Parachute cord (also known as paracord or 550 cord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used t
o fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. These are sometimes tied in a fashion that can easily be unraveled for use in a survival situation. Some companies use paracord in conjunction with other survival components to create everyday wearable survival kits. Ends of the cord are almost always melted and crimped to prevent fraying. Hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts often use "survival bracelets" made of several feet of paracord, which is woven into a compact and wearable form. Such bracelets are meant to be unraveled when one needs rope for whatever purpose—securing cargo, lashing together poles, fixing broken straps or belts, shelter building, assisting with water rescues, controlling bleeding as a tourniquet, etc. The core (also known as the kern) consists of several yarns, the number is determined by the cord type, and each yarn is made up of two (commercial) or three (MIL-Spec) smaller nylon fibers twisted together. The core can be used for fishing line, thread, floss, sutures, snares, etc.
