    Do you buy the paracord sleeve on its own or do you buy bulk paracord and just remove the inner strands?

      I buy ParaMax cord (with the core) I only found standard Paracord without core, not the larger ParaMax. Also core-less Paracord seems usually a bit tighter than with a core somehow and that can be an issue with thick cables.

        Thanks for actual interesting content that can be engaged with, love it.
        What do you do with that much unsleeved core?

          Sadly I trash it 😟 I offered it to my wife for craft projects but it’s hard to find a use for hundreds of slippery synthetic white core wires multiplied by the number or strands in the core.

            Yea I was thinking of ways to reuse the cores and couldn’t think of anything, hence the question.
            Without the sleeves it frays a lot.

            Maybe filing for a pillow, idk.

              Yeah. It can’t even be used as candle wick as it’s fire retardant (at least the good ones are, the cheap one burn with a thick smoke.
