LIST Paracord
PARACORD CORD, or parachute cord, is a lightweight nylon cord originally used in the suspension lines of American parachutes during World War II. Due to its extreme strength, durability, and versatility, it has become an indispensable tool for survivors, outdoor enthusiasts, and craftsmen alike. The total length of the cord is 2 m.
Paracord construction
Paracord consists of two main parts:
- Sheath: A braided outer layer made of nylon fibers. It is colored and protects the core. The sheath is braided from 32 or 36 strands.
- Core (Kern): An inner bundle of thin nylon threads. These provide the cord with its tremendous load capacity. The core consists of 7 double threads.
Tip: In an emergency, the sheath can be cut open and the inner threads can be used separately as fishing line or sewing thread.
Material advantages
- High strength: In proportion to its weight, it is incredibly strong.
- UV resistance: Colors do not fade quickly in sunlight.
- Does not rot: Nylon is synthetic, so it does not mold or decompose even when wet.
- Elasticity: It can stretch (approximately 30%), which helps absorb shocks.
The diameter of the paracord cord is 4 mm with a load capacity of up to 240 kg (applies to undamaged cord and compliance with the corresponding regulations).
Practical uses
- Outdoor and Survival
- Shelter building: Tensioning tarps and sheets.
- Shoe lace replacement: An extremely durable alternative for hiking boots.
- Gear repairs: Tying broken backpack straps.
- First aid: Making splints or an improvised tourniquet.
How to recognize quality paracord?
- Material: Genuine paracord is 100% nylon. Cheap polyester substitutes are stiff, slippery, and have lower load capacity.
- Ends: After cutting, ends can be easily sealed with a lighter (nylon melts, cotton burns).
Paracord is NOT a climbing rope. Although it has high static load capacity, it is not designed for dynamic shocks of a human body during a fall. Never use it for personal safety or rappelling!
Paracord is available in the colors:
- black
- nightmare
- orange
- olive
- coyote
