Any of you know where the best prices on paracord are? We use this stuff for everything, especially with camping coming up. Interested in several thousand feet. Thanks for any info you come up with.

Re: Best place to buy bulk paracord

That's a nice price, but this worries me:

"Our cord is modeled after US military issue 7 strand Kernmantle style 550 cord"

I may have to call them and ask them if it's US made and what the load rating is.

Obviously if you are just tying dummy cords and whatnot, then it doesn't matter. But when I am buying a 1K' spool I have no idea what I will be doing with it later. Lots of it I just bundle and throw in the bottom of my ruck for backwoods use.

Please post the results of your call.

I know this guy because he donated the 550 cord that AmericanSnipers.org used on the skull coins at SHOT. By the end of the show, I think he had given us three rolls.
