Ok, I’ve got $40 or so worth of para cord in my Amazon cart because of you. A 250’ spool for the house, and a couple 100’ bundles for the cars.

Don’t buy it from amazon.

Gimme a couple hours til I get back to regular computer and I’ll tell you the name of a supplier to the US military.

You can pick up 1,000 ft of 550 paracord from them for 35-40 bucks.

Then you cut that down to 150ft increments for your various areas it will be stored.

I only had 1,000 ft because I had my 30 day pack in the trunk.

In my other bags I carry 300 feet because it takes up so little room compared to other rope but,has the strength and flexibility without cutting a perfectly good climbing rope

Ping me layer and Ill get the supplier.

Ill even tell you how to coil your rope so you won’t find it binds or gets tangled when you take it apart for use.

It’s a figure 8 technique that will unable to easily pull off rope and it won’t tangle. its a different technique than that for climbing rope and due to the diameter of paracord 550 a better way.

Several years ago, I realized I had NO rope in my preps. I did some research and found Para Cord and bought it on Amazon. Para Cord is magnificent in strength, plus it can be separated into separate strands and used that way. It is the rope to have.
