[Forest fella]

Hi, Anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy Quality Genuine 5mm Thick Green para-cord in 15mtr's or Longer,as I've just looked on bay and there not as cheap as I was looking for.
cheers

15 mtrs or longer you'll be buying new cord for those lengths.. If you can manage with about 7.5 mtr lengths try endicotts here

You probably wont find it any cheaper unless you buy in bulk ! Link to 550 paracord in olive green. £4 for 50 foot delivered.

Hi

I just bought a load in various colours for my Scouts to make stuff with (keyrings lanyards etc). (about 1000' I think)
This is where I got it from http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/paracord-85-c.asp

No affiliation, just what I considered to be good service, choice and price.

Oh Cheers Guy's I will have alook at your links.

7.5mtr's didn't sound like much intil I just got the tape out,and it's longer than my tape.And that's longer than I'm going to need I think.
so I might get some hanks of this one.
cheers

What will you use it for? Paracord is overused by many bushcrafters, used when there is simply no need whatsoever for that sort of cord.

 

[Forest fella]

it's actually for a mate,I made him a survival kit on friday and told him I'd give him some cord,and when I looked in my bag of goodies I found I had none.
And yeah I'd agree that para-cord is over used,But I'd rather have it than ordinary string just incase I really did need that strength,And isn't that the point of most things,It's better tobe safe than sorry.

In a survival kit your looking at lightweight duty, tent guyline, garden twine or even the 50m polypro garden line from the likes of Wilko will suit a survival kit better to be honest and takes up less space; have a re-think and let us know what you decide.
