    WTB Paracord

    I'm looking for a 50-foot hank of military spec 550 paracord. Anyone willing to sell any or know of a good place to get some quickly?

    Any local military surplus will have it. Online you can go to Strapworks, Cabela's or Armysuplus world.

    I hear Supply Captain has quality 550. No experience though. A lot of the people who make survival bracelets and such use their 550.

    Yep, use Supply Captain. Great price, fast shipping. Good source for shock cord too.

    Does it have to be Paracord? I have some cord made by a climbing company. It's stiffer and has a 270lb breaking strength. I have four 50' spools left, but they are on the brighter side of the color spectrum. One lime yellow, two rasberry, and one grape.

    This stuff here:

    I get mine at the local surplus store or order off ebay if I want a special color like orange, etc.

    Look on Ebay.
    Multiple sellers with variations to include fluorescent yellow, green and orange.
    Also paracord with reflctive threads woven in and even glow in the dark paracord.
    But to get some quick- Any surplus store should have it.
