I use 550 paracord for shock cords on a lot of my MPR's. The problem with it is, because of its narrow width, it's prone to zippering. I've heard of some people using tape or Nerf darts as padding where the paracord meets the top edge of the body tube. But I got to thinking, what about a length of chain stitch? It would make the paracord thicker, and I hope, less zipper prone. It's certainly worth a try. You wouldn't have to worry about it slipping. I know it could still zipper, but maybe not as easily. Can anyone think of a reason not to try it?
