his hands are so pink....

[wanderingskeptic]

This is basically the same method used in Hojojutsu, a rope tying martial art from Japan. I'm sure it's been around for centuries. Good stuff.

LOL... a nomenclature.. gee you must either look up webflis "fedlog" or just like to sound cool...

[Narrowroadpenn]

That's cool if your hiking and your hooking it on a backpack but for normal storage I just wrap mine around a paint stick.

[gotcalves]

can you tell me what is thinner than 550 paracord?

[032125]

@gotcalves Try 3/32" tether nylon cord, or #12 Tarred Nylon Twine (Bank Line). Both are useful, and oftern far better than paracord for most small tasks.

@gotcalves The strings inside the paracord

[Original50]

I can understand this style of cord-storage, but if you ever have to use it, you have to commit to unravelling the whole thing and then re-winding the un-used portion. By tying a large/long cobra-pattern lanyard that goes around your shoulder (as worn with many cadet-cadre dress-uniforms etc) , you can conveniently cary many feet of cord, pull-off the length you need and simply seal-off the loose end and retain the general weave without any recover work. Get my drift?

[wanderingskeptic]

@Original50 But that would be very slow. I think the idea here is to have quick access without having to untie anything.

Where do you get your paracord?

[AirsoftShizsAndGigs]

Just wondering but what is the purpose of paracord?

[goldfingerx7]

@AirsoftShizsAndGigs

There are many, many uses for paracord. Way too many to list here. But, some are: for lashings, replacement boot laces, pull tabs, and there are several inner strands that can be used for sewing, fishing, small game traps. etc, etc, etc......a very useful if not necessary item.

[dnasplice]

i wold prefer to just tie a knot and loop at the end. the burning is cleaner. but i have found that somtimes they will unbind with force applied.

thanks for the vid guys!
