I spent way to much time writing this. It was worth every second! The best paracord on the market!
My initial review was left at the bottom if you would like to read that first.People keep getting confused at what they get depending on the feet. Please +1 my review so people can see this.50 Feet, 100 Feet, 150 Feet - These will be coiled in a bag, it will not be tangled as long as you pull it out neatly.200 Feet - This will be wound onto a TUBE.500 Feet, 1000 Feet - These will be wound onto a spoolI wanted to update my review so people really knew what they were buying. What you are buying is TRUE Military Grade Paracord. It has 11 internal strands, each strand being made up of 3 threads, as well as a tracer strand, made of three threads.Each thread, seems to be made of dozens of fibers! Mine seemed to possibly be slightly thicker than normal paracord, due to the extra strands, of course, that is good in most aspects, my other paracord may just be skinny, though I am unsure! The shipping speed was excellent and the packaging was great, since then I've tested it and used it on a swing-set where multiple people sat on top of each other (LOL) and it added up to around 680 pounds. I WOULD bet my life on this rope if I had to. Of course, there are many other preferred ropes for things like mountain climbing. Although if I had to go swinging off the side of a mountain like Tarzan, I am almost positive this rope would hold up, but I'm unsure that my bladder would!All of the negative reviews make it seem like there may be better options out there...THERE IS NOT. I'm not a arts and craft kind of guy, I recently used this paracord to see how it held up a tarp and then used a hose and threw some water on top that way I got to test a tarp and see how some cordage held up to being wet, and the weight of water. Today we're having some crazy rain with 30-40MPH winds, gusts of 65-70MPH. I don't expect to see a difference tomorrow, other than everything being soaked, and possibly frozen. Within the next couple of months I will hopefully be getting some land, and if I do, I'll throw up a lean-to shelter and post pictures of how it holds up. For the people wanting to use this for arts and crafts, I can't really say much about it, it's strength is great, and you should be able to fit it through any eyelet's.One thing I will say is that if you do allot of hiking, backpacking, or camping. This will be great for tarps, but I wouldn't recommend it for hammocks. Personally never used it on a hammock but it's gonna hurt the trees, just use the hammock straps, and get lighter ones if the included are too heavy. I've heard of people ending up on the floor due to the normal stretch of paracord, but I doubt that would happen, generally the straps that are included are best for use anyway. If anyone knows more about the subject, please inform me!If anyone has any questions, please ask, I'll let you know if I have any personal experience, of if its just research I've done, and then I'll respond to any questions! =)This is the best stuff on the market, imagine seeing almost 4000 reviews and all of them being 5-star reviews, would you not instantly buy it?I attached a picture showing the cord and its attributes.My original review is all the way at the bottom, I updated it after reading all the bad comments, and pretty much the rest of this review, is going over all of the comments people left, and why pretty much every single negative or neutral comment is inaccurate and should be taken down.What I really wanted to get across is all of the bad reviews.There are only currently five 1 Star reviews, them all being quite silly reviews.I went over 1 star, 2 star and 3-star reviews. If you want to view them, they are all below.Most of the reviews people did accidental negative reviews or were just ignorant in their purchase.In the 4 star reviews, people said how good it was, yet only put 4 stars. While I think 4 stars is good, truthfully it deserves 5, there is nothing better on the market.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------One Star Reviews:1) If you look through them you, you will see the oldest review described the product as "As described" yet put a 1-star review. I assume this was a mistake.2,3) The other 1 star reviews consist of two people who didn't know you have to burn the ends to keep them from fraying.4) One person who thinks paracord is supposed to never tangle or knot up, they did not store it properly and it knotted up.5) The last person liked the paracord but did NOT like how the seller was spamming them. The seller only sends out a couple emails, they are looking to give their buyers more than asked for, they are such great, sincere guys, as well as they have multiple links to stop the three emails that are sent out. The rest are sent by Amazon and have nothing to do with this seller.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two Star Reviews:1) 1st guy is angry that his 100 FEET of paracord is not wrapped around a spool.Perhaps if he took a closer inspection at, the pictures he would realize that the 100 feet do not come in a spool.2) Next person says"If you use this stuff I tried it don't like it first the bag it came in it was all knotted up and this cord does not hold a not it makes lousy shoe laces don't try it" So his cord came knotted but somehow did NOT hold a knot for shoe laces...First off, that statement alone is contradicting itself, but besides that, I've never seen paracord used as shoelaces. Mine did NOT come knotted and I pulled it out neatly have it stored, it does NOT get knotted from my experience.3) Another reviewer says it did not hold up in weather, but then did not explain to the seller how it did not hold up, whether it snapped, shredded, or anything else, they simply just said they tried to use it to secure a winter pool cover. What I think is that the cord got a little fuzzy due to the elements, but it