Paracord Suppliers

[rorymax]

Could I ask you folks where you purchase your Paracord from?

I would be using it for tarp guys.

I found some on ebay, 100 feet delivered costs less than £3.00, but does it get your approval ?

Thank you,

Bushcraftstore sorry can't do links. I have bought paracord off ebay cheap and it's okay for somethings but quality is a bit ropey (hah!) best to spend more and get the proper stuff as it's not really that expensive.

Nothing wrong with paracord but do you need it for Tarp Guys?

Don't get me wrong , there is nothing wrong with using P-cord for Guy lines , if you want the hi viz colours oe the stuff with reflective tracer in it thats fine ( there are fortunately no 'rules' to bushcraft ) , I just didn't want you to think it was a MUST have. Normal cord can suffice , just learn how to use some tensioner knots.

In case you need some extra info this is the wiki on P-Cord 550 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

Heinnie are great folks to deal with...

Or, if you are feeling particularly flush the Hilleberg 2mm guy line from Woodlore is very strong and visible in low light, some was supplied with my tarp and I have been using it for years.

If you wanted anything else , have a look over Endicotts site and place an order , be cheeky and ask if they will throw in a few rolls of P-cord to sweeten the deal as a 1st time customer.

I've had a couple of bits from these guys recently and they are good on service and selection. Generally because I like to support local as opposed to getting from abroad on eBay, but they've got a decent range of cheaper items compared to some:

Just get some tent guy line cord, more than good enough for your needs.

I have bought a few bits off these guys over the past few months: http://www.hunterscampingandbushcraft.co.uk/

Mainly because they are local(ish) to me and I prefer to buy local than on eBay but they have a decent enough selection compared to some, especially on the paracord.

The Bushcraft Store has every colour you could think of.

Unless you really want to stay hidden, I find this stuff the best. The reflective strip is highly visible in torchlight.

The best stuff I have found is from Heinnie Haynes, American made and genuine, loads better than the fake stuff found on Auction sites!
