ATWOOD ROPE Paracord 550 Grey 100 ft (30m): Military-grade quality made in USA with exceptional strength
ATWOOD ROPE is the supplier to the US Army. This
paracord 550 Grey 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 in Grey or
black reflective finish. This latter finish allows light reflection 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 very humid environments. As nylon doesn't 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.
