Parachute cord is .05 cents a foot.

I could hog tie a herd of goats.

Spot;

You pay for it? We had a ton of it follow us home one day. Something to do with all the military activity around here.

Parachute chord is commonly referred to as "550 chord," because as suspension line, it can hold 550 pounds. I am not sure how many risers are on a parachute, but the count is over 20. Times that by 550 and you'll see the safety factor for a 200 pound man..............Kingpin
