    1. Best cordage

      This stuff is amazingly strong for its size. It's inner strands have dozens of uses, I recommend anyone get some of this.

    2. 550 PARACORD

      Posted by Nick Leinbach on 17th Jul 2009

      I was not expecting this fast of shipment to start off with. I didn't get a tracking # with my confirmation email. I sent an email to Ron and he replied in a timely fashion! Wow what a relief in this time and day when the majority companies promise everything and deliver less, this company is what America is all about. I received my 550 PARACORD and was extremely impressed with how durable it is! I will do business again in the future with this company!

    3. 550 Paracord is the best

      Posted by James Rojek on 22nd Jun 2009

      I bought three hanks from Ron and survival topics. I had already bought some similar sized cord from REI (which is a great store) but didn't realize the strength difference until compared to Ron's 550. The inner cores can be really useful from what I see and the price is very fair. I appreciate the fair prices, real info, and stress on safety. Thanks!!

    4. Not Fake 550 but Real 550 Paracord

      Posted by Sam in Alaska on 13th May 2009

      I like the professional way this 550 paracord has been coiled by Ron. It fits perfectly in the left hand pouch of my backpack, snag-free and ready for use whenever needed.

      Thank you Ron for showing me how to coil the paracord like this! Now that I know how I do the same for all my cords and ropes.

    5. Yep, this is real Mil-Spec 550 Cord

      I bought some cheaper stuff from a company I won't mention. Compared to Ron's paracord this stuff was thin an had an odd feel to it. It just didn't feel dependable.

      I was inspired to add some paracord to my survival kit after reading Ron's article on making fish traps from plastic bottles. A ten foot piece of paracord is enough to make a dozen of these traps and then some.

      The trap is in the pond out back - and catching fish!
