You need a 1000' paracord spool.

So who has 1000' or 300yd spools of paracord(not 550 ) at the best price?

Paracord = 550. Two names, same thing.

The rated strength is 550 lbs. That's why it gets called 550.

Thanks for the link retarmysgt., that was just what I was looking for. I always thought 550 was different. I remember seeing different load ratings for the two.

I might have it backwards, but paracord was the term that came from the Army (since they were more likely to find it attached to parachutes) and 550 from the Marines (since it's 550 lb test).

There are 2 type but they both use the same name, you have a 5 strand and a 7 strand but both have the same 550lb rating.

I was a bit turned off that shipping was $5.50 for 100 feet of 550 (haha, irony). I thought maybe it was like Cheaper than dirt and if I added more it wouldn't affect the shipping cost until a certain weight had been reach, but no such luck. Adding a second set of 100 feet made shipping $11. That's just downright insulting for that length. It's maybe 6 ounces total for each 100 foot? If that.

Anyway, you can find that stuff on Amazon and other places you could bundle it together with shipping.

550 has tons of uses... Always keep some in my ruck, assault pack, truck, bob...

I go through a thousand feet of that stuff each year. Always have some in the car, on my person, at work, and a bunch at home. I have used it for everything from a keychain, to towing a truck. No lie.

psa on paracord....(I have over 6,000 feet in my home, at any given time.) Supply captain on line is the best, I've found. $7 for 100'
You must be weary of on line paracord stores, they are very bad about taking your $ and not giving you your product. I've dealt with sc for well over a year, and their customer service can't be beat!
Also you can be sure to find a color the wife will love & get your od green for yourself! Good luck, and happy knotting!

I've lived a pretty sheltered life and didn't know bondage was so replete.

Seems like it could be very handy for many things. I don't make, wear, or sell jewelry but I do wear shoes with laces so I'll probably buy some to see what else I can do with it.

Lol! my hubby is always stealing paracord from my "stash"!
