Paracord. What do YOU use it for?

[bwframe]

Parachutes?

 

[deadsquirrel]

someone needs to make a shirt out of it

 

[vitamink]

I use it for shoelaces, handle grips, AK stock wrap, zipper grips, and almost anything requiring rope.

 

[Stschil]

Yes, as everyone has said, there are more uses for it than there aren't.

I used to have a 12" braid with a small carbiner attached to one end and my keychain to the other. It made for a great extra loop restraint when we had to respond to bar/barracks fights and ran out of handirons. Run the carbiner through the key ring, and pull.

I use it to bulk up the drag handles on my backpacks.

I pose a counter question:

What don't you use it for?

whatever i can fix with duct tape...

 

[cosermann]

Paracord = the duct tape of cordage.

 

[worksalot]

I have used it drag hogs out of the woods..dead of course.

Rappelling on an ATC. The line will hold but you have no ability to stop, or so a rock climber found out. He won't ever make that mistake again, or any others.

I'd be a lot more impressed if they were alive when you were dragging them out...

 

[fergie22]

it`s like duct tape it`s good for all kind of things just don`t confuse it with prima cord could get messy lol

 

[Wabatuckian]

Boot laces.

Ditto, A hundred ft of para cord and a roll of duct tape should be in every man's truck, as necessary as a flashlight and a knife!

And don't forget your chloriform, fake cast, and easy chair!

Dental floss.

I'm glad to someone else uses it like I do , cleaning around that one tooth is a pain

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Rope dart. No, really. Take an 8 inch throwing knife with a hole in the back and tie off 15' of paracord. awesome.

 

[awittmer]

had a buddy made a handle for a knife that has 10 feet total of paracord in it, but it a big enough loop to put my hand through. have a knife with the handle made of it, its really cheap off ebay, thats where i get all mine

When you purchase, make sure you're getting the real deal. I've had good luck with these folks. I'm sure you can find it cheaper, but I am confident in the authenticity of their product.

We use it in our supply cage to lash material up high to the rafters. Keeps the cage clean and organized! I dont go anywhere without 50ft or so in my car or Bugout bag. Came in REAL handy in Iraq.

 

[Sylvain]

I dont use it but my girlfriend used it to tie a couch into a pickup truck!
I ordered some online, she got the package in the mail and opened it ... found "some kind of rope who would be handy to secure the couch into the truck" and just used MY paracord without even asking me.
Haha I was proud, she was a girlscout.

You can use it for anything when your girlfriend doesnt get a hold of it before you can use it.
