  • is this emptied para cord? as in the white inner cord has been removed?

  • @PCRedman No sir. Although you can remove the inner strands - you remove much of the strength. I leave it in.

  • wil twine string work

  • @survivalgun No sir - too weak. But Jute twine is AWESOME for a tinder bundle.

  • dos willow work

  • @cozz33 Yes, certain types of willow work. Pay attention to the 'finger nail test' If your finger nail makes a nice indentation (not crushes it - too soft - or no indentation - too hard) it should be good wood.
