I personally never really get the point of paracord. Carrying dedicated items seems to do the job better, while barely taking any more space.

I don't want to take cord apart to use bits of it. I don't want to do it when i just want to sewn and I'm sure it's challenge to do so when i need a fire. Taking paracord with numb vingers to get to the tinder seems less then optimal when i'm near hyperthermia.

Certain things are better when carried as seperate items.

As laces, they don't seem to grip the knots as well and not that abrassive resistant.

For constructing things in the wilderness I much prefer twine for being biodegradable, cheap and strong enough.
