7.6metres (25 feet) of 550 FireCord gives you the ability to always be prepared to make fire in any emergency situation, perfect for everyday carry (EDC)!

550 FireCord is the next evolution in outdoor gear preparedness. 550 parachute cord or "paracord” has been the standard go-to for most cordage needs as it has tons of utility. From zipper pulls and handles to key chains, bracelets and lanyards and as simply as lashing. Now, imagine if you could also use your paracord as fire tinder...enter 550 FireCord, the fire preparedness solution that will ensure you are Always Prepared!

Now, imagine if you could also use your paracord as fire tinder...enter 550 FireCord, the fire preparedness solution that will ensure you are Always Prepared!

Fire is paramount to survival and being able to create fire is crucial. People have a tendency to overestimate their ability to create fire under adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, cold, windy locations or darkness. Humidity, time of year, and altitude are also conditions to consider as well. Likewise, material selection is a key prerequisite to successfully building a sustainable fire. Even then there is no guarantee it can be accomplished in a survival situation.

The most vital component of fire is its ability to provide heat to dry wet clothes and to regulate the body’s core temperature as maintaining body temperature is vital for survival. The most common cause of death in the wild is hypothermia. Even in desert scenarios, freezing night temperatures have been known to claim lives.

Aside from the above mentioned physical aspect, fire can offer mental comfort as the light and smoke can be used for signaling rescue and it can be used as a predator and insect deterrent.

Fire will also contribute greatly to food and water preparation. The heat will kill the majority of parasites and bacteria when cooking game, fish, insects and wild edibles. The smoke will dry and preserve food for later. Having a hot meal can also boost the mental state giving you a psychological edge.

550 FireCord is also WATERPROOF!

Simply deploy your 550 FireCord to meet all of your parachute cord needs. When you need the fire tinder, remove the inner strands, light just like any fire tinder and build your fire. After the inner strands are used, the outer shell can be reused like before, for lanyards, keychains, zipper pulls, or emergency lashing.

    Top marks for HH. Zero for firecord.

    Posted by Jon Nugent on 31st Jan 2021

    It works. As in, it helps start fires. But I was surprised how much inner cord this took, even with dry tinder. And it inevitably leaves a mess, with strands that are a risk to wildlife if not removed and binned. Plus the stuff reeks, as you would expect. Even in a true survival situation - when the ability to light a fire is a matter of life and death - there are far better and more reliable ways to prepare. Outside those situations, firecord is just a gimmick - an inherently messy and wasteful gimmick. So there's really no point. Stick to plain paracord. No reflection of course on HH, who remain a top notch company.

    For ignorants like me - split up red strands well with your knife before using firesteel !
