Just interested in 550 paracord....
Ray Boyes
Hi, I'm Ray Boyes, owner of Lifeline Braids. An Army Ranger shared with me the basics of braiding with 550 paracord and I began making bracelets and other items. I have always been interested in 550 paracord and its unlimited uses for survival. Our military began using it in WWII and it is listed today by survival specialists as a must have for every survival kit. Each of our bracelets can be unbraided in a survival situation and provide you with 8 to 10 feet of 550 paracord to use. The bracelets are a unique way to carry a survival tool with you at all times. The clip attached to each bracelet allows you to carry the 550 paracord by: wearing it, clipping it to a backpack, placing it in your vehicle, home, camper/rv, boat, etc.
550 Paracord - Parachute Cord
Military grade 550 paracord is a Kernmantle rope known as Mil-C-5040 Type 3. It is made of nylon so that it dries quickly and is mildew resistant. It is 1/8 inch in diameter and is rated for 550 lbs. As a Kernmantle rope type, its interior core (the kern) protected with a woven exterior sheath or mantle that optimizes strength, durability, and flexibility. You can easily remove the individual 7 strands from inside the sheath and combine them into many configurations. Listed below are just some of the purposes 550 paracord can be used for.
Securing Equipment, Shoe Laces, Vehicle TieDowns, Clothes Lines, Binding, Splints, Tooth Floss, Twine, Repairing Equipment, Fishing Line, Anchor Line, Making a shelter, Sewing Fabric, etc.
