This braid is strong, durable, lightweight, quick-drying and rot-resistant. It's a popular choice, serving as the commercial version of the original military parachute cord, first developed during WWII for parachutes. The 7-strand, 2-ply core can be removed for use in survival situations, while the sheath is made up of 32 tightly woven strands. Its high tensile strength makes it ideal for both outdoor activities and home use. The patterns are sharp and vibrant, adding extra flair. A must-have for any outdoorsman or household, it's perfect for survival, emergency kits, shelters, snares, fishing, trapping, handle wraps, defense, first aid, fire bows and more.
