Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is 550 Type paracord and what does the 550 rating mean?

A: "550" refers to the minimum breaking strength rating of the cord — 550 lbs (approximately 250 kg) when new. Type III 550 paracord features a 9-strand inner core surrounded by a braided outer sheath, making it one of the most versatile and reliable utility cords used in camping, bushcraft, and survival situations.

Q: Can this paracord be used for climbing or rappelling?

A: No. This paracord is designed for general outdoor utility use such as tent rigging, gear lashing, handle wrapping, and crafting. It is not rated for load-bearing or life-safety activities like climbing or rappelling. Always use purpose-certified climbing rope and safety equipment for those activities.

Q: How many cores does this paracord have and why does it matter?

A: This paracord has a 9-strand inner core. The inner strands add significant tensile strength and can be separated for use as thinner cords in a pinch — handy for fishing line, stitching, or first-aid situations in the field. More inner strands generally means a stronger, more capable cord.

Q: Is 100 metres enough for camping and survival use?

A: Absolutely. A 100-metre spool is extremely generous and provides enough cord for multiple tent setups, camp systems, and emergency applications. You can always cut to length as needed, and the ends can be heat-sealed to prevent fraying.
