What Is Paracord

By Jeremy Silver

Paracord also called 550 cord is a nylon kermantle rope originally used as suspension lines of US parachutes. Once in the field, US Soldiers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians who recognise the unique construction of the paracord.

The outer sheath construction is tightly interwoven allowing it to appear smooth in texture and comfortable to wear against the body. This unique attribute has been influential in the widespread acceptance of paracord for mainstream use, where it has been fashioned for accessory making in bracelets, bottle holders and knife sleeves. This has led to the manufacturing of paracord as a general purpose utility cord for both military and civilian purposes.

Within bush craft and survival communities paracord has reached an almost iconic status where it is considered that its uses are only limited by a person's imagination to use it. Take the second Space Shuttle mission in February 1997 for example... A bright and resourceful astronaut decided the best way to repair the Hubble Space Telescope was with the outer sheath of a length of paracord.

Despite the historic association of paracord with Airborne units, virtually all US units have access to the cord. It is used in almost any situation where a light cord is needed. Typical uses include attaching equipment to harnesses, as lanyard cords to avoid losing small or important items, tying rucksacks to vehicle racks, securing camouflage nets to trees or vehicles, and so forth. When threaded with beads, paracord may be used as a pace counter to estimate ground covered by foot. Melt the ends of paracord with a heated knife or naked flame and they can be joined together.

Six styles of paracord are commonly supplied all conforming to the Military standard of MIL-C-5040H. These are listed as Type 1, Type 1A, Type 2, Type 2A Type 3 and Type 4. The most widely used paracord in circulation today is Type 3 paracord due to its versatility. Type 3 paracord will have a minimum breaking strength of 550 pounds. This breaking strength led to the abreviated name which oftern paracord is referred to. 550 Cord. Paracord / 550 cord can be manufactured to any diameter as there are no specific requirements within MIL-C-5040H. - 32375

Like any product there are many interpretations of design and quality of the product.

Essential Tips for Buying a Rucksack

By Suzanne Noctor

If you are someone who likes to go hiking or walking them you need to make sure that you have the right equipment for your tips. As well as a good pair of boots you are also going to need a good quality rucksack which provisions and other equipment for staying out overnight or away for several days. However when it comes to choosing which rucksacks are going to be right for you may prove difficult as there are so many different ones to select from.

Below we offer some pointers which should be kept in mind when you are going to spend money buying yourself a rucksack.

1. The first thing you need to do is sit down and work out what it is you intend to be putting in your rucksack. Once you know this then you can decide on the size you need to purchase. Although you may think buying a larger size one than you need is a good idea it can lead to problems. Often if people buy big rucksacks they will put additional items in theirs that they don't actually need causing the weight to be carried much greater. Just the same if you think by going for a smaller size one is going to be more cost effective think again. With the smaller ones you will find that you have to secure items you need to the outside which puts it out of balance and so again it will be far more difficult to carry.

2. You now need to look at how well the rucksack fits on your back and so don't be afraid to go to a store that specializing in such equipment in order that you can try several types out. It is a good idea to actually get the store to put around about the same amount of weight that you will be expecting to carry in yours when out hiking or camping.

3. As you try out different rucksacks in the store make sure that the straps fit well and give sufficient amounts of support to your body as they help evenly balance out the weight inside. It is a good idea when wearing the rucksack that you lean backwards and forwards and sway from side to side. Doing this you can quickly see whether this is not only causing it to move but causing the weight inside to also shift and causing it to become unbalanced.

Another thing that you should do is to walk around the store several times and if they have some stairs go up and down these to again make sure that the weight inside remains distributed evenly. Also you can quickly identify any problems which only slight at the moment could become major ones when you have been carrying yours for some time.

4. It is important that the straps on your rucksack are firm but come with lots of padding as this will help to ensure that when being carried it remains in the centre of your back at all times. Also the straps should be ones that fit snuggly but won't prevent you from moving your arms or upper body easily.

5. When considering buying any of the rucksacks now available make sure that yours has a good hip belt fitted to it. This is crucial as this is what will be bearing most of the weight carried inside yours. By having a good fitting hip belt will also mean that when carrying yours it feels comfortable and helps to reduce the amount of strain being placed on your back. - 32375
