This is supposed to be a survival bracelet but nowhere does it mention how long the paracord is when unraveled?

Its not that big, if anything you should get the biggest size. Mine didn't fit me, maybe if You have smaller wrists You should get the medium size other than that the small size is to small even for my niece and she's 2 years old

I did a quick search on how to make one, and there was a simple formula pending on the length of cord needed to make the bracelet. I thought there was a total of 1 inch to 1 foot ratio. I recommend doing a quick search on how to make one. Hope this helps.

i've ordered two 1000' black paracords. I've received two different types of 1000' black paracord. One roll is with 7 white strands, the other has 7 white strands and 1 orange. What I use this for is to make flask carriers. My preference is the "7/1". I would like to request an order for the "Commercial Black 1000' " roll. Is there any chance when I order this, my request will be honored? It works better with the commercial grade when tying the knots (smaller).

It's pretty long....I dont remember for sure, but I had to cut quite a bit off and then melt it with a lighter to get it to the right length

Hi Gatorman! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Apologies for the delayed answer! We do not recommend for this particular grenade paracord product that you re-braid it after use unless you are experienced doing so (many tutorials can be found online for countless instructional videos) We do have a DIY paracord kit that comes with a few simple knot instructions though that you may be interested instead. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Paracord-Kit-firestarters-instructions/dp/B00KGNZBT6/. If I can be of any further help to you, please let me know at our customer service link here:

I personally didn't have any problems with the thread, so I'm GUESSING it's safety knottd. As for the clasp, mine was easily taken off. My 4 month could take it off. Now I only had my product for a few hours so I hardly got to look at all the details of it. I'm hoping this answer was some what helpful.

I used a digital vernier on 4 random pieces and got 0.22-0.23 in i.d. or 5.7-5.8 mm i.d., Atlantco "7-strand" 550 paracord is roughly 0.15 in o.d. or 3.8 mm o.d. for example (compresses too easily to get a vernier on) so regulation paracord easily passses thru the holes.

Hey, Patrick: Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec, here. Thanks for your question! I suspect that you are asking this question because there is quite a lot of Paracord on Amazon and other places that claim to be compliant with the MilSpec ... but just arent. We've noticed ... heavy sigh ... too! We have all of the MIL-C-5040H documentation in our files but it is so complicated that we don't bother to confuse our customers by sending it out. What we consider to be better is ... now we are sending out an ebook called, "We Love MilSpec Paracord and So Will You!" which explains in great detail and with very high resolution close-up pictures, all about the differences between MIL-C05040H Paracord and commercial Paracord. Inside of our ebook, we also provide a link to download your own copy of MIL-C-5040H. It's a tough read - 19 pages of "government" type writing, but it's good for Paracord Snobs, like us ... or for insomnia! Hope this helps! Keep Charging! Darren Wright, Customer Service Manager Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM)

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

No, it does not come with a paracord lanyard. It does have a lanyard hole that appears to be about 3/16", so that you can put one on yourself, but it does not come with one.

its 550 cord... its used by the military for parachuting (among other things). THOSE knots dont fail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

It is still in the package as I haven't used it yet, but it is coiled, hang on . ok it stretches to over 3 ft with still cord to go. hope this helps

It's not Para cord (550 cord) its nylon I replaced it and its a great knife easy to sharpen holds an edge for a while and you can't beat the price. It's a great buy for your buck

I honestly never unraveled it. Without doing so, it can sit on top of the laptop and reach a back/side port easily. I'd say the cord is 3-4x that length. The specifics should be in the description section, or you can look it up through the manufacturer website.

We don't splice our Paracord anywhere. That said; our 1000 Footers "May come in up-to two sections." It sometimes happens but we avoid it. All of our other lengths 50, 100, 200 and 500Ft. are guaranteed continuous with no splices. Bill... TOUGH-GRID
