550 cord holds... 550 lbs... barely.
You can use it for ANYTHING! Shoe Laces, tent line, converting your poncho into a hooch you can think of what you need rope or string for... 550 cord. It is an essential for use in the field. You can even take the internal cords out and use them for low weight jobs. You just have to remember to burn the ends when you cut it. Only thing you can't do with that stuff is rappel.

Word of caution, strip the internal cords from the outer sheath if your attaching anything to your body with it, shoelaces, knife sheaths, etc.

I don't gut mine
Well about half and half.
Buddy of mine from Force taught me that I should leave the guts in the 550 cord in my boots. If one ends up in a survival situation the guts can be used for fising line or animal snares. He's now the company Gunny for 2nd Force so I guess he knows what he's talking about. There's other places I use it ungutted that I see alot of guys using gutted. If I need something to break away, like my ID card holder, I put in a short loop of dog tag chain. I refuse to be a towed jumper.

You should be able to get it at an Army Navy store. It's either called 55- Cord, Parachute Cord, or Para Cord.
