Yep, parachute cord is called 550 cord because it has a 550lb test. I use it for a lot of stuff, but haven't tried it with a bear bag yet. Remember to get the real stuff, not the many cheap knock-offs. Look for 7 nylon strands in the middle. You can find it at MANY if not all Army surplus stores. I looked for a long time to find a certain color (Foliage Green) and found some online. Then I went to a CAL ranch store and found the exact color there. Go figure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
