SurvivorCord | REFLECTIVE-ORANGE

SurvivorCord and WarriorCord are both MIL-SPEC paracord products sold by TITAN Survival, with the difference being the construction of the cord. While WarriorCord is slightly more pliable than SurvivorCord, both are used quite often for premium paracord crafts.

TITAN WARRIORCORD

WarriorCord is our standard MIL-SPEC 550 paracord, that meets or exceeds the government's legacy MIL-C-5040-H, Type III parachute cord specifications. We exceed MIL-C-5040-H Type III Specs by using stronger Nylon than required, we pre-shrink for longer than required, and we offer more colors than called out in the specs.

WARRIORCORD SPECS:

Exceeds MIL-SPEC Paracord Standards

Core: 7 Individual 3-Ply 100% Nylon Braids

Sheath: 34 Kernmantle Braided 100% Nylon Strands

Tensile Strength of > 620 lbs.

Preshrunk to Minimize Post-Purchase Shrinkage

Mildew / UV Resistant

Light / Heat Resistant

Color Fast / Resists Fading

Continuous Cordage / No Splices

TITAN SURVIVORCORD

SurvivorCord is our patented MIL-SPEC 550 paracord that begins life as WarriorCord, but then we add three extra potentially life-saving threads to the paracord core, and then reinforce the sheath to be able to handle those increased threads. So SurvivorCord is basically:

WarriorCord + Fishing Line + Snare Wire + Waterproof Fire Tinder

SURVIVORCORD SPECS:

Sheath: 36 Kernmantle Braided 100% Nylon Strands

Our original patented SurvivorCord was created for a former colleague of mine Operating in Afghanistan in 2013, and then we later released it to the public in 2014 after our patent was filed. Over time though, one of the most requested features from the Bushcraft and Survival Skills communities was to replace the multi-purpose Brass utility wire with something less rigid like Kevlar. Additionally, we had a lot of requests for both braided fishing line and increased tensile strength. So in 2019, we released SurvivorCord XT (Extreme) to help satisfy those needs/requests.

The specific differences between our original SurvivorCord and newest SurvivorCord XT cords are below:

ORIGINAL SURVIVORCORD(Launched in 2013)

- Based off of MIL-SPEC, TYPE III, 550 Paracord
- We then add 3 Survival Strands to the core:
> Proprietary Waxed Jute Fire Tinder

> 25 LB Clear Mono-Filament Fishing Line

> 30 AWG, 12LB Multi-purpose Brass Wire

- Tensile Strength: AVG 620 LBS

- Protected by U.S. Patents: 9,528,204 (Paracord + Waxed Jute + Fishing Line) & 9,926,652 (Paracord + Wire)

SURVIVORCORD XT (Launched in 2019)

- Based off of MIL-SPEC, TYPE IV, 750 Paracord

- We then add 3 Survival Strands to the core:

> Proprietary Waxed Jute Fire Tinder

> 25 LB Braided Green Fishing Line

> 110 LB Multi-purpose Kevlar Strand

- Tensile Strength: AVG 1,026 LBS

- Protected by U.S. Patent: 9,528,204 (Paracord + Waxed Jute + Fishing Line)

Black Steel SurvivorCord takes our popular SurvivorCord to the next level by replacing the 30 AWG Brass Snare Wire with a 30 AWG Stainless Steel Snare Wire, effectively doubling the strength of the wire in the same package.

Other than that, there is no functional difference.

Almost all of TITAN's paracord products contain an internal core braid of two white strands and one red strand. This candy-cane striped braid is NOT a fire starter strand, or a fuse, but rather our unique Manufacturer's Marker ID. Each of these strands is 100% Nylon and exceeds MIL-SPEC standards for strength and durability. The only exceptions to this rule are light colors like WHITE and YELLOW paracords, in which we replace the red with white so that the red doesn't show through the sheath.

We have found that most of the companies trying to sell fake versions of our patented SurvivorCord forget to use this red strand, and so we can detect fakes easily when we see them. We also have a few other unique measures incorporated into our cordage, but the Manufacturer’s ID strand is the easiest to see.

SurvivorCord is sealed just like any other paracord, with one minor addition: Cutting the snare wire to length. Here are the steps we use in-house:

1. Cut your SurvivorCord to the desired length.

2. Pull the sheath back on each end by about 1/4 - 1/2 inch to expose the internal components.

3. Clip the wire (and jute if you wish) so that it is just short of the desired length.

4. Pull the sheath back into position.

5. Seal the ends with a lighter.

6. This should embed the slightly shortened wire into the melted end of the cord.

NOTE: Some people worry that the waxed jute will continue to burn like a fuse...this is not the case. The waxed jute will snuff out and melt into the ends, just like the nylon threads.
