Paracord uses and your favorite knots,fishing,tie down load etc.

I have been trying to learn how to braid,wrap and plat everything parra cord lately.
I own rifle slings and bracelets in parra cord and thought I would love to learn the art/skill, it wasn't as hard as I thought.
My first go on a $5 mini shovel.
Just learnt there is reflective and glow in the dark parra cord

Post up if you dabble in the cord.

I didn't tighten as the video instructs from the step down of the handle to the shaft but it will do on this one.

I reckon this is a great build wonder how it would look with polished 9mm or 45 shell cases?





Survivor parra cord fishing line, fire starter,wire ect

I'm sure this isn't what you were looking for, but it isn't as if the board is heavily used anymore. I use paracord in my sweatpants and athletic shorts after I break the original draw strings. Have to be careful to buy a version that doesn't shrink in the washer/dryer though. That was a weird lesson. I would have never guessed a little heat would screw with this tough, bushcrafty, etc tool. What stupid oversight in the design of some of it. Thought about trying it in place of leather when I re-lace a baseball glove, but I really haven't had the occasion to try that yet. I've also considered making some pull tabs on my backpacks with it, inspired by the rubber hosed pulls on ILBE backpacks, but I also have tried to be mindful of additional weight on my packs. I'm no ultralighter, but I think they have a lesson or two to keep in mind.

Yes it was good stuff Zeno. I did some pull tabs for my gun cases they look pretty rough but practice makes perfect. I found this video helpful.

I bought an axe/hammer for truck and added some parra wrap it feels way better than the moulded lines as grip. I added a silver beard bead to cord lanyard also.
I also added a luminous tag that I bought 10 of and have been putting them on anything not nailed down love em torches,car keys,wallet even my old fella cause we are in winter over here
I am changing over to the parra cord slings also. So cheap and comfortable in my option and obviously more useful if I needed cord. They come in all colours. I will learn this technique of plating sometime.

I use it to tie tarps down over my firewood, and use a trucker's hitch knot which allows tightening down later.
