Versatile, lightweight, and strong, parachute cord is amazingly useful. (via outdoorlife)
If you happen to have some paracord and some waterproof material, you can create a shelter using just a few lashings.Paracord is a thin, strong, braided line that’s useful in dozens of hunting and fishing scenarios, and can mean the difference between life or death in a survival situation.Parachute cord, which is sometimes called paracord or 550 cord because of its 550-pound breaking test, was originally used for parachutes during World War II.
If you find yourself stuck in a survival emergency and you need to acquire food, consider hunting by bow and arrow. It’s easy to build the tools you’ll need to take down small-game animals. You canwith a sharp fixed-blade knife, some paracord, a flexible sapling, a few tree shoots for arrows, and a few feathers. Select a dead, dry hardwood stave for your bow, and pick some shoots or sucker growth for the arrow shafts.
Technically the bola is an impact weapon, but its other great feature is its ability to entangle a target. A lucky strike with this weapon will stun your quarry, but if that doesn’t work, the cords may ensnare it long enough for you to rush in with a blunt object or knife and finish the job.
To make a hard-hitting bola, use an overhand knot or a figure-eight knot to join three to five cords together. Each section of cord should be between 2 and 3 feet long. Next, collect stones for your weights. They should weigh about 6 to 8 ounces each. Round stones are best because they are less likely to cut through the covering. Wrap your stones in leather or wet rawhide. Pierce a few holes in the edges of the rawhide and fasten each cord to a weight.