can still hold up well!4)The next reviewer claims that they could feel "hard spots" under the paracord where it was tied together, and they did not feel the same thing from some Walmart paracord they bought. They never checked if it was tied together, they just assumed.I took quite a large chunk from my 100 feet and ensured that nothing on the inside is tied together, I pulled out all of the internal strands, it is truly Military Grade paracord as I've previously stated, you won't find better quality.5) The next review thought that para-cord was rope, big thick rope, which it is not. So the buyer was ignorant and then put a two-star review.6) Another reviewer claimed their cord broke at a low weight, perhaps it did, that's one defect out of thousands, check your cords strength when you get it, and call the seller if it's defective.7,8) There are two review's left, one claimed the color is not Coyote Brown. Perhaps he was accidently shipped the wrong color, or the Coyote Brown is not an accurate description, we will never know! What I do know, is that I don't care if the only color was a bright hot pink, I'd still use this cord, it's the best I've ever purchased and I will continue to buy it from them.The last review is complete bull sh*t. Pardon my language.They claim that the FREE offer you get, for two PDF files (readable files) and 25 FREE feet of paracord, is a virus.Yes, Bill and Adam, the sellers of this product, offer you three free items, you can accept or deny it. The last review claims that the link will give you a virus, while I cannot attest to what other links he clicked on, I can tell you the email I received was completely legit and contained no virus. Every link was HTTPS secured, and all of the certificates were in place, it is a completely trusted website.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three Star Reviews -1) First reviewer states "good"Not much detail and three stars is an "It's okay" rating, perhaps they should try and understand the rating system.2) Another review says the cord broke, but never responded as to how. Useless review.3) Next reviewer states the image pictured is not what is shipped.I don't know if they mean the color, spool differences, or if it's some big thick rope, but either way it's their fault for buying without reading.4) Another reviewer complained that he ran out of cord.....How silly does that sound? He also complains about the spools. That is why you read closely. I'm still in shock how he put a 3-star rating because he bought a 1000 spool last time from a different provider which was cheaper, and this one, logically, ran out faster due to him downgrading to 100 feet. Of course, that provider did not make this Military Grade cord.5) A reviewer didn't test the paracord but showed the inner strands, although still claims they wouldn't go to its max weight and doesn't explain why. Feel free to explain that to me, because I'm mind blown.6) David Castleman says the product wasn't as pictured, surely it was, perhaps his wasn't, or once again he is one of the people who doesn't know how to read.7) Scott accidently got a wrongfully colored paracord, although TOUGH-GRID made it right, and I guess he decided not to update the reviews...Hmm. Not very nice Scott!8) Another reviewer complains about how he got emails about leaving a review, his paracord was good, but he decides to put a 3-star review.What I find great is, Tough-Grid responded, telling him that if he can find better paracord, they will refund his offer, what I love about that is that they know there paracord is the best stuff on the market, no one competes with it.9) Next reviewer says paracord is fine and then complains about the emails.People need to stop reviewing the seller. Put your review down if the product is good or not, you can add information on the seller but don't change stars for it!10) Another review says he prefers mule tape...Of course, that has no relevance as to how well this cord performs.Second page! Woohoo!11) Says "Heavy Duty Utility Cord, what else to say"What else to say? How about perhaps why you put it as three stars! Yes, it's just rope, but imagine coming onto this page and seeing every single review being a 5-star review? Would that not sell you almost instantly? If there were almost 4000 reviews, all of them being 5-star reviews?12) Matt says it's not good for hammocks.We knew this. Hammocks need a non-stretch rope, or you need to have a sort of break-in period, to get the stretch out of the rope, or just use something like a tautline hitch so you can continuously tighten, obviously if you sleep on it, you should expect yourself on the ground in the morning.The last Third-star review!13) The mysterious Damon Hoffman! Damon Hoffman got the wrong order, due to a mess up at the Amazon warehouse. Tough-Grid wanted to send the right paracord for free but Mr. Damon did not request it, and Amazon would not give out his address to Tough-Grid, but Bill from Tough-Grid checked back every day for a year! You can see all the edits and posts he made, go take a look, it's quite amazing! It's under the 3-star reviews, sort by date and it is on the second page, at the bottom. It is the very first third-star review ever made, on Augst 8th, 2014.If you got all the way to the end, your crazy! Thanks for reading, hopefully this helped decide on your purchase and understand that all of these reviews are bull.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is my initial review: I've had dozens of different brands of paracord, cheaper, and more expensive then this paracord, and none of them are true military grade. This paracord, has 11 inner strands, and 1 "tracer" strand. Each strand being a tri-weave design, it truly is military grade, and the people that sell them, are absolute angels, they are great guys. I highly suggest you purchase this paracord, it's the best stuff out there, for an affordable price.

