750 paracord is a rot-resistant, quick-drying nylon rope with a break strength of 750 pounds. It comes in a wide variety of colors and should be one of the first things you get for your personal survival toolkit. Paracord can be used in various applications and has even been adopted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (more commonly known as NASA)! It was first developed as a parachute cord (which explains the name) by the U.S. military during World War II. The U.S. Army purchases their cord from American manufacturers like Tough Grid and still uses it extensively in a variety of situations today.

As a matter of fact, it is considered that a U.S. soldier who does not have a supply of 750 paracord is effectively unequipped! Similarly, anyone who likes to engage in any form of outdoor activity would be wise to keep some paracord on hand at all times, as it is as useful as it is versatile in many emergencies.

Some examples of emergency scenarios where 750 paracord could be useful include:

• If you break your leg, you can use a paracord to tie a splint to it.
• If you run out of dental floss, the inner strands of a paracord can be taken apart and used as an alternative — quite handy when trying to get rid of a stubborn piece of meat.
• If you cut yourself, you can use paracord as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding and, if necessary, to stitch up an open cut.
• You can also use a paracord thread to patch clothing, replace shoelaces and zipper pulls.
• If your clothes get wet, you can use a paracord as a clothesline to dry them.
• If your dog chews on his leash or his collar, paracord can be used as a replacement.
• You can secure your boat with a paracord.
• Paracord can also be used as a belt to keep your pants in place.

As you can see, 750 paracord has a plethora of uses — in fact, the potential of applications for this versatile cord is only bound by your imagination!

You can now get paracord bracelets, necklaces, key chains, watches, and other accessories. For obvious reasons, these have proven to be quite popular with emergency responders and other safety personnel. They are also gaining traction among the general population, who may or may not be aware of their remarkable versatility.

If you see someone wearing a paracord bracelet or other paracord accessory, do not assume they know the benefits of having some paracord in person at all times. Instead, ask them if they are familiar with its applications. If they don’t, they might be surprised to learn that a paracord bracelet can be unraveled and used in the event of an emergency.

When you decide to add a 750 paracord to your survival kit, why not get a paracord survival bracelet or another accessory as a gift for someone you care about? They may not be an outdoor buff such as yourself, but that small piece of cord could one day save their life.
