Isn't some of that a little far-fetched? Let's delve deeper into the uses of paracord. We will periodically be coming out with articles such as these that fact-check people's claims about the many uses of paracord. It should be understood that by "paracord" we usually mean paracord with a lb. We will, however, introduce you some alternatives. While paracord is an extremely useful and versatile tool, it does have its limitations, and we're going to find them!
Some see the lb. The truth is: a falling person weights a whole lot more than a person standing on the ground. The recommended strength rating for a climbing rope is 10 to 15 times the weight of the climber.
This means that paracord falls far short of the requirements of a good climbing rope. This feature is useful in many circumstances, but not in fall protection for climbing.
LESSON: Standard paracord, popular among doomsday preppers and survival bracelet manufacturers, has a breaking strength of just pounds. Any knot in any cord will reduce its strength. The crew above is cutting it a bit close. The most popular anchor materials that climbers use are 8mm nylon accessory cord and sewn nylon or Dyneema slings. The accessory cord has a breaking strength of about 15kN, and a sewn sling will be around 20 kN.
One kilonewton is roughly equivalent to pounds of force. Your rappel line is going to end up rubbing against some rock pretty much no matter what you do.
Static and dynamic climbing and rappelling lines are made to take this, at least to some extent. Your parachute cord is not. And the suddenly the rope goes slack from above you. Climbing and rappelling ropes have organizations dedicated to their certification, such as the UIAA. Not only do they have rigorous tests for both the strength and consistency of manufacture of a rope, but they make this easy to check by looking at the rope for a UIAA label, or at least giving the manufacturer a quick google.
Even if you are using your parachute cord appropriately, be careful of this one! It would really suck to be counting on normal strength parachute cord to pitch your tarp just to have it break in the wind, leaving you with no shelter.
If you made the same mistake on a rappel, there would be no need to worry about it again. In general adventure sports? Use it to pitch your tarp shelter. Use it to repair your clothes. Use it to start a fire.
