        I've heard of that place! Yeah, I think they might carry it. I looked it up and the website is http://www.amazon.com. It's an interesting place.

          I guess I've wiped it from my memory because I can't remember what the issue was with them, but I do recall removing the link I had to their site, vowing never to buy from them again.

              My guess would be it was 5 strand paracord and not the 7 strand

                  It wasn't over paracord, that much I remember. Pretty sure it had something to do with them giving me trouble with a return. I'm old school - customer service after a sale ranks pretty high with me. That's why I'll rarely, if ever, get anything from eBay. I've had too many issues there.

                    Re: Paracord

                    I normally buy imitation para/550 cord at a local surplus store (real parachute cord, 7 internal strands, is hard to find any more).


                    ...Reminds me; its time for the semi annual surplus store pilgrimage, to see what, if anything, is new/old but newly available.
                    ... need to see if they have tubular webbing in bulk too.


                    Enjoy!

                    For DD & "civilized" camping; 2003 Ford explorer sport, 4wd; ARB & torsen diffs, 4.10 gears, 32" MTs.
                    Ground tents work best for me, so far.
                    Experience along with properly set up 4WD will get you to & through places (on existing, approved 4WD trails) that 4WD, alone, can't get to.

                      Paracord is great for some things. But for tent guy lines, better than paracord (which is nylon and stretches) is:

                      Made in USA by the seller. I got some of the orange reflective a while ago and can highly recommend it. If you want super strong he also makes and sells spectra cord.
