Cheap tie up stuff 70kg from Amazon. 100mtrs for 8 quid or there abouts. Cub cord is stronger (270lbs) and again similar price but for 50mtrs on Amazon. Proper 550 I'd say try a local climbing or outdoors shop. If it's strength you're looking for though consider dyneema, amsteel etc. Fantastic stuff
550 a plenty on eBay
I get mine from this company - http://atwoodrope.net/ - on their amazon store (Atwood Rope MFG). Over 20 different colours to choose from.

Thanks all - I just wanted some strong but lighter stuff to tie up my tarp with. I've got 550 on either end, but it's bulky when hanked and seems a bit overkill... I heard on kirtley's podcast that he only uses 2 - 3mm cord for his tarps...
Tying tarps up I use the cheapest I can find and it works totally fine. Have done for years. You don't need a huge amount of strength for that so the generic 70kg stuff is absolutely fine. I just keep a full reel in my bagOriginally Posted by Russ
hello,
I got me a reel of bright orange with silver fleck reflectors throughout the para-cord last year in a trade. I'm going to add this to my Basha this year, as I've made a few zipper pulls for one of my bags & they do reflect light in the dark. A friend made a few zipper pulls for her black waterproof jacket & they look awesome against the black.
