5 Survival Uses for Reflective Paracord in the Backcountry

When you're deep in the backcountry, the smallest piece of gear can be the one that saves the day. Reflective paracord isn’t just a utility—it's a backcountry essential.

Here are 5 survival-driven uses for TREYL Braap Cord that every snowmobiler, camper, or adventurer should know:

 


1. Emergency Shelter Rigging

Whether your tent poles snap or you need to throw up a makeshift tarp to escape a storm, paracord is your go-to. TREYL’s Braap Cord gives you high tensile strength and visibility at night.

 


2. Trail Marking in Low Light

Get turned around in a blizzard or deep woods? Tie Braap Cord to trees or rocks to mark your way. The reflective fibers shine back with any light source.

 


3. Gear Tie-Down

Strap your gas can, tools, or snowshoes securely with paracord. It’s stronger and more reliable than bungees—and way lighter.

 


4. Towing Light Loads

Braap Cord isn’t made to tow full sleds—but it’s perfect for dragging gear, tarps, or getting your skis unstuck. Every ounce of strength helps.

 


5. Emergency Splint or Tourniquet

In a worst-case scenario, paracord can help stabilize a break or act as a temporary tourniquet. The rugged outer sheath holds tight.

Don’t just ride with hope—ride with the TREYL Braap Cord. It’s extra-strength, highly visible, and ready when things go sideways.
