The Rothco 550 lb Type III Polyester Paracord - Black is a core outdoor and survival gear item for tying, lashing, organizing, and crafting. The seven-strand polyester design can be disassembled for smaller cord tasks, while the 550 lb tensile rating supports general utility work around camp, trail, or emergency kits. Its black finish and compact diameter make it easy to add to rucksacks, bug-out bags, and everyday carry gear.
