Cheap tie up stuff 70kg from Amazon. 100mtrs for 8 quid or there abouts. Cub cord is stronger (270lbs) and again similar price but for 50mtrs on Amazon. Proper 550 I'd say try a local climbing or outdoors shop. If it's strength you're looking for though consider dyneema, amsteel etc. Fantastic stuff

550 a plenty on eBay

I get mine from this company - http://atwoodrope.net/ - on their amazon store (Atwood Rope MFG). Over 20 different colours to choose from :D.

Thanks all - I just wanted some strong but lighter stuff to tie up my tarp with. I've got 550 on either end, but it's bulky when hanked and seems a bit overkill... I heard on kirtley's podcast that he only uses 2 - 3mm cord for his tarps...

Tying tarps up I use the cheapest I can find and it works totally fine. Have done for years. You don't need a huge amount of strength for that so the generic 70kg stuff is absolutely fine. I just keep a full reel in my bag

hello,
I got me a reel of bright orange with silver fleck reflectors throughout the para-cord last year in a trade. I'm going to add this to my Basha this year, as I've made a few zipper pulls for one of my bags & they do reflect light in the dark. A friend made a few zipper pulls for her black waterproof jacket & they look awesome against the black.

Hi Russ and welome.

A teeny bit :off-topic: I know, but a few years ago I bought one of these ---> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parachute-Canopy-With-Lines-/111933644551 (parachute) with lines. Last year I saw the same amount of paracord in a surplus shop for the same price as the 'chute! :shocked:
