This stuff is invaluable and has almost an infinite number of uses. I have seen a few stores trying to pass off cheaper ropes as parachute cord, so be sure you are buying the real thing. This stuff has a breaking strength of 550 lbs as-is, but if needed, it can be taken apart. Inside the nylon shell, there are seven braided strands that can be removed, so if need be, you can really have eight times the length of whatever you are packing. I carry around 50 ft. of the stuff on just about any kind of outdoors trip I take. It is commonly available in green and black, but if you search online, you can find a wide range of colors.
