yeah, i know it took a while, but since i can't find any ammo to shoot i figure making para cord objects would be something to occupy the time.... lol

Alert, alert, don't buy it, it is junk, it's not true paracord and the inside doesn't have seven strands. JUNK JUNK JUNK

Do you have a place that won't jack you on cost or shipping and handling?

There are multiple types of true paracord; The chart below will give you an idea of what you get from each type. The cord you found at your local Home Depot, may not be the type III cord (at least 7 two ply yarns) but it may suit your purpose. Many times the type III (attached image) cord may be more strength then you need, and you can get buy purchasing type II. Type I and IA is used simply for tie down, but cannot hold weight. Need a bore snake for your AR/M4, take your type II or III paracord, remove the guts, tie a knot in the center, and bingo, cleans your rifled barrel to a sparkling clean! I have paracord by 50,100,1000 feet, you can send me a message on the forum, at my email [email protected] or check my website at www.t2tacticalsolutions.com

made me a edc (every day carry) pouch. i put it on the back of belt and wear it every where and i enjoy it. only thing i would have done different is either a detachable belt clip or made it on a snap ring.
