WAIT!!! Does FIRE Starting Paracord Work

Ойын-сауық

#camping #outdoors #paracord
nothing but wet tinder and need to get a fire going. Reach for some fire starting paracord. It comes with an extra strand inside infused with wax making an easily ignitable tinder. 550 paracarod is a staple in any bushcraft or survival kit take it one step further and carry the firestarting cordage. Would be an excellent addition to any pack for hiking, camping, or a bug out bag. It's readily available and most outdoor stores.

    Thats great stuff. Yours has a fatty fire cord, mine is thinner in survival cord but it has sewing thread, fishing line also. Either are awesome to have.

    Sooo, you have to cut up your string everytime you want to start a fire? Wouldnt it be more sensible to bring a length of waxed string (or waxed paper or cloth for that matter) and a coil of regular old Paracord?

    I bought that same type of rope for years, I’ve never had an issue.. I keep 30 feet for a quick deploy ridge line, 4 10 foot sections for random camp tools/tie downs, a 25 foot section for a backup section, and a 5 foot section I can use for tinder if I can’t find anything dry enough. That’s how I break down 2 50 foot sections of it for my pack since it weighs nothing..

    ​@@Damndamn01 I second what this man says. Use it primarily as cordage. If you really want to start a fire use 2 inches or so, you don't need much. Remember Paracord is string that multiplies... If you need 16 feet, divide 16 by 7 and you get a little over 2~ So cut about a 27in strand (yes I used rounding). Take the cordage apart and attach the pieces end to end.
