What is paracord?
During the Second World War, paracord was used for parachute lines. Although it is no longer used for that purpose, it remains a very popular product. It is widely used by outdoor enthusiasts, hikers and survival enthusiasts because it is weather-resistant, strong and reliable. A paracord consists of a nylon sheath, with a whole host of nylon strands inside. Because these can also be split, a paracord is extremely versatile. For example, the inner strands can be used as fishing line or thread. Depending on the type of paracord, the tensile strength ranges from as much as 249 to 340 kilograms.
