Overview
The PARA1V supplies one metre of 4 mm paracord in green. This length lends itself to quick work and last-minute needs: a bracelet braided in the evening, a dog collar to finish, a lanyard to fit, a lace to replace, a strap to re-attach. Green has the particular quality of vanishing into leafy surroundings; run along a hedge or a trunk, the cord stops being visible and the whole arrangement with it.
From the outdoors to the garden
A metre of green cord often ends up away from the pack: it is the length used to tie a young shrub to its stake, guide a stem, close a net, hold a pot in place. Parachute cord takes those outdoor jobs better than ordinary string, and the leafy shade makes the tie almost invisible between two branches. The rest of a day out suits it just as well: steadying a peg, tensioning a tarp over a short span, mending a fastening.
Technical specifications
Paracord, parachute cord by origin, measuring 4 mm in diameter, in green, sold as a one-metre cord. Four millimetres remains the reference gauge for bracelet braiding and for the cordage slipped into a survival kit; it accepts the beads and buckles designed for paracord. Length supplied: one metre, delivered in a single continuous piece.
Care
Soil and sap come away with clean water; work at sticky patches with a fingernail rather than a product. Full air drying always comes before storage, especially when the cord has been used outside. Kept out of the sun, the green holds its depth and goes on blending into the vegetation. Lastly, before knotting the strand onto anything that will pull, run it quickly between your fingers.
