Paracord – the ultimate survival line for all your kit
In outdoor, bushcraft and military use, few things are as indispensable as paracord. Originally developed as parachute cord during the Second World War, paracord has become standard kit for anyone who spends time outdoors. We stock a large range of original Paracord 550, which combines very high breaking strength with a very low weight.
What is Paracord 550?
The name "550" refers to the cord's breaking strength of 550 lb (approx. 250 kg). The secret behind the strength lies in the construction: an outer sheath of woven nylon protects 7–9 inner nylon strands. These inner strands can be pulled out and used individually for tasks that need a finer thread – which makes paracord one of the most versatile tools in your backpack.
Endless uses in the field
Only your imagination limits what you can use parachute cord for. Here are some of the most popular uses among our customers:
Survival & bushcraft: Rigging tarps and shelters, boot laces, or as fishing line using the inner strands.
Tactical kit: Personalise your knives and multi-tools with lanyards that give a better grip, or use it to attach kit to your plate carrier or backpack.
Creative knotting: Many people use our colourful paracord to tie their own survival bracelets, belts or dog leads.
Repairs: A quick fix if a strap breaks on your bag, or if you need a washing line in camp.
Colours and camo
We stock paracord in a wide range of variants. You will find everything from the classic tactical colours such as Olive Drab (OD Green), Coyote Tan and Black to more eye-catching "safety" colours such as orange and neon, which are easy to find on the forest floor. We also have patterned cords that match the most popular camo patterns.
