I've purchased 550 from them in the past, nice customer service and good quality. If/when I need to purchase again I'd use them.

Goes without saying I have no financial interest in the company.

Does anyone know if there is a mil-spec variety whose seven inner strands are not composed of two smaller strands. I want mine to have the two smaller strands.
Does anyone know of a reliable source for this?

I found this site.
They differentiate between that "PARACORD HAS 7 BRAIDED NYLON INNER STRANDS," whereas "ONLY 300' SPOOLS HAVE G.I. BRAID."

I have 2 (white and black) 1000ft rolls comes in handy. I use it ALL the time. I love having ~100ft in my truck for misc. things. For the cost and functionality it works great, it's not a high-end cord that can be used over and over again but I have used some for an entire summer in the back of my truck. Decent UV protection but not THE BEST out there. I`ll look up my receipt.
