Also, the term REAL paracord is misleading...
Some people think that anything that does not have exactly SEVEN inner strands is not REAL paracord...
That would eliminate the EIGHT strand stuff that was linked to earlier and that is used by(I think) the British military...

SEVEN strand is one of the WEAKEST of the paracords!!!
I have some 13 strand stuff that I got from a 'Rigging' store(parachute making supplier) that is MUCH stronger... Most of the really strong stuff is only available in white though...
I use a lot of the orange stuff, but I just found REAL 'Blase Orange' paracord and MAN does that stuff show up in the sunlight!!!
