Great product!

Item arrived as advertised, will come in handy

Pretty cool stuff, and a great price. Only complaint is that it doesn't seem to have a safe load weight listed on the package anywhere. It just says 34;not for climbing34;. Otherwise, this is a great deal if you use cordage. It's multi use and not anymore expensive than regular cordage. Can use it as shoelace, to attach things to your backpack, whatever. Tested out the fire starting capabilities of it and it seems pretty good. You have to play around with it a bit to see what suits your needs. Just be aware that the red tinder cord is covered in wax. You don't have to scrape it off to use it, but it can help. The wax makes it so the tinder cord is usable even if the cord gets soaked in water. If the cord gets wet you can simply scrape off the wax with a knife or the bottom of a lighter and it still flames up. I tested this and it works. That guy in the reviews who couldn't light it with a blow torch? I don't know what he's talking about. I lit this with a regular lighter in numerous conditions: the tinder cord pulled apart and stripped of wax, the tinder cord intact but separated from the paracord, the tinder cord still embedded within the paracord but peeking out a bit. It lit pretty easily with a regular lighter in all of these conditions. I still need to try using it to start a full camp fire out in the field. Will update when I do.
