Another 550 thread-Uses!

[longbow50]

I've been using a solid core nylon cordage for my lanyards and was going to use the 550 I just received to replace it. Then I got to thinking about it and wondered if I'd really want something strong enough to hold me and the wifes weight combined around my neck or another part of my body. Any number of things can happen, to where it gets hung up on something and could possibly be detrimental to the situation and my health. What are your thoughts on this?

i use one of those bead chains like dog tags have, much safer, would also not want to get accidentally hung on a piece of paracord.

NO, NO, NO. Never wear anything around your neck that will not break when pulled. I wear a hollowed out 550 sleeve on a ball chain to carry my WOO. When on active duty I did the same for my dog tags. There are plenty places to put it. Heck with an old hangmans noose I have three feet on my Micra.