    Two Star Reviews:
    1) 1st guy is angry that his 100 FEET of paracord is not wrapped around a spool.
    Perhaps if he took a closer inspection at, the pictures he would realize that the 100 feet do not come in a spool.

    2) Next person says
    "If you use this stuff I tried it don't like it first the bag it came in it was all knotted up and this cord does not hold a not it makes lousy shoe laces don't try it"
    So his cord came knotted but somehow did NOT hold a knot for shoe laces...First off, that statement alone is contradicting itself, but besides that, I've never seen paracord used as shoelaces. Mine did NOT come knotted and I pulled it out neatly have it stored, it does NOT get knotted from my experience.

    3) Another reviewer says it did not hold up in weather, but then did not explain to the seller how it did not hold up, whether it snapped, shredded, or anything else, they simply just said they tried to use it to secure a winter pool cover. What I think is that the cord got a little fuzzy due to the elements, but it can still hold up well!

    4)The next reviewer claims that they could feel "hard spots" under the paracord where it was tied together, and they did not feel the same thing from some Walmart paracord they bought. They never checked if it was tied together, they just assumed.

    I took quite a large chunk from my 100 feet and ensured that nothing on the inside is tied together, I pulled out all of the internal strands, it is truly Military Grade paracord as I've previously stated, you won't find better quality.

    5) The next review thought that para-cord was rope, big thick rope, which it is not. So the buyer was ignorant and then put a two-star review.

    6) Another reviewer claimed their cord broke at a low weight, perhaps it did, that's one defect out of thousands, check your cords strength when you get it, and call the seller if it's defective.

    7,8) There are two review's left, one claimed the color is not Coyote Brown. Perhaps he was accidently shipped the wrong color, or the Coyote Brown is not an accurate description, we will never know! What I do know, is that I don't care if the only color was a bright hot pink, I'd still use this cord, it's the best I've ever purchased and I will continue to buy it from them.

    The last review is complete bull sh*t. Pardon my language.

    They claim that the FREE offer you get, for two PDF files (readable files) and 25 FREE feet of paracord, is a virus.
    Yes, Bill and Adam, the sellers of this product, offer you three free items, you can accept or deny it. The last review claims that the link will give you a virus, while I cannot attest to what other links he clicked on, I can tell you the email I received was completely legit and contained no virus. Every link was HTTPS secured, and all of the certificates were in place, it is a completely trusted website.

