I’ve been buying lots of cheapish rope lately and I want to quit doing that. I’d rather spend a little money on paracord 550, like possibly buy five hundred feet worth. I need better quality rope than what I’ve been getting because some of these tasks I’m using it for require decent rope. Where’s a…

Here’s where I get mine: http://www.adventuresurvivalequipment.com/survival-accessories/survival-parachute-cord.html I go with the 550 Parachute Cord that’s labeled “MIL-C-5040 Type III”.

Hi TMCD, here is a link to material suppliers of different kinds, including paracord. http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=3623.msg20681#msg20681 I personally would not use paracord to tie down ladders.

Well, here’s a site that uses the “H” sometimes, and sometimes not: http://www.bestglide.com/550_cord_info.html Checking my records, I’ve bought from them too! Here’s the solution for the skeptics. Take the time to learn exactly what are the specifications, which are not that complicated. Then, y…

Considering the value of your ladders, and the cost involved if a ladder should leap off your truck, I would invest a few bucks in some good cordage.
