In fact, there are hundreds of possible alternatives to its use, which makes the paracord a valuable addition to any set of equipment and equipment for survival. Below is a list of more than 100 ways to use the paracord to show how universal it can be.

Paracord is so universal that you may have a desire to purchase it in huge quantities for camping and hiking. Since this product is available in a variety of colors, it can be bundled with various packages, sports bags, cartridges for ammunition, equipment, weapons, and many other types of equipment to identify things according to the color code.

Paracord can be used as a cutting tool (for example, as a friction saw). The rope section can be used to cut another piece of parakord or similar material, for example, nylon or a thin strap. Just drive him from side to side, and he will cut his way.

Let's continue: if you have enough rope, you can create a rope with an even bigger diameter, spinning the paracord by hand, or with a simple weaving, as shown in these examples. Since the standard paracord can withstand a load of 550 pounds, the resulting rope with a large diameter will have a strength of 550 times more per rope in the weave.

Three pieces of parakord woven together, as shown here, create a rope that can withstand 1650 pounds. Such a rope can be useful in many emergency situations, for example, be used as a life-line for leaving a burning building, etc.

Each of the above components has a variety of applications, either alone or in combination with other equipment.

The outer braid is a strong tubular braid that can withstand a load of more than 300 pounds. The braid can be worn over electrical wires to provide additional insulation and abrasion resistance. It can also serve as good straps and laces for small items.
