If u pull a little white cord out of one of your colors and cut it. Then melt one end of the other color . You can slip that end into the end that u hollowed out. Then melt it with a lighter. That's what i do it works great
I know this is probably fairly variable, but how much cord is used in the first layer of cobra knotting? Probably a bit longer cord in the second? Reason I ask is these aren't going to be just for pretties. I wonder what you'd think of making the first and "King" layer contiguous; one long length -first and second layer... so the wearer can have a longer piece of 550 to work with in case of need. Thanks for the great vid! Very informative! A+!
@fireguardburnt That is a great idea. Lots of people have done it before, and yes it works just fine. It takes a very long piece of cord though! Good luck!
thanx for the demo!!! I ordered some 550 and 1/2" buckles today I'll give your advise a go, I'm sure it'll work out I already know how to tie the regular cobra knot so this shouldn't be too difficult for me.
I don't see why you make the extra loop when you are knotting it. You are making it confusing. Just bring one part over, put the other on top, bring it through the one loop, and tighten. Much easier.
i tried fusing them like that but was never able to so i came up with my own way. you get one strand of paracord pull out the white strands, not a lot maybe two inches to be safe cut them off and you should have a hollow tip of paracord then you get the other strand and push it inside the other then melt the them both together you might even use some superglue to make sure.

i think the bracelets are cool.... but... what if you made a belt using the king cobra knot and then have the belt buckle be a climbing carabiner? It would be the most useful belt you would ever use if you had to! Very nice vid by the way! enjoyed it greatly and learned something too!
@guitarmikey2 couldn't u just fuse the rope like u said 2 make it 2 colored but then make it around just a normal starter like with a plain cobra stich
An excellent video, thanks for making it. I want to make 2 carrying straps,each about 15 inches long, for my archery bag. Do you have any suggestions how I might make a similar strap to yours but with 3 or 4 lengthwise strands of paracord instead of 2 ? Thanks, Pete
LOL. Men's craft time. Love it. Great video. Very entertaining and informative. I always wondered how the bigger bracelets were made. Thanks. Oh, and make all the S's you want.
If you pay attention you do not need the first loop in your cord. the one that you are putting the other side of the cord over then going under the bracelet then back up from under...... the first hole falls away when you pull everything taught!just go under and through the second loop and you save a ton of time
I wish you would have just drove/flew over to my house and made these for me instead of making a free youtube video how to... Gosh you're SO lazy! LMAO Cool viddy I do it a little different but attain the same result.
did this on a bracer that wa sslightly to big, did my first 3 today :) Shackels were pretty tricky to do good but otherwise this was fucking brilliant, thanks alot!
do you need double the length b/c you are covering a larger area, how do you determine how much cord you need . Thanks for the tips, My kids and I are having a blast working together on Bracelets. Good times. Thanks
@Billyboler Sorry man, I don't really have a good formula to use, I just try to over-estimate a little bit. But yeah, I think you need about 1.5 times the amount of cord you would use on a regular cobra knot. Hope this helps! Glad it's been a source of some good quality family time!
@Billyboler use 10 feet for a cobra weave and use 20 feet for a king kobra weave and you usually want to add 1.5 inches to your normal wrist size, because it is thicker and takes up more space.
@Billyboler For every 1 inch you measure for your wrist, you need 1 foot. So if your wrist is 7 inches you need 7 feet for the regular cobra braid. For the king cobra, you need double(14 feet). I usually add 5 inches on afterwards just in case

