By Tyler K. Smith
After I bought my first string of 100 ft paracord, I realized how insanely useful it was. I use it for just about everything, I seriously believe it is even more useful than duct tape. At first, I only purchased 100 ft from a military surplus website but it only took maybe a little over 2 months to completely eat through my supply. When I discovered the great priced paracord here on Amazon, I bought 300 feet so it would last me a little longer (I only have about 50 feet left so I might want to make another order) I love paracord mostly because of its size and strength. It really confounds me how something that I've used as shoelace string can hold up 3 people my size easily without breaking. After my wonderful experiences with paracord, I've gotten to the point where I laugh at people who've never used it. Oh, but a word of warning about paracord and nylon rope in general, when you melt the ends (after cutting a section off) be very careful about keeping the drippings off your skin...just yesterday I got a huge glob of molten nylon on my finger and received a 3rd degree burn and a brand new scar. I will still use paracord though, just next time when I melt my ends I'll wear some gloves.
My review says that I give paracord a 5/5 but forget fractions, paracord deserves a 7/5 easily!!!

People - Nobody is suggesting that you use 550 cord in place of actual climbing rope. 550 cord is often used to secure equipment and keep it from falling (such as an ice pick or carabiners). It is also used as rope-step lines (where you wrap it around your climbing rope, stick your feet in it, and bear weight on it). It is also used to pull gear from ground-level up a cliff-face after the climber has made it up since 550 cord is thinner and lighter, so more of it can be carried.

This particular item is fairly well known, and it is extremely useful. This nylon para cord has been tested to hold up to 550 pounds. Keep in mind, that's with dead weight hanging, no moving or jerking. Also keep in mind that any knot (such as a bowline knot) will weaken the cord by as much as 50%. The various uses of para cord are endless. Some common uses are:
Setting small game traps or snares (as opposed to cable/wire)
Creating lanyards for things such as knives and cameras.
Pitching tents
A quick clothes line to dry your wet clothes on
Securing a tarp
The possibilities are endless!
So, to sum it up...
Pros:
It's fairly cheap
Comes in several different colors
It's strong
Very useful
Cons:
It stretches (slightly), so that extra-tight clothesline you just put up will sag a little.
It frays on trees.

Paracord is NOT for climbing. Do not buy this as climbing rope. There is a reason that climbing rope is expensive; it's designed to be able to be rubbed on and tied to rocks, trees, and etc. Also, climbing rope is designed to catch you softly if you fall; the rope stretches a bit and slows you down before jerking you. Paracord is not. With a 550lb breaking strength, a 175lb. person would only have to fall for about a third of a second to snap this. Do not buy this for climbing. Do not buy this for repelling, either; paracord is not particularly good at keeping things away, like bears. Rope in general isn't good at repelling. *Rappelling*, on the other hand, is generally able to be done with rope. Paracord is not for climbing. For other things, it is great. But, not climbing. Or rappelling.
