for the lovers of high vis orange, neon yellow and neon pink are way more visible.

Yes, but what is an international "rescue-me" color? I don't suppose it is pink is it?

your probably not going to make a rescue me sign with para cord.

OK, I am going to be the odd one here.

White

A. 'cause that's what I have

B. 'cause I think it is a little easier to see at night when you are triping over your shelter support.

I probably have more white than anything. Why, because it is usually the cheapest!!!

I'm a follower of Cody Lundin. White during summer and black in the snow during winter which makes a lot of sense. My winter jacket is also black for similar reasons. I also got some blaze orange paracord from countycomm along with black, white and olive drab. I use the olive drab to practice and fool around making knots and bracelets, etc.

I have black and white also. Just because that's what I got at a good price not for any other reason <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I bought some orange from CountyComm. After it gets a little dirty it looks brown. I think white is good, yellow would be even better.

Anyone tried than nice high-visibility yellow paracord with the 3M reflective threads in it? Seems like it would be choice for both daytime and nighttime use.

Tadgear makes a white cord that glows in the dark. It is not 550 strength but excellent for lanyards, etc. I had left some out in the house and found that it glows a long time after being exposed to sunlight coming through the windows and then to electric lights before retiring.

JC: Do you have a link for the high-visibility yellow paracord with the 3M reflective threads?
