550 paracord is military grade cord first used during WWII on parachutes. Servicemen were able to use this cord from their parachutes for a number of different reasons. 550 means that the cord is able to support 550 lbs before breaking. Although it is fairly easy to see what several feet of rope can be used for, its important to know that the cord gets its strength from the seven strands of two-ply yarns. So while the rope itself has several uses, the guts of the cord serves several purposes as well. Here are several ways to use the cord: Replacement shoelaces Replacement belt Clothes-line Support line for shelter Tying branches together for shelter Trip-line for trapping game Line for snares Fishing line Fishing net Cord for a bow-drill (to make fire) Tying splints Tourniquets Sewing threads Emergency line to rappel Line to hang a bear bag and literally anything you would need to use a rope for (as long as you have enough cord that is) Easy to see why its called a survival bracelet eh?