    Three Star Reviews -

    1) First reviewer states "good"
    Not much detail and three stars is an "It's okay" rating, perhaps they should try and understand the rating system.

    2) Another review says the cord broke, but never responded as to how. Useless review.

    3) Next reviewer states the image pictured is not what is shipped.
    I don't know if they mean the color, spool differences, or if it's some big thick rope, but either way it's their fault for buying without reading.

    4) Another reviewer complained that he ran out of cord.....How silly does that sound? He also complains about the spools. That is why you read closely. I'm still in shock how he put a 3-star rating because he bought a 1000 spool last time from a different provider which was cheaper, and this one, logically, ran out faster due to him downgrading to 100 feet. Of course, that provider did not make this Military Grade cord.

    5) A reviewer didn't test the paracord but showed the inner strands, although still claims they wouldn't go to its max weight and doesn't explain why. Feel free to explain that to me, because I'm mind blown.

    6) David Castleman says the product wasn't as pictured, surely it was, perhaps his wasn't, or once again he is one of the people who doesn't know how to read.

    7) Scott accidently got a wrongfully colored paracord, although TOUGH-GRID made it right, and I guess he decided not to update the reviews...Hmm. Not very nice Scott!

    8) Another reviewer complains about how he got emails about leaving a review, his paracord was good, but he decides to put a 3-star review.
    What I find great is, Tough-Grid responded, telling him that if he can find better paracord, they will refund his offer, what I love about that is that they know there paracord is the best stuff on the market, no one competes with it.

    9) Next reviewer says paracord is fine and then complains about the emails.
    People need to stop reviewing the seller. Put your review down if the product is good or not, you can add information on the seller but don't change stars for it!

    10) Another review says he prefers mule tape...Of course, that has no relevance as to how well this cord performs.
    Second page! Woohoo!

    11) Says "Heavy Duty Utility Cord, what else to say"
    What else to say? How about perhaps why you put it as three stars! Yes, it's just rope, but imagine coming onto this page and seeing every single review being a 5-star review? Would that not sell you almost instantly? If there were almost 4000 reviews, all of them being 5-star reviews?

    12) Matt says it's not good for hammocks.
    We knew this. Hammocks need a non-stretch rope, or you need to have a sort of break-in period, to get the stretch out of the rope, or just use something like a tautline hitch so you can continuously tighten, obviously if you sleep on it, you should expect yourself on the ground in the morning.

    The last Third-star review!
    13) The mysterious Damon Hoffman! Damon Hoffman got the wrong order, due to a mess up at the Amazon warehouse. Tough-Grid wanted to send the right paracord for free but Mr. Damon did not request it, and Amazon would not give out his address to Tough-Grid, but Bill from Tough-Grid checked back every day for a year! You can see all the edits and posts he made, go take a look, it's quite amazing! It's under the 3-star reviews, sort by date and it is on the second page, at the bottom. It is the very first third-star review ever made, on Augst 8th, 2014.

    If you got all the way to the end, your crazy! Thanks for reading, hopefully this helped decide on your purchase and understand that all of these reviews are bull.

    Here is my initial review: I've had dozens of different brands of paracord, cheaper, and more expensive then this paracord, and none of them are true military grade. This paracord, has 11 inner strands, and 1 "tracer" strand. Each strand being a tri-weave design, it truly is military grade, and the people that sell them, are absolute angels, they are great guys. I highly suggest you purchase this paracord, it's the best stuff out there, for an affordable price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I spent way to much time writing this. It was worth every second! The best paracord on the market!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017
    My initial review was left at the bottom if you would like to read that first.

