Paracord bracelet making started when some paratroopers in the military had dropped in and gotten lost. They took the cord that they had from the parachutes and tied it into a survival braceletthat they wore and could take apart if they ever needed the cord. So now a neat idea has turned into an amazingly popular hobbie and even a business for lots of people.
Parachute cord is nylon strips of thin string are woven into a braid around another set of pieces of nylon (usually seven strands) and braided. There are 16 strips orriginally with the amount under the 16 strands strengthening it until it becomes strong enough to hold 550 pounds without breaking.
Paracord is soft and eay to work with, it does not give to many rope burns and is comfortable in your hands,
Hey man thanks for the info.
