paracords
Braided nylon line
Paracords are lightweight nylon ropes originally used in parachute suspension lines.
The cord consists of a woven outer sheath around multiple inner strands, giving it strength and versatility.
Survivalists and outdoor enthusiasts prize paracord for countless uses—lashing gear, building shelters, fashioning tourniquets: I always keep paracord in my pack.
It's also woven into bracelets that can be unraveled in emergencies.
