Parachute cord, white is now universally know as paracord, is a lightweight nylon rope originally used by paratroopers during World War II. It is now employed as a general-purpose utility cord by military personnel and civilians alike. Paracord is an ideal material for making whips due to its durability and flexibility. Hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts have made 'survival bracelets' from paracord, which are meant to be unravelled when needed to secure cargo, lash together poles, and fix broken straps and laces.
