A life-changing resource, the paracord (or the 550 cord because of its 550-pound breaking test) was originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during the Second World War as well as by astronauts on space missions. Sometimes you want something a bit more robust than standard 550 pound paracord. Paracord Planet provides it with their outstanding 750 lb Mil-Spec Paracord. This tough, durable cord features 11 strands of 3 yarns each and has a minimum failure rating of 750 pounds. Paracord on the other hand, is made by weaving together a number of smaller strands and then wrapping them in a sheath, much like climbing rope. Typically there are 7 – 11 of these strands, and each strand is comprised of 2 or 3 smaller strands called ‘yarns’. So you will have anywhere from 14 to 33 yarns inside a typical length of 550 paracord.The first parachute jumps were made more than two centuries ago ( 1) but it was not until the Second World War that parachuting really came of age.

But some manufacturers have found a way to go the extra mile and squeeze even more utility from it. Such is the case with this 620 lb Survivor Cord from Titan Paracord. It includes a proprietary jute fiber strand that can be turned into a highly effective firestarter material.
