Good deals on paracord at the minute

[Shewie]

There seems to be some decent quality paracord going on ebay right now.

I`ve just got 100' for £7.45 incl p&p

Suppose I won`t know how good it is until it arrives though, I`ve bought some pretty carp stuff online before.

carp para cord is that just for fishing?

it depends if it is the webtext stuff and i find that more like green garden string from b&q or if it is of a higher quality.

let us know though.

Turned up this morning and I`m very pleased. First impressions are it`s very good quality and as good as any 550 I bought lately. From the label it looks like it`s produced on contract for the US government by Rothco whoever they are. Tested to 550lb, 7 strand white inner core and 100% nylon.

Very pleased with my purchase.

If anyone`s interested ..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/550lb-BLACK-N...14&_trkparms=72:1298|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

no connection to seller just a happy customer

Thanks for the heads up Shewie.

Have you tried the abrasion test on it yet (holding it taught across something like the edge of a door frame and vigorously rubbing it up and down over about 15 cm, genuine paracord should take it for about 100 strokes)?
