The Rothco Nylon Paracord 550lb 1000 Foot Spool puts a full camp supply of cord on one reel, so every task at camp draws from the same stock. Cut what the task needs and the rest stays wound and ready for the next job.

The cord is 550lb tested with a 7-strand core inside a 5/32 inch, 100% nylon cord, made in the USA by a U.S. contractor. Choose from six colors to match your kit or stand out at camp.

Why it works:

  • One supply for many tasks: Stocking in bulk means you are not hunting for scraps when a job comes up, with 1000 feet of cord for various applications and situations.
  • Strength you can count on: A 7-strand core gives the cord its reliable strength, and the cord is 550lb tested.
  • Colors to match your kit: Six colors are offered: Black, Coyote Brown, Olive Drab, Red, Safety Orange and Woodland Camo, all in 5/32 inch diameter.
  • Built for hard use: Crafted from 100% nylon for durability and resilience in harsh environments.
  • Made in the USA: Produced domestically by a U.S. contractor.

Who it's built for:

For campers who want a bulk supply of cord on hand for camp tasks and emergency situations. It is trusted by active-duty personnel as well.
