Now that I have more time to work on projects I have been doing a lot with paracord for hunting products. It was brought to my attention not everyone knows what the craze is about paracord. A lot of people like it because it looks "cool" and "tactical" but the reality is it is one of the most versatile cords you could carry with you. For instance the survival bracelet you can find under the Country Creations post is more than just a fancy compass clip that can start a fire if you need to it also is approximately 6 feet of 550 paracord when it is unwrapped. Why is that so important? Because the "550" stands for 550 lbs of force that the cord can withstand. That's right that ~1/4cm strand can hold 550 pounds on its own so when it is braided like the dog leashes you can also find it will hold ~ 2200 lbs of force.
Here are a few snips from google articles as well to sum up the benefits of paracord:
"Paracord can always be braided or doubled up for extra strength or deconstructed for finer thread, making it incredibly versatile. Its ends can melted or crimped to prevent fraying, and its nylon construction can withstand nature's elements, making it the go-to survival tool in emergency preparation kits."
"Is paracord the same as rope?

- Burn It Up. ...
- Keep Bears at Bay. ...
- Make a Fire. ...
- Build a Survival Bow. ...
- Try a Paracord Trap. ...
- Go Fish. ...
- Lure Them In."
