Yes, you can shower with your paracord bracelet on. Just make sure to take it off before you get in the water and put it back on when you're done.
1100 paracord is incredibly strong and versatile. It is most often used in the construction of outdoor gear and equipment, as it is able to withstand harsh weather conditions and repeated use. This type of cord is also often used in emergency situations, as it can support a lot of weight and can be easily tied off to create a sturdy anchor point.

rapid delivery of goods (1 day ahead of 2-day delivery estimate). In labeled, sealed, clear bags, the paracord was sent. It was quite simple to hank the paracord because of the way it was wrapped and looped (less than 5 minutes per 100 foot length).More importantly, this 750# paracord complies with MIL-C-5040-H Type IV specifications and is 100% ORIGINAL (manufactured in the USA). In my workshop, I put a 20-foot length through various tests for toughness, elasticity, knotting, etc. The paracord worked perfectly.For what it's worth, I was an Army infantry officer who loved the outdoors and served in numerous combat missions. I've created stretchers out of paracord, built rafts, built shelters, field dressed wildlife, and many other things using it. This paracord would be rated as a "full confidence" addition to my equipment, meaning that it can be trusted to carry out tasks within the bounds of its intended use.

This paracord has the seven interior strands twisted most tightly of any type III 550 paracord that is readily available to the general public. The sheath is also more snug than the majority of the other 550 paracords that have been purchased. Even though I was able to tell it apart from real 3 mil parachute rope when they were side by side after closer inspection, I would never use consumer paracord in place of the real thing. Since the "Tough-Grid" paracord is about 50% more expensive than a number of other paracords on Amazon, it might as well be cheaper if you only plan to use it for crafts. FYI, although I have previously discovered some type IV parachord with comparable quality to this, this is the highest grade type III parachord I have come across. Since I haven't yet tested its braking strength, I can't compare it to other paracord (most of which fail before 550 pounds) or true 3 mil parachute cord (which always meets or exceeds 550 pounds) in that regard. If anyone has tested this paracord's true breaking strength, please publish the results.

The 100-foot length of paracord that I purchased is exactly what was described. Its loose packing in a plastic bag is why I deducted one point from it. It just comes laid out in loose coils rather than coiled around a rod.As a result, it got tangled on me when I tried to transfer it on a rod. Other than that, it performs as promised and is excellent for all uses. For various applications, I always keep a 50-foot length in my trunk. I still think it's worth the money.

Saying "I love it" over what is essentially some rope seems strange. What a rope, though! In terms of its usefulness, paracord is a contemporary miracle, and I have a massive 1000-foot spool of it in my garage. Recently, I experimented with creating various weaves and knots for the lanyards on items like knives, machetes, and other tools. To break up the monotony, I started ordering some "fancy" colors. My item arrived really fast thanks to the vendor, and it was just as described and depicted in the pictures. The cuts are good enough that they must have a line cutter that simply melts through the line and cuts and seals it in one motion because the ends were not frayed but rather fused together. Others have complained about internal knots, fraying, and receiving less fabric than purchased, but I had none of those problems. Even though I'm not an expert in paracord, I believe that this particular designation should have 7 internal nylon strands, and sure enough, when I cut a length of the mainline, there were 7 internal strands (see photo)! I'm not sure if the appearance of these strands—which reminds me of two smaller strands woven together—has anything to do with their classification as Type III. In terms of weight, I haven't stress tested these either; I'm not sure what the designation of 550 lbs truly implies, but I assume it refers to a "static" load rather than a "dynamic" load. Basically, weight support as opposed to swinging or other motions Whatever the case, this stuff is more than powerful enough for what I use it for. I typically use it to hang tarps, go camping, and lattice items to the roof of my car (Christmas trees, furniture going to Goodwill, etc.). I have complete faith in this material; it's sturdy as nails. You can see the lanyard I made with the "orange" color and some of the neon yellow spool I have in my garage in the linked photo. I've also started getting creative with my knives. I would admit that the color is a little darker than in the photo, but it is most likely just a difference in how the photo was exposed. Great stuff all around.My reviews aim to be both informative and entertaining. If this review was helpful to you, kindly click the helpful button. Thanks!

comes in a bag rather than a reel for lengths of 100 feet. Otherwise, as shown. blazing "safety" pink. I bring this material with me when we travel so I may reattach any parts of the car that are knocked off until we reach a garage. I use it for a variety of lashing and securing tasks. The pink indicates that I won't overlook the necessity to repair the bumper or the failure of a door lock.This is what you need so that the crew can tie you to the mast so you don't capsize if you are on the Med and in danger of sailing past the Sirens. Additionally useful for creating lanyards and bracelets that must be highly conspicuous or simply to show off your feminine side. If you are truly female, works just as well in all those applications.Naturally, when you cut it to length, you'll need to glue the ends or it might fray a little bit. There are many different websites with conflicting recommendations on how to approach it. I've occasionally utilized heat and superglue. Heat is quick, which is a plus. Burn risk is a drawback. No heat is a benefit of superglue. The risk of bonding oneself to the cord and anything else you touch is a drawback.A five-star item.

