not sure, i didn't think to measure it after i took the weight off, as i was headed out the door for a hike, the piece i used was about 25' total and now i'm not for sure which end i used
nothing wrong with using it as long as you know your gonna get some stretch......it is after all about getting out and enjoying the woods, and i would do it using paracord too way before i would ever stay home :)
