Paracord Knots

Paracord, also known as parachute cord, is a strong but lightweight nylon rope that was originally used as the suspension line of parachutes. Hence the name. It is resistant to rot, abrasion, mildew and UV fading. It dries fast, is smooth and exhibits a somewhat elastic property. The material is known as kermantle rope, meaning it has a core that is surrounded by an outer woven sheath.

Knots are made with paracord as it can be easily weaved, tied into a ball or a smaller structure and can be unraveled quickly in cases of emergency ,more here.
