- Exclusive Patented Paracord - Originally designed at the request of Special Forces in Afghanistan, our SurvivorCord is a 620 LB tensile strength paracord that integrates 3 life-saving survival strands into TITAN's trusted MIL-STYLE 550 Paracord. Available only from TITAN Survival, SurvivorCord is protected by U.S. Patents 9,528,204 & 9,926,652. There simply isn't a better paracord available.
- Mono Fishing Line - Includes a single transparent, 25 lb. test, high strength mono-filament fishing line that can be used when critically needed food is just yards away. This filament can also be melted and used to patch holes or used to bind tools together.
- Waxed Jute Fire-Starter - Our proprietary, waterproof, twisted jute fiber strand is designed to quickly start fires in an emergency. This is the best fire-starting strand on the market. Even in a downpour, a couple sparks from your favorite SurvivorSteel or ferro-rod, and you'll have an instant fire.
- Multi-Purpose Wire - Our proprietary 30 AWG metallic alloy is strong, conductive, and non-magnetic. Perfect for small snares, HAM Radio antennae, camp-fire food wraps, and any other ingenious survival ideas that you can think up.
- The Only Paracord You'll Ever Need – Trusted by outdoor aficionados and military units worldwide, SurvivorCord is designed to replace any and all parachute cord in your backpack, vehicles, or emergency kits.

The length of it is somewhat deceptive because it's folded in half. It's made of TITAN Survivorcord of the dragonscale variety and the total length is probably around 20 inches when unfolded, including the length of the two Metolius FS mini carabiners. I used the trilobite weave, and I believe it took about 30 feet of cord to make. I'm unsure because I don't know the length of the original hank I used.
I used to have a different one, but I made some design changes on this one that I feel are more effective when using a good, strong weight-rated material like 550 paracord.
Originally I wove around my keyring on one of the ends. This made adding and removing things from my keys somewhat difficult, so I scrapped that idea and just added a second carabiner. I also changed the type of carabiner I used. Originally I had a Nite-Ize one you can get at any Wal-Mart. They're only rated to hold 75 pounds so it seemed relatively pointless to have it attached to such a strong material and not be able to use it in that way, which is why I switched to the aforementioned Metolius.
One other thing I thought of now that I'm using two carabiners: I made it so they're horizontally symmetrical instead of congruent when I fold the lanyard and attach both carabiners to my keys. This idea was inspired by the S-biner, because when you slide a keyring through both clips of the S-biner it makes it impossible to accidentally open the gate and have them slide out. Basically, now my keys are double locked and I don't have to worry about them falling out if I somehow put pressure on one of the gates.
Lastly, instead of burning the tips into the back of the lanyard like I did last time, I decided to tie them into a knot and then burn them into the knot so as to not compromise the strength of the main body.
Am I ever going to need to climb with this? Probably not. But it's nice to have something pretty seriously strong if ever needed. This thing is like a portable ladder rung. I might add some ranger bands just to keep the fold compact, maybe also add some gizmos to the ranger bands on the outside, like a compass or something. I will say that it's a bit bulky but it still fits in my pocket just fine.
Since we all have paracord, I like the Titan SurvivorCord. Paracord + Fishing Line + Snare Wire + Tinder. This is what's in my get home bag. I use standard 550 Paracord for everything else since it's cheaper.
As for snares, just practice with electrical wires since they're cheap, and you can pull them out of old cables at home. So the 30 gauge on the survivorcord is a little thinner than I'd like, but get like 24 gauge copper, and remember to set as many traps as you can. People say 20-30 traps. I've played with 18 gauge, it's ok too, a little too thick and heavy in my opinion.
