Paracord is the #1 survival cord due to its versatility and dependability. It was originally used as suspension lines for parachutes. Many people make paracord into shoelaces, bracelets, and even wrap it around handles of knives for that emergency situation. Due to its capacity to hold up to 550 pounds many people use it for tie downs and holds. Some paracord can even be used for fire starter.
