This is just General Purpose rope and it is made in China. It is OK rope suitable for tent lines, lashing, hanging food up in tree, tying people up, etc. It is not Para Cord like someone said, that being said it could be Chinese Para Cord which could explain why they hit the ground with a thud. If you want General Purpose rope just go to one of the DIY stores and put the money for shipping with your rope money and buy a better rope. The rope is about 3/16th's of a inch thick. It is Olive Drab in color and does not have individual cords inside. It is just General Purpose rope.

no doubt this is the WORST purchase i have ever made. the picture is a lie. the picture is of parachute cord (what i thought i was buying), it's not. it's the kind of rope that borders the shallow end of the pool. oh yeah, and it's canary yellow. this is false advertising. it's both reprehensible and insulting. wth?

be sure you know it is not paracord nor is it rope it is dual core nylon cord.
I bought this thinking it was paracord but that is what I get for shopping tired.
not to be rude but this stuff is not a good purchase or a great product.
you can get real paracord for 4 something rated for 550lbs do that, it is also made in USA and tested I.E. Mil Spec.

You might want to tie your load down with this, but not your life.
You get what you pay for.
"Emergency Zone Brand"... pure marketing words

If you want real lightweight STRONG rope, go to a sailing/marine store and ask for it.
Super strong, super light, worth the price, and so is your life.

I haven't tried to strength test this, but it looks like it is of decent quality. It's not fancy, looks like it was hand wrapped from a larger spool. Hope I don't need it for anything serious, but it's nice to have on hand for an emergency shelter or strapping something down in the truck.

I was actually looking for some military paracord but, got his by accident. It works well enough but, does not have the smaller strands inside like paracord. Instead, it has a loose braided rope inside. I have not used it for any strength demanding tasks but, it works fine for light duty work.

Its rope, you use it for stuff, probably not military grade, or tested but I presume its good enough to tie bear bags with.

Light, cheap, green, rope.

This is 5mmx50feet. This is NOT "para cord" or "550 cord". it does not even have the white guts in it. If all your looking for is nylon rope this will work. Just don't buy it if you what the real stuff.

Good basic, lightweight rope. Not as strong or compact as good para cord, and it frays more, but previous reviewers correctly praised its suitability for vehicular/survival kit use. It's quite adequate for securing tarps. Not for lack of trying, but I haven't managed to break a strand of it yet.

goes in my glove box and has tied down tons of stuff whenever needed with out knotting up on me as it was being used.

I recommend several units of the stuff because its tough and useful
