Got myself an Atwood rope mfg. ARM challenge box. Took a few days to pull out and neatly coil up all the 550 lb. paracord. Still working on the half strength tactical cord. I used some tactical cord and paracord to make a hammock that will double as a fishing/animal trapping net for emergencies. Came out to around 7 feet long and 3.5 feet wide. Tactical cord was spaced 3 inches apart with 50 strands across the 7 foot length. 550 lb cord was used to frame the edges and for tieouts (2 strands of 550 cord coming out of each corner). It should be plenty strong for any application. Took 400 feet of tactical cord and 100 feet of paracord to complete it. I alternated using green and brown strands for a more camouflaged look. Had to do something productive to keep from being bored during the lockdown. I have plenty of cord left for more projects if this lockdown keeps going.
