It's the real deal. The good stuff.

For the survivalist, camper, even your average joe-550 cord is a must have. Having a strong form of cordage can prove handy in many scenarios. This is the real 550 cord, 7 strands and all that jazz. I'm looking forward to going camping and using it in whenever I can.

Highly recommended

Works, holds my weight

I'll preface this by saying that I have not had a lot of reason to use this much rope, but it was much cheaper to buy a spool instead of 50' lengths and the experts say that rope is a necessary part of a camping kit :D .. OK that said, this rope is strong enough for what my needs which are markedly more pedestrian than surviving in the wilderness with a toothpick and a half-eaten pack of Mentos.

So what have I used it for:
1) Zipper pulls. Yup, works fine. I consulted a book of knots and made a fancier pull than my normal square knotted loop. Looks purty.

2) Wrapped the handle of a Cold Steel machete that had seen a bit too much abuse. It made it quite comfortable and yup, looks purty.

3) Boot laces. It's actually looks to be exactly the same sort of cordage on my boots.

4) Lastly, just for giggles, I took a 15' length and looped it over a tree. I made two loops on the end with figure-eight knots (I think that's what it was called) and swung around for a bit. Wheee. Held my weight without breaking (I'm around 200lbs).

Cons:
None really, except that when you cut this rope you should use a lighter to singe the ends or the outside covering tends to pull back. Or you could just knot the end. I gave it four stars because the shipping costs are half of what the item costs so not as good a deal as it could be if free shipping were available.

Great cord!

What can be said? It's what you'd expect out of a 550 cord. Great quality, long length in the spool and neatly wraped for use. Spool measures about 8 inches by 3 1/2 inches.

Product is awesome, seller is... eh :/

I don't think I have to write about the merits of this product. It's tough as nails, cheap enough, and has many useful applications. I keep it around for key fobs, zipper pulls, tying down tarps, making wrap handles for tools, etc.

The Sportsman's Guide, on the other hand, told me this product was out of stock and kept me waiting for over a month. Also, this is not the best price for this product, as you can get the same Gladding Braid product from campingsurvival at $3.30 for 100 feet.
