Paracord
is the abbreviated term for parachute cord used by paratroopers during WWII. Each strand of parachute cord can hold up to
550 lbs. of weight before breaking. Due
to its strength and versatility, once paratroopers landed safely on the ground
they made use of their parachutes’ cord in a host of other practical ways. To find out more about paracord rope and its
history you can visit the Wikipedia article.
Today,
paracord is still used by civilians and the military. While wearing a paracord bracelet, you carry
around with you the strength and versatility of the parachute cord. It has countless uses and ideal to wear while
you are camping, boating, hiking, biking, etc. In an emergency, you can take off the bracelet,
unravel it, and use it for things such as a dog leash, shoe or boot laces,
starting a fire, as a tourniquet, dental floss, fishing line, repairing a back
pack, making a clothesline, tying down anything, marking a trail, or repairing
a strap. Its uses are very numerous.
