It sounds like paracord is good stuff to have around. I see a lot of... I think 514, paracord and in diferent colors too. If I do end up getting a thousand feet, it won't go unused around here. I'm still puzzled by the amount that will be left over after pulling the pleats together. I guess I could wrap it around my waist twice. Guess that's 550 paracord.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Paracord's thin enough and flexible enough (it really is some GREAT STUFF, Homer) that you could coil up the seven feet and slip it into your sporran, maybe even have a little wallet made for it.
I've thought about turning six yards of tartan I've got into a great kilt with a drawstring, and I've NEVER considered using anything but paracord. (aka 550 cord.) Add a couple of rolls of rigger tape/high speed tape/50 MPH tape/duct tape and you could build the Taj Mahal.
When American History is being studied a thousand years from now, we will not be remembered for Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR or Microsoft: we will be remembered for paracord and rigger tape.
