Parachute Cord Boonie Hat

[jordub]

I used the daisy chain and the lanyard knot! My lanyard on my coat broke, and this was the perfect fix, thanks for posting!

yeah man im so anal about my daisy chained 550. i HAVE to have it be the tightest possible....one time i was daisy chaining 100 ft at work (haha busy busy), and after i was done i saw right in the middle was a loose one....i was so effing angry.

[bashfulbrother]

great job. Very inventive

one more way, there are paracord baracelts, up to 25 feet around your wrist. great thing to do specially when you dont always have a hat or your in a formal place were you cant wear your boonie

i have a boonie hat with a stiff brim and for some reason i threw it in the laundry now the brim is soft due to the fabric softeners and its annoying how it covers my eyes, any way to make it stiff again??

@giansantiago starch

[giansantiago]

@CouteauDeBoucher thanks a friend of mine from the Irish army told me the same, but he said stich the brim together so you get that frill like effect on the brim then starch it, thanks for replying though :)

I daisy chain my power cords

[wayfinder15]

@welderhondadrew Me too, works good.

hey man instead of a half hitch just do the last loop but pull the loop through, it makes it where it cant fail, if i pull on a half hitch itll come undone if you pull on it like that your gonna break the cord before anything else.

[wayfinder15]

@slapoutz Never had a half hitch come undone and been doing it this way for years.

[injunbfi]

Thanks for the great informative video. I really liked the way you were very methodical about the process. Made it very easy to follow you and grasp the concept.

[wayfinder15]

@injunbfi Thank you. I tried to be that way. No good if it comes out as clear as mud lol.

[skydive911]

I have to say that ist's realy nice how you do that. But what is it used for?

Is it to give the hat a solid shape?

Regards!

[wayfinder15]

@skydive911 its to have have extra cord on you for just in case times.

[feltwiener69]

[wayfinder15]

[madfaxmanuk]

what length of 550 do u need to make the lanyard knot ??

[wayfinder15]

I started with a 8-10 inch length. I left it pretty loose then tightened it down so they would fit over the daisy chain tightly.

[jameasun]

is that also called a turks head knot ( the decor knot)

[OKBushcraft]
