But if you're banking on the strength of true 550 lb Paracord, TOUGH-GRID is the only choice between these two

I feel like the TOUGH-GRID comes off more "gold-ish" while the Paracord Planet is a bit more subdued

Regardless, TOUGH-GRID is the winner here in my book!Also, the Paracord Planet came strangely damaged (used?)

As you can see, TOUGH-GRID has 7 inner strands that have 3 smaller, intertwined strands each which military-spec cord is supposed to have
