Paracord — A Tool for Survival

Article Category: Sports

Author Name: Jarod King

Survival has prompted humankind to develop tools and techniques for them to increase their chances of living longer. It was this necessity that pushed people to create cordages as necessary implements for their everyday subsistence. And in an attempt to improve the quality of cordage, people were able to invent the paracord or the parachute cord. These were originally used by the United States army as ropes for parachutes in World War II, but was eventually mainstreamed into the world market and made commercial because of its many uses, especially outdoors.

Increasing survival chances in the wild will first be determined by your will. Hopelessness only worsens your condition and clouds your judgment. It will then be your awareness to things that will allow you to make clearer judgments and make assessments of one's current state and what is available to you. Finally wit and creativity will be key in increasing your chances of survival—the ability to make-do with the materials you have and the conditions you are in. However, in emergency situations, it will always be best if you have accessories on hand which will give you a surviving opportunity .

The troops of the United States for example, saw the paracord's value as a survival tool as some would cut their cords after landing from their parachute for future use. The paracord, made of nylon, is particularly helpful because it is a light, elastic and durable rope. It is known as the 550 paracord as its tensile strength is at the minimum of 550 pounds—enough to hold a person. Today, people have braided paracords into bracelets for fashion and for possible future use. National Geographic's "Man Vs. Wild" host, Bear Grylls, is known to have been using a paracord bracelet in his shows and is also known to have a paracord intricately tied onto the handle of his knife. There are several bracelets available online but you can also craft your own. You can make it using the popular cobra knot and there are several instructional videos available online that may serve as a guide.

So what are some of the ways that the paracord has been used? In the outdoors, several things can happen which may push you to think of ways to use one. If in need of a dwelling, it can tie the ends of a sheet to make a tent or shelter. A proper shelter can shield you from exposure from drops in temperature and other elements in the wild. A sanctuary will definitely increase your chances of survival and boost your spirits. Also, if in need of more nutrients, it can be used to build traps for wild animals or be used as a fishing line to give you more opportunity to meet your bodily requirements. Additionally, it can help you build a fire as a good fire starter or as a part of a bow string—one will need to build a fire for food and warmth.

These are just some of the ways the paracord has been used and there are countless other ways you can use them if need be. If planning a camping trip or any outdoor activity, it will be prudent to bring one or wear a paracord bracelet; it might come in handy.
