Paracord is one thing that should be in any survival pack or bug out bag because its uses are practically limitless and it’s extremely tough.
If you know how to tie a few good knots, paracord can replace anything from worn out strings in clothing to dog leashes. Paracord is also extremely inexpensive, so it’s a great idea to add some to your bug out bag.
Paracord Planet sells high quality Type III 550 Paracord at an affordable price. The main reason outdoorsmen love paracord is that it’s extremely tough in all conditions.
The 550 refers to the amount of weight it can hold with one strand before snapping which is 550 pounds.
The Type III refers to the fact that the 7 strands that make up the cord are each made of 3 even smaller strands, which makes the cord MIL-SPEC, or military standard.
This makes it almost impossible to break by just pulling on it, so you can use it to secure items you don’t want to be washed away by water (fish trap) or by wind (your shelter).
You can also use the paracord to make snares for catching rabbits, coyotes, and other animals.
This paracord can also survive all kinds of conditions. It’s impervious to UV damage, mold, water damage, and heat up to 470 degrees Fahrenheit. You won’t have to worry about it giving out because it rained, or because it’s been sitting out in the hot sun for days on end.
Paracord comes in different colors, designs, and lengths. Paracord Planet offers literally hundreds of different options – ranging from camo to neon orange to straight black. You can buy it in lengths of 10 up to 100 feet.
