Paracord Daisychain

[Shmoogly3]

Perfect.  ~Andoni~

[Fretfeeler]

I have been daisy chaining my guitar cords for a couple of years now, after getting frustrated with tangled cords every gig before that, and not only is it quicker to set up, but since I've been doing that I haven't had to replace my guitar cords - just don't bend the soldered sections at the ends.

I also carry 12+ ft. of paracord with/as my belt, using a single strand daisy chain (as tight and consistent as possible) with a noose knot+figure 8 stopper fastener and it actually looks good too.

Beautiful ! been looking for a decent vid that explains this well. Thanks man.

I will now Daisy chain my 6 - 25 ft pieces. Cheers

[fredriklovgren]

GREAT VID MAN!!!

just what I was looking for.I put this type of braid at the end of my TOPS Atax knife.

Search "Paracord Doughnut" ... Great (GREAT) method for storing and dispensing long lengths of cordage ... Very "cool" too ... do check it out.

(Right here, on YT).

Hey, thanks for posting this video!! I used your method with the 50' of paracord I keep in my SAR/GOOD/Hiking pack, and it works great. It is much easier to manage and pack that way.  What I also did was tie a figure eight on a bight on one end and keep a caribeiner hooked to it.

[IHatchetJack]

@40MetersCW Cool man!  Glad it works for you!

[3Kitais]

finally a good video on the daisy chain - thanks!

[IHatchetJack]

@3Kitais No problem! Thanks for watchin!

[Foxr6]

Knowledge is Key, thanks for another grea post!!!!!

[Heavyb2u]

I'm glad to see you using this. I've been preaching the daisy chain for years, especially when boating.

[jerryweil51]

Another great teaching video, Dusty! This is the best paracord storage method I've seen, and a snap to undo in a hurry. Keep the videos coming!

[hilldm]

Sigh, I hate being the dumb one in a group...it's a great video, but I seem to be having a problem. I think I'm following your process carefully, yet for some reason the daisy chain doesn't unspool. When I try to deploy it, the cord is in a series of locks. In other words, each section I've pulled through seems to be locked off when I try to deploy, so I have to undo each pull through to deploy. Argh. That isn't articulate but it's hard to describe. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[IHatchetJack]

@hilldm This happens to me sometimes, easy fix though! Take the end you're suppose to pull and slide it back through the closest loop in the chain. If my explanation has worked it will unravel once you do this and pull the end.

If yer havin trouble after this bit of help..PM me and I'll walk you through it, or make another video if need be!

[hilldm]

@IHatchetJack Thanks man. That works link by link, but I have to do it for the whole chain. I must be doing something backwards. I appreciate your response and your videos. Hope you keep making vids because they really are first rate. Cheers!

[InternetMedicineMan]

@hilldm I know this is really old, but I only just found this video and I had the same problem as you the first time I tried to pull it out. What I was doing wrong was I was pulling the loose end through twice which just locks it again. It was really easy to do and at first I didn't even realize it. You need to just carefully take one loop and pull it over your loose end and then the rest should pull smoothly. I wasn't sure if this was your issue also, but figured I would share just in case.

[wmdrtr]

Cool! Like it a lot.

[asheradensein]

Thanks a ton, man. I just did this to all of my paracord; it was SOO frustrating always having to untangle my rope in order to work with it.

Thanks again.

[CdnLifeguard71]

I've just started carrying my cord this way. Thanks for the vid you explanation was great.

[Woodenarrows]

Good instructional video

[bootsnthejeep]

Hey, mint. I was at least one of the ones that asked about that, thanks for the explanation. Can't wait to ditch those tangled hanks.

[FranceBushcraft]

Gr8 Vid Well Done

[manx1324]

i do the same thing to store slacklines for slacklining and then when i need it i just hold on to one end and throw the other end towards the second tree that i am going to attach it to.

[kevisit111]

Thanks, Dusty.

[PerkinWarbecks]

Thanks for this, never seen it before, but will definitley use it now - cheers mate.

[medicjimr]

Great job explaining I agree there were not that many videos and were vague.

[enjoythewildUSA]

That was outstanding brother.

[humblefisherman]

well explained!

[IHatchetJack]

@humblefisherman Thanks man!  Nice of you to stop by!

[beast12101]

I used to daisy chain, but after working with tons of cable doing live sound, i coil over my thumb and finger

[azbushrat]

Thanks for sharing, I have done similar for extension cords but never thought to use it for 550.  Great idea!

[hobbexp]

hmmm, i do like that some time,, , and i believe all ppl do like that,

damn so worng i was, good you take it up.

fredde

[IHatchetJack]

@hobbexp Well I figured its good to have a video up showing how to do something, even if most people already know how to do it.

We knew nothing when we were first learning, right?

[hobbexp]

@IHatchetJack all i do is to put basic stuff together whit other basic stuff , so yeah, why not,

i like things like that, hope you do more videso like this,
