contain approximately 7 to 8 feet of paracord depending on wrist size

History of Paracord
Despite the historic association of paracord with Airborne
units, virtually all US units have access to the cord. It is used in
almost any situation where light cordage is needed. Typical uses include
attaching equipment to harnesses, as dummy cords to avoid losing small or important items, tying rucksacks to vehicle racks, securing camouflage
nets to trees or vehicles, and so forth. When threaded with beads,
paracord may be used as a pace counter to estimate ground covered by
foot. The yarns of the core (commonly referred to as "the guts") can also be removed when finer string is needed, for instance as sewing thread to repair gear or fishing line in a survival
situation. The nylon sheath is often used alone, the yarn in the core
removed, when a thinner or less elastic cord is needed. Ends of the cord
are almost always melted and crimped to prevent fraying.
In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used to fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. 550 Cord is used by many US military members as a bracelet signifying deployment to the Central Command Area of Responsibility, typically countries in the Middle East.
It is also worn in remembrance of POW/MIA service members during
National conflict. It is fashioned by using three equal lengths of cord
and weaving them together to make a bracelet.
