So, lot of us include paracord as part of our EDC and some of us even go so far as to make paracord its own hobby quite separate from our EDC lifestyle. For almost as long as there have been parachutes there has been paracord bracelets.
Some of us have been tying for a long time.
But, last fall, I noticed that the A. C. Moore craft store was selling paracord products and 550 cord. That’s a pretty clear indication that it is going mainstream, don’t you think? I thought so.
Today, I accompanied my wife to Wally World for some last minute Easter necessities and as is my MO, I wandered away when she wasn’t looking. Hehehehee!
And what should I find in the sporting goods department? You guessed it. Paracord bracelets. Looks like our EDC talisman will soon be worn by the masses. Full born pop culture phenomenon in the making folks. Game over, man! GAME OVER!
I blame Stormdrane, JackTheClipper, and J.D. for this. The coolness has been deluded. I guess we will just have wait for the hipsters and all the rest to move on before paracord will be the EDC icon it once was.
What will they co-opt from us next?
