As a thoroughly non-prepper person in the military who has been through a number of disasters, I definitely go through paracord enough to consider it a staple. It's just handy to have some "rope" (1), and paracord is decent at holding a knot but doesn't take up as much space as "rope" .
(1) I'm in the Navy; I can go on for hours about "rope". I'm using "rope" as a massive placeholder.

- kerkeslager 7y agoI'm curious what you're actually using paracord for? Is it primarily nautical uses? Obviously rope is super useful for sailing and rock climbing, but as I said previously, I've only ever needed cord for hanging bear bags when hiking.