    People keep getting confused at what they get depending on the feet. Please +1 my review so people can see this.
    50 Feet, 100 Feet, 150 Feet - These will be coiled in a bag, it will not be tangled as long as you pull it out neatly.
    200 Feet - This will be wound onto a TUBE.
    500 Feet, 1000 Feet - These will be wound onto a spool

    I wanted to update my review so people really knew what they were buying. What you are buying is TRUE Military Grade Paracord. It has 11 internal strands, each strand being made up of 3 threads, as well as a tracer strand, made of three threads.Each thread, seems to be made of dozens of fibers! Mine seemed to possibly be slightly thicker than normal paracord, due to the extra strands, of course, that is good in most aspects, my other paracord may just be skinny, though I am unsure! The shipping speed was excellent and the packaging was great, since then I've tested it and used it on a swing-set where multiple people sat on top of each other (LOL) and it added up to around 680 pounds. I WOULD bet my life on this rope if I had to. Of course, there are many other preferred ropes for things like mountain climbing. Although if I had to go swinging off the side of a mountain like Tarzan, I am almost positive this rope would hold up, but I'm unsure that my bladder would!

    All of the negative reviews make it seem like there may be better options out there...THERE IS NOT. I'm not a arts and craft kind of guy, I recently used this paracord to see how it held up a tarp and then used a hose and threw some water on top that way I got to test a tarp and see how some cordage held up to being wet, and the weight of water. Today we're having some crazy rain with 30-40MPH winds, gusts of 65-70MPH. I don't expect to see a difference tomorrow, other than everything being soaked, and possibly frozen. Within the next couple of months I will hopefully be getting some land, and if I do, I'll throw up a lean-to shelter and post pictures of how it holds up.

    For the people wanting to use this for arts and crafts, I can't really say much about it, it's strength is great, and you should be able to fit it through any eyelet's.
    One thing I will say is that if you do allot of hiking, backpacking, or camping. This will be great for tarps, but I wouldn't recommend it for hammocks. Personally never used it on a hammock but it's gonna hurt the trees, just use the hammock straps, and get lighter ones if the included are too heavy. I've heard of people ending up on the floor due to the normal stretch of paracord, but I doubt that would happen, generally the straps that are included are best for use anyway. If anyone knows more about the subject, please inform me!

    If anyone has any questions, please ask, I'll let you know if I have any personal experience, of if its just research I've done, and then I'll respond to any questions! =)

    This is the best stuff on the market, imagine seeing almost 4000 reviews and all of them being 5-star reviews, would you not instantly buy it?

    I attached a picture showing the cord and its attributes.

    My original review is all the way at the bottom, I updated it after reading all the bad comments, and pretty much the rest of this review, is going over all of the comments people left, and why pretty much every single negative or neutral comment is inaccurate and should be taken down.

    What I really wanted to get across is all of the bad reviews.

    There are only currently five 1 Star reviews, them all being quite silly reviews.

    I went over 1 star, 2 star and 3-star reviews. If you want to view them, they are all below.

    Most of the reviews people did accidental negative reviews or were just ignorant in their purchase.

    In the 4 star reviews, people said how good it was, yet only put 4 stars. While I think 4 stars is good, truthfully it deserves 5, there is nothing better on the market.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    One Star Reviews:
    1) If you look through them you, you will see the oldest review described the product as "As described" yet put a 1-star review. I assume this was a mistake.

    2,3) The other 1 star reviews consist of two people who didn't know you have to burn the ends to keep them from fraying.

    4) One person who thinks paracord is supposed to never tangle or knot up, they did not store it properly and it knotted up.

    5) The last person liked the paracord but did NOT like how the seller was spamming them. The seller only sends out a couple emails, they are looking to give their buyers more than asked for, they are such great, sincere guys, as well as they have multiple links to stop the three emails that are sent out. The rest are sent by Amazon and have nothing to do with this seller.

