Product Information

No. A Bug Out Frag has a shell of 550 paracord wound in a way that resembles a hand grenade ( 9). Inside are some survival essentials including a knife, waterproof matches or lighter, a wire saw, whistle and more. Because the Bug Out Frag resembles a hand grenade, TSA will not allow it anywhere near the cabin of an airplane. And that would be true even if it did not contain a knife, incendiaries and more. The Bottom Line

Paracord can be used in a medical emergency– Paracord is more than the sum of its parts. You can break it down and use the individual yarns to create sutures in an emergency situation. If a person is incapacitated and they need to be carried the skilled outdoorsman can craft a paracord stretcher to transport the injured. It can also be used to craft splints and slings. High-quality 550 paracord stretches much more than most people think. If it is made properly it should stretch 30 percent without breaking. The military actually requires exactly that of any paracord it uses. So if you see a paracord that claims to be ‘mil-spec’ but it does not stretch at least 30 percent without breaking, it is not really mil-spec. Lifesaver Tools goes further than most manufacturers by offering a lifetime exchange should their cord ever fade or lose its integrity due to mold or mildew. 8. Tough-Grid 750 lb Paracord That means it’s great for tying down heavy loads, securing tents against howling winds and conveying supplies up and over difficult terrain. 6. Golberg 550 lb Paracord There are a lot of paracord manufacturers who promote their 550 paracord as being ‘mil-spec’ when it isn’t. Mil-spec means it is not only woven from 7 strands, but that each of those strands contains 3 yarns, not 2. Bengku Outdoor Mil-Spec 550 Paracord is the genuine article, however, and for that it nails down our number 2 spot, in spite of offering only 6 colors.If there’s no suture kit, inner threads of a paracord can be used as an emergency alternative to stitch up wounds Elevate your DIY projects with our charming Grogu Paracord Beads, designed with precision and creativity.

Sometimes you want something a bit more robust than standard 550 pound paracord. Paracord Planet provides it with their outstanding 750 lb Mil-Spec Paracord. This tough, durable cord features 11 strands of 3 yarns each and has a minimum failure rating of 750 pounds. Any and all nylon rope will stretch to some degree. How far it will stretch will depend on the way the rope is constructed. Paracord does not make good climbing rope because it stretches too far and simply cannot withstand the forces created by a falling person. Climbing rope is nylon, but it has a tough, tightly wound inner core that limits stretching to 15 percent. Static nylon ropes used for conveying loads up or down a mountain have the least amount of stretch. How Many Types of Paracord Are There?Paracord can help you get a grip– Not every item in your everyday carry (EDC) comes with an ideal grip. Paracord can be wrapped around the handle of a fixed blade knife to improve your grip in any weather conditions. In the event of an emergency, the paracord can be unwound and used for any of the reasons outlined above. Paracord can be used to make a fashion statement– Those paracord bracelets we mentioned earlier are not just handy in an emergency situation, they are also very much in demand by fashion-conscious urbanites and suburbanites. It’s not a prospect that is going to interest most preppers, but paracord is available in so many colors that it was inevitable that it would find a place on the fashion runway. Paracord on the other hand, is made by weaving together a number of smaller strands and then wrapping them in a sheath, much like climbing rope. Typically there are 7 – 11 of these strands, and each strand is comprised of 2 or 3 smaller strands called ‘yarns’. So you will have anywhere from 14 to 33 yarns inside a typical length of 550 paracord.
