ATWOOD ROPE Paracord 550 Type III Black Reflective 100 ft (30m): Military-grade quality made in USA and exceptional strength
ATWOOD ROPE is the supplier for the US Army. This paracord 550 Black Reflective offers a breaking strength of up to 550 pounds, or about 250 kg. Its 4 mm diameter core is composed of a braid of 7 nylon strands, themselves braided, covered with a braided sheath of 32 nylon threads with a Grey or black reflective finish. This latter finish allows it to reflect light for better visibility. Its elasticity allows for a 30% stretch to absorb sudden tensions.Versatile, essential in the survival kit
Used for manufacturing parachute suspension lines, paracord is the essential tool for any bushcraft-type expedition. It can be used to make a harness, a bracelet, or to hang a hammock in the forest. You can also consider using it to replace shoe laces in an emergency or to wrap the handle of a knife or axe. Its nylon structure makes it rot-proof and resistant to mold even when used in a very humid environment. As nylon does not absorb water, it also dries very quickly. 3 meters of paracord 550 are needed to make a survival bracelet, which will allow you to carry a good length everywhere with you without sacrificing storage space.
