| May 23, 2012 at 18:24 | comment | added | Russell Steen | @KateGregory -- I do ultralight hiking and the weight to usefulness ratio of paracord is much better. Cheap twisted poly from the hardware store with a similar load limit weighs a lot more. | |
| May 23, 2012 at 16:39 | comment | added | berry120 | @KateGregory That's a whole other question, but the advantage with real paracord is strength and versatility - it's strong enough to use to repair shoelaces and tent lines for instance as well as those uses, if you need smaller thread you can use the inner cores you strip from it, etc. | |

| May 22, 2012 at 23:57 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | Serious question: why not buy fairly random yellow twisted poly stuff from the hardware store for bear bags and tarp lines? What advantage is the paracord bringing? The cheap stuff floats, is easy to see in trees, and easy to get. I would love to know what I'm missing. | |
