A Quick Question about Paracord

[Native Nathan]

OK I've scoured the net and can't find any answers

so I'm asking for your help.

How much does Genuine 550 Paracord weigh?
Per 50 Feet?
Per 10 Meters?

If no one comes up with an answer I've just bought 100' of 550 so I'll weigh it in the morning for you then you can use mathematics to work out what 10 meters and 50' weigh.

Good question.
I've not got a clue, looking forward to hearing the answer.

3.5 to 4 oz per 50 ft.

50' olive drab is 3 5/8 oz

Thanks guys, now I have to go play with a pen and paper and work out how many grams 3 5/8 oz is

Thanks again

 

[Native Nathan]

50' olive drab is 3 5/8 oz

this works out as 103 grams for 50 foot
and therefore 67.5 Grams per 10 meters

Cheers guys

Sorry to ask this. Why do you need to know? I have 25foot around my wrist and a steel shackel and hardly notice it there all day long. Is carry weight so inportant in so out door stuff?

I am trying out a program called "Sherpa" you enter all your kit and the weights, then select what your taking and it tells you the weight of your pack, it allows me to swap kit items for lighter stuff, I've managed to save 2KG's so fat and that is a significant amount of weight saved for me....