Thanks sooo much for dumbing that down for me i thought the cobra stitch was something completely different and i was dying to make the duo tone and i COULD NOT find a video that made it this clear thanks again :)
i have two of these!! one of them is white para. and purple camo para. then my other one is neon yellow & neon pink paracord. i love them. they are really really sturdy, but the only downside: they shrink when you put them in water. thank goodness the person who made them for me told me that before i went swimming in them. haha :))
@elaiel. Why don't you ask a Marine in Iraq if it's manly. Lots of soldiers make these to pass the time. If you needed to construct an emergency shelter that cord could come in handy. Also the core has 7 fine strands that would work as fishing line in a pinch. You must be one of those people who go on YT and tells everyone that their talents suck.
@guitarmikey2 Thanks for the video and explanation. I also have found the S loop unnecessary, but that's not a criticism.
Has anyone tried reversing at the bottom of the Cobra layer rather than cutting and starting over at the top for the King Cobra? This would give you a longer piece of cord.
I have done the Cobra braid a couple of times; it's a bummer to see that you missed a wrap in the middle.
Your "wife has the TV blaring in the next room." Sounds like she's trying to get your attention
@dptroutt yes you can reverse the knot and go back over your first run quite easily. It works great. Missed a wrap in the middle? She may have been trying to get my attention, but I really don't think so. I told her to turn the t.v. up loud so she couldn't hear me talking in the next room. Thanks for watching.
@plumberjoe80 - not only can you use the small strands for fishing line you can also use it for setting primitive traps and with a little mud and charcoal you can may a sweet trip line to set off just about any booby trap imaginable! learned this trick from onPoint Tactical Scout Tracking and Survival School [mk]
Kinda unrelated to the video but could you make a video showing good ways to hit the burns where you fuse the cord together? This is the one thing I struggle with when making these bracelets. It's like every time I look down there is a big burn mark from where I fused the cord together. This would be great help, other people might benefit from it too.
People make that cobra stich 10 times harder than it needs to be you don't need to make an "S" Go into the google search box and put "how to make a paracord bracelet" and click the first link, it shows you an easy fast an very simple way to do the cobra stich........
@TrueOutdoorsMan16 This is the way I learned to do it, so this is the way I showed how to do it on the video. I'll waste my time making the "S" and you can waste yours making comments like this. I think making the "S" is a very simple and easy way to remember how to do it. It's not 10 times harder. That's a big exaggeration. I can't stand comments like this. If you want to make a video of an easier way to do it, then get to it bubs! Don't waste space in my comment section!
ur focus isnt that bad..i enjoyed watchin ur making of the survival bracelet. as a 56 yr old strioke survivor, i still get out in the woods alot just not as far/fast as i used to. because og limited use in one hand i was wondering what u would charge to make one for me and send to me in canada? keep making good vids i love 2 watch. thx karen
To add on to my last comment I just did a triple. It is a bit bulky to wear, but it would make a great lanyard. The weave is 8.5" long and uses a 25' single length of cord.
The single length cord is the same principal. I just made my first bracelet and decided to king it with a single length. Rather than starting over just continue on from the bottom back up over the work you just did. I used just over 20' and came up short of the 7" mark I wanted to hit. I got 7" out of the single cobra and 6" from the double. Make sure you go a little long on your cord and you'll be fine. Thanks for teaching me Mikey! Going to start on my second now!
Whats the ratio of how many feet of paracord vs how many feet you get out of it? Do you know because I'd like to make some bigger ones for calls but I wouldn't know how many feet I'd need.
thanks man great video focus is whatever you tried.
"Craft time for men" Lol! Been makin' these for years. Just started using curved side release buckles in them though. Makes it a lot easier to get them on/off when you're groggy/tired!! Cool vid man, Thanks!
what kind of cord do you use to make these bracelets?it looks almost like you're using shoe laces,I'd like to try to make some of those but I wanna make sure that I get the right thing to make these types of bracelets first
well its also not just a bracelet its a great way to keep your rope kept neatly together so when ur camping or out in the back contry its quick and easy to get off ur wrist and use
Awesome video it helps alot! I see all of my friends with these bracelets. I want one very badly and now I know how to make one. Thanks alot awesome video.
thats very cool, just made my first bracelet, i like the king cobra because with the single cobra i used about 6' of cord, with the king i bet it would be getting close to 15', well thanks for the tutorial bud!
Thanks for your videos bro! I've started making my own and ones for family and friends! I plan on making these for people while i'm if afghanistan as well!

i have two of these!! one of them is white para. and purple camo para. then my other one is neon yellow & neon pink paracord. i love them. they are really really sturdy, but the only downside: they shrink when you put them in water. thank goodness the person who made them for me told me that before i went swimming in them. haha :))

How much cord do you need in order to make the king cobra? I know you use about 10" for every inch of bracelet when you do the regular cobra knot.

i used about 10 feet to tie a 6 inch bracelet. i putt each knot really tight and had about 6 inches left on each rope when done.

