PARACORD PLANET 10 20 25 50 100 Foot Hanks and 250 1000 Foot Spools of Parachute 550 Cord Type III 7 Strand Paracord (Black 100 Feet)

We got this paracord specifically for making bracelets, and it’s been what we wanted. My boys really like the color, and it has that authentic paracord feel with the proper inner strands, texture, and flexibility you’d expect.The ends melt and seal cleanly, making it easy to work with. It’s your standard high-quality paracord that feels good in the hand and holds up well during use.People seem to really like this color choice, and we’ve had no trouble selling the bracelets my boys make with it. All around, a solid choice if you’re crafting, especially for kids’ projects for them to sell and make a little extra money.

The media could not be loaded. When it comes to must-have’s for my go bag, rope is definitely on the list. The options multiply 100 fold when you have access to good rope or cord in an emergency situation. There are many choices for good rope but like most other things, it all depends on what you are using it for. The material that it is made from, it’s strength, even it’s color choice have an impact on the rope that you choose. In most cases, there is never one type of rope that is the answer for every task.One of the most versatile types of cord that I always have with me in the field is 550 cord or Paracord as it is also known by. 550 Cord was initially used in the suspension line of military parachutes. As usual, since this was an awesome piece of technology, Marines & Soldiers starting using 550 cord for all sorts of applications. As a matter of fact, my first exposure to 550 cord was as a U.S. Marine. I was a brand new Marine, a Boot, and was out in the field training. A few of the senior “salty” Marines were tying things up with this cool “rope” that I had never seen before. Once we got out of the field I went to the PX and bought a few feet of 550 Paracord. It has been part of my gear ever since.I have all sorts of applications for my 550 cord. I use it for lacing on some of my boots & shoes. I dummy-cord all my gear to my packs with it so that I do not lose anything when I am on the move; especially at night. I use paracord as pigtails on a lot of carrying cases which works as a handle but also a way to always have extra paracord on hand. Even when I am in a camping situation, my go-to rope is 550 cord. Whether I am lashing up a tripod for my dutch oven or setting up my tarps, 550 cord is usually what I reach for first. It holds knots quite well and stands up against the weather. It also packs well and is light.With the recent popularity of 550 cord, things have gotten a bit confusing. It’s no secret that the trend started with the paracord bracelets and then branched off into.. EVERYTHING being made of paracord! It’s great to have all the new color choices and relatively cheap pricing but there is always a caveat. It seems like everyone manufactures paracord these days and claim their 550 cord to be the real deal. Unfortunately, not everyone is telling the truth about their cord being of military specification.However, do not let that deter you from other applications for the non Mil-Spec paracord. As long as you get & know what you are paying for, it’s all good. There are many uses for non military spec. paracord in the field. Not everything requires 550lbs of tensile strength but it’s also important that you pay for what you think that you are getting.Watch My Video Review For More Detail.

I bought the woodland camo pattern for a refurbishing project. I was given a very old wood/wicker rocking horse that had to be torn apart, sanded, and stained. The wicker was not able to be salvaged, wasn't even going to try.In lieu of wicker I wanted something easy to work with, strong, and inexpensive. This paracord worked perfectly. I ordered the 100' length and was pleased to see it was one continuous piece. The cord was repeatedly strewn through wood, folded, twisted, bent, and otherwise abused in the process of being put in place on the horse frame. It held up beautifully. No splinters, no fraying, no permanent denting, and no damage. When I cut the cord there were seven strands easily visible within the sheath. Using a lighter to seal the ends was easy and I was amazed at how it seemed to close in on itself like shrink wrap. (This being my first experience working with paracord, I was very impressed by how well it sealed compared to other types of cord, rope, or string.)It looks great and acts as a safety barrier along the rocker joints so my son will not accidentally catch himself on metal fasteners when he plays on it.There are still some areas that need to be covered and the seat needs a little more hatching to hold the pattern better so I have ordered another length of the same cord.I have many restoration projects to work on and will continue buying from this distributor when paracord is needed.

Amazing company, fantastic customer service, and great products! Would recommend to anyone. Keep up the great work!

For some reason the brown camo and woodland camo colors seem rougher and stiffer than maroon, blue, black, brown and od green all of which seem softer. Maybe having multiple colors instead of one solid color affects the manufacturing process of the outer sheath? I hadn't noticed this until I used a few cut pieces to practice tying some common knots. Otherwise it's good quality, minus one star for camo being a bit stiff which can affect knot tying and paracord bracelet making. Camo looks good as a machete wrap/lanyard.

It's the real deal. Color is exactly as described.

I have purchased a lot of paracord, and paracord products, over the years, and this is just as good as the rest. I purchased this paracord to make a few handmade toys for my subwife's and my toy box and we are both extremely pleased with how they turned out. We also use some of it for her hunting fantasy and she finds it very comfortable when it's wrapped around her wrists. If you have a similar CONSENSUAL need for 550 Cord, I highly recommend this!
