Don't get me wrong, I think paracord is very useful. My wife took my roll of it to hang up swimsuits the last time we were camping.
I get the idea of being prepared and having a bit of everything a person may need. But I question the value of wrapping all my belongings with the stuff, especially when in a real survival situation my time would be better spent gathering firewood rather than untangling string from my other gear.
An average unopened spool of paracord (or the C Tire equivalent) takes up less space than a pepper shaker. I will continue to throw it in the bottom of my backpack.
