Field eXpedients: 550 paracord knot & lacing for SERE

Replace your single-strand boot laces in your TAN hot weather "desert" boots with TAN 450/550 parachute cord to provide 4 or 7 inner strands that can be extracted without leaving your boots untied--to build shelters, snares for food, tie things together etc.

To insure the boot laces stay centered in the boot's eyelets and barrel loops so you don't get uneven amounts of lacing when tying; tie an overhand knot in the center middle of the 550 paracord between the two bottom eyelets.

Don't throw away the single strand boot laces!

Tie them into Enemy Prisoner of War (EPW) Prusik knot cuffs:
