A 550 paracord video that is 5:50.... Brilliant!
The only part of this I don't like is the wire. Do this for me Sootch. Take that line, and tie lots of knots in it. Truckers hitch, bowline, larks head, clove hitch, cobra knots, and so on. Then tell me that wire does not become work hardened inside that sheath and break. I envision that wire breaking then poking out of the sheath in a sharp little barb that tears up light plastic or cuts you while your handling the line. The rest of it is a good idea. You can make lamp wicks from the jute, fish and snare with the mono line, and so on. The wire outside of being able to carry a current is a bit redundant to me and as I said above a possible hazard.
they also have one that has 12 stands of nylon, a Kevlar stand and no wire its called surivorcord XT
The monofilament fishing line would also present a problem, no? That stuff retains memory, so any knots and kinks that you put into it makes it harder to use as regular fishing line. If it was the braided stuff, it might make more sense, but then the fish would see it easier.
Red strand meant for trail marking.
My father was a Paratrooper in the Army. He was in the 82nd Airborne division and he told me Paracod is a must have Survival tool. Also your field knife too. Another great survival video Sootch00 an long live the republic my friend.
I haven’t tried the paracord with fancy strands, but the regular kind from Titan Survival is excellent, it’s amazing the strength those little things have. Used them to build all kinds of makeshift structures
Consistently top tier content
Thank you sir...
That is some great paracord. I have it actually and keep it with my survival kit in my Jeep.
Great idea for one stop multi filament practicality. Haven't heard of Erma Bombeck in 40 years. My wife used to read me her disaster anecdotes which were full of self irony and human warmth.
I saw an ad for this on Facebook and thought it was a pretty cool idea. Just didn't know if it was a gimmick or not. Thanks for the video!
As an FYI, Your normal paracord is from Atwood Rope located a block from where we used to make spikes. They also have a rope similar to that called Parapocalypse cord. Also, the owners son is one of the largest You Tubers out there and is good friends with Demo Ranch. Their whole family is pro 2A.
If milspec impresses you, you've never been in the military! 😂
Ave u fkin Rambo ?
I’m with you on that! And if you’ve worked on airplanes, “aerospace grade aluminum” is another shitty marketing ploy.
I have some of this. It's awesome! Super strong.
Never leave home without Paracord, in my big rig truck, get home bag, camper etc and yes long live the republic🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲Peace ✌✌✌
great info, thanks
Great video thanks for sharing . Its channels like this one that inspired me to set up my own channel . Thanks again and all the best
Good review very useful para cord.
A bit cheaper on Amazon, where I got mine, about $28 a 103ft hank. The cool thing is if you are careful you can take the extra stuff out of the cord, reseal the cord ends and use it as plain cordage still. Regardless, worth the extra weight and cost for the extra features IMO for sure!
I never leave home without a good hank of 550 paracord. Lately I found that Atwood micro cord does a lot of things around camp for cheaper and less weight.
Got a spool really cheap at a yard sale. Neat stuff.
I carry a 500 meter spool of "Paracord" which is actually almost twice as strong as Mil. Spec. Paracord. I always carry it in my "Survival Pack" that is in my pickup truck. My "Survival Pack" is very complete including a very small, very powerful take down bow with 2 dozen arrows and two blade single bevel broadheads. Snare wire too. Two waterproof tarps and a wool blanket sleep system good for subzero weather. I live in the mountain of the northeast. Oh yeah fishing equipment too. My "paracord" doesn't have waxed jute in it but my fire making kit has everything necessary to make fire even in a rainstorm.
I like the Atwood Rope USA made and their parapocalypse cord is awesome. I like the Titan survivalcord and survivalcord XT Once they find a way to make it in USA again I'd like to buy a lot more of it.
that is some good paracord to use. good job sootch!!!!!!!!!!!!
As cordage its great. As a firestarter it works... As a fishing kit, unless you're going for Gar or Pike, it sucks (and leave it in tact except for your leader). The monofilament 25lb line make catching what should be easy fish (bluegills & perch) a very real challenge. The metal wire can have its uses.
So, you need 50' feet of mono fishing line ...how the hell do you get it out in one piece ?..and is the rest of it any use afterwards ?
I bought 500 feet in a roll I've used it and it's very good. That's all I buy now good stuff
Looks like good stuff, I’ll check them out!
Seems cool but for 30 bucks id probably just grab a cheap spool of fishing line and some wire and fire starting string
How long of piece of the monofilament or the wire can you pull out of the outer sheath at one time?
