Paracord has a wide range of uses as a general-purpose rope and as real survival cord. Don't let this rope's small size fool you - it's strong, abrasion-resistant, all the while being compact and lightweight. Can be used for hundreds of different applications - ideal for outdoor, camping, and recreation use but also works great as a general utility cord around the home or yard because of its small size and big strength. Do not use for overhead lifting. Never exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL).
