Reflective 550 Para Cord

"Rip Cord" isn't just for parachutes anymore ...

Think Survival - Ask just about any military soldier, sailor, airman or marine and he can tell you about the wonders of this little thing called 550 cord. Why do they call it 550 cord? It can withstand 550 pounds of pull before it breaks. It may be the only thing on earth that has almost as many uses as duct tape. When military and special forces deploy on mission, one of the standard items to bring along is 50 feet of 550 cord. Many carry it as a braided wrist band or lanyard that's always ready.
