Buen paracord, fácil para trabajar y se deshilacha poco antes de sellar la punta.La tirada de 30m debería ir con tambor de bobina en vez de bolsa cutre

Like all paracord from Paracord Planet, this is the best you can get. The colors are as expected. I haven’t ever tried any serious loads with any paracord, so I can’t vouch for strength, but you’re probably getting this for decorative or creative uses anyway, and for that, it’s great.

I recently made some self watering planters from wine bottles I cut in half vertically (see photo). The cotton rope I used to serve as wicks, bringing water from the bottom reservoir to the plant and soil (capillary action), started to rot and smell. I read that paracord makes for good wicks and don’t rot like cotton. after asking whether other customers here have used this paracord for hydroponics and getting no response, I bit the bullet and just decided to try it.The paracord arrived wrapped in a plastic bag. I measured and cut 18in strips, folding and tying 2 strips together before threading them through screen mesh (the same material for window screens) to hold the soil up. So far, the paracord is doing its job and my plants are thriving without me actively watering them everyday.I also tested the capillary capabilities of the paracord by putting one end in a glass of water and the other in an empty glass. As you can see in the photos, the water is transported to the empty glass.

I got two different colors that I thought would be really visibles (when is getting dark and in the forest or the dessert...). I’m happy with what I got ... I’m posting some pictures in case it help somebody trying to decide colors.I place my hand on the picture so you can see more or less the size of what you receive.

I love the variety of patterns and vivid colors available.Good paracord. Seems to be of similar strength and flexibility to other paracords. Tied well. Knots stayed tied until I wanted them untied.I almost always burn the ends when I cut any paracord. Old habit that has worked well for years. If cutting many pieces then it's worth the time to heat up a soldering iron so that cut-and-seal is one operation. Recommended practice either way but do as you think best.

I purchased the blaze orange paracord and am giving it 5 stars because of its flexibility and texture. I've used paracord that was so stiff or so slick that it didn't work well for common outdoor tasks like wrapping a hatchet handle or building a shelter. That is not the case with this paracord. This paracord looks good, but most importantly, it's very functional. I can easily do wraps, braids, lashings, knots or anything else that I might need to do with cordage. I am very happy with my purchase and can readily recommend this brand of paracord to others.

Great stuff! I use it for everything, and I mean everything! Tying down loads to artwork. I've reworked the handles on several hand tools with this cord. Bracelets that copy the ones that survivalist use; your out camping, need a tent line? Just unravel your bracelet! And, is it tough? Example: we have a small dog run behind the house, our little dog can run the whole length of the house without getting tangled...it's been out in the KENTUCKY weather for THREE years, and it's still tough as nails! I've tried to break it from time to time to make sure that the pooch isn't about to snap it and run away. I have strained and pulled...it didn't even stretch!! Except for a VERY slight fading in color, it's still strong. I always keep a few hundred foot "Hanks" lying around at all times. As cheap as it is, everyone should have some on hand. And that's a fact! NOTE: animal lovers please read the comment.
