Survivalist kernmantle

An improved kernmantle cord of 550-Paracord, the improvement comprising:

• a kern at the core that includes:
• a plurality of synthetic fibers twisted into each of several full-length yarns;
• a continuous filament of jute twine fiber tinder waterproofed with paraffin-wax and not exceeding two millimeters in diameter;
• a continuous abrasion-resistant and clear and transparent nylon or fluorocarbon monofilament with at least a fifty pound test rating;
• a continuous length of metal wire not exceeding one millimeter in diameter;
• a plastic coating applied to the surface of the metal wire, and protecting the metal material from corrosion, and for mitigating any wire breaks, wherein the plastic coating further provides a degree of electrical insulation for the continuous length of metal wire;
• and
• an improved woven synthetic-thread mantle sheathing that includes synthetic threads disposed within that accommodate all longitudinal elements of the entire kern without leaving significant gaps in the mantle sheathing, and afford abrasion protection and pliability;
• wherein the mantle further provides additional electrical insulation for the metal wire.

A paracord, comprising:

• at least one strand adapted for fire-starting and tindering;

• and
• a single woven covering that sheaths the above together into a single pliable cord;
