Expanded the stub page. It is still short but deservedly so, I think. I took out the reference in the original stub to "ALICE packs" in WW2 since there were no such packs in WW2. -DMorpheus, nov 10 05

Expanded to describe the structure of the cord as well as added alternate name (i.e. paracord). -C.J. 3/6/06

This article should be merged with 'Paracord': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracord

They are the same type of rope but there is different info in both and I don't really know how to merge/etc. If someone would like to do so it would help anyone who doesn't understand that it is 2 seperate names for the same product.

It might also be good to talk about commerical/military cord since some users belive that it is a signficant issue.

Merge/Move/Cleanup

Just for clarity... I moved 550 Cord to Parachute cord (this page) due to the fact that 550 was only one type of Parachute cord. I also changed Paracord to a alt name redirect here. --Dfred 18:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous?

How does Shock cord relate to Parachute cord? Anyone know?... Benryanau (talk) 03:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
