Olive Green Paracord

The Olive Green Paracord, supplied by J3Seven, is a strong, versatile utility cord designed for field, camping and emergency use. Compact on the reel yet extremely tough in service, it is ideal for tying down loads, rigging shelters, repairing gear and handling countless improvised tasks in the bush or on deployment.

With a protective outer sheath and braided inner core that can be repurposed as fishing line or sewing thread, this paracord is a practical addition to any Defence, law enforcement, remote work or outdoor kit.

Why Teams Choose Olive Green Paracord

Strong, multi‑purpose cord: With an approximate breaking strain of 50 kg, this paracord is suitable for general tie‑down, lashing and light hauling tasks around camp, vehicles and worksites.

Durable outer sheath: The protective outer layer is resistant to abrasion and general wear, helping the cord stand up to repeated field use and rough surfaces.

Braided inner core for fine tasks: The inner strands can be separated and used as strong fishing line or sewing thread, giving you extra options for repairs and survival tasks.

Compact and easy to carry: Fifteen metres of cord packs into a small, manageable bundle that fits easily into packs, vehicle kits, grab bags and tool rolls.

Olive green for low profile: The subdued colour blends well with uniforms and natural backgrounds, making it ideal for tactical, bush and remote work environments.

Everyday utility and emergency backup: Equally useful for routine camp jobs and as a backup resource in emergency situations where strong cordage is essential.
