Titan™ Paracord is the real-deal…GUARANTEED.  It is the same authentic 550 cord used by the U.S. Military, NASA Astronauts, and outdoor enthusiasts all around the world.

Titan™ paracord is made from 100% Nylon, measures 5/32′ in diameter, and contains 21 individual strands, braided into seven seriously-strong 3-strand yarns.  Its official military designation is MIL-C-5040-H Type III Paracord, and has a total rated tensile strength of greater than 550 lbs. This makes paracord the ultimate utility cord, as it is light and durable, quick drying, UV resistant, and resists rot and mildew.

Originally designed as the suspension lines or parachute cord for U.S. parachutes during World War II, soldiers found this cord useful for many other tasks including general utility rope, fishing, sewing, and so much more.  Today, virtually all soldiers and serious adventurers have access to the cord. 550 parachute cord is so versatile and reliable, that it was unofficially carried into space in 1997 and used by U.S astronauts to help repair the Hubble Telescope.  Since then it has been incorporated into the inner construction of spacesuits and is regularly stocked as a general-purpose utility cord in the International Space Station.

Typical uses for paracord include attaching equipment to harnesses, as dummy cords to avoid losing small or important items, tying rucksacks or backpacks to vehicle racks, securing camouflage nets or tarps to trees or vehicles, and so forth. When threaded with beads, paracord may be used as a pace counter to estimate ground covered by foot.

The yarns of the core (commonly referred to as “the guts”) can also be removed when finer string is needed, for instance as sewing thread to repair gear, or to be used as fishing line in a survival situation. The 32-strand nylon sheath itself can also be used alone, the yarn in the core removed, when a thinner or less elastic cord is needed such as when used as a boot lace.
I love paracord and this is definitely the best I have ever tried.  We have been using it for so many tasks while doing our cliff walks and climbs over the last few weeks.  We use it for projects and for tasks at the campground.  Anything you can think of from a way to carry items while on a bicycle to a way to assist family members during our walks/climbs.  I feel so secure in the fact that this is the top rated paracord – my chlidren’s lives have depended on it being excellent quality.   But for me my favorite thing is making a paracord bracelet or keychain.  Doing that allows me to take a sizeable amount of paracord with me at all times and I never know exactly when I will need to rely on it.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
