather for months. And when I'm ready to secure the engine block, luggage racks, tarps, junk, furniture or whatever else in the back of my truck, I've yet found NOTHING easier to tie them faster, more conveniently or more securely than these parachute line. That's when I discovered that he makes the BEST laces for shoes and boots. You can wrap a double length around the hitch and tie a quick wooden hitch, or stretch a rope around a log and take it anywhere. You can tie your tent poles stronger than your tent and pegs, suitable for ANY storm. It's a fantastic wood saw line. And if your saw can't cut through that thick branch fast enough, you can tie a load to one end, throw it over the end of the tall branch, tie the other end to the hitch and just pull the beech down and you're done! (or an insanely tall and thick dead branch of a live oak that isn't accessible by stairs, as in my case). 1000 feet is a lot, but you *will* use it, and quite a few will wander around never to return when friends and neighbors see how useful it is. But for the price per penny foot, it's at least as useful as duct tape, used more often than any other rope I have at home, and more water and weather resistant. You need it! You just don't know it yet! And if you don't know tying knots is what's holding you back, try these Nite-Ize Figure 9 ties here at Revain and keep a few in your glove box or on the bench of your car or truck for the off-plan Purchases that you need to secure for a while. . go home.
