PSKOOK Paracord Survival Cord with Waxed Tinder Fishing Line Cotton Thread Outdoor Commercial Grade Braided Fire Parachute Cord Ropes

As with all the PSKOOK products that I've had, this firecord doesn't disappoint. It is good strong cord and as you can see from the photos it includes all three extra strands.The firecord itself holds a flame well (see photo) and burns long enough to be able to use it to light some tinder for starting a fire.The fishing line is strong (they state 40lb) which is more than strong enough to catch most fish you'll find on your travels.The cotton is cotton, can't really say much about that other than it will work for sewing buttons back on, repairing rips, etc.All in all very impressed and good value too

Sometimes you discover an idea that makes you wonder why it's not the default standard for that product. This paracord is one of those products. Normally, if I'm camping or walking off track, I'd take my leatherman with me in its pouch with a Lenser P2, the tool and ferro rod. To date, the best kindling I've found for an emergency fire that lights well with the ferro rod is cotton wool. The waxed tinder in this paracord is better.Cut a short length of the cord and pull the waxed tinder thread free. Place it on a flattish surface and use the blade to scrap off the wax and fluff the thread. Place this with the rest of the kindling and use the end of the rod to hold it down. Strike the rod (I find a saw blade works better) towards the thread and it will light and burn long enough for the rest of kindling to catch.I'll keep this stuff in my walking pack for camping / days out but I've also removed the P2's strap and replaced it with a length of cord making the pouch an ideal all-in-one carry in case an off track walk takes a turn for the worse.

Normal para cord. Does not have extra cords, the reason for purchasing. Not a happy shopper.

There is a lot to like with the paracord; It looks and feels like regular paracord and at just under £12 for 100ft isn't silly expensive the flexibility also means its just as easy to work with. I was concerned that the fire starting cord and fishing line would be difficult to remove from the rest resulting in the whole thing coming apart and making the actual cord useless but this isn't the case with both sliding out easily leaving the remaining strands in the casing.The fire starting cord burns reasonably well and should be a good light weight option if you're ever in that much difficulty.The fero rod on the necklace is very short but still manages to throw a decent amount of sparks when struck with a knife blade but I couldn't get anywhere with the striker attached to it, this might be more to do with my technique though than any issues with the striker.Haven't had chance to use the fishing line properly yet but when I compared it to some old line I've got in the shed it seems to have a decent enough breaking strength and is fine enough that it would be difficult to see in the water or set up as a snare.All in all its a pretty good well made product that does what it says on the tin.

Good quality cord not like cheaper varients that have a plastic feel to it, easy to use in multiple knot configurations. The specialized inner strands are very useful especially the cotten thread that can be used for emergancy clothing/gear repairs , fishing line is comparable to a 6lb braid in tensile strenght however the waxed firecord is rather dissapointing and im certain you could achieve the same results or better by just lighting ordinary paracord but its a feature none the less . Its a useful additon to my pack i take in the woods and by the river and has been pushed to its limits and survived it well.

Awesome paracord it’s not a 550 it is a 350 as they explain but extremely useful specially if you want to have it in a paracord bracelet, wax that works like a candle so it last longer with the flame then a fishing line then a cotton line and the other 7 super resistant lines. It’s just awesome.

Good compromise on official survival paracord all survival filaments work and the strength is good. Putchased this batch to so some paracord qeave projects like the bracelet in the photo. Looks great and has a handy 2m of rope, fire kindle, thread and.fishing wire for emergencies

This is excellent firecord lights very well with a ferrorod when you pull the red flax into seperate strands and burns long enough and hot enough to get the rest of your tinder/kindling lit. Also use the paracord for practicing and learning to tie knots and has already come in handy on a recent trip when i used it to mend my sandals and to extend a guyline from a rocky ground.
