Crazy Paracord.

[Moab]

So we bought that 1000lb Paracord on sale some time ago. Really good stuff. But limited colors. I found some on Walmart from Paracord Planet. With better colors. I think both said it was 4mm and 12 core.

But man! 

This stuff is ridiculously thick! What the hell am I going to use this for?!

Make a thick paracord rifle sling ?

It's so thick it won't fit thru the paracord sling adapters. The ones I made and the ones available online. 

I haven't cut it open. But it's obviously knock off. I question it's 1000lb weight rating.

I finally ordered some mule tape to try out.  It's the 1/4-inch variety, which is supposedly specc'd for 1250lbs.  I've heard that it doesn't always hold knots very well as it's so slippery.  But I found some on sale to try out.  Figured that 500ft for $18, it's worth a shot.

Don't think I've got any of the heavy-duty paracord though.  That's quite the chonky cord!  Really it's more of rope at that point I think!

Reminds me of some of the paracord I've picked up at Walmart in the hardware section.

I usually end up taking out a couple of the inner strings and seeing if that makes it a bit less stiff. Sometimes it does, but other times it doesn't make a difference.

I'll use it for something. It's just ridiculously huge. I would not consider it Paracord.

Mule tape is awesome. I bought about 100ft of the 2500lb stuff several years ago. It's in my vehicle bag.

I have a roll of that thick stuff in neon green.  It makes good cat toys and works very well for lashing gear down on a roof rack.  It holds knots well and is easier to untie when you want to.

Cat toys. Good idea!
