paracord

Braided nylon line

Paracord is a lightweight nylon rope originally used in parachute suspension lines.

Its strength-to-weight ratio and durability have made it popular for outdoor and survival applications: She braided paracord into a sturdy bracelet.

The inner strands can be pulled out for fishing line, thread, or other uses when needed.
