💪 Atwood Rope MFG 5.6MM BattleCord - Unbeatable 2650lb Tensile Strength Review

Rope may be stiff. However, it is too rigid. Originally bought as a Prusik loop. But since it's so damn stiff it won't snag on the main rope. Being very stiff, it can pose a major risk to many types of knots. For those unlucky enough like me, you can try pulling and pushing with pliers to tie knots. However, tying it this way, even with hand tools, will likely loosen the rope some. Certain do not recommend this for live or valuable cargo.

Well if Superman is a lot stronger than a human then Battlecord is a lot stronger than Paracord. I have 550, 750, 850 and 1000# paracords (Titanium Survivor Cord XT. Very good stuff too) and this is the only one I could use as a tether or tow strap for the emergency toilet as you can use the absolute cutting strength of up to 1/ 3 for workload (WLL). This makes the Battlecord 883# WLL, which you can definitely use to pull/raise/lower a patient's stretcher, and considering it weighs so little…

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…

So it's basically a heavy duty paracord. It's a little stiff out of the box, but it's great to use. For those of us who have been using paracord for years, you should know that it does get tangled from time to time. Not only is it basically a giant strand of paracord, the added rigidity of the sheath makes it a dream to work with. I've used this for ridge lines and a variety of hammock setups where I've increased some large spacing between trees. It is remarkably well preserved and very durable
