I buy paracord in 1000' foot spools also.

Then for EDC I have a cobra braid key fob unbraided is about 22 feet.

For my hike kit I have a 75 foot length, a 25 foot length, a 6 foot, and a 3 foot with a frayed end. 75 and 25 for shelters etc. 6 foot for those handy little needs. the 3 foot for making bow for fire drill or I can get a inner strand for small projects. I find I use up my 3 footer quicker then I replace the 3 footers from the 6 foot length that is getting worn.The 6 and the 3 I call my working lengths. I also replace my boot laces with Paracord. My compass has a neck lanyard of just the outer sheath of paracord(no inner strands) with a quick disconnect so I don't get choked if tangled.
