Do we need mil-spec paracord?

[admin]

I’ve been searching for paracord to put into my survival kit that I carry for day-hikes. There’s plenty of ‘commercial grade’ paracord for sale on the internet. Is this stuff going to ‘work’ for most applications you would have in a survival situation (mainly making shelter, but possibly also hauling someone out of a hole, creating snares for game, etc)? If you really needed true mil-spec 550 paracord for this stuff, where would you get it?
