wtb: paracord

**spidennis** · 12-12-2013, 14:46

I need to buy paracord for a non hammock related project.
Anybody here handle it? Or know of a place?

I did get my Amsteel 7/64 thru dutch with great shipping speed!

So you can see in the photos I need the paracord as whipping.
It's function is to stiffen the Amsteel
but it's also got it's cosmetic component,
it has to look good.
I like this kind of green to match what it's lifting.

Now I have to unwrap this to find out just how much I used.
I have 9 of these handles to make .....

.... and yes,
I had to figure out how to make a splice for this Amsteel via youtube.
It works great!

Supply captain always had pretty good prices... Might look at them...

I've got a spool of some that's a little lighter in shade. You can see it in this video. Let me know if you are interested and how much you need.

Lots of people selling it on ebay as well.

i always find ebay or amazon to be the best place. i just order 300ft (3 x 100ft diff colors) off amazon for about $24 total.

A lot of craft stores stock it now...Michaels, AC Moore, and Hobby Lobby all carry it.

Also, if you go to the craft stores, check their online sites for coupons. I often find 40% to 50% off coupons that I use for paracord.

Warning - paracord is addictive, perhaps more so than hammocking!

checked out supply capt ....
I think the color I want is emerald green?
they didn't have it ...... hummmm .......

on to ebay ..... and beyond .....

Also, I have to come up with a termination at the ends and I'm having trouble coming up with a nice looking way of doing it. suggestions?

edit: dutch really spoiled me on the shipping of the Amsteel, and I'm missing that!
found the Emerald Green at http://shop.vtarmynavy.com/paracord-c24.aspx
but shipping is double what 100' costs, ouch.
