TOUGH-GRID Paracord 750 Nylon Rope - Survival Tools Bushcraft, Tactical Gear, Climbing, Parachute Cord for Survival Gear Essentials Hiking Outdoor DIY Equipment Military Type IV Mil-Spec Made in USA

My initial review was left at the bottom if you would like to read that first. People keep getting confused at what they get depending on the feet. Please +1 my review so people can see this. 50 Feet, 100 Feet, 150 Feet - These will be coiled in a bag, it will not be tangled as long as you pull it out neatly. 200 Feet - This will be wound onto a TUBE. 500 Feet, 1000 Feet - These will be wound onto a spool I wanted to update my review so people really knew what they were buying. What you are buying is TRUE Military Grade Paracord. It has 11 internal strands, each strand being made up of 3 threads, as well as a tracer strand, made of three threads.Each thread, seems to be made of dozens of fibers! Mine seemed to possibly be slightly thicker than normal paracord, due to the extra strands, of course, that is good in most aspects, my other paracord may just be skinny, though I am unsure! The shipping speed was excellent and the packaging was great, since then I've tested it and used it on a swing-set where multiple people sat on top of each other (LOL) and it added up to around 680 pounds. I WOULD bet my life on this rope if I had to. Of course, there are many other preferred ropes for things like mountain climbing. Although if I had to go swinging off the side of a mountain like Tarzan, I am almost positive this rope would hold up, but I'm unsure that my bladder would! All of the negative reviews make it seem like there may be better options out there...THERE IS NOT. I'm not a arts and craft kind of guy, I recently used this paracord to see how it held up a tarp and then used a hose and threw some water on top that way I got to test a tarp and see how some cordage held up to being wet, and the weight of water. Today we're having some crazy rain with 30-40MPH winds, gusts of 65-70MPH. I don't expect to see a difference tomorrow, other than everything being soaked, and possibly frozen. Within the next couple of months I will hopefully be getting some land, and if I do, I'll throw up a lean-to shelter and post pictures of how it holds up. For the people wanting to use this for arts and crafts, I can't really say much about it, it's strength is great, and you should be able to fit it through any eyelet's. One thing I will say is that if you do allot of hiking, backpacking, or camping. This will be great for tarps, but I wouldn't recommend it for hammocks. Personally never used it on a hammock but it's gonna hurt the trees, just use the hammock straps, and get lighter ones if the included are too heavy. I've heard of people ending up on the floor due to the normal stretch of paracord, but I doubt that would happen, generally the straps that are included are best for use anyway. If anyone knows more about the subject, please inform me! If anyone has any questions, please ask, I'll let you know if I have any personal experience, of if its just research I've done, and then I'll respond to any questions! =) This is the best stuff on the market, imagine seeing almost 4000 reviews and all of them being 5-star reviews, would you not instantly buy it? I attached a picture showing the cord and its attributes. My original review is all the way at the bottom, I updated it after reading all the bad comments, and pretty much the rest of this review, is going over all of the comments people left, and why pretty much every single negative or neutral comment is inaccurate and should be taken down. What I really wanted to get across is all of the bad reviews. There are only currently five 1 Star reviews, them all being quite silly reviews. I went over 1 star, 2 star and 3-star reviews. If you want to view them, they are all below. Most of the reviews people did accidental negative reviews or were just ignorant in their purchase. In the 4 star reviews, people said how good it was, yet only put 4 stars. While I think 4 stars is good, truthfully it deserves 5, there is nothing better on the market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One Star Reviews: 1) If you look through them you, you will see the oldest review described the product as "As described" yet put a 1-star review. I assume this was a mistake. 2,3) The other 1 star reviews consist of two people who didn't know you have to burn the ends to keep them from fraying. 4) One person who thinks paracord is supposed to never tangle or knot up, they did not store it properly and it knotted up. 5) The last person liked the paracord but did NOT like how the seller was spamming them. The seller only sends out a couple emails, they are looking to give their buyers more than asked for, they are such great, sincere guys, as well as they have multiple links to stop the three emails that are sent out. The rest are sent by Amazon and have nothing to do with this seller. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Two Star Reviews: 1) 1st guy is angry that his 100 FEET of paracord is not wrapped around a spool. Perhaps if he took a closer inspection at, the pictures he would realize that the 100 feet do not come in a spool. 2) Next person says "If you use this stuff I tried it don't like it first the bag it came in it was all knotted up and this cord does not hold a not it makes lousy shoe laces don't try it" So his cord came knotted but somehow did NOT hold a knot for shoe laces...First off, that statement alone is contradicting itself, but besides that, I've never seen paracord used as shoelaces. Mine did NOT come knotted and I pulled it out neatly have it stored, it does NOT get knotted from my experience. 