Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is 550 paracord and why is it called that?

A: "550 paracord" refers to parachute cord rated to hold a minimum of 550 lbs (approximately 250kg) of tensile load. It was originally developed for military parachute rigging and has since become a staple survival and outdoor rope due to its strength, flexibility, and multi-strand inner core that can be separated for individual uses.

Q: What can I use the inner strands of this 10-core paracord for?

A: The inner core strands of this 10-core paracord are designed for multiple uses. The PE thread can serve as a backup fishing line, the cotton thread is useful for sewing or fire-starting tinder, the corduroy thread adds grip for lashing, and the copper thread can function as a basic wire in a pinch — making this one of the most versatile survival ropes available.

Q: How much rope do I get and what length should I choose?

A: This paracord is available in lengths from 33FT to 100FT. For basic camping and hiking tasks, 33FT (approx. 10m) is usually sufficient. For more comprehensive survival kits or larger campsite setups, the 100FT (approx. 30m) option gives you maximum flexibility and can always be cut to size.

Q: Is this paracord safe for heavy-load applications like rappelling?

A: This paracord is rated for general outdoor and survival use. It is NOT designed or rated as life-safety climbing or rappelling rope. For life-safety vertical activities, always use certified climbing ropes that meet industry safety standards (e.g. UIAA or CE certified).
