MAMBA Paracord 550 is made with a core of 7 nylon threads in a nylon outer braid. Paracord is ideal for survival enthusiasts and general purpose use. The rope can be used in tact or the inner threads can be removed for stitching, fishing and a variety of applications. Once the inner threads have been removed the outer braid can still be used for various applications. Paracord is often made into bracelets, lanyards and knife handles and is a very popular survival tool.