3) Another reviewer says it did not hold up in weather, but then did not explain to the seller how it did not hold up, whether it snapped, shredded, or anything else, they simply just said they tried to use it to secure a winter pool cover. What I think is that the cord got a little fuzzy due to the elements, but it can still hold up well! 4)The next reviewer claims that they could feel "hard spots" under the paracord where it was tied together, and they did not feel the same thing from some Walmart paracord they bought. They never checked if it was tied together, they just assumed. I took quite a large chunk from my 100 feet and ensured that nothing on the inside is tied together, I pulled out all of the internal strands, it is truly Military Grade paracord as I've previously stated, you won't find better quality. 5) The next review thought that para-cord was rope, big thick rope, which it is not. So the buyer was ignorant and then put a two-star review. 6) Another reviewer claimed their cord broke at a low weight, perhaps it did, that's one defect out of thousands, check your cords strength when you get it, and call the seller if it's defective. 7,8) There are two review's left, one claimed the color is not Coyote Brown. Perhaps he was accidently shipped the wrong color, or the Coyote Brown is not an accurate description, we will never know! What I do know, is that I don't care if the only color was a bright hot pink, I'd still use this cord, it's the best I've ever purchased and I will continue to buy it from them. The last review is complete bull sh*t. Pardon my language. They claim that the FREE offer you get, for two PDF files (readable files) and 25 FREE feet of paracord, is a virus. Yes, Bill and Adam, the sellers of this product, offer you three free items, you can accept or deny it. The last review claims that the link will give you a virus, while I cannot attest to what other links he clicked on, I can tell you the email I received was completely legit and contained no virus. Every link was HTTPS secured, and all of the certificates were in place, it is a completely trusted website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three Star Reviews - 1) First reviewer states "good" Not much detail and three stars is an "It's okay" rating, perhaps they should try and understand the rating system. 2) Another review says the cord broke, but never responded as to how. Useless review. 3) Next reviewer states the image pictured is not what is shipped. I don't know if they mean the color, spool differences, or if it's some big thick rope, but either way it's their fault for buying without reading. 4) Another reviewer complained that he ran out of cord.....How silly does that sound? He also complains about the spools. That is why you read closely. I'm still in shock how he put a 3-star rating because he bought a 1000 spool last time from a different provider which was cheaper, and this one, logically, ran out faster due to him downgrading to 100 feet. Of course, that provider did not make this Military Grade cord. 5) A reviewer didn't test the paracord but showed the inner strands, although still claims they wouldn't go to its max weight and doesn't explain why. Feel free to explain that to me, because I'm mind blown. 6) David Castleman says the product wasn't as pictured, surely it was, perhaps his wasn't, or once again he is one of the people who doesn't know how to read. 7) Scott accidently got a wrongfully colored paracord, although TOUGH-GRID made it right, and I guess he decided not to update the reviews...Hmm. Not very nice Scott! 8) Another reviewer complains about how he got emails about leaving a review, his paracord was good, but he decides to put a 3-star review. What I find great is, Tough-Grid responded, telling him that if he can find better paracord, they will refund his offer, what I love about that is that they know there paracord is the best stuff on the market, no one competes with it. 9) Next reviewer says paracord is fine and then complains about the emails. People need to stop reviewing the seller. Put your review down if the product is good or not, you can add information on the seller but don't change stars for it! 10) Another review says he prefers mule tape...Of course, that has no relevance as to how well this cord performs. Second page! Woohoo! 11) Says "Heavy Duty Utility Cord, what else to say" What else to say? How about perhaps why you put it as three stars! Yes, it's just rope, but imagine coming onto this page and seeing every single review being a 5-star review? Would that not sell you almost instantly? If there were almost 4000 reviews, all of them being 5-star reviews? 12) Matt says it's not good for hammocks. We knew this. Hammocks need a non-stretch rope, or you need to have a sort of break-in period, to get the stretch out of the rope, or just use something like a tautline hitch so you can continuously tighten, obviously if you sleep on it, you should expect yourself on the ground in the morning. The last Third-star review! 13) The mysterious Damon Hoffman! Damon Hoffman got the wrong order, due to a mess up at the Amazon warehouse. Tough-Grid wanted to send the right paracord for free but Mr. Damon did not request it, and Amazon would not give out his address to Tough-Grid, but Bill from Tough-Grid checked back every day for a year! You can see all the edits and posts he made, go take a look, it's quite amazing! It's under the 3-star reviews, sort by date and it is on the second page, at the bottom. It is the very first third-star review ever made, on Augst 8th, 2014. If you got all the way to the end, your crazy! Thanks for reading, hopefully this helped decide on your purchase and understand that all of these reviews are bull. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is my initial review: I've had dozens of different brands of paracord, cheaper, and more expensive then this paracord, and none of them are true military grade. This paracord, has 11 inner strands, and 1 "tracer" strand. Each strand being a tri-weave design, it truly is military grade, and the people that sell them, are absolute angels, they are great guys. I highly suggest you purchase this paracord, it's the best stuff out there, for an affordable price.

