Default Paracord uses and sources
What all do y'all use paracord for and where can I find a good deal on some?

Seems like handy stuff to throw in the toolbox on the truck or just keep some around the house.

Uses? Just about anything. I've seen some deals on ebay for around $5/100ft, supposedly real 550. Also search ebay for "paracord bracelet." I think it's a good idea, but I wouldn't pay $20 for it. You can find a 'how-to' on how to make your own at Instructables - Make, How To, and DIY.

Well we went to Ranger Joe's today and I picked up a 300' roll of OD green 550.


Here's my first attempt to make something useful with it.
