Paracord is already amazing. Milspec paracord is even more butch. Then there's Titan SurvivorCord. It's a little stiffer and slightly bulkier than standard paracord, but it's barely noticeable. You may notice when tying knots with smaller hooks and turns, but it doesn't seem like it would be a problem. I tied a snake knot lanyard with the cord to try it out and it bound tightly and securely, as it should.
This review is going to run long, so let me sum up for those who don't need the details: It came exactly as pictured, and the included velcro binding strap is a nice freebie. The cord feels nice in the hand, and it's high quality is apparent when you handle it. Mine had no bulges or kinks and is completely smooth for the entire 100-foot length. I think this cord is absolutely the best you can buy, easily five stars and despite all of this, their pricing is competitive.
To be honest, the 'survivor' extras in this cord are absolutely a last ditch resource for me. I don't see myself ever stripping the waxed jute out of this cord, or the wire, or the fishing line in order to actually use them in the field. I might do it for the novelty of it, but just knowing they're in there, whatever I use the cord for, is reassuring. I do like the higher weight capacity (greater than 600lbs) and I plan to try out the tensile strength of the line by using it for a suspended tent rig. I expect it will handle the load nicely.
I bought this with a Spool Tool and this line is definitely a little bulkier than standard milspec paracord. (If you don't yet have a Spool Tool, I can't recommend it highly enough!) The Spool Tool can't quite handle 100-feet of this cord. That's not a horrible problem to have, but it's something to be aware of.
Photo - My orange Spool Tool is loaded with a little over 85-feet of this paracord. I don't claim to be adept at winding tightly, so if you're good at that, you can probably pack more onto your spool. You can see that the ends of the spool are just about overloaded, and the more you do that, the more likely it is to slip off, so wind with care. I am also not a great photographer, obviously, but you can see the detail of the three special strands:
25lb. Test Fishing Line: The fishing line was a pleasant surprise: it's thick and strong, not the thin stuff you often see in survival products where it's a value-add. I would absolutely trust it as a catch-all survival situation fishing line.
30 AWG (American Wire Gauge) Wire: The wire IS thin, but seems strong. I doubt it would be stiff enough or stout enough as snare wire in a single strand (reliable snares use braided cable a minimum of 1/32 of an inch for squirrel-sized animals, and get thicker as the animals get bigger), but I would trust it doubled or tripled up for actual use in a snare.
Waxed Jute Tinder Line: The waxed jute is pretty amazing. Six inches of this stuff shredded up makes for a nice pile of tinder. As you can see in the image, it is a fairly thick strand, and I'm sure it is responsible for most of the additional bulk in the cord.
All in all, I think you should try Titan SurvivorCord, or if you don't need the extras, Titan WarriorCord will cover your needs nicely. I researched the other survival paracords out there, and while there are many with appealing features, I feel that this is the best available. I also love what I've read about the company, they seem to be an awesome group.
