The UST Paracord 550 is a compact, versatile 30-foot length of 550-rated paracord that belongs in every pack—whether you're car camping, backpacking, hunting, or prepping for wilderness survival situations. Made from 100% nylon with a proven 550-pound break strength rating, this black cord is wrapped tight for easy carry and includes a carabiner attachment, so you can clip it to a pack loop or belt without extra weight or bulk.
What makes 550 paracord such a stalwart of outdoor gear is its multi-use design. Rig a tarp shelter, lash gear to a pack frame, secure loads in the truck bed, or fashion field-expedient gear like handle wraps, zipper pulls, and gear lanyards. In a pinch, you can unravel the inner core threads to create fishing line, sewing thread, or repair cordage. On camp trips it's a straightforward way to hang food or secure tent guylines; on longer expeditions it becomes genuine survival insurance—lightweight, affordable, and genuinely useful when equipment fails or plans change.
This isn't climbing-rated gear, and it's not designed to replace professional rigging equipment. What it is: a practical, packable solution for the unpredictable demands of time in the field. A 30-foot length gives you meaningful working room without the weight of a full 100-foot spool, making it ideal for day packs, truck kits, and the bottom of a hunting pack.
| Length | 30 feet |
| Material | 100% nylon |
| Break Strength Rating | 550 pounds |
| Color | Black |
| Included Attachment | Carabiner |
No. This paracord is not rated or certified for climbing, rappelling, or life-safety applications. It's designed for camp utility, shelter rigging, gear lashing, and survival use—not for applications where rope failure could cause injury.
The core threads can be separated and used as fishing line, emergency sewing thread, or improvised binding cordage. This makes the cord even more versatile for extended wilderness trips or survival situations where every bit of material matters.
Yes. A carabiner is included and already attached, so you can clip the coiled cord directly to your pack, belt loop, or gear without needing separate hardware.
Thirty feet is a practical middle ground—enough to rig a tarp shelter, hang food, secure gear, or fashion multiple smaller items, without the bulk of a full 100-foot spool. If you need more length for large camp setups, consider stocking multiple lengths or a larger spool at base camp.
