A Beginner's Guide to Paracord Ropes

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Art Saborio

One of the favored tying materials by campers and outdoor activity enthusiasts is the paracord. These individuals have special requests for safety when it comes to such types of equipment. It means that in terms of durability and strength, a camping or outdoor activity gear must totally excel. It should also be light enough so as not to add burden to the user who might carry it over great distances. A paracord satisfies all of these requirements. Beginners are of course encouraged to learn some basics about this material.

Here are some important facts that every beginning user of paracord must know about:

Origin: The use of paracord was originally noted among US soldiers during World War II. It was used for tying of harnesses, securing of cargo, and other related things. When the war ended, civilians found out that it could also be used for home and recreational purposes.

Construction: The main design of a paracord includes a braided sheath with a core composed of woven strands of nylon. The kernmantle type of rope used for it generally has lightweight and elastic properties.

Types: There are many paracord types that are available for both military personnel and civilians. The kinds that are issued by the military come in six types. These range from Type I to IV. The paracord types are determined through specific criteria that include elongation, strength, length/pound, and construction of core and sheath. Civilians generally have access to a type called as 550 Cord. It was named as such due to its top tensile strength capability of 550 pounds.

Color Codes: There is military-spec color used in the making of paracord ropes. Colors that match those that are used in military uniforms and gear are also used on these ropes. The use of unusual colors like red and white could be observed when the ropes are to be used by the medical corps. Colors that go outside these classifications are understood to be for commercial use. Manufacturers usually issue certifications that indicate if the paracord rope meets military specifications.

Sources: These nylon paracord ropes could be bought from local sporting goods and specialty stores. This applies of course for civilian or commercial types. Military issued paracord ropes could be sourced out from surplus stores. There are online sellers that make military grade paracord ropes available. Care must be exercised when buying from online sources though as there are low quality paracord ropes that appeared in the market recently.

Practical Uses: Since these paracord ropes are unusually light and flexible, it can be used for almost any type of outdoor activity. Campers, extreme sports enthusiasts, and even ordinary homeowners have found this type of rope very useful for their purposes. Some people have even been seen recently using these for fashion purposes.

Paracord ropes are truly useful. The uses and practical applications are increasing as each day passes. When activities that put life and limb at risk are being planned, these paracord ropes could be included in the list of equipment to be used. Beginners would benefit from learning about paracord basics though.
