Paracord, reliable UK supplier?

[paulnb57]

I guess all Paracords are not created equal and there are a huge amount of suppliers advertising their wares, can anyone recommend a decent UK mail order supplier please. I will need several colours….

Cheers

Really? I wonder why that is?

It's too late for the OP now, but I'm not so keen on The Bushcraft Store cord lately (not the Mil-C-5040 stuff which only comes in a few colours, but their "US Contractor grade" stuff). I've had quite a few lots that were baggy and flat, making ugly knots. The best stuff I've had recently is from Wild Elk (via Amazon). Quality stuff.

+1 for Wild Elk.

I must admit I have bought a lot on ebane with no issues but the best colours I have are the zombie editions from our friends at HH

I've bought from Bushcraft store and it was good. Also got some coyote brown from HH, so I think both are good. Must admit, I've never heard of Wild Elk.

That's the same as I found a few years back, the main problem was one batch would be OK, next lot baggy and no good. Gave up in the end and now use wildelk.co,uk all the time.

Baggy/slack won't matter if you are using it for some bushcraft outdoors stuff, but when making decorative knots for others it needs to look good too.

I too have given up with paracord from bushcraftstore. Now another happy Wild Elk customer.