Here in Australia that cord is $79.95 for 30 meters
love the video and did you use to have a woodworking channell
Want to get some of this to make shoe laces for all our boots
Dang, jute rope within the paracord? That’s impressive.
Apart from the thickness of the fishing line I'm super impressed with this paracord.
A 6 lb or 8 lb test strength to the fishing line would be much more suitable for most survival situations as I'm sure the majority of fish caught won't be monster size.
25 lb line is fine for open water sea fishing but for freshwater situations a lighter line is essential for catching small fish (unless you're lucky enough to be catching Pacific salmon during breeding season).
Nevertheless a heavy line doesn't have to be used for fishing and 25 lb is good for trapping purposes so it's all good since a properly put together bug out kit would have a comprehensive fishing kit in it anyway.
Good stuff and thanks for the demonstration.
Need that heavy test line to "hook" all those AR fishes that went overboard..LOL
@@johndeeter4030 Could be useful for catching Pokemon too, lol
Unless you are in some northern Canada lakes where large Pike or lake trout are principal fish. In a survival situation u may not have access to leaders. Heavy line for Pike is best
@@TC72280808 Yes, that' definitely a situation where heavy line is needed. Where I am I'd be fishing mostly for trout up to 2 lbs with most being in the 0.5 lb - 1 lb range so a lighter line would work much better - I guess it's just a case of tailoring the kit to the environment it will be deployed in.
In a similar way my go-to survival rifle is my Ruger 10/22 takedown as I would be mostly hunting rabbits, pheasants and pigeons but if I was in Northern Canada that wouldn't bring down larger deer species, elk, moose or a bear. I'd probably go with a 30-06 or a .243 in that region as the game would be much bigger.
5:50min video on 550 paracord 🤔
That is one strong stick
I thought you made this video 3 years ago? Still a great video just trips me out.
I got a couple big fat hanks of this stuff when you first put this review out on Patreon :) One of them I've taken apart and played with. My Eight year-old boy was VERY impressed when I showed him all of the features. Thanks for making me look good, haha.
I did buy a hank of the Titan 550 cord thinking it was an essential innovation. However I do have some issues with it. When I made cuts I would burn the ends and a tiny piece of wire would stick out from the end. The wire don't burn and it will stick you. Secondly I noticed that when tying knots it was hard to tighten up the knot and was prone to slip . The cord is much stiffer than regular cord and doesn't form well. If you were putting a lot of force on the knot it may tie better. I just don't care for it..
Thanks for the added review.
Can anyone recommend a good survival blanket and poncho?
Couldn't you use the copper wire to fix electrical issues? Copper is conductive yes?
What is the candy stripe strand meaning?Thanks
Paracord, it's like duct tape that comes off easier.
Great video! Why not an affiliate link? You sold me lol! Thx!
More Paracord! My husband says I don't have enough.
Where's the link to this stuff?
Great informative video, thanks. Love the bloopers, it shows you're human too. God bless
michael wier God's just an imaginary friend, like Harvey.
I've had this in my pack for a couple years, get it on Amazon, cheaper
What's the red thread for?
Is it worth 3 to 4 times the cost of a military grade 550 paracord? I don't think so...
I'd rather just carry some fishing line and a bit of kindling than have to be chopping up my rope
Ok so that explains it..this must have been the first video I saw on paracor and was thinking ALL paracord had all these elements and thought I bought fake paracord when I cut it opem and it didnt😳
Wait a minute where did they put the 50 feet beef jerky...
HOW MANY POUNDS CAN IT HANDLE?
Can this be used as a shoelace
Maybe it’s my end but the audio seems to cut out some. Probably nothing
I have asked the following question of every video I have ever seen on this and others of similar type, without comment. Can you show your viewers how to remove twenty feet of fishing line, or six feet of wire.
Where do I get this I'm from Saudi Arabia
Survival cord is the best paracord I've ever used.
@@papimaximus95 I never said I've used it for survival. Despite the name it is the highest quality paracord I've used whether it be for a knife lanyard or a ridgeline for a tarp. I have no opinion about it's use as far as survival goes and never claimed to. Also I'm glad that girl survived. Her will to live must be strong.
While I like the idea of multifunctional gear I personally don't think that carrying this type of paracord is beneficial over carrying regular paracord. I much rather carry separate tinder, fishing line & paracord so I can use what I need when I need it without getting stuck with the rest of the cord that is now (temporarily) useless.
