parachute cord
Strong lightweight cordage
Parachute cord is lightweight nylon rope originally used in parachute suspension lines, now widely adopted for general utility.
Often shortened to paracord.
The standard military version consists of a woven outer sheath around seven inner strands, each strand itself made of smaller fibers.
Its strength-to-weight ratio makes it popular for survival kits, camping, and crafts: She made a bracelet out of parachute cord.
