Why would you use a paracord belt or sling?

I have used my rigger's belt for about 3 years now and yes, I have rappelled down several buildings with it.

Its kind of a joke (but kinda not). In the nutjob survivalist circles a lot of people obsess with how much paracord they can carry discretely. A belt and sling can be disassembled and used as cordage if the need should arriseand (ie stranded on a desert island.) Paracord is particularly loved in these communities sinces its seven internal strands can be removed and used where likghter cord will do the job or may be needed (fishing line). This essentially gives you8x the length of your original cordage. However the likelihood you'll EVER have to go to such lengths to survive since almost all search and rescue cases are under 72 hours, is slim to none. The cast away situation is the only one I can think of. Otherwise you'll be more than a little hesitant to start disassembling your belt and pulling out your shoelaces.

I've been lifting in wrestling shoes for the past 16 years, I also have a pair of low top Chucks I lift in as well. I find them both great for lifting in, the only difference is the wrestling shoes are better for exercises like lunges because they're more flexible but, you can't go wrong with either one of them, they're both great for lifting.

Dude, you're going to be so ready for the zombie apocalypse.

On a lighter note, this has potential too look extremely cool I have the all-black Chucks, and used black paracord, but it would probably look sweet with OD green or something.

Lots of guys do that. I tried it. Wasn't for me. But lots of guys like it.

Used my Asics wrestling shoes a few times for DL and didn't like it. Think it was because the bottoms are so gummy that when I started pulling all the weight went through my heels and felt like there was a delay before they made contact with the ground. To mushy and uncomfortable. Don't enjoy barefoot either. Chucks for me.

Ah thanks y'all. I like em so will stick with it, since it seems harmless but since my twin brother lifts in chucks I will borrow his next week (he has a fight and isn't lifting) just to see if I like em better. Shit I am the one that bought them for him anyway.

Lifting in running shoes...sheesh
