Review on πŸ’ͺ Atwood Rope MFG 5.6MM BattleCord - Unbeatable 2650lb Tensile Strength by Luis Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hard but strong. 550 fits most things! The Atwood Rope MFG

The knots aren't the best. This material is similar to the 4G cable, but it is very good because you can hang a smart car on it if necessary. I had 100 feet of cheap rope at the store when I couldn't find a 550 or 1100 paracord after I cut my canvas slings for something and it sagged so much it even tripled and was tensioned with all sorts of advanced rope methods. I'm trained in both swiftwater rescue and crevasse rescue, so I can tweak some of the descent systems to eliminate slack in the system. The cheap line was like the gold line in the old days of climbing. Essentially a rubber band. I tend to overcompensate so it was paracord on steroids. I just installed a ridge line in an MMO with a manter on one side to block slack. I could hang my hammock on it. If I'm into pulleys and things like that, it's definitely Smart Car. But I only had clothes, battery operated flashlights and maybe a sleeping bag.

Pros
  • BattleCord is proudly made in the heart of Ohio, USA. Not Life Line
Cons
  • Not bad
