Seven strands,
one spark

The Deluxe Survival Laces are made of military grade 550 paracord. The core of the lace contains the standard seven strands of nylon, a 1 inch ferro rod, and one strand of tinder.

The tinder and rod are accessible by first removing the metal aglet. The tinder strand is colored red, waterproof, and is extremely flammable. Once the tinder is removed from the lace, it can be teased by a knife or sharp edge, giving it more volume and making it more flammable. The additional strands are good for building shelter, repairing gear, building a weapon or trap, bandaging a wound, catching game, etc. If you have had any experience with paracord you will know the list of possibilities is endless.

Product features:
- 550 Paracord
- Tinder (entire length of each lace)
- 1” Ferro rod
