550 cord is one of the most useful tools you can have with you at all times. From a survival standpoint it’s something you need to have considering the multitude of uses. The packaging is neat and easy to clip on with the included carabiner. Remember to only use appropriate gear when climbing or anchoring lines though, this little ring is just for light items. Stress tested the line and found no faults so far, for the price it’s perfect for my needs
Bought to use as bear bag line to see better in the woods. I haven’t used it for that yet but recently used it for a drying line while primitive camping and at night looked through the woods with a headlamp from 100 yards away and it shined bright .
This is my second purchase of paracord. I love it for the strength & reliability of the cord. I have hung up to 60 lbs; of food in a tree with this cord & no problems.
Can't say much about 550 parachute chord that hasn't been said in the past. However, about the reflective portion of the multi-use chord, it enhances its visibility for use during the dusk through dark hours. Tent guidelines, and zipper pull tabs, etc.... in naming a few ideas. Love the idea of not only being visible but being safe.
This is a great general purpose paracord at a fair price. It is strong and smooth. Knots are easy to set and easy to release. It is strong enough to take most of the stretch out over a long run. The included (no climb) biner is good quality lagniappe. Great addition to my camp pack.
High quality paracord. Used it to hang my hammock and it held tremendously well.
I replaced my boot laces with this 55 paracord. Stronger and reflective!
Its reflectiveness at night is very good. Helps you not run into it.
550 Paracord is a useful size and is reflective. I used some for knife grips and it works great.
Great for use around camp: tarps, etc. great glow in dark under light. Strong enough for camp use.
