Join Operation Gratitude and Mercury Insurance to show support for deployed troops, Veterans, and first responders. Register here to receive your at-home paracord lanyard kit! Each kit will include materials to assemble five lanyards.
By taking the time to craft a paracord lanyard, you are providing a service member or first responder with a tangible, lasting expression of your gratitude, and a symbol of the appreciation of grateful Americans everywhere. 550 Paracord, which gets its name from parachute cord, can hold up to 550 lbs. of weight. The lanyard provides 5 feet of cord that can be used in an emergency.
Paracord Lanyards can be used to:
- Secure camouflage nets to trees or vehicles
- Build a makeshift shelter
- Extend a security strap or rope to reach and haul heavy objects
- Create a harness to extract an injured person from a bad location
- Make a sling or splint and more