Despite the fact that I am blind, I camp in a remote area with no access to a hospital or other amenities. No, I wouldn't try to travel alone; to be honest, even if I were blind, I wouldn't.I opened this up and within two minutes I had located the compass, whistle, emergency knife, and fire starter. Of course, I can't use the compass, but there are other ways I can determine my direction of travel. They may not be quite as precise, but if I need to go west, I can, LoL.Anyhow, the fire starter has a black coating that needs to be removed before it will spark, according to a YouTube video I discovered. It ignited like a champ as soon as I removed the coating!The little emergency knife is located on one side of the clips that link the two ends, while the fire starter is located on the other. For a spark, you merely use both of those.The whistle and compass are also included into the clips, so everything is conveniently located on your wrist. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the fire starter's iron component could interfere magnetically with the compass. Simply remove the end clips before using the compass. The remaining paracord on the bracelet can be used to construct a trap, a shelter, and some fishing line if necessary. In all honesty, you probably won't ever need all of the paracord, but it's nice to have extra in case you need to create an emergency stretcher, a sled to haul equipment, or something else like gathering firewood.I've tried and checked out a ton of goods like these that come with accessories like fishing hooks, but they're often of very poor quality. With the exception of how the fire started, this one is truly so well crafted and designed with such common sense that a blind man figured it out on his own. This is a great item whether you camp, are interested in survival, or know someone who is!

I like it, however the braiding is quite loose, leaving the blade (dare I say?) floppy, so you're left using only your fingers to cut things when you need some leverage ( I hope that makes sense).Additionally, there were only two points of contact between the blade and the cord, which did not serve to support the blade.The blade now has four points of contact, not counting the tight braid already pushing up against the blade, providing it even more support. I re-braided the bracelet extremely tightly and added another loop of cord.The braid is so tight that the bracelet is impossible to bend, but once I've worn it for a time, it will ease up because the blade is now so securely fastened that it can stand upright.I can now gain more leverage by grabbing the bracelet. The knife can now be used as a regular knife, and in an emergency, as a self-defense tool.However, the blade is quite dull; it couldn't even cut a sheet of paper, so I used my knife sharpening kit on it.Since I kept the original blade angle, I didn't need to start sharpening with 70 grit; instead, I used 600, 800, 1000, 2000, and 3000 grit before using a strop to finish honing the blade.I was able to shave my arm with the blade because it is so razor-sharp right now.I don't really anticipate the blade material to be of the highest caliber for the price, therefore I'm not sure how long the blade will retain its sharpness.To prevent me from accidently slicing my wrist, I placed a thin coating of liquid tape to the blade. It will easily pull off when I need the blade.I also have a paracord bracelet with a knife in it, and while I prefer the design on this blade, the other one has additional features like a compass, a whistle, and a fire starter.The only reason I gave this five stars was because I was already planning to undo the cord and replace it with some 850 paracord that was made of copper, fire, and fishing line; otherwise, the original limp blade design would have required taking away two or three stars.I'm pleased with my purchase and will probably buy more of these, but I'll keep using the knife bracket with the fire starter on the other arm because it has been useful when my lighter ran out of fuel.Many thanks
750 paracord is incredibly strong and durable. It is often used in survival and camping situations because it can be used for a variety of tasks, including building shelters, making traps, and even fishing.
There are 4 types of paracord that are commonly used, which are Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV. Type I is the lightest and weakest type of paracord, while Type IV is the heaviest and strongest type. Type II and Type III are in between these two extremes in terms of weight and strength.
There are a few different sizes of paracord, but the two most common are 550 and 325 cord. 550 cord is stronger and thicker, while 325 cord is thinner and more flexible.
The military uses a variety of paracord brands, but the most common is the MIL-C-5040H type III paracord. This paracord is specifically designed for use in military applications and is made to rigorous standards. It is strong and durable, yet still lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for a wide range of uses. The MIL-C-5040H paracord is available in a variety of colors, so it can be easily color-coded for different applications.
