What is "parachute cord"?

Parachute cord, also known as paracord, is a strong, durable nylon rope originally designed for use in parachute suspension lines. It typically consists of a braided outer sheath with several inner strands. Paracord is valued for its strength, flexibility, and lightweight properties, making it useful for a variety of applications beyond parachuting. It is commonly used in outdoor activities, survival gear, crafting, and repairs. The cord can be unraveled to provide several strands for emergency use or to create items like bracelets, belts, and lanyards.
