Parachute cord, or paracord, is a durable rope perfect for wilderness situations.

Parachute cord, or paracord, is a highly durable rope-like cord that should be included in every wilderness survival kit. A compact way to carry eight feet or more of paracord is to knot it into a paracord bracelet that can be worn around the wrist and unraveled when needed. Because a paracord bracelet must be braided together and then worn, the fit may be off. Paracord bracelets are made by a series of loose and tight knots. By maneuvering the cord through these loose and tight knots on the bracelet, you can loosen and tighten the bracelet to adjust the fit.
