No problem 550 paracord is a staple in the military used for everything. Called five fifty cord. 550 means whole cord carries 550lbs and each internal strand holds 50lb by its self. It is common for people to pull the inner cords and make steering wheel wraps, key chains or bracelets etc.. with the outer piping cord. Comes in all types of colors. Cut and melt the ends with a lighter. Great stuff. Thin, super strong and versatile.

Marine surplus stores always have them. Lowes and Home depot do too. Basically a military grade parachute cord. But you can buy and use for anything.

i always have some on the boat and in my work shop.

They also make a smaller 330 cord.
