The true best paracord survival bracelet is made of 100% nylon and is therefore extremely light, strong and durable. This is why it was used for parachutes in the first place. High quality paracord will hold as much as 500 pounds and more. Which means it’s not just good for building a shelter. A person could theoretically use it to lower equipment down a sheer face before making the descent themselves. If need be they may even be able to use the cord to lower themselves down. Provided of course there was sufficient cord available and the person was sufficiently resourceful. Beyond that nylon paracord is also strong enough to make a formidable game trap should you be lost in the wild for an extended period and find yourself in need of food.\r
