550 Paracord 100ft - Molten Orange - Atwood Rope

Molten Orange 550 Paracord

This is a 100 ft (30 m) hank of Atwood Rope 550 paracord in the Molten Orange colorway, an orange weave flecked with red and purple. Paracord is the nylon cord first made for parachute lines, and it is now the standard utility line for campers, preppers and anyone who builds bracelets, lanyards and knife wraps. Use it for guy lines, tarp ridgelines and lashing gear to a pack. The bright pattern is also easy to spot on the ground, at a campsite or in the bottom of a bag.

Features

• 550 lb Test Rating — The "550" in the name is the cord's rated breaking strength in pounds, the figure printed on the label.
• 7-Strand Inner Core — Seven twisted white yarns run inside the outer sheath and can be pulled out individually for sewing thread, snare wire or fishing line.
• 8 Lines In 1 — The seven inner strands plus the woven sheath give you eight separate lines from a single length of cord.
• 100 ft (30 m) Hank — The cord comes bundled in a banded hank long enough for several shelter setups or a run of craft projects.
• Nylon Construction — The sheath and core are nylon, which stays flexible and resists rot.
• All-Weather And UV Resistant — The manufacturer rates the cord for outdoor use in all weather and for resistance to sun fading and UV breakdown.
• Ties Well — The tight woven sheath holds knots securely and is suited to both field lashings and decorative weaves.
• Molten Orange Pattern — The orange base carries a fine red and purple fleck that stands out against green and brown terrain.
• Made In The USA — Atwood Rope MFG manufactures this paracord in the United States, as marked on the label.

Construction and Use

Atwood builds this cord as a woven nylon sheath over a 7-strand core, so the hollow casing can also be gutted and used on its own when you need a flatter, lighter line. The ends cut cleanly and can be sealed with a lighter to stop fraying. At 100 ft, one hank covers a tarp ridgeline, several guy lines and a few spare lengths for the kit bag, or a batch of bracelets and lanyards.
