Why do people obsess over paracord? What the hell do they think they're going to do with 20 feet of it?

[Anonymous No.393301]

Well, OP, depends on what you do on a daily basis. As for me, I'm a radio technician and on more than one occasion I've needed a variety of different tools that we didn't have in our shop. So, being the awesome Marine I am, I was proactive and got a Gerber. They also have knives and saws and shit, so that'll help if you ever get attacked/abducted. These days, I'd say thats a realistic possibility.

Paracord bracelet, Belt buckle with hidden lock picks, good folding knife, small multi tool (doesn't count as a knife) lighter, 20 bucks, ID, 2.50 in quarters, thin gloves, laminated card with important phone numbers, or memorize that shit. first aid kit depending on what you're doing

Gerber steel. I have a solid multi-tool from them with a one handed open/close mechanism that is guaranteed for life. Pricey but worth it.

Every time I leave my house I have a few things. I always dress in layers appropriate for the current weather, polarized sunglasses, keys, wallet, multitool, mobile phone, bic lighter and enough change for 2 phone calls.

I constantly find uses for all of these in any given trip outside.

If I plan on being out for a while I always bring my backpack which has a bottle of water, a small cloth and a change of socks wrapped in a plastic bag.

This is a bare minimum carry for every day stuff.

Also I carry bic instead of zippos because they don't evaporate fuel. On longer trips or camping trips I always carry my zippo, a bic, and matches all in different places. Being able to make fire will save your life.

[Anonymous No.394026]

The thing about paracord is there are a million uses for rope in emergency and non emergency situation. The problem is it is usually quite bulky and can be heavy.

Awesome for a car or bug out bag but iffy for an EDC, para cord jewelery is a decent idea to get rid of the space issue but usually you wont have a useful length of rope from that unless you are using a paracord belt.

Paracord is not being used as a synonym for rope, paracord is one large cord made up of a cover that holds several smaller cords which are each made up of several cords entwined together. It is very strong and much more durable than say a sisal or nylon rope and the cost increase is very reasonable.

[Anonymous No.394042]

My main issue with paracord is that it doesn't knot worth shit, and my secondary issue is that it was never really designed for normal rope-type stuff. While it -can- hold your weight, it should never be relied upon to do so. 550 is the breaking strength, not the safe load. The safe load is generally a fifthish of the breaking strength, and if you're in a true emergency, the last thing you need is to break your legs. Add the awful knotting ability and I would never trust the stuff to take a significant amount of weight in anything I care about.

Take away all that and you've just got a handy cover for mason's line....so why not carry mason's line instead?

Some of the EDC people have is fucking crazy,on the same level as the serious z-day preppers.

I mean a fucking hand gun? Maybe if you live in Detroit, the middle east, Mexico or similar. Lock picks? I'm into locksport but fucking carrying around lock picks for edc, ok mate.

Assess the activities of your everyday life activities and likely hood of scenarios v.s. inconvenience required to carry the items.

Basically a torch, small knife and/or a multitool, card in wallet with important details, pen+pad and some change would cover 90% of people for everyday affairs.

Maybe late night workers in shit areas a larger knife + TRAINING. If in a really really shit area and you're a female than maybe a hand gun + TRAINING.

Ultimately nothing is move valuable in shit situations than training EDC tools come second.

>>397024

Paracord is actually pretty damn amazing, any one who thinks other wise, is proably just a fucking retard who can't aknowledge how amazing it is. It got the name of 550 cord for a reason, that's it being able to hold 550 pounds of weight, which is fucking amazing for how small and thin the rope it, now try holding up the same amount of weight with some "Heavy twine" or with a "clothesline" You can easily have three thousand feet of paracord, have it take up to lil to no room, also being able to buy a good product for next to nothing is good as well. Maybe you should try leaving your house for once, try doing stuff that involves tie downs and crap like that, then your opinion probably change.

I was insulting paracord not you. If you actually are the personification of paracord I apologize for insulting you. I never insulted you. Tensile strength of a good nylon twine would be a few hundred pounds. Move up to some decent clothesline and you are talking thousands. A lot of people are also buying something that looks like paracord but really has sub 100lb strength.

I am assuming you were trying to insult me by telling me to leave my house. That was very clever. You can actually use rope indoors but just in case you are worried about my complexion I have seen the sun on occasion during the 30+ years I have been alive. I have even used rope outdoors where real men like you use rope.

I'm gonna stop you right there, because it's pretty clear that you've never tied anything down before. 20 feet (bracelets are actually only 10 feet) is not enough to tie anything bigger than a large backpack down, and paracord doesn't hold friction hitches worth a damn anyway, so it's a moot point.

The rest of your suggestions are similarly suspect on the basis of awful knotting ability. Ten feet of clothesline would literally be much more useful.

[Anonymous No.397091]

>>397028
Paracord can't hold 550 pounds. Paracord breaks at 550 pounds when brand new, and considerably less when it's dirty and UV-decayed and fatigued. With a safety factor of 5, that's 110 pounds, and rope with a safe load of 110 pounds is not hard to find at all. I'm pretty sure I've got some clothesline that's rated for 120.

Dafuq why should i carry metric Allen keys?
I have Knife, paracord, Bloodtype tag, small steril bandages, small trauma scissor, latex gloves, in a belt pack. But these Allen keys are useless if you are walking in my Motorcycle there is a set of them but thats cause it is a old timer.

I agree, but at least get a paracord bracelet and a lighter/fire starter. Rope & fire increases odds of survival in most scenarios.

10 foot of paracord isn't going to do shit to help you.

paracord: for when you're smart enough to rig a useful shelter out of cordage and sticks, but stupid enough to get lost in the wilderness with nothing but paracord

a cell phone and a wallet.

wallet should contain 20-60 dollars in cash, photo ID and some kind of plastic (prepaid debit, debit, or credit)

he said realistic. needing to start a fire and build a shelter are not realistic scenarios for the average person (or any western citizen)

Emergency cash
flashlight
knife
cord
lighter
handkerchief
multitool (Klein 11-in-1 for me)

That depends on where you live. I lived innawoods in the UP of Michigan for a while, and I had to do those occasionally. But its supposed that the frozen asshole of the US isn't average.