Have you or would you actually buy it?
Is this Danos seasoning
Its a shame they are soldout, they bust have been sold out for awhile? is it a limited edition thing? I can't find it anywhere i even checked their website and they are sold out on everything, what the heck. I wish i heard of them sooner.
I like Parapocalypse ultimate survival cord way better personally. You should check it out. Love to see your thoughts on it.
Have you tested both the Titan and the Parapocalypse from Atwood? I'm thinking of getting the Parapocalypse too, seems like it won't be as stiff as the Titan. Have you tried Atwood Micro Kevlar, I'm also in delima, wich thickness Kevlar to order, 0.75 or 1.18mm ?? The thinner might work great for stitching shoulderstratps etc but I don't know if it that or thr thicker, are good for sawing stuff to cut them?!!
@@greekveteran2715 yes, I much prefer the Parapocalypse. The micro and nano cordage are both great! The kevlar holds up to heat pretty decent. I like it better than the 30g wire!
Titansurvival.com and you would of gotten it cheaper then eBay lol
I personally don't understand this product at all. You need to damage your cord to access things inside. You could just get those things separately for way easier access, I mean fishing line, wire etc are all extremely thin anyway and take almost no space. There are so many places where you can wrap and place those things inside the cord.
I wish people would test the strength of the password it's self a lot of brand claim mil spec but don't make the 550lbs
Seems nice but feels like it’s a better idea to have your fishing line and wire separate from the cord to begin with so you don’t have to mess with the paracord to get to those items. It’s solving a problem that doesn’t exist imo.
I agree fully. It also creates a new problem. What to do with the parts of the cord that you're not using. As in: take out the fishing line, get stuck with the rest.
Did any one see the length on the video 5:50 the paracord is 550
Quero ser sua representante com estes produtos aqui no brasil tenho um otimo espaço no centro de Brasília DF
Nice video. How is youtube treating you? I have seen that they are pushing their feelings and opinions on some channels. Hope they keep their opinions to themselves. Keep up the good work.
I DO WHAT I CAN TO PREPARE BUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROTECT OUR SELFS FROM EVER CHANGING LAWS MADE TO CONTROL AND POLICE US LIKE NEVER BEFORE? OFF GRID AND STILL HAVE A PHONE OR LAPTOP THEN NOT REALLY OFF ! WHOS THE REAL ENEMY SOME PEOPLE SOME PLACE ELSE OR ROME ALL OVER AGAIN. ? NOT YELLING OLD EYES:)
Sootch, i love you but if you think military spec means anything, i can tell you haven't served hahaha.
The "Military Spec" label doesn't mean much considering 99% of the equipment you're given in the military is cheap junk and the military has absolutely horrific saftey standards as opposed to a civilian regulators like OSHA. It's kind of like knife companies bragging about their knives being made of "Surgical Steel" which sounds cool until you know that surgical steel is one of the lowest quality steels that you can get as it is only designed to be used once and then to be thrown away after surgery. I would do some more digging and find out what being certified "Military Spec" really means.
Now I know this is a repeat video. Why the repeats?
I like the idea, but that price point is ridiculous. 100’ of 550 paracord, a small spool of fishing line and snare wire will run you less than $15. No thank you.
One more thing, this fancy survival gear is nice, but unless you know how to use it, it’s useless. Try using regular 550 cord to build a ridge line for a tarp shelter; try catching small game with snare wire; and try catching fish without a fishing pole. If you’ve got the skills then buy the fancy stuff.
VEGAN POWER!!!!
58th
Sorry bud. Im not going to waste money on that kind of gimmick.. i dont want to be mean.. but that cost for cordage is ridiculous 25 dollars for rope. I can go to paracord.com and get 100 ft for 8 dollars. Buy 25lb monofiliment line off amazon for 10 (for 1100 YARDS), 200 ft PICTURE wire (rated for 55lbs ) for 7 dollars. for roughtly the same price i get more snare and fishing line for the cost.. if that is whats most important.
Are we really back to reviewing paracord??? Smh
Far too expensive. Waxed bank line has a strength of 325lbs and is far more less weight and far less expensive. I no longer use paracord.
I'll put you 25 bucks my name is Austin and I will pay you $25 to take anything about paracord or camping down
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”
Matthew 6:33
One day you peons will learn that MIL-SPEC is a MINIMUM STANDARD, not the end all say all.
Gimmick. Not practical.
