Paracord

Paracord is a lightweight, strong nylon rope originally used in parachutes that has become essential gear for camping and backpacking. It consists of a nylon sheath surrounding multiple inner strands, giving it excellent strength-to-weight ratio and versatility in outdoor applications. Campers and hikers use paracord for countless tasks including securing tarps and guy lines, hanging bear bags, emergency repairs, setting up clotheslines, and creating makeshift gear when standard equipment fails.
