which paracord should I buy? (see photo) what paracord do you use?

>>1007814
Just buy whatever paracord has 7 or more inner strands that are interwoven and not just present

>>1007814
The gay one.

>>1007814
>which paracord should I buy? (see photo
Whatever's cheapest
>what paracord do you use?
I don't. It's shitty meme cordage for rednecks.

>>1007814
Don't buy paracord.

Don't buy paracord, it's literally only good for making parachutes.

>>1008112
>it's literally only good for making parachutes.
mkay. paracord ranks amongst the Top 3 in popular outdoor items you can find.

>>1007875
>>1008090
>>1008112
It's useful as fuck these people have never left their basement

>>1008163
And the top 2 items are Biolite stoves and sleeping bags with arms.

Paracord is popular because it's relatively cheap and easy to come by. It's not popular because it's good.

>>1008214
It can be used for literally everything outside of rockclimbing

Thats the only thing it cant be used for

Rock climbing ropes are huge as fuck anyways

>>1007814

>buy

Whatever

>use

Whatever

I mostly use it for tying down shit and making lanyards for knives, machetes and hatchets.

>>1007814
>>1007816
this. Also when you get it, make sure to stretch it out. take it outside and hand weights on it and tighten every few hours/every day. Really annoying when you hang a tarp and it starts slapping your face in the middle of the night.

You fucking moron.


Outside of rock climbing nearly no activity will be above the weight limit of even just one of the internal strands.

>>1008335
Outside of SHIT your bulky ass parameme crap can't do anything dynema cord can.

Keep shilling faggot, the '70's want their parameme cord back, shillly shill, shillster.

Liar.

Your cord can't rockclimb either, btw

It's unfortunate that you revert to such lows when it's so clear that you've lost.

I feel bad for your mother, if you even have one.

>>1008356
Lost nothing.

You carry bulky fake ass parameme you have no use for.

How do I lose from your meme decision?

>>1008360
Because

4000 feet of cordage fits in my front pocket :^)

You could at most fit 500 feet of your 1.18mm in my front pocket.

I'm wearing blue jeans at this moment.

That's an 800% difference.

I would reconsider what you think "bulky" means, bud.

You can't just say "bulky" 1000 times and make it true.

You objectively have 8 times less cordage than me in the same cubic inches.

Keep on ignoring common sense, you butthurt little man.

>>1008370
Keep ignoring your bulky ass China counterfeit memtastic shit cordage you never use when you never go /out/, bitch.

>when was the last time ANYBODY broke down parameme to get to the seven golden strands of Cibola?

Never, unless Fake Dave doing meme ass YouTube shilling.

>>1008371
There are so many incorrect statements in there.

1) As PROVEN earlier, it is the actual polar opposite of bulky and you cannot refute this
2) >buying from china
3) I dare you to take one inner strand and break it with tension, go ahead and try.
4) >he thinks that I don't use my cordage just because he doesn't

You've overdosed on bushcrafting youtubers. I prescribe actually visiting the woods periodically to slowly kill the cancer eating your brain.

>>1008375
Wow so you mean it's so useful that you rarely have to utilize it's full potential?

Holy crap!

For all retards claiming paracord is useless.

>>1008520
That isnt what whiteknighting is, bud.

>>1008220
Yes it can be used for lots of stuff.

Cheaper, stronger, and lighter cord can be used for that as well.

Dumbass.

Can't effectively hang a hammock with paracord, and is too stretchy to rig my tarp. As soon as it rains the cord gets wet and stretches way way out so my tarp loosens up.

It's just too stretchy and absorbs too much water for what I need.

Before anyone says you can hang a hammock with it... yes, you CAN, but you can also use a pinecone to wipe your ass. Doesn't mean it's going to be pretty.

>>1008858
>1 strand is good for nearly every job
>if not, wrap a 2nd strand
>continue to wrap strands until meets your expectations


No other cordage has the capability of being 8 different sizes. Each size smaller you gain length.

>>1008863
Maybe you just don't know how to hang a hammock.

I know, hard to imagine, right?

do anyone use paracord as shoelaces?

>how hard is it to unknot wet paracords kek

>>1008949
I do - you have to double-knot them in order to keep them from untieing themselves but it works.

Paracord is good for parachuting.
Use tarred bank line for everything else.

I didn't say to follow Dave in every way (I'm not into hero worship or dogma), but he's right about bank line v. Paracord.

Not everything is black and white.

i got this roll of twine been in the house forever. i don't wanna spring for cord. hehe

>>1008863
>you can also use a pinecone to wipe your ass. Doesn't mean it's going to be pretty.
terrible analogy. pinecones are great for wiping your ass, IF you know what you're doing.

>>1009123
is this a little nicky reference

>>1009132
not intentionally. i really do like to use pinecones as tp innawoods. you just need to find half a dozen squirrel-chewed ones, and wipe the right direction. i much prefer them over sticks (smoother, but less effective), snow (stings the o-ring), or grass (soft, but doesn't get the job done).

>>1009098
Paracord still has nore options.

You're right that when you need a more firm rope, bank line will work better. There aren't many cases of that outside of making emergency traps.

The assbandit in this thread was trying to say paracord was totally useless, which simply showed his lack of knowledge.

>>1009109
Do you know this from experience?

>>1009157
Fair enough.

Though, to me the internal paracord strands aren't as easy to work with either when compared to the broken down bank line. I like the higher friction/grip. Probably just me though.

Agree about the assbandit;
plenty of uses for paracord, especially if that's what you got.
