Review on πŸ§— Rothco 550lb. Type III Nylon Paracord: Durable and Strong Survival Gear by Jon Ford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Camouflage 100ft Best I've ever spent

About the same thickness as clog laces, very nice woodland camouflage pattern, goes well with green and tan, 7 inner strands, ALL white, from my backpack . Experience, make a VERY good thread for repairing your tent or backpack, just grab a needle or two. The cord can be tripled to tie together impromptu awnings and hammocks. I found this quite counterproductive, you always need a knife and a fire or scissors in a multi-tool to cut and fuse (try not biting wood with your teeth or a saw, that doesn't work, not even the sharp rock I didn't find a clean cut at the pond) and worn out) but in a camping/bushcraft scenario you're dead unless you've got a knife and a fire. If you want rescue/security buy bright colors, if you want stealth/tactical camouflage buy the 100ft camouflage, it was sold by Makais and fulfilled by Amazon. Today I made a shoelace out of it for my old jogging pants and laced my hiking boots with it. BUY 100 feet, the price per foot of this material is ridiculous if you only order 50 and you will find a use for it immediately. I even used it to repair my broken chain for the cistern. I never tested POUNDAGE for breaking strength, but I can say that the TRIPLE wicker hammocks I made kept my 270 lb uncle about 2 feet off the ground. You braid it like a human hair. Good luck and ALWAYS have your gear with you when you leave the house.

Pros
  • Hunting and fishing
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