I find myself in the somewhat unusual situation of writing a review for a rope. Typically, ropes are pretty straightforward things that aren't terribly interesting. Paracord -- particularly TOUGH-GRID's 750lb paracord -- is a slightly different beast that deserves a review. Paracord, originally used (as the name suggests) for parachute cord, is a "kernmantle" rope, consisting of a core ("Kern" in German) and a sheath or jacket ("Mantel" in German). The former military standard that specified the construction of paracord defined different types of cord with different breaking strengths: from 95 pounds to 750 pounds. The most common variant, often known as "550 cord", has a breaking strength of 550 pounds. This product is the 750 pound variant of paracord. Although much stronger than 550 cord, it's about 1/32" thicker than 550 cord due to it having more internal yarns (11 vs 550 cord's 7 to 9). For my uses, the extra thickness is negligible. Each internal yarn is made from three fibers (each made from many individual nylon threads) twisted together. Both the core and sheath are made from nylon, in accordance with the military spec -- the rope is a bit more "slippery" feeling in the hand than the cheaper polyester-sheathed variants one can buy. When a flame is applied to the end to prevent fraying, both the core and the sheath melt together into one blob (a sign of all-nylon construction). I ordered 100 feet of the common olive drab rope sold as "Camo Green" which is a bit of a misnomer, as it's a solid green with no camouflage pattern. The color is exactly the same as the cord I was issued when I was in the US Army many years ago. It came loosely coiled in a plastic bag with a basic label (see photo). As a post-order free bonus (which did not affect the objectivity of my review), TOUGH-GRID also sent me a 25 foot length of their "Digi Camo" variant. The "Digi Camo" variant came in a much more colorful bag (as did the reflective variant, pictured with the "Camo Green"). Although the digital camo pattern is highly visible in the photo on the Amazon listing, in person it's a bit less distinct in person and, from a few feet away, the rope simply appears to be a slightly paler shade of green than the "Camo Green" variant. If you need a more distinct pattern, the "Forest Camo" looks to be a better choice. I tested this rope under infrared light (850nm, near-IR) and neither the "Camo Green" or "Digi Camo" variants are particularly reflective to IR light, at least no more so than other typical textiles, wood, or other objects. In the IR photo (which is from the baby camera over the beds of my 2 month old and 2.5 year old kids, respectively, and which uses an IR light for nighttime illumination), the TOUGH-GRID 700 pound reflective rope (reviewed separately) is clearly visible on the crib in the middle-right of the photo. Below the reflective rope is the "Camo Green" rope, with the "Digi Camo" rope at the bottom. One important caveat: the breaking strength (750 pounds) of the rope is for static loads, such as a bear bag hanging from a tree. Dyanmic loads (such as having a fall arrested by the rope) impose much more force on the rope and can easily exceed the breaking strength. As a safety margin, one shouldn't subject a rope to hold more than 10-15% (~75-110 pounds) of it's breaking strength when dynamic loading is an issue. Put simply, this is fantastic, strong rope for holding down tarps, lifting bags and equipment, securing objects on a ship or vehicle, making "dummy cords" to prevent the loss of dropped objects, etc. It is explicitly NOT a climbing rope and should never be used for such purposes: although there are stories of people successfully using paracord for descending from heights in an emergency when no other option is available, this is a bad idea in general and very dangerous. All in all, I'm extremely satisfied with this rope. It's well-made, meets the advertised specifications, and is available in a wide range of colors and patterns.
