With a 115 pound person inside of it?** A: Yes, I believe it is. Though I have not used it for anything like 115 lbs, I wouldn’t hesitate. **Q: How much does the 100’ Feet paracord with the carabiner weigh?** A: Not sure what you are using the paracord for. 100' of the Gear AID 550 is probably only a few ounces. It all depends on the type of carabiner...Is it make of plastic or stainless steel. Are you rock climbing or making bracelets???? **Q: Where is this made?** A: I think it's made in the Swiss Alps.. (roll eyes) **Q: Can you clean or machine wash this cord?** A: Maybe but make sure that the ends are tied or singed otherwise it may unravel. The casing can slide off the internal strands! Personaly i wouldn't wash this in a washing machine. But, it's up to you! Best of luck! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rope quality *by H***S on October 23, 2025* Really good rope ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 550 is always useful *by A***N on October 4, 2025* Paracord is so handy to have around.
