    Any one know of any good sources for colored paracord? Where are people getting all the cool colors to make bracelets out of?

    Supply captain is expensive and doesn't have the colors I want.

    The best I've found is eBay- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    EDIT:
    Cheaper with 12 colors of 550 and lots of colors of 450. Cheapest shipping option is $11.

    I've purchased stuff from Vermont Army Navy in the past. They are a fast and reliable in there shipping. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to buy from them again.

    Para-cord.com has a great variety of colors in a true Mil-spec para-cord. A lot of the cheap alternatives are not Mil-spec and have too few or underrated inner strands (not that that matters much if you're just using it for bracelets). They've got both 550 and 650 cord.

    I might be missing it, but para-cord.com is the only place to get reflective tracer.

    I like it when my headlamp tells me where those lines are.

    paracord suppliers

    I've purchased and have seen good comments on the paracord sold by Cheaper Than Dirt. It's has the 7 inner strands, and a good price, 1000 feet for $39.97, but not too many color choices. Don't think it's mil rated, but suppose to be made by a mil spec'ed manufacturer.