    The "Too Long, Didn't Read" version:
    This is hands down the best p-cord I've ever had the pleasure of using, no exaggerating, whatsoever. To boot, Bill and sons offer some of the best and most honest customer service I've ever seen on Amazon, or anywhere for that matter. My interactions with Bill have been so great, I'd even consider buying a punch in the face if he were to start selling them. The buck stops here, and the Tough-Grid family has more than earned my loyalty and lifelong business.

    The "Does It More Justice" version:
    I'll try to keep this short, but honestly, I find it difficult since the product and service are so outstanding. First, I'm a veteran with seven years of fairly recent active duty military service, all served while assigned to mobility units. This means I've seen my fair share of 550 cord. I've helped prep countless pallets of comm equipment that needed to be popped into various cargo aircraft, for nearly every kind of deployment one can think of. Sure, cargo straps provided the main support, but having 550 on hand was an absolute necessity. We'd blow through a couple 300 meter spools, in one afternoon, without even thinking about it. And that's just prepping for deployment! Once in the field, p-cord was truly GI duct tape. We'd use 550 for everything from the best boot laces ever, to replacing guy ropes of a 40ft GRA-4 antenna, and about another 1000 uses inbetween.

    Having established my p-cord credentials, I have to say, this Tough-Grid p-cord takes the cake over anything I ever had available to me during my military days. Everything about this cord is refreshingly tip-top. The nylon used is of high quality, consistent inside and out. The mantle (or sheath) is a nice tight weave, neither too tight nor too loose. The mantle also provides perfect constriction about the kern (or core), spooling nicely, yet remaining pliable for working knots and making weaves. And of the kern, we get 11 strands, three more than 550. This gives us an additional 200lbs of tensile strength above the standard 550, which of course raises our working load along with it. Each strand is actually composed of three twisted sub-strands; this configuration is more desirable since it lends to greater strength, malleability, and durability, all with the same amount of material. Objectively speaking, this is all quite impressive.

    I have found the subjective experience with Tough-Grid to be quite outstanding too. I had concerns about the thickness of this 750 cord, but after having used it for a while now, the concern was all for naught. The thickness difference is rather minimal practically, and I haven't had any issues with threading through for example p-cord beads, lanyard holes, or as shoe laces on several shoes. I do believe this cord compresses to be a bit thicker than standard though, which really would be the only discernable time. This fact worried me about the extra thickness possibly being problematic in crafting. However, if anything, this cord has given me better knots and weaves! I like to really crank-down on my work, and since the compression is just slightly thicker, work comes out looking pleasantly tighter and more robust. I have yet to be unable to craft any of my favorite weaves with this cord, and don't foresee it ever being an issue. I also think the high quality construction of this cord lends to my completed work not having a too stiff feel, even though I do tie them rather tight. The only other thing I would add here, is that tidying up snipped ends will take slightly more heat or more time to "seal". Extra strands equates to extra mass after all, and so either a mini torch or a couple extra seconds against a flame will be necessary to adequately melt loose ends.

    So there it is folks, I know I might sound like a lunatic with how I'm raving on about this p-cord, but it really is that good. I spend some serious time in my projects, and I like knowing I'm using a cord that matches that effort. Also, I give away the vast majority of my work, so I like knowing I'm giving away the best that can be had. Throwing in the completely unexpected and awesome service from Bill and his sons just makes me smile that much bigger! These guys are genuine and sincere, and I feel kind of guilty that I haven't invited them to my birthday party yet. So if you're on the fence at all about getting this p-cord, I'd say drop a couple extra cents and get the best, with the best.

    Hallo, ich war auf der Suche nach einem strapazierfähigem Paracord gewesen. Die "normalen" Paracords, auch mit sechs oder sieben Einzelfäden eignen sich zwar gut als Material zum Herstellen von zum Beispiel Armbändern , aber für mehr Belastung und Haltbarkeit eben nicht.
    Dieses Cord ist von der Habtik her schon deutlich höherwertiger und auch im Querschnitt mit "mehr" Material ausgestattet. Somit eine klare Kaufempfehlung für diejenigen, welche ein wirklich belastbares Paracord suchen