@elaiel. Why don't you ask a Marine in Iraq if it's manly. Lots of soldiers make these to pass the time. If you needed to construct an emergency shelter that cord could come in handy. Also the core has 7 fine strands that would work as fishing line in a pinch. You must be one of those people who go on YT and tells everyone that their talents suck.

@guitarmikey2 Thanks for the video and explanation. I also have found the S loop unnecessary, but that's not a criticism.
Has anyone tried reversing at the bottom of the Cobra layer rather than cutting and starting over at the top for the King Cobra? This would give you a longer piece of cord.
I have done the Cobra braid a couple of times; it's a bummer to see that you missed a wrap in the middle.
Your "wife has the TV blaring in the next room." Sounds like she's trying to get your attention

@dptroutt yes you can reverse the knot and go back over your first run quite easily. It works great. Missed a wrap in the middle? She may have been trying to get my attention, but I really don't think so. I told her to turn the t.v. up loud so she couldn't hear me talking in the next room. Thanks for watching.

@plumberjoe80 - not only can you use the small strands for fishing line you can also use it for setting primitive traps and with a little mud and charcoal you can may a sweet trip line to set off just about any booby trap imaginable! learned this trick from onPoint Tactical Scout Tracking and Survival School [mk]

Not "hit"
FluffyBoy32 1 year ago
Kinda unrelated to the video but could you make a video showing good ways to hit the burns where you fuse the cord together? This is the one thing I struggle with when making these bracelets. It's like every time I look down there is a big burn mark from where I fused the cord together. This would be great help, other people might benefit from it too.
Thanks and Keep up the great videos!

People make that cobra stich 10 times harder than it needs to be you don't need to make an "S" Go into the google search box and put "how to make a paracord bracelet" and click the first link, it shows you an easy fast an very simple way to do the cobra stich........
TrueOutdoorsMan16 1 year ago
@TrueOutdoorsMan16 This is the way I learned to do it, so this is the way I showed how to do it on the video. I'll waste my time making the "S" and you can waste yours making comments like this. I think making the "S" is a very simple and easy way to remember how to do it. It's not 10 times harder. That's a big exaggeration. I can't stand comments like this. If you want to make a video of an easier way to do it, then get to it bubs! Don't waste space in my comment section!

For every inch you use a foot of paracord for ex. You want a 7 in bracelet you use 7feet of cord.

ur focus isnt that bad..i enjoyed watchin ur making of the survival bracelet. as a 56 yr old strioke survivor, i still get out in the woods alot just not as far/fast as i used to. because og limited use in one hand i was wondering what u would charge to make one for me and send to me in canada? keep making good vids i love 2 watch. thx karen

To add on to my last comment I just did a triple. It is a bit bulky to wear, but it would make a great lanyard. The weave is 8.5" long and uses a 25' single length of cord.
low80elco 1 year ago
The single length cord is the same principal. I just made my first bracelet and decided to king it with a single length. Rather than starting over just continue on from the bottom back up over the work you just did. I used just over 20' and came up short of the 7" mark I wanted to hit. I got 7" out of the single cobra and 6" from the double. Make sure you go a little long on your cord and you'll be fine. Thanks for teaching me Mikey! Going to start on my second now!
low80elco 1 year ago
Whats the ratio of how many feet of paracord vs how many feet you get out of it? Do you know because I'd like to make some bigger ones for calls but I wouldn't know how many feet I'd need.
thanks man great video focus is whatever you tried.

Can you make a video showing how to make a king cobra bracelet with a single length of paracord so maybe I can keep a 15' piece of solid cord?
