this is a basic item everyone should have in their inventory! this perhaps is one of the most versatile tools one can have. please share your opinions, experiences, uses, and sources of 550 cord here.
beware as from what I have researched, there are many knock offs and many vendors who sell them. i f you have a source for the real thing, please share!
I got some in sand color.. looking for some green if anyone has some.. going to wrap the cheek weld on the AK... and the handle of my old machette
also might make a braided sling for the AK

I recommend that everyone should purchase as much as possible. It's one of the cheapest survival items you can buy. It is also one that can save your life.
I personally carry over 100 feet, cut up and wrapped into various length hanks. The 550 cord can be used for everything from building shelters, to creating weapons like spears.
A must have item for every survivalist or prepper.
