My love affair with paracord continues. Not only is it strong and useful for a myriad of tasks, it is colorful and fun to work with while making bracelets, key fobs, belts and other goodies. I am not the only one that feels this way. Simply enter the term “paracord” into a search engine and you will be presented with thousands of articles covering everything from what it is, how it is used, where to buy it, and more. It seems like everyone has a stake in the paracord love-fest with preppers leading the pack!
What Exactly is Paracord?
Here at Backdoor Survival, I first wrote about paracord in 2012. I described it this way:

A lot of people are under the misconception that a survival paracord bracelet is only for military personnel. While it’s true that a lot of military personnel use one because of its versatility in emergency situations, you have to know that there are also a lot of civilians that wear one. The question is – should you wear one as well?
