Love this stuff! Buy some every gun show.
Between the usual usages, anyone have any out of the ordinary usages? I know one guy who stated "if yer ego can take the ribbin', you can use it to knit, or crochet items that are unbelievably strong".
That's the oddest one so far.

Good stuff for back packing...
also made dog leashes out of it using an eight strand braid, now that's strong too!

Still working out the kinks, but I know duct tape and paracord can fix anything, so I'm working on a functional duct-cord heart transplant. FDA is gonna be a bitch though.

Do a Google of "Macrame".
I learned it as "square knotting".
I suspect that any macrame made of 550 paracord will survive Armageddon.
Also Google "sennit" and click on images.
My father taught me knotting before my teens, including basic knitting. I ended teaching my first wife to knit.

Lots of people like to knit.
Yep, that's R. Lee Ermy knitting. Just remember, he knows at least 10 ways to kill you with the knitting needles and yarn alone.

I used it as a safety line rope by doubling it over and knotting the cords together. That said it was all I had I would hate to test it.
