"Hoochie cord" is an Australian Army term for a thin nylon cord, usually coloured army olive drab, as it is used to erect a shelter, or hoochie.

It is sometimes incorrectly called parachute cord - which is a completely different product. Parachute cord is multi cored with several - up to 7 - white nylon cords enclosed in an olive drab sheath. In the US Army parachute cord is called "550 cord", as a common version is 550lb breaking strength. Do not confuse the two - hoochie cord is NOT as strong as parachute cord.
