Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an apparatus for utility paracord. More so, the present invention relates to a multipurpose utility paracord.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are increasingly high requirements for the quality of life. Survivalists and outdoor adventurers make conscious efforts to equip themselves with what they will need to survive in the wild. Some problems they will encounter are easy to expect, others will be surprises and therefore unwelcomed challenges, especially if they're not equipped to deal with the issues. Paracord was made possible through the invention of nylon in 1935 by Wallace Hume Carothers for DuPont. The core of 550 paracord is usually made up of 7 strands, which are, in turn, made up of three smaller strands each. Paracord is a must have for any survival kit or bug out bag. Also known as parachute cord or 550 cord, it can be used for countless survival techniques.
There are several types of paracord available in the market. Many of these paracords are useful for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Adventure enthusiasts use these paracords as basic camping and outdoor adventure toolkit. Many of these paracords can be used as a fishing line. Typically, paracords use monofilament for application in fishing lines. Such paracords suffer from several disadvantages, when used for fishing applications, such as low strength to size ratio, causing slower fall speed and lesser casting distance. In addition, many of these utility paracord have high stretch leading to less feel of bites of fish, and so forth. Many utility paracord sink in the water, limiting their usefulness. Paracords that use metal wire have memory of their own and are difficult to handle. Most of the monofilament or fluorocarbon based paracords deteriorate rather quickly, especially when exposed to salt-water environment.
Therefore a need exists for a novel assembly which improves the arrangements in similar field. The invention focuses on providing a utility paracord that has multiple uses and exceed MIL-STD-C-5040H. The utility paracord is durable and has long life. It further allows a utility paracord that is not be operated in salt-water environment without compromising its life.
