A prepper family's cord business
Bill Hanover says his family started stocking emergency supplies about 25 years ago. He became a dealer for a water filter brand, found he liked outfitting other people, and built TOUGH-GRID from there. He runs it with his son Adam and a small team. The company says it partners with US manufacturers or makes its own products.
Besides paracord it sells shock cord, a thinner Ultra-Cord, a 700 lb reflective cord and BackBone rifle slings.
What the Mil-Spec label covers
TOUGH-GRID's FAQ pages say "Our paracord is manufactured right here in the USA using only American made materials." It says all of its 550 lb cord meets the Mil-C-5040H Type III spec and its 750 lb cord meets Type IV, that sheath and inner strands are 100% nylon, and that it holds a Certificate of Compliance. Not every color it sells is one the military buys.
The three we list are 50 and 100 ft hanks of 550 Type III and a 50 ft hank of 750 Type IV. The company does not name the mill that braids the cord. Orders ship from warehouses in several states, which is why one order can arrive in more than one box.
