How to Make a Paracord Ladder Strap by TIAT

[weWILLskate]

I used to make these out of rope and climb out of windows...

[1985oranges]

can u make it into a bracelet

[covrj]

how do you make this with a side release buckle?

[rathmiron]

i asume you can increase the width off the rungs by simply winding the cord more times around the rung?

[Picasanta]

Thank you for your paciênce and persistence!

Thanks a lot!

[TyingItAllTogether]

@Picasanta - You're welcome... I'm just getting started!

[texasangel35100]

im glad i found you...im thinking about making some bracelets to support our troops, police officers, firemen/ems, and cancer awareness....

[kotabuuki]

Any ideas for how to turn this into a bracelet?

[rathmiron]

@kotabuuki maybe you could use the 'blood knot' ( you can see it in TIAT's video about a 'lizard tail sinnet') to make a loop in the beginning, and then tie a knot in the end which you can pull through the loop. TIAT used this technicue (don't know the right spelling) of fastening bracelets more often

[zandermanandcassymom]

Isn't this the same as, or at least similar to, a candy stripe bar?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@zandermanandcassymom - except for the colors used to demonstrate the ties, the two are completely different.

[kalif151byccrew]

Dude, you're amazing. I am going to have family knot nights again!

[jefferyoverman]

So if I want to make a small ladder like that but I want the finished length to be about 30 inches,How many feet of cord should I start with?

[MrSlippyfistPhd]

My wife made his knot after watching and she was wondering how you would either end it or start it to make a bracelet.

[GallantMind]

This one is one the coolest knots ever.

[neonseacow]

How do you tie the starting knot?

oh and by the way I love you videos<3

[TyingItAllTogether]

@neonseacow

Its a double overhand knot - the knot most use to tie off their shoe laces when they don't want them to come undone. Its probably the most basic of all knots. Thus you likely already know how to tie it. Check the web, you'll see. *smile*

make 100 more lol

[killkill120]

I love your videos! I want to buy your book. I like to wear my rope panties around the house. I have problems with my junk falling out though. Ha ha i kidding. Or am i?

[biomarburg]

Congrats on the 100th vid

OK so just asking the obvious, and im pretty a couple other people are thinking it, but can this knot/braiding be used to make a actual functioning ladder? With thicker rope of course

[TyingItAllTogether]

@biomarburg

...

The short answer is yes. What i showed you is the same method used to create a rope ladder. Only make the rungs farther apart and decide whether or not to use two colors of rope (not need for a regular rope ladder, but necessary for a totally cool rope ladder).

[bloomqmx]

Nice knot. will have to give it a go.

Question for TIAT

I cannot fine a quality video on round braiding of paracord for a leach.

would you ever consider making one. i cant follow the pic's on boondoggle mans page..

Thx

MIke

[Archer5219]

I meant to add that I really appreciate how clear and well-done your videos are. I really appreciate the little pause you give after a step, so I can see what you've just done. I find that REALLY helpful.

And I generally like the music too. It's a great combination. Many thanks!

[Archer5219]

Congrats on the 100th video!

[irhombus]

. . . . and nice choice of music.

[irhombus]

Congratulations on 100. These are some of the most useful videos on You Tube.

[Airsoft501stAirborne]

hey, i love your videos, they are really cool and interesting, but if i may suggest something, you should put the length of how long the peices of cord you used were, because i find myself many times, cutting down peices or cutting new peices because i cant see how long to make them. just trying to give some constructive critisism(cant spell) love your vids man! keep 'em commin!

[HrafnNordhri]

JD, I think I've watched and tied 99 of the 100, haven't done this one yet ;) One thing that I continue to have trouble with though... I simply cannot get my ropes (any of them) to do the FLASH and then the TA DA! all tight. its all good though, I'll continue manually tightening them as it reminds me of your gawd like stature in the world of knots.

Thanks for your dedication and I look forward to the new knot book.

[MrBillTroop73]

Happy 100th!

[RYDERkN]

its got to be painful to make these videos, because you at this point know all of them by heart jest about and you can follow them so well but you have to slow down for us n00bs

[HrafnNordhri]

@RYDERkN *ahem* "And god said, let there be a pause button... and it was so."

I think you will find that JD has great timing with his pauses and you can easily pause and or rewind when you need to.

[RYDERkN]

@HrafnNordhri i love his videos, i was more so ... admiring his skill, i can keep up for the first knot by looks but then when it gets about... 30 seconds in i have to stop skipping ahead in which its perfect

[Rocdenindy]

congrats on 100.  always like the different knots.

[waykno]

I forgot to ask earlier--you seem to have a preference for 450 over 550. Is that because it is a little "tighter" wind and somewhat smaller?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@waykno

...

First, 450 paracord has a wider variety of colors to chose from. Second, I like the way the cord lies. 550 is bulkier than 450 and a lot of the ties that look good with 450, don't look as clean with 550. That said, everything I tie can be tied with any cord you choose/prefer to use. All other things equal, cord choice is a question of personal preference.

[car12meek2]

Thank you for this, I just made one for my dad for father's day.

[waykno]

Congrats on 100--you and your production are the best I've seen on this subject. I've seen some that, after a "move", I would say to myself, "what did he/she just do?" Yours are very easy to follow. Thanks! And to thenrylee--all the vids I've seen, the music is credited. Maybe you aren't watching till the end.

[biguy525]

Very nice

JD

Congratulations on the 100th Video!

Thank you for all of the demonstrations and inspirations!

May the next 100 be as excellent!

[dolphinoela]

wow!!!! Love the Dayvan Cowboy! I like your videos more and more!!!

[ropeman14]

congreats on 100 videos

[jester02k]

Awesome video again congrats on reaching 100

[iceefreet]

thanks for all this cord rapping videos.

[thenrylee]

Congrats on your 100th video. Your production quality is some of the best on the web. I just recently found you ( 2 weeks ago??) and have gotten extreme enjoyment from watching and trying to learn. Two suggestions if I may: 1) If you could credit the music, I find it soothing and might be interested in purchasing the CD. 2) It would really help a novice like me to know how many feet makes how many inches so I know how much to cut. You did say 5', but I don't think you gave the ending length.

[SthealthRaider]

bracelet :P

[EonTactical]

Thanks for another great video!

[mikeblan789]

thats awesome 

[flimbabulous]

Dayvan Cowboy... I like your taste in music

[Matuliq1]

nice one

[Vandy1212]

Very creative--have not seen this design anywhere. Would love to make a bracelet out of it, but would need to know how to either connect the ends or how to weave a two chorded bracelet thru a side release buckle. Makes it a lot more complicated.

[Vandy1212]

I have problems tying knots using standard paracord. It is just too slick. I have yet to figure out how you make yours stay in place during the ties--mine wanders all over the place and has to be cinched up often because it is so slick it keeps sliding out of place constantly during the tying process.

[lauranikko]

I hope you make it to the 1000th!!!! You are the best!!!

[al3xd4gr34t]

Congrats on 100 videos! :D

[tronclay]

simply awesome, thanks again for another great project

[zootcst]
