There is cord, and then there is genuine military-issue Paratrooper Cord. The Bible says that a three-fold cord is not easily broken: all the more true when your cord is made up of seven independent, ultra-strong nylon strings encased in a durable exterior for extra strength. With this green cord, a boy can snare animals for food, make a sling for his rifle, lash branches or logs together, and do a hundred other activities. The white inner strands can be used to string a fishing line, or to string a bow — you get the point. Paratrooper Cord has a breaking strength of 550 lbs. Comes in lengths of 50 ft.
